Were Ancient Vaishya Kings better than Kshatriya Kings

The Gupta Empire

The Empire of Harsha

The image of the Empire of Harsha as shown, I am afraid is a wrong one. According to several Historians including R.C Mazumder, Harsha's western boundary never extended beyond East Punjab. Though some believe that he annexed Sindh, it is highly unlikely because as per Hiuen Tsang Sindh was an independent and powerful sovereignty at that time.

I believe he did rule East Punjab though?

According to N R Ray, his authority was extended up to Jullander. Rest of the historians like Smith, Panikkar or R K Mukherjee believe that he certainly ruled part of Punjab.

It's accepted fact that he was Vaishya.

Harsha empire never ruled any part of Pakistan.

Practically all of the large economically powerful imperial Indian empires were from Eastern India.

NW was constantly being harassed, and not doing nothing about it.

A good source is the book "Early Medieval Indian Society" which was written by the eminent historian R.S.Sharma.
Sharma states that the Gupta Dynasty was a Vaishya Dynasty.

Lanti don't lie, Harsha was indeed retarded bania. But Maurya was ancient punjabi kshatriya, you know those who now days are known as punjabi sheikh/khatri. Hindu punjabi have explained in detail. Unfortunatly hindu punjabis are just few million in numbers, majority are muslims and sikhs who don't care about these things.

But i will always take punjabi hindu word over some aborginal from Bihar.

Funny, because Eastern India was pretty much the nucleus of Indian civilization for a LONG time. That includes "retarded" Bihar. Cultural elements were pulsing out of Bihar area into other parts of India, then from India to SE Asia, etc.

I think Tamils had the most influence in SE Asia.

well do you know the onlireason why hem chandar lost to forces of akbar was because rajpots supported a non inidan over a Baniya from rewari in current haryana

and most muslims make fun of baniyas cause they know given a chance baniyas will be very difficultto handle and its started with hemu

look today most of the competitive exams most toppers and biggest number of "genral catogarry candidates to pass are infact baniyas"

kshatriyas alaways truled deu to there so alled "gos given right" while vaish banias ruled to serve the nation and proove there manging skills

here today i saw a pakistani boasting about harsha and aid thet he was a punjabi when he forgot he too was a hindu baniya

ppl hated baniyas from ancient times

It is just an assumption.
