Well after Mahapadma was done, there were no kingdoms left in the uttarapath until you hit central Punjab ( madra region)

Btw, i will nominate another guy for one of the greatest rulers India has ever seen - Ugrasen, aka Mahapadma Nanda. He can be considered the first major 'emperor' of India in the true sense of the word : He turned a dominant Magadh kingdom into a true empire - the definition of which, is where...

Most people roamed back in the day like you see in the tv serial mahabharata, as i said. We were less bothered with bare skin before the islamists came and influenced our morals via domination. That is why north western India is more anti-woman than the rest, due to proximity and deeper...

they are dressed more or less the same as you see people dressed in the old mahabharata serial. Why dont you see how well you do wearing westoid clothing in middle of june in bihar with no pankha. For eg, in ancient india, being nearly topless for women were quite common, you still see it today...

Sanskrit is also the world's first linguistically perfected language, thanks to Panini, Patanjali and the prior sages named by Panini. Its the advancement of sanskrit that lead to the far more systematic & advanced abiguda script of India, over the more primitive alphabetic script of westoids...

Uhhh...MOST of his edicts are in Sanskrit and Ardhamagadhi, while only the ones in Afghanistan & Peshawar are also in Greek ( bilingual). What these dumb westoid-wannabe anti-nationals confuse, is that Ashokan inscriptions are not in Devanagari SCRIPT. That script didn't even exist and are all...

i dont get what you are trying to say/imply ?!?

Devanampriya piyadassi is a title used in the brahmi inscriptions, which translates to 'one who's name is favourite of the gods, one who is their(gods) favourite servant/one who the gods love to see'.

sad thing is, Toramana and Mihirkula are the reason Pataliputra &Takshashila are in ruins and while they did convert to hinduism from exclusive sun worship, they did bring with them the savageries of central asian culture and its typical genocidal, slaver mentality.

Skandagupta fought the Huns- it was the Xionite huns he fought and crushed in the northern frontier, though the records mention the war to be never-ending and devastating to the Gupta coffers - something we can see in numismatics, where Skandagupta onwards, the coins get debased in value.

Agreed. Ashoka is not a big favourite of mine, because he failed the biggest test of a good administrator - securing succession. Ultimately, its Ashoka's failure to secure succession that started the downward spiral of the Maurya dynasty and ultimately, the Magadh empire.

Hara huna. Aka, Hepthalites/ Alchon Huns. That is what Mihirkula was.

You have no idea, how 'dhonno' i feel reading this - that Indians of the younger generation ( i assume you are U-30) know of Govinda III or Dhruva Dharavarsha. It took people of my generation a lot of personal effort and study to go past the whole 'here is ashoka, here is chandragupta...

few more names to be considered : Mahapadma Nanda ( first real emperor of India) Amoghavarsha ( IIRC, longest ruling emperor in Indian subcontinent) Dharmapal Devpal ( the greatest gaudeshwaras and last halcyons of Boudh-dharma in the subcontinent) Pukalesi the second Krishna the second...
