Bimbisar is older than Chandragupta Maurya. His title was Samrat or emperor. Vedas and Puranas mention other emperors. Asoka weaponized Buddhism just Constantine weaponized Christianity.
Tf you're sm0king? You need some therapy.
The FIRST FACT is the Mauryas were BLACK - The Mauryas Were of Sudra (INDUS KUSH) Origin - "Mudrarakshasa" - The Signet of the Minister is a historical play in Sanskrit by Vishakhadatta that narrates the ascent of King Chandragupta Maurya (c. 324 - 297 BCE) to power in India. It is dated from the late 4th to the 8th century. In the drama, Chandragupta is mentioned as “Vrishala, Kulahina, Mauryaputra”. From these terms, it is interpreted that Mauryas were of Sudra origin. SUDRA IS THE LOWEST CASTE IN THE ARYAN/HINDU CASTE SYSTEM
Chandragupta Maurya - FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE FALL OF INDUS KUSH, 1500 YEARS EARLIER, India achieved political unity under the Maurya Dynasty of which Chandragupta Maurya was the founder. Justinian describes the story of liberation as follows. “India after the death of Alexander, the natives had shaken the yoke of servitude from its neck and put his governors to death. The author of this liberation was Sandrocottus (Chandragupta).”
H.G. Wells wrote of Ashoka in his book 'The Outline of History': "Amidst the tens of thousands of names of monarchs that crowd the columns of history, their majesties and graciousnesses and serenities and royal highnesses and the like, the name of Ashoka shines, and shines, almost alone, a star"...King Ashoka's visit to the Ramagrama Stupa, Sanchi, Stupa 1 Southern Gateway - HINDUS DO NOT BUILD STUPAS
The reason Ashoka built Stupas atop the ancient Indus Kush cities abandoned after the Aryan invasions around 1750 BCE, USING THE 'SAME BRICKS' FROM THE ANCIENT INDUS KUSH SITE, WAS TO ILLUSTRATE TO FUTURE GENERATIONS, THE CONSONANCE BETWEEN THE TENETS CONVEYED BY, THE BU-UDDHA (One Annointed), AND THOSE OF THE ANCIENT "PEACEMAKERS" OF INDUS KUSH (MEL-UDDHA), THE "LAND WHERE EVERYONE WAS A BU-UDDHA." Their Civilization (in the truest sense of the word) spanned 5600 years, WITHOUT WARS, WEAPONS, KINGS, RICH PEOPLE, OR GODS, 7300-1750 BCE. Check out the "Buddhist Stupa at Mohenjo Daro" renamed Mound of the Dead by Aryan/Hindu invaders. Built by legendary Buddhist King Ashoka, of the Mauryan Empire, c. 268 BCE.
ASHOKA'S EDICTS WERE THE FIRST WRITTEN INSCRIPTIONS IN INDIA SINCE THE ANCIENT CITY OF HARRAPA (INDUS KUSH) FELL TO THE ARYANS 1500 YEARS EARLIER - Ashoka's first edict is the only impressive edict remaining in its original state since most of his other edicts were either dismantled and transported to places of national importance after their discovery or formalized into a national monument. Another rock edict of Ashoka in its original state is situated at Kalsi, near Vikas Nagar in Dehradun.
The Buddhists taught the Aryan/Hindus how to write and then they had the temerity to rename the script 'Brahmi.' The OLDEST Vedic manuscript found in India, the "Dasa Griba Rakshash Charitram Vadha," was found in Kolkata and is dated to 800 CE, almost 1000 years AFTER Ashokas Edicts. The "Bower Manuscript," one of the earliest treatises on Indian medicine, Ayurveda, was discovered near a ruined "Buddhist Monastery" near Kuchar in Chinese Turkestan and is carbon dated to 400-600 CE, Gupta Dynasty.
The Rock Edicts of Ashoka were famous for the messages of love and nonviolence they preached... One of the rock edicts reads as follows, “This progress among the people through Dhamma has been done by two means, by Dhamma regulations, and by persuasion. Of these, Dhamma regulation is of little effect, while persuasion has much more effect. The Dhamma regulations I have given are that various animals must be protected. And I have given many other Dhamma regulations also. But it is by persuasion that progress among the people through Dhamma has had a greater effect regarding harmlessness to living beings and non-killing of living beings...”
The "Primordial Organizing Principle of Civilized Beings" has many names. In Mel-Uddha it was called "Uddha." In Kemit and Kush, it was called "Maat." The Bantu call it "Ubuntu." The people of Sah-Ba (Saaba), and Sah-Gigi (Sumer) called it "Ba-Sah." The Anu-Twa call it "Mwiwi." The Hongshan, Xia, Shang, Xi (Olmec), Maya, and Anu-Sahzi (Anasazi), and Hopi called it "Xi-Shu-Anu. They all convey the same Organizing Principle...
"Collective Empathy for ALL Spirits based on Expanded Perception of the One Law." Knowledge of which is expressed through the "Sacred Science."
We have little time left to avoid planetwide, and Empire-ending cataclysms of our own construction...
Chaunakya could be a mythological man. Just like other characters in vedic religion.
When romans changed their books from greek mythology, so did mauriya. Many gods like krishna are mythology. The real krishna was from naga tribes.
Chanakya is a fictional character.
Then who wrote the Arthashastra?
@@UntoldHistoryYT Arthashastra is a collections of texts authored by many people but attributed to a fictional character known as chanakya.
It is very difficult to know these things with absolute certainty, especially considering we are talking well over two thousand years ago… Thank you for your feedback - hope you enjoyed the video!
lol how can someone be so dululu
@@UntoldHistoryYT Vedic authors were liars, they were not honest in their efforts in discovering the truth. In fact, they cared less about the truth and more about dominating others. e.g. Patanjali reinterpreted Buddha's eightfold path to propagate his own ideas. Ashtawakra Gita also stolen the idea of Buddha that one should abandon the Dharma as well to attain complete salvation. Vedic authors should not be taken seriously as they aren't original thinker but they excel in distorting the history and misleading the mass.
Buddha was fictional..
nope
@@vishalmaurya2961 yes he was fictional.. read your book tripitak
@@amrbinhishamabujahl2959 wow all the things like Ashoak chakra was fictional wow
@@Suraj-lb7gv who told you Ashok Chakkra was related to Buddhism anyhow?
