Well history is not something I was good at besides pre exam mugging. But the Mauryan empire covered the whole of modern Afghanistan.
I know some Maharaja invaded Afghanistan recently as well.
That's 2 I know of.
Its pretty obvious Afghanistan was under Indic rule and control for vast swathes of time by the presence of Buddhist statues and caves there no? The ones which were blown up?
Mauryan -- did the Mauryan empire span Bactria -- I don't think so
Buddhism -- I don't think spread to Afghan by conquest -- but could be wrong on this point
Recent invasions by the Sikhs again never spanned Bactria
For people to have invaded and controlled Afghanistan the standard people use is if they controlled historical Bactria.
For example Babur, Temur and Alexander controlled all of historical Bactria (from what I know)
I propose either mergin Afghanistan and Pakistan back into India, along with Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka
OR
An EU type of economic bloc with a single currency, separate armies and laws and governements.
Why not merge Pakistan into Iran and Turkey -- we get to retain our Muslim culture
you can have Afghanistan lol
