  2. Really Interesting.

    How did you come come up with something like a date of 7200 BC?

    7200BC Rig Veda Hyms collected and Organized.

    Is there a inscription for that? if so is that carbon dated to 7200 BC?

  5. As per King Ashoka's inscriptions, Mauryan empire was somewhere around 5th century BC. You might want to correct that.

  6. Adi Shankara was born in 500BC.

    And you forgot to mention the greatest king of Sapt Sindhu, Chakravartin Samrat Bharata!

    His empire included most of south asia & central asia.

    1. Mayb 500 BC is right.I think he lived much earlier.Dont forget that History was badly faked by the british as part of the divide and rule agenda bringing up different groups against each other. Why do you think was it possible for a few british to rule so long? In a united India the british would have been kicked out with the weapons of sticks and stones only!

  9. Fa Hien was said to have met Chandra Gupta II in the 4-5th century CE. But according to Puranaic account Gupta period was in 4th Century BCE. How to resolve this issue?

    1. Fahein did not meet Chandragupta, He told that a thousand years before him, there ruled a king chandragupta. What you have is misconception. Infact Fahien tells that the capital Pataliputra is in shambles

  10. Fahien didn't mention about chandragupta 2 anywhere in his account

  11. The upanishads mention that in satyug every body used to do agnihotras, and the basic need to do yajna is veda, so how can you put emergence of veda in treta?

    1. Vedas are immemorial, I have not put date to vedas, it is only collection and organisation
