Home...

I initially started with the Maratha Empire so the first maps didn't come out as good as the latter ones.

They were Buddhists till 500AD before being conquered by Huns and then Islamists. Shakuni from the Mahabharata was from Gandhahar

I always wondered how this map makers of historical empires decided where the actual borders were. Did you research books? Just copy other older maps?

There is a lot of offline literature I found in libraries. A lot of them were those old-style maps you find in black-and-white textbooks that don't look as good and I wasn't allowed to just copy-paste maps from other sources so I decided to use them as references to make my own.

Faded away after Abbasid Caliphate. They were Buddhists and Pagans. I guess you can still find some local pagans there.

Definitely improved in the later maps. Very cool user

>I guess you can still find some local pagans there.
So like, the Kalasha people? Or Kashmiri Hindus (Pandits)?

Principalities of Orissa are complicated

Great work user

>Kashmir
Lmao

Nice work man.

Amazing work OP

Yes, thanks... I'm there now

>Kashmiri Hindus
Yes, Kashmiri Buddhists went extinct a long time ago.

Haha yes "extinct"

I guess the Kashmiri applied their whole faith into the ways of the religion of peace to get Buddhists extinct.

Buddhists are not on us. They are on Pandits if anything, there percentage had started declining long before (first Muslims arrived in 754 AD)

do this one

>tfw Buddhists and jains were genocided in south india by Shaivites and nobody remembers it.
They weren't even given choices to convert like in the north.

Wtf, I'm pretty sure Shaivits didn't force buddhists to convert. Isn't indian dharma supposed to be peaceful?

Buddhists started declining under Mihirakula
Was reading this right now
archive.org/stream/ReligionsOfAncientKashmirACaseStudyOfBuddhism./Religions of Ancient Kashmir, A case study of Buddhism._djvu.txt

>I'm pretty sure Shaivits didn't force buddhists to convert
They didn't. They straight up chased the Buddhists and jains into monasteries and slaughtered them en masse. They were given a chance to convert to Shaivism Or they were all made to do penance by sitting their bare ass on wooden stakes.

This is depicted on the walls on several famous temples in Tamil Nadu. Even I've seen it, it's a brutal part of history that people forget thanks to Muslims invading north india.

Buddhist and Hindus fought a 45 year war in Sri Lanka.
For some reason non of them are peacefull, at all.

India and Sri Lanka and even the two Pakistans would be way better off without religion!
But, it might be without religious conflicts there will be parties looking to win on race or skin colour tickets.

Have an unpopular (in Kashmir) opinion that Kashmiri should be taught in schools with the original Sharda script. The script should be revived.

lmao any religion claiming to be peaceful is full of shit you dont get converts by having friendly chats

Jainism is literally a suicide cult of peace.

Are vaishnavites also this savage?

It's some 300 AD M8, most were savages

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impalement_of_the_Jains_in_Madurai
Dont have the pictures of sculptures depicting these events. But this is how the Cholas found the patronage of brahmins in the 8th century before they rose to power.

Nah Vaishnavites are pastoral peaceful people. 3/4th of India today is Vaishnavite.

It's also the same 3/4th that was ruled by Muslims from 1100-1600 AD so theres that kek

I think India should go towards standardizing things important to a nation.

-A single adminstrative language that should also be the first language learned in the houshold. It It should be the language for Schools, Media, Job. Could be achieved in 25 years of time.
It should be a language not spoken by the neighbouring states. So "Bollywood speak" is basically a nono.

>Isn't indian dharma supposed to be peaceful?
Dharma is duty. No Dharma is peaceful even Buddhist or Jain.

>A single adminstrative language that should also be the first language learned in the houshold.
Look at this gora and laugh

Your language is your homecountry.
It's important to form a nationstate.

>A single adminstrative language that should also be the first language learned in the houshold.
For most of the country its hindi

This nigga serious
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ok going to reply seriously
Only language which will work without the bloodshed involved is English desu

Didn't the Hunas fall quickly too?
