Who was Kanishka? Was Kanishka really an Indian king, or was he a foreign ruler from Central Asia? In this video, we uncover the complete history of Kanishka, the Kushan Empire, the Silk Route, Ancient India, Buddhism, and the geopolitical struggle between India, China, and Rome. Discover how Emperor Kanishka built one of the greatest empires in Asian history and why historians still debate his legacy. This documentary explores the real history of Kanishka, Kushan Empire, Silk Road trade, Mahayana Buddhism, Ancient Indian history, Central Asian history, Chinese Han Dynasty, Pataliputra, Mathura, Taxila, Rabatak Inscription, Ashvaghosha, Buddhist Council, and the expansion of Buddhism across Asia. Learn how trade, politics, religion, and military strategy shaped one of history's most powerful empires. Many history books describe Kanishka as one of India's greatest rulers, but archaeological evidence, inscriptions, coins, and historical sources reveal a far more complex story. This video examines the migration of the Yuezhi tribe, the rise of the Kushans, the conquest of northern India, the Silk Route economy, and Kanishka's conflicts with the Han Empire of China. We also explore how Kanishka used Buddhism, trade networks, diplomacy, and military campaigns to consolidate power across Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. From the Fourth Buddhist Council to the spread of Mahayana Buddhism, this documentary explains how one emperor reshaped Asian history.
