By the mid-5th century, the Gupta Empire—renowned for its advances in science, mathematics, and culture—faced an existential threat from the Huns. This episode examines the military campaigns of Skandagupta, who repelled the first Hun invasions, and the later collapse under Toramana and Mihirakula. We trace the Hun leader Toramana's conquests through the Eran boar inscription, the eventual sacking of cities like Pataliputra, and the fragmentation of Gupta authority into regional kingdoms. Discover how the Huns, initially pushed back by Skandagupta's defenses at the Bhitari pillar inscription, returned to exploit internal succession disputes. We also explore the lesser-known Kidarite Huns and their impact on Gupta trade routes, and how the Hun invasion permanently shifted the balance of power in northern India, paving the way for the Vardhana dynasty under Harsha. This is the story of an empire's last stand and the dawn of a new era. #GuptaEmpire #Skandagupta #HunInvasion #Toramana #Mihirakula #AlchonHuns #Kidarites #BhitariPillar #EranBoar #Pataliputra #Harsha #VardhanaDynasty #GoldCoins #GuptaDecline #AncientIndia #History #FexingoHistory #IndianHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
