Timeline is vague here. Chandragupta & Seleucid Nicator had a series of battles back after Alexander invasion. Possible in 302 BC after Alexander's death in 323 BC. Also there are clear records of Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC much before Alexander. Indian contingent under King Xerxes also took part in it. Possibly Gandhara & Punjab armies.

Accourding to recent studies The Greek encountered ChandraGupta of the Firts Gupta dynasty and not the Chandra Gupta Maurya of the Maurya dyansty. Vikramaditya was a real figure who established a new Gupta dynasty which continued until 600 CE. Chandragupta from the 300 BC was a another knewn Emperor of the same dynasty so we might have four to five ChandraGupt Emperors.

There was a confusion about which Chandragupta but was later cleared I guess. Guptas definitely arrived later. Vikramaditya I think had definite battles with outside forces that is Huns.
The confusion was created by Sir William Jones, who was tasked to study the ancient history. He had initially came up with the true details with the help of a pundit Radha Kant, but his study was rejected at the British court since the antiquity was much more than the Christian belief. Sir Jones was then forced to make another “compact” version of Indian history and conveniently created Chandragupta Maurya (omitting the Guptas) as the dynasty ruling Magadha at the time Alexander’s invasion. Sir Jones tried to justify by basing his studies on the records of Megasthenes, which actually never existed as claimed but rather in bits and pieces, later on re-created by a German historian in 19th century based on the accounts of several Greek writers who had taken excerpts from the so called book Indica.

The problem is we had actually four to five Chandragupta Emperors the father of the ChandraGupta from 300 CE , Ghatotchka was actually an Emperor of an declined empire which was later expanded by the ChandraGupta and later by his Grandson ChandraGupta and there is possibility of another ChandrGupta of Uknown origin between the times of the Vikramaditya.

There could be many gupta empire periods first could be during the Greek Invansion. Second could be the foundation of a new Gupta Empire by Vikramaditya and third could be the ChandraGupta during the 300 CE.

Chanakya and VishnuGupta could be different persons from different timeline and who wrote Arthashastra . o_O

Yep that is actually true. The thing is ancient Persian accounts & Greek somehow accurately point out about possible expansion of Achaemenid empire. That included Gandhara & possibilly Punjab too which was considered to be most valuable province of the empire. There are Myths about Cyrus the Great possible invasion into India that got repelled by an unknown Indian king.
In the Battle of Thermopylae Indian contingent was part of top tier of Xerxes armies. There are accounts of Indian soldiers fighting for Darius 3 in battle of Gaugamela vs Alexander.

Another interesting Myth is about Assyrian Queen Semiramis failed invasion into India at the time of a King called Straboborates. Some trace his lineage from Ikshvaku dynasty of lord Ram.
The period after 700 BC -1000 BC is considered dark & their is clear lack of evidence during that period.

Megasthenes, the Greek ambassador in the final years of Chandragupta's court, does not mention Durdhara nor use the name Bindusara, but refers to Chandragupta's successor as Amitrochates, while the Hindu scholar Patanjali calls him Amitraghata (meaning "vanquisher of foes"). Scholars consider the Bindusara of Jain texts to be the same as Amitraghata or totally different.

Haldilal thank you for this. I think this timeline is so important it needs it own new thread so it can reach the future members.

And yes I think this thread needs a clean break from the past. anything pre-2019 was pure garbage which will further confusing any new readers. We can keep that thread as it as and branch a new thread from last 5-10 pages.

Hello Roshan - Please see this. Ashoka was already Buddhist before Kalinga war.

Emperor Asvoka converted during his forth regin. Some says during the first regin. The confusion arises due to no one exactly knews when he rises to the throne.

If you push back the Gupta-Vakataka period, you have to also push back the hephthalites, then also the Sassanians, then the Scythians, Kushans before them. It becomes a cluttered mess.

You have to push back the Gupta script to the time of the Greek invasions, then you have to push back the older archaic Maurya Brahmi script even further which mentions Greeks Buddhist at the frontiers of India, etc. Then you have to push back the Greek kings mentioned in Egypt, M.E., Greece, etc. based on those inscriptions as well. If that's the case then you have to push back the Medians, Persians even further back. Heliodorus the Indo-Greek Hindu would have to be pushed back as well. Which doesnt make sense in your timeline, because the Sungas and Indo-Greeks are of a different timeline with significant gap.

This scenario you mention completely messes up multiple timelines, puts people in positions in the global they should not be, etc. Overlaps empires of different cultural, ethnic groups. If you push back one group, then you have to push back another group who had contact with it, then you have to push back another group that had contact with that group, it just becomes a big mess.

The Greeks never mentioned the real indian names and the history about the Invansion of the Median Empire, Assamedian Empire is lost or delibatery misplaced and ignored, about the Text and script I will post about it some other time in detail.

If you push back the Gupta-Vakataka period to the time of the Greek invasions you're not just pushing them back, but several interconnected peoples and empires. To put it bluntly, it's a big mess.

Greek writers mentioned about a King named amitrochates Megasthenes, the Greek ambassador in the final years of Chandragupta's court, does not mention Durdhara nor use the name Bindusara, but refers to Chandragupta's successor as Amitrochates, while the Hindu scholar Patanjali calls him Amitraghata (meaning "vanquisher of foes") son of ChandraGupta dont knew which chandragupta. Many Scholars consider the Bindusara of Jain texts to be the different as Amitraghata or totally different.

During the 6th millennium BCE Proto-Indo-Europeans lived in the Punjab region of northern India. As the result of demographic expansion, they spread into Bactria as the Kambojas. The Paradas moved further and inhabited the Caspian coast and much of central Asia while the Cinas moved northwards and inhabited the Tarim Basin in northwestern China, forming the Tocharian group of I-E speakers. These groups were Proto-Anatolian and inhabited that region by 2000 BCE. These people took the oldest form of the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) language with them and, while interacting with people of the Anatolian and Balkan region, transformed it into a separate dialect. While inhabiting central Asia they discovered the uses of the horse, which they later sent back to the Urheimat. Later on during their history, they went on to occupy western Europe and thus spread the Indo-European languages to that region.

During the 4th millennium BCE, civilisation in India started evolving into what became the urban Indus Valley Civilization. During this time, the PIE languages evolved to Proto-Indo-Iranian. Some time during this period, the Indo-Iranians began to separate as the result of internal rivalry and conflict, with the Iranians expanding westwards towards Mesopotamia and Persia, these possibly were the Pahlavas. They also expanded into parts of central Asia. By the end of this migration, India was left with the Proto-Indo-Aryans. At the end of the Mature Harappan period, the Sarasvati river began drying up and the remainder of the Indo-Aryans split into separate groups.

Copy Paste :)

Many of records clearly states many generation if kings just omitted. Maurya court at Patna at c. 300 BCE, reported to have heard of a traditional list of 153 kings that covered 6042 years, beyond the traditional beginning of the Kaliyuga in 3102 BCE. The royal lists are based on Sūta bardic traditions, and are derived from lists which were orally transmitted and constantly reshaped.

In August 1995, a gathering of 43 historians and archaeologists from South-Indian universities at the initiative of Prof. K.M. Rao, Dr. N. Mahalingam and Dr. S.D. Kulkarni passed a resolution fixing the date of the Bharata war at 3139–38 BC and declaring this date to be the true sheet anchor of Indian chronology. The Indian civilization must be viewed as an unbroken tradition that goes back to the earliest period of the Sindhu-Sarasvati Culture tradition 7000 or 8000 BCE.

The history of Bharatvarsh which is now called India is the description of the timeless glory of the Divine dignitaries who not only Graced the soils of India with their presence and Divine intelligence, but they also showed and revealed the true path of peace, happiness and the Divine enlightenment for the souls of the world that still is the guideline for in an Productive style.
