The only South Asians to defeat the Greeks-Mauryas

[terro]

How when both Chanakya and Maurya were actually punjabis just like rig vedic people who ruled bhaiyas in jungles of Bihar.

Other literary traditions imply that Chandragupta was raised by peacock tamers, which earned him the Maurya name, Buddhist and Jain traditions attest the connection between the Moriya (Maurya) and Mora, or Mayura (Peacock). While Buddhist tradition describes him as the son of the chief of the peacock clan (Moriya kshatriya), Jain tradition refers to him as the maternal grandson of the headman of the village of peacock tamers (Moraposaga). This view suggests a humble background for Chandragupta; the same tradition also describes Nanda as the son of a barber and a courtesan. According to some scholars, there is strong evidence connecting the Mauryas with peacocks. The pillar of Ashoka in Nandangarh has the figure of a peacock (repeated in many sculptures of Ashoka at Sanchi) on its bottom.According to Turnour, Buddhist tradition also attests a connection between Moriya and Mora (or Mayura, or peacock).Aeolian informs us that tame peacocks were kept in the parks of the Maurya palace at Pataliputra. Scholars such as Foucher do not regard these birds as a symbol of the Maurya dynasty, preferring to imagine an allusion to the Mora Jataka. In addition to peacocks, other birds (such as pheasants and parrots) and a variety of fishes were also kept in the parks and pools of the Mauryas.

Proud hindu when he never called himself one, he was pure follower of Rig Vedic religion not ganga shanga bs.

BS he was a decedent of purus one ancient kingdom in india he was hindu a kshatriya by varna system prescribed in rig veda itself

What were you his concubine that you know what Porus called himself as such??? You're talking as if Porus himself whispered this sweet nothing of a secret in your ear...

Delusions Galore!!

Also, the religion he followed may have been Hinduism (probably not modern hindusim but some precursor of it) most probably (cannot be definitive) as Buddism was promoted mainly after the reign of the Mauryas....

Hindu term is modern invention for ganga hinduism, one have to be retardly stupid to believe that these ancient Pakistanis called them selfves hindus.

No offence but what sucess and power? Small country like Pakistan always give middle fimger to your kin.



Lol

Now chanakya was born in South India hahahah

Koi hal nai bc tumari nasal ka, no self respect. Maurya was just a name, jungli aborginal with maurya surname in bihar does not mean anything. I hope you are intelligent enough to understand that?

What middle finger LOL, we have ruled you people like ants and you have not

Guru Gobind Singh was punjabi khatri, how the **** he was Bihari lol I will give you a hint, Imran Khan is punjabi or pashtun? He may have been born in Punjab but he is 100% racially pashtun. And khatris even now in India don't mix with anyone.

Forgot about Imran Khan since he does not speak pashto. Abdali was born in Multan, does it make him punjabi?

You guys are hilarious.

Listen little buddy....you have a lot to learn, and Im going to be patient with you....Guru Gobind Singh is said to be born in Patna, Bihar. Learn to do your homework!

Sikhism is not exclusive to Punjabis...
Most Punjabis may be Sikh, but NOT all Sikhs are Punjabis!!

Pakistanis love Iskandar e Azam

He is the hero in Punjab

Actually people in this region love sikandar zolqarnain who is mentioned in Quran, who has nothing to do with greek kafir alexandar.

 

[Multani]

dont say all. lot of people in rural areas who are illiterate have misconception that he was muslim or that he was zul qarnain. if they find out this is false, and that he was pagan, respect will vanish. otherwise, what is difference between hulaku khan and sikandar? both were great conquerors, mass murderers and polytheists. thats why i say the most important single issue of Pakistan is education, esp. of the rural masses (majority), as lot of stupid ideas and being misled by bhangi fake pirs is cause of this.

Thank you for admitting that in general Iskandar e Azam is a respected and loved personality all over Pakistan. its not misconception. It is stated as a possibilty. Why? Because he is respected and loved by Pakistanis.

Why:? Because he is a just king, and had principles, and studied under Aristotle. and gave so many benefits like greek medicine and cultural uplifment and exhange. He was a warrior and egalitarian philanthropist

You did great injustice comparing halaku khan to iskandar e azam.

halaku khan was NOT a man of morals.

I believe in logical explantion, Chanakya was born in Punjab. He was teacher in Taxila, there is also another source which says he was born in Mianwali, Punjab. He chose Maurya to groom him so he shall become king one day, its clear Chanakya will chose someone who is punjabi instead of bhaiya from Bihar.

Ofcourse after couple of thousand years we rather believe in illogical stories right?

What I can definitely tell you is that they weren't Muslim and they definitely didnt call themselves Pakistani....
So any connection you're trying to conjure up with those "ancient people" is hanging by a thread...

All of your ancestors are probably closer to Hindus and maybe Buddhist in their cultures and traditions than the people that live there in the current era....

Iskander is not mentioned in Qur'an Kareem.

People in Pakistan love Sikandar e Azam, and name their children after him. Because they love him, they give tashbih to him by saying he "could be" the just king mentioned in the Qur'an Kareem, Hazrat Dhul Qarnayn. And Islamic scholars do the same.

Most people in rural areas believe Sikander Azam was muslim.

Back then the Biharis were the most powerful people of South Asia. They were advanced in the field of science, military and politics.

Biharis are actually one of the smartest races of people in India...Its their lack of education that has set them backwards...

Does it matter? The connection is with land and its people, not names. Ancient Pakistanis are ancestors of today Pakistanis.

Lol, again Chanakaya was a teacher at Taxila, doesn't mean he is a native. Every ancient source including the Greeks have Chandragupta as Eastern Indian in origin. If he was Punjabi then why was his capital in Bihar? No one in the world has ever claimed as Punjabi, have some shame.

So all the ancient sources on the origins of Chandragupta Maurya can go for a toss because you believe so that he was a Punjabi Have some shame Shan

BTW Maurya was not just a name it's a Kshatriya caste .
