Line 373: ::::::{{Tq|"Trans-Indus Region and from there he headed towards northwards, reached Bactria, where perhaps he had a battle with the Hunas on the Oxus. This view remarkably tallies with Kalidasa's account of Raghu's conquest of the north. His description seems to based on a historical background and he seems to have combined the conquests of Samudragupta and Chandragupta II into that of the legendary Raghu."}} [[User:Malik-Al-Hind|Malik-Al-Hind]] ([[User talk:Malik-Al-Hind|talk]]) 15:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC) :::::::Yes it is "rocket science" because this quote in no way supports the above claim - the only part that would maybe do so is "perhaps had a battle with the Hunas on the Oxus", but it does not claim this battle was won and uses the word ''perhaps''. If you would be so kind as to provide further great evidence that accurately and fully supports this claim, you are welcome to do so. I originally supported the "anti-deletion" side of this debate as these sources which stated the larger extent of the Guptas seemed at first to be reliable, however I have now yet to see that the sources actually support the claim. [[User:Flemmish Nietzsche|Flemmish Nietzsche]] ([[User talk:Flemmish Nietzsche|talk]]) 15:49, 7 May 2024 (UTC) ::::::::First of all the topic thread was about whether Guptas ended upto Sindh or not. And obviously about the map of the Gupta Empire, Since @[[User:Based Kashmiri|Based Kashmiri]] already provided sources stating that Gupta rule indeed extended upto Sindh while the current map of Guptas is well sourced and accurate and shouldn't be replaced with a map which is from a YouTube video, This topic thread should have already been closed. However, History of Iran then jumps in to change the topic, Just to defend DeepstoneV's disruptive edits on this page. Still I'd like to extend it further by providing more sources for Guptas defeated hunas, Kambojas and Persians. {{Tq|The account of the conquest of the North-Western region by Raghu is consonant with and supports our suggestion. According to Kalidasa, Persia could have been reached by a sea-route, but Raghu discarded it. He went by the land-rout and defeated the Persians in a fierce fighting. Thereafter, he moved northwards and vanquished the Hunas on the banks of the river Oxus. Then came the turn of the Kambojas who were unable to resist his valour and accepted his overlordship.}} - History of Imperial Guptas by SR Goyal pg 218-219 {{Tq|The poetbegins his account of the north-western campaign of Raghu bystating that he set out to conquer the Persians (Parasikas) This shows that the primary object of Raghu was to crush the Parasikas. But after defeating them somewhere near Begram andconquering the adjoining regions it became imperative for the conqueror to proceed right north and pounce upon the Hunason the Oxus. This proves that the association of the Hunas withthe Parasikas were so close that without conquering them thevictory over the latter was quite meaningless. - Studies in Indian History And Civilization by Buddh Prakash pg-323 {{Tq|Just after defeating the Hunas on the Oxus Raghu conquered the Kambojas. As will be shown later, the Kambojas occupied the Badakhshan}} - Studies in Indian History And Civilization by Buddh Prakash pg-346. {{Tq|Chandragupta II undertook an expedition across Vahlika (Balkh?). R.K. Mookerji asserts that Chandragupta II crossed the Sindhu (Indus) and its tributary rivers (the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej rivers). This expedition was directed probably against the Huns or the Sassanids. Another objective of this campaign was to get access to the Central Asian and Afghanistan horses.}} - Warfare in pre British India by Kaushik Roy p-57.[[User:Malik-Al-Hind|Malik-Al-Hind]] ([[User talk:Malik-Al-Hind|talk]]) 20:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
