Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya Date 105 BC or 1538 BC? Evidence

Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya Date 105 BC or 1538 BC? Evidence

At times,when I study the History of India, as narrated by western authors and our home grown secularists I get the impression that Indian history is meticulously crafted, unadulterated fiction, with no regard to facts found in Indian texts. They are prepared to accept the History of India by James Mill as the gospel, which states that Indians were rooted in superstition and that India had no civilisation worth mentioning. The same book claims that the earth is six thousand years old! The gentleman wrote Indian history without ever stepping in the soil of India nor did he refer any texts,either Indian or Foreign classical authors. What a scholarship! And if one were to believe such authors, text books in Indian schools, one would believe that real Indian history began with the Invasion of India by Alexander. I have,with proof, written that it is non sense and traced Indian history from Mahabharatha period to Nanda Dynasty. Such misinformation has caused enormous harm to Indian history and culture. History of India is denied and dates of great kings and dynasties are assigned later dates, if not denying them outright. This is not limited to kings. Great personalities too suffered this fate. Buddha, Kalidasa, Rajput Kings, Tamil kings, to mention a few. So are the ancient literature in Sanskrit and Tamil. In this article, let us examine the Emperor Vikramaditya,after whom one of the three calendars of India are named. Many mistake the son of Samudra Gupta of Maurys Dynasty,Chandra Gupta. He assumed the name of Vikramaditya, who lived around 105 BC and established his Empire in India, Far East and Middle East. He conquered Arabia and established Shiva Linga in Mecca .Evidence of Vikramaditya’s date. ‘A Shaka ruler invaded north-western India and oppressed the Hindus. According to one source, he was a Shudra from the Almanṣūra city; according to another, he was a non-Hindu who came from the west. In 78 CE, the Hindu king Vikramaditya defeated him and killed him in the Karur region, located between Multan and the castle of Loni. The astronomers and other people started using this date as the beginning of a new era.’ -Al Birauni. Since there was a difference of over 130 years between the Vikramaditya era and the Shaka era, Al-Biruni concluded that their founders were two kings with the same name. The Vikramaditya era named after the first, and the Shaka era was associated with the defeat of the Shaka ruler by the second Vikramaditya‘ https://ramanisblog-in.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/ramanisblog.in/2018/11/14/vikramaditya-date-105-bc-evidence/amp/?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a8&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16437837766190&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Framanisblog.in%2F2018%2F11%2F14%2Fvikramaditya-date-105-bc-evidence%2F

Vikramaditya Date from 1538 BCE To 321 BCE William Jones

Vikramaditya Date from 1538 BCE To 321 BCE William Jones

If one were to mistrust the Hindu scriptures, the Nastika System of jainism which denies the authorit of the Vedas, has provided information which tallies with the timeline and events portrayed by the Puranas.



Secondly the Archeological finds disapprove the dates assigned by William Jones and others and show that the events and people had happened/lived much before the dates indicated by them





Our history textbooks tell us that Magadha (not Ayodhya) was one of India’s first kingdoms and that Buddha and Mahavira were contemporaries who lived in/ around Magadha around 600 BCE. However, when we visit the sites of India’s so-called earliest centres of civilization (e.g., Sarnath where the Buddha preached his first sermon), we see evidence from the Jain tradition that its earlier Tirthankaras8 were already living in that city hundreds of years ago.9 On top of this, the Jains appear to share the same hoary past as the Hindus do, with their first Tirthankara (Rishabhadeva) believed to be the king of Ayodhya more than 20 generations before Mahavira.

In addition to the Jain tradition, the history preserved in our native chronicles – the Puranas – appears to have some support from archaeology as well. Although most of the sites described in the Puranas are now populated and hence cannot be excavated, the few non-inhabited sites (e.g., Dwaraka) exhibit evidence of ancient civilizations. This begs the question as to whether we should truly discard the traditions preserved in India’s native chronicles or take the trouble to re-examine them in a new light. This essay presents the chronology of India as preserved by its native historians and tests the validity of this chronology when compared to independent accounts of ancient India.

The accepted chronology of ancient India is based on William Jones’s identification of Sandrocottus with Chandragupta Maurya, the first king of the Mauryan empire. This identification serves as the basis for determining the era of Buddha, the dates of the subsequent kings of Magadha and of other kingdoms of India. According to this chronology, Chandragupta Maurya ascended the throne of Magadha around 315 BCE. However, the Puranas as well as Megasthenes’s account of the milieu he lived in present a compelling case for debunking this identification and associating Sandrocottus with Chandragupta I, the founder of the Imperial Guptas. According to the Puranas, Chandragupta Maurya was crowned in 1538 BCE, Ashoka was crowned in 1489 BCE, and Chandragupta I ascended the throne of Pataliputra around 315 BCE in time to be the monarch referred to as Sandrocottus when Megasthenes arrived in Pataliputra in 302 BCE.Indian history is so muddled up by some western Scholars and homegrown Liberal historians of India (?) One is fed a series of lies and misinformation.This has resulted in Indian history remains mired in controversy.If we take the trouble to read Indian texts in Sanskrit and other Languages of India, like Tamil, Telugu and others we shall what real history is.And cross reference the information with Epigraphs in Sanskrit, Brahmi ( Sanskrit Brahmi, Tamil/ Kannada Brahmi):check Sthala puranas of temples;Read inscriptions found in ancient Archelogical sites both in India and abroad;read Ithihasas, Ramayana, Mahabharata; Eighteen Purans.

You will know what I am talking about. In addition, check ancient classic writers from foreign countries like Strabo,Arrian and others. Also refer researched by Russians.You shall know how ancient Indian history is.

Sanatana Dharma and Tamil run parallel. One compliments the other by corroborating statements of each other.

I have been exploring Indian history Sanatan Dharma and Tamil/s History for the past twelve years and sharing information I have found, through this blog.You shall find many dates of Kings,Events updated.

The so-called scholars get exposed when we scrutinize their statements. Megasthanes

Chandra Gupta and Megasthanes Never Met, History Faked Evidence

Chandra Gupta and Megasthanes Never Met, History Faked Evidence

How does one start a Nation’s History?

What does one base it on?

Common sense would tell you to refer to the legends,literature of the Nation, check with contemporary event,s then cross check it with references , if any, if these literature is contemporary or slightly later.

Can you imagine a Nation,s History being started solely on the basis of a Character, who has not even met the man he is quoted to have met!

Well, this is what has happened to Indian History.

Of Chandra Gupta Maurya.

The man whose testimony is relied upon is Megasthanes.

Megasthanes included, interpolated Greek Gods and Goddesses( read my post on how History invented Greek Gods).

These were later based upon along with the other names in Greek , presumably Indian, was linked to Chandra Gupta.

Megasthenes has nowhere mentioned the word Maurya

He makes absolutely no mention of a person called either Chanakya or Kautilya.

Indian historians have recorded two Chandra guptas, one of the Maurya dynasty and another of the Gupta dynasty. Both of them had a grandson called Ashoka. While the Mauryan Chandragupta’ s son was called Bimbasara (sometimes Bindusara), The Gupta Chandragupta had a son called Samudragupta. Interestingly Megasthenese has written that Sandrakuttos had a son called Samdrakyptos, which is phonetically nearer to Samudragupta and not Bindusara.

The king lists given by the Puranas say that 1500 years elapsed from the time of the Kurukshetra war to the beginning of the Nanda dynasty’s rule. If one assumes the Nandas’ period to be 5th century BCE, this would put the Bharatha war around 1900 BCE whereas the traditional view has always been 3100 BCE. This gives a difference of 1200 years which go unaccounted.



Megasthanese himself says 137 generations of kings have come and gone between Krishna and Sandrakuttos, whereas the puranas give around 83 generations only between Jarasandha’s son (Krishna’s contemporary) to the Nandas of the Magadha kingdom.. Assuming an average of 20 to 25 years per generation, the difference of 54 generations would account for the gap of the 1200 years till the time of Alexander.

The Chinese have always maintained that Buddhism came to China from India around 1100 -1200 BCE, whereas the western historians tend to put Buddha at 500 BCE

According to the Greek accounts, Xandrammes was deposed by Sandrokottas and Sandrocyptus was the son of Sandrokottas. In the case of Chandragupta Maurya, he had opposed Dhanananda of the Nanda dynasty and the name of his son was Bindusara. Both these names, Dhanananda and Bindusara, have no phonetic similarity with the names Xandrammes and Sandrocyptus of the Greek accounts.

Asoka’s empire was bigger than that of Chandragupta Maurya nd he had sent missionaries to the so-called Yavana countries. But both of them are not mentioned. Colebrook has pointed out that the Greek writers did not say anything about the Buddhist Bhikkus though that was the flourishing religion of that time with the royal patronage of Asoka. Roychaudhari also wonders why the Greek accounts are silent on Buddhism.

The empire of Chandragupta was known as Magadha empire. It had a long history even at the time of Chandragupta Maurya. In Indian literature, this powerful empire is amply described by this name but it is absent in the Greek accounts. It is difficult to understand as to why Megasthanese did not use this name and instead used the word Prassi which has no equivalent or counterpart in Indian accounts.

To decide as to whether Pataliputra was the capital of the Mauryas, Puranas is the only source. Puranas inform us that all the eight dynasties that ruled Magadha after the Mahabharata War had Girivraja as their capital. Mauryas are listed as one of the eight dynasties. The name Pataliputra is not even hinted at, anywhere in the Puranas.

In the Greek accounts, Sandrokottas of Palimbothra is described as a contemporary of

How Why and By Whom Aryan Invasion Theory Was Planted

How Why and By Whom Aryan Invasion Theory Was Planted

The British came up with the concept of the Aryan Invasion of India which spread culture and civilized thought to India and that until then Indians were uncivilized barbarians. Hence, again, the civilization described in these texts, which seemed to be more advanced in science, technology, culture, philosophy and linguistics could not have existed prior to the Aryan Invasion and hence the texts are mythical. The Aryan Invasion has now been dismissed by the Western historians as a figment of concoction by the British to justify their occupation of India as a rightful occupier of this Indian territory and beneficiary of its natural resources by painting the Indians themselves as belonging to the Aryan race in reality who had invaded and settled in India and set aside the original inhabitant Dravidian race as lower castes. This Aryan – Dravidian classification has now been proven to be racially incorrect as the entire Indian population has been found to belong to the same race despite their differences in features and complexion. Also the study of traditional Indian text has thrown to light how the terminologies Aryan and Dravidian were based on geographical division and not racial, cultural or civilizational. Thus this premise of Mr.Mill & Mr. Grant also seems to be flawed. https://ramanisblog-in.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/ramanisblog.in/2015/01/11/how-indian-history-was-distorted-the-first-history-of-india/amp/?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a8&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16431755010015&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Framanisblog.in%2F2015%2F01%2F11%2Fhow-indian-history-was-distorted-the-first-history-of-india%2F

Who Wrote the First History of India,How Distorted Is It?

Who Wrote the First History of India,How Distorted Is It?

British rule of India has made Indians doubt their own culture, civilisation. Seemingly well qualified scientists and others dismiss India’s rich culture, History and the icons of India, Rama, Krishna,Shiva, despite being presented with astronomical archeological evidence. Such is the entrenched misinformation by the British in their about 350  years of Rule of India. If one were to look for information on India and Hinduism, references pop up written by Western Authors, most of them self-proclaimed Missionaries, starting from Robert De Nobili of Tamil Nadu, Bishop Caldwell, Max Mueller, right to our secular educated Indians. Indian sources do not get any importance at all nor were they available in one place. You find only westwern authors books as ‘Auhentic source” Just who stated this whole business of rewriting Indian Histroy? And who wrote this First Indian History ? It was by James Mill who wrote the First Book, ‘History of British India’ in  1806. ( His son John Stuart Mill was a great Western Philosopher) “James Mill began his History of British India in 1806, expecting it to take him about three years, but its completion proved to take instead twelve years, with three substantial volumes at last being published early in 1817. The work was immediately successful among British imperialists and secured for Mill for the first time a degree of prosperity. It led, with the support of David Ricardo andJoseph Hume, to Mill’s appointment in 1819 in United_Kingdom as assistant (later chief) examiner of correspondence at the imperialEast India Company at an annual salary of £800. By 1836, when he died, this income had become £2,000”   The book begins with a preface in which Mill tries to make a virtue of having never visited India and of knowing none of its native languages. To him, these are guarantees of his objectivity, and he boldly claims – A duly qualified man can obtain more knowledge of India in one year in his closet in England than he could obtain during the course of the longest life, by the use of his eyes and ears in India. However, Mill goes on in this preface to say that his work is a “critical, or judging history”, encompassing singularly harsh attacks on Hindu customs and a “backward” culture which he claims to be notable only for superstition, ignorance, and the mistreatment of women. From the historical perspective, Mill tells the story of the English and, later, British acquisition of wide territories in India, severely criticizing those involved in these conquests and in the later administration of the conquered territories, as well as illuminating the harmful effects of commercial monopolies such as that of the imperial East India Company.[3] As a philosopher, Mill applies political theory to the description of the civilizations of India. His interest is in institutions, ideas, and historical processes, while his work is relatively lacking in human interest, in that he does not seek to paint memorable portraits of Robert Clive, Warren Hastings, and the other leading players in the history of British India, nor of its famous battles.[1] Indeed, the History has been called “…a work of Benthamite ‘philosophical history’ from which the reader is supposed to draw lessons about human nature, reason and religion”.[6] Despite the fact that Mill had never been to India, his work had a profound effect on the British imperial system of governing the country, as did his later official connection with India” James Mill & Mr. Charles Grant from Helebary College, wrote History of India and classified most of the literature of India as Mythological.. And the grounds for calling Indian History as Mythology. ” The events in these texts seemed to go before the date of creation of the earth as fixed by Father. James Usher as 9 AM, 23rd Oct, 4004 BCE. Hence these texts which describe India and the existence of its civilization prior to this time could not be real https://ramanisblog-in.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s

Pallavas From Puru Dynasty Cousins of Chozhas

Pallavas From Puru Dynasty Cousins of Chozhas

When I search for the lineage of Kings from South of Vindhyas, i come across information that is startling in terms of its historic value and also how the records in the South in the form of Epigraphs agree with records found in Puran, Ramayana and Mahabharata: and Harivamsa of Kalidasa and Rajatharangini of Kalhana.

I had traced the genealogy of Cholas to Ikshvaku. In the process I was able to identify the Chola Kings of Treta Yug , Dwapara and Kaliyug. I shall be tracing the genealogy y Pandyas and Cheras shortly.

We have more dynasties in South which are ancient. One of them is the Pallava Dynasty to which Mahendra and Mamalla/ Narasimha Pallava belong.These are the kings who have built the wonder that is Mahabalipuram Cave temples.

It is believed that Simha Vishnu founded this dynasty.

Fact is that the Pallava Dynasty was founded by Marutta.( Turvasu Dynasty) ‘Marutta adopted Duṣyanta as his son because Maruttaa had no sons. ( Dushyant a was a King of the Pūru dynasty, .(Bhāgavata, 9th Skandha,) Dushyant’s son was Bharath’ after whom India is named as Bharat.

Marutta(2) gave his daughter to Dushyanta Paurava and She begot Sarutta who succeeded his maternal Grandfather.

Daughter of Marutta raised her son Sarutta who became the king of Sindhu Kingdom.

Kulya (Prince of Andhra and whose descendants were Pallavas and Tondai Kings), Chola (Founder of Chola Kingdom and Dynasty), Pandya (Founder of Pandya Kingdom and Dynasty), Kerala (Whose descendants were Cheras) – Because of these kings Dravida Country (Tamil and Sanskrit are the two eyes of this country) was developed.

In his family was born Dushyanta; his son was Bharata and his son was Chola after whose name the Solar race on this earth became known as Chola’ Thiruvalankadu Copperplates

Turvasu’s (the second son of King Yayati) descendants were called Mlecchas (who ruled in Balochisthan) as per Srimad Bagavatha Mahapurana and Dravidas (who ruled in South India). The following kings were the disciples of Sage Agastya (Developed Tamil language and created Kaveri River with the help of Lord Ganesha). He ruled Southern side of Bharatkhand.

This is not mine . A gist of what Macaulay spoke in the British Parliament about the introduction of English as a medium of instruction in India. We have people like Max Mueller who were planted by the Church to destroy the Sanatana Dharma from within. Read my posts on these subjects. Indian History, as I was taught some 45 years ago was thus. There was Vedas ,ancient texts, they were concerned with Religion, many gods were worshiped, There were Mythologies of Ramayana and Mahabharata, Rama and Krishna who were worshiped as Gods. The Vedas and Puranas were oppressive. Then Buddha came along. Aryans invaded through the Khyber Pass. Alexander Invasion of India, he defeated Indian Kings and signed a treaty with Porus, forgiving him. Appointed Seleucus. Then there was Chandra Gupta Maurya and His dynasty. It goes on up to Harshavardhana. There is a gap of about 200 to 300 years. Then Kanishka. Later Mughals and the British.What is wrong with this? 1.Vedas have been brushed as Religious texts, with no details about the high scientific and technical skills they possessed. 2.No mention of the Vedic empires. 3.There is a gap of about 300 years between Panini and Daruis. 4.No mention of the Tamil and Southern Kingdoms which existed around the early Vedic age. 5.Ramayana and Mahabharata were facts and not Fables, while Bible ,Christianity, Islam and the prophet were given the status of History. 6.No mention of Sanskrit and Tamil, the two earliest languages of civilization. 7.While there is mention of Alberoni, Fahien, Huansuang, there is no mention of courtiers sent from India abroad. 8.Again there is a gap of about 200 years from Fahien in 400 AD to 600 AD when Harshavardhana came to power. 9.From 800 AD to 1500 AD no mention of Indian History in detail regarding the South Indian Kings and their empires. 10.No mention of Indian empire having been extended to South Asia during the entire History of India excepting bland statements that Indians had commercial contacts with Rome, and Some Tamil Kings conquered some portions of Indonesia,. 11.No mention of the great Floods in Souh India which triggered off migration to Europe ans rest of the world from India. And that was how the early settlements in these areas began 12.Ashoka is reported to be first King to have established contacts with Sri Lanka by sending his daughter/son, omitting the Tamil connection which was earlier by about 1000 years. I am providing information which is slightly better than what we were taught from the link I have provided below. The gaps in the improved version is also glaring. Less said about the western scholarship(?) the better. I shall be writing on the hidden History of India with evidence for these periods. Two technics were adopted in burying our culture. One is suppression of Facts and evidence, as in archeological finds and Tamil History. Second is wilful misinterpretation of facts as Max Mueller did. Readers may contribute with evidence. https://ramanisblog-in.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/ramanisblog.in/2015/05/30/what-is-wrong-with-indian-history-this/amp/?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a8&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16431628798383&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Framanisblog.in%2F2015%2F05%2F30%2Fwhat-is-wrong-with-indian-history-this%2F
