True that's the problem with religious texts. Buddhist texts speak highly of Kings who provided patronage to Sangha even if they were mediocre rulers.

[@randomturd1415]

I take it as exaggerations but not negations. For example - pushyamitra shunga and mihurakula were most likely intolerant of Buddhists. However the numbers proposed are often impossible. It's the same with the muslim sources depicting their bloody conquests proudly in India. The events were most likely true and bloody as described, but the numbers of armies themselves mentioned in those texts are highly unlikely.

Huns have believed originally in tengrism in central asia and altaian siberia. Huns have mixed with monghols and koreans in Xiongnu and converted to buddhism partly. Huns mixed with iranic people in south central asia region and converted to zoroastrainism partly. Huns mixed with slavic people in east europe region and converted to christianism partly. After hunnic/turkic people have met arabic islam, they mostly converted to islam. Turkic people are easygoing in religions.

[@JayVardhanSingh]

I don't think Rajputs are the descendants of the Huns.

[@nav9005]

Jay vardhan is a rajput himself

[@JayVardhanSingh]

Yes, I am. But what that has to do with the question. I haven't come across any genetic study that claims Rajputs are some distinct group that have a significant "Hunnic" ancestry. Since the claim is that Rajputs are descendants of the Huns, don't you think it should also reflect on the genetic makeup of the Rajputs. If you know of any such study do share here.

5:51 Mihirkula on this coin looks like Prithviraj Kapoor from Pakeeza as Akbar.😂 Anyways on serious note, awesome episode. 👍 On this coin of Mihirkula we see a scrolling vine branching out on left and right. On one end of this is the Umbrella ☂ and on the other is Trishul 🔱 . The symbols of Buddha and Shiva. Do we know what the coin inscription reads? Also the Kidarite Huns have a dressing style we have come to identify as Iranian the Flying Ribbon Headgear. But the Alcon Huns don’t have this kind of dressing at all. So my question is what leads historians to club both as Huns? What does the ‘Hun’ identity mean- is it ethnic, tribal association, social, political, religious or a geographical identity. And what gives people this dual identity Alcon+Hun?

[@JayVardhanSingh]

There's considerable evidence. Firstly the Chinese and other accounts of this period viewed Alchons and Hephthalites as Huns. For example, from Song Yun, we learn that the Hephthalites helped the Alchons rise. Then we have some artefacts that provide information about the close connection between the Alchons and the Hephthalites, suggesting that these two groups were Huns. You've also the seal of Hunaraja from Kaushambi, which probably refers to Toramana. Then in the inscription of Prakashadharman, Yashodharman and the Maukharis, these Alchons are described as Hunas. All of this makes it quite clear that these Alchons were Huns.

[@VSM101]

Mihirkula persecuted Buddists and was Shivite

When talking about ancient history of northwest region there was no concept of Iran, it was Persia. From Persia to south, it was one region, can be called Bharatvarsh. And, we had all similar religions and cultures with good amount of interchange. This interchange finally resulted into Sanatan dharma. So, please correct yourself and stop using the word Iran, and kly use Persia.

I've made this map based on the evidence of Gupta coinage. In Sindh we don't find any extensive Gupta coinage. The Gupta inscription also doesn't mention that this area was under there control (as far as I am aware). About the Southern part, there was no complete conquest that happened. We only know that these rulers submitted to Samudragupta and after that Samudragupta reinstated these Southern rulers. There's no evidence to suggest that the Gupta ever have effective control in these Southern territories.
