    These ‘yavana’ invaders assimilated well into our society and kept Taxilla intact as they were intellectually curious and open minded.
    Then came the ‘mlechchas’ invaders, who as we all know were terribly brainwashed and destroyed everything in their way included the legendary Taxilla university and massive massive amount of knowledge was lost.
    Thankfully bravehearts such as Maharana Pratap & Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj were born who restored that pride back 🙏🏽

    Nagarjuna /Nagasena converted Menander into Buddhism
    Another Nagarjuna was in the court of Kushna ruler Kanishka
    Was the both Nagarjuna same or different ?

    • @Glimpses
      @Glimpses  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      These two are different as Kanishka from Kushan dynasty belongs to a later period. I'm not aware if Nagasena, who converted Menander was also called Nagarjuna. The suffix Naga means serpent or the people belonging to a region in North India.
