In Devi Chandragupta, it is written that Ramgupt forcefully marries Dhruvadevi/Dhruvaswamini who is actually Chandragupt’s finance. After the discussed episode, when she is sent to the Shakraj Kharvela’s camp, Chandragupta kills both Shakraj and Ramgupt. I agree with Jayvardhan’s theory that it is possible that it is a propaganda piece as in the story Ramgupt is repeatedly called नपुंसक.

we find mauryan proof in pataliputra which was older than guptas.. and of course of licchavis in flood prone regions of north bihar. isnt it hillatious that most culturally advanced of all ancient dynasties ie Guptas wont leave any archeological evidence in their capital region (had pataliputra been their capital .) But we have a lot of such proofs in prayag and Ayodhya.

Gupt surname nowadays is generally associated with vaishya/ baniya communities. However, its really purpose has been to keep one's true antecedents a secret. It was perfect on the part of a ruler to not associate oneself with any particular varna as they represent the people and not some particular group!! Gupta emperors must be appreciated for this aspect rather than the veiled criticism that is being resorted to!!

[@ashwaryp]

Gupt here means under protection So Chandragupt(a) means "One who is protected by Chandra Deva", similarly Samudragupt(a) means "One who is protected by Samudra Deva", same applies to Skandagupt(a), Ramagupt(a), Narsinghgupt(a), Buddhgupt(a) etc. Gupt was not their surname which usually people think. This whole confusion is caused due to use of English and thus mispronunciation of their name. Sanskrit and other Indian languages have a lingering "a" sound after consonants like Ka (क), Kha (ख), Ga (ग) etc. Therefore Indian names ending with a consonant usually have an "a" in their end eg:- Rama, Laxmana, Krishna etc. but names ending with a vowel don't have a lingering "a" sound i.e., Vishnu, Laxmi, Saraswati, Parvati etc. The problem lies in transliteration as English doesn't diffrentiate between "a" (अ) and "aa" or "ā" (आ). In India we don't commnly use diacritics (it is used in academic and scholarly works only) which can help in transliteration. The Vaishya surname is actually Guptā with आ (ā) i.e. lot of emphasis on the vowel unlike the Gupt(a) rulers whose names end with त and not ता. People shouldn't confuse both of them, both of them are world's apart.

Whenever there is a good thing everyone wants to claim the same. Gupta vansh or Gupta empire were Magadhi and Biharis , thats why they ruled from Magadha/Patliputra and if they belong to East UP then they would have made capital Ayodhya. Now enough is enough we Biharis will take our history and pride back....... All the Gupta Kings belong to Magadha and Bihar....... We will fight for our history and will take our pride back....

[@aryanjaiswal8935]

Lmao stop doing this rona mayn. Gupta coins , inscription and everything is found in concentration in East UP. First Gupta's inscription is in East UP. And fyi there is a theory of Ayodhya being a Gupta capital as well. Also Patliputra was like a grand city so any king from any region will make it their capital.The truth is we don't where they actually ruled from,even Patliputra being is a theory only It's now about who is Bihari who is Purvanchali, these identities didn't even existed back than. It's a cold truth.

[@Ayushk_sinha]

​@@aryanjaiswal8935No Gupta rulers were from Bihar and Patliputra was the capital of Gupta Dynasty. Yes Ayodhya was important city for Gupta dynasty because Samudra Gupta King 2nd son (ChandraGupta II) was brought up in that city. Samadra Gupta King mother was from Licchavi clan. Everywhere in Historical books and Wikepedia it is written that Patliputra was the capital of Magadha. No where it is written that Ayodhya was the capital of Guptas. This youtuber i am watching since very beginning he is having some kind of allegies with us thats why he is detroying our history.

East UP aur Bihar waise bhi bohot similar hai🥱 purvanchal log mathura ke braj waasi se zyada sambandh bihari bhojpuri se rakhte hai. Ye vivaad faltu ka hai

[@kumar3321]

Dear KZbinr, you must tell the audience that at that time there was no region like Poorvanchal. You may be narrating only because of Bithari Pillar Inscriptions of Skandagupta (discovered in the village of Bhitari near Saidpur of Ghazipur district in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, now being called as Poorvanchal, dating back to the reign of Gupta Empire ruler Skandagupta (c. 455 - c. 467 CE)) built as a memorial in remembrance of his great victory over foreign nomadic invaders like Hunas etc. Renowned historian R C Majumdar has called Skandgupta the ‘Saviour of India’ on account of his great victory.

[@TransgirlsEnjoyer]

[@ShivamPandey-ff1wg]

At that time there was no Bihar state too,

[@himanshushekhar6617]

My dear friend the boundary of malla janapada and magadh starts from the Gandaki (gandak river ) before that till chhapra it was malla and after gandak it was vrijji I'm north and magadh in south so, the bhojpuri speaking region in Bihar in currently is on the left bank of Gandaki river and shares land border with purvanchal but the natural boundary which demarcates the difference in culture starts from gandak river. If you want I can show map of relevant region and can explain effectively. If you want reply will connect

[@himanshushekhar6617]

​@@TransgirlsEnjoyernope purvanchal is not bihar bihar has four cultural regions 1. Vrijji northern bihar i.e Vaishali 2. South Bihar - Magadha( patna ) 3. Mithila-Anga 4. Remanent of malla janapada i.e west champaran, gopalganj a part of Sivan and remanant of Kashi Janpada i.e buxar Ara mohania area . Only the remanants of Kashi and malla Janpada are similar to purvanchal and have more similarities with awadh and purvanchal than rest of bihar. In this region is bhojpuri speakers are found which is very very much different from up's region like in malla - gorakhpur region sarwari is spoken Kashi - Banaras where pachhmaiya is spoken. So I will advice never ever say purvanchal is same as bihar because purbachal is more similarly to kosala i.e ayodhya but have distinct culture of its own whereas bihar has its unique culture of vrjii magadh and mithila ... The bhojpuri regions are different from rest of bihar which are similar to purvanchal just similar not same

The illiteracy regarding history is insane in India. Many in the comments are conflating the Gupta surname of today with those of Gupt(a) Empire which is hilarious and stupid at the same time. Gupt here means "under protection of _____". So Chandragupt(a) means "One who is protected by Chandra Deva", similarly Samudragupt(a) means "One who is protected by Samudra Deva", same applies to Skandagupt(a), Ramagupt(a), Narsinghgupt(a), Buddhgupt(a) etc. Gupt was not their surname which usually people think. Same goes from Chandragupt(a) of Mauryan Dynasty. This whole confusion is caused due to use of English and thus mispronunciation of their name. Sanskrit and other Indian languages have a lingering "a" sound after consonants like Ka (क), Kha (ख), Ga (ग) etc. Therefore Indian names ending with a consonant usually have an "a" in their end eg:- Rama, Laxmana, Krishna etc. but names ending with a vowel don't have a lingering "a" sound i.e., Vishnu, Laxmi, Saraswati, Parvati etc. The problem lies in transliteration as English doesn't diffrentiate between "a" (अ) and "aa" or "ā" (आ). In India we don't commnly use diacritics (it is used in academic and scholarly works only) which can help in transliteration. The Vaishya surname is actually Guptā with आ (ā) i.e. lot of emphasis on the vowel unlike the Gupt(a) rulers whose names end with त and not ता.

No where in this video they mention , I think, is that Patliputra ( modern day Patna ) was the capital of Gupta Empire from Samudra Gupta onwards. It was this king , who made Patliputra their capital after presumably subjugating whatever remained of Magadha by that time. They seemed fixated with Prayag Raj all the time in this video , probably to keep reinforcing their line of argument that Guptas were purvanchali. They may have originated in that region ( in fact there was no Bihar as we know it today ) , but imeprial Gupta's seat of power was in Patliputra.

Sadly with arya samaji and sanskritisation some sub altern communities like kacchi, koeri changed their surnames to get some social mobility.

Then why no bhumihar or thakur in Bihar or UP has title of maurya or Gupta ?? Speculation to kuch bhi kar do 😂😂 bhumihar call themselves as Brahmin for social mobility too though they got stuck between Brahmins and Kshtriyas. And most have title of roy or Rai some adopted Singh again to show themselves as rajputs . Bhumihar are often laughed at in various castes 😂😂 . Also most land with them are due to Brit policy. In Punjab haryaana jutt and jat became dominant zamindar due to British. Jaats do were farming community but they were loosing farms rapidly to lalas/Baniyas . They rebelled so Brtis banned all other caste to own land there. Similarly Brits permanent settlement in Bengal Bihar odisha created modern zamindar of india .

[@GuzzarAwan]

Why the hell Gupta became dominant title of Baniyas ?? Is also a big question if Gupta was title of such formidble "kshtriya" empire who ruled for 300 years atleast . Gupta shd have been the default title of kshtriyas after this . But I have not met one kshtriya with this title. Gupta being Brahmin can be understood to a level as Chankya name was also VishnuGupt.

Mr Jaya earlier there was no seperate province like Bihar.The flora , life style, genetics and culture of the people living in entire Purvanchal was the same.i am a doctor.Even scientifically, the attempt for excessive classification, categorisation, divisions and splitting of the fact become too theoretical and that lead to loss of truth, essence and direction of a fact

[@parjanyashukla176]

Does Eastern UP really include Awadh? Awadh, with Lucknow/Faizabad as centre, is more like Central UP. Its language is Awadhi and not Bhojpuri. (13:30) And they are unlikely to be Kshatriyas, because if Kshatriyas had existed in this time, they would have ruled in Punjab also. Even Mauryans weren't Kshatriya either. Kshatriya varna probably ended by the time of Greek invasion. Rajputs arose later after Guptas.

Lol... all the dynasties ruling from Patliputra were essentially originated in and around the region of Patliputra. So were Mauryas, so were Guptas and even before all of them Mahapadmnanda also had a huge empire controlling it from Patliputra. He has been called 'Ekrat' or the only king in puranas as he had defeated every other king of India. There is no reason why someone from Purvanchal would shift his capital to Pataliputra when Patliputra had ceased to be a political and commercial centre for 400-500 years at that point.
