	Raghuvamsha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Curiously, the explicit reference to the Hepthalites seems to lend credence that Kalidasa lived and prospered in the 4th and 5th centuries AD during the rule of Chandragupta Vikramaditya and Kumaragupta, rather than in the 1st century BC.
		The Hepthalites were implacable enemies of the Imperial Guptas during this era, and were strong enough to launch dangerous invasions and even killed the Sassanian king Peroz I in the 5th century.
		The barbaric Hepthalites would have to have merited considerable importance to appear in Kalidasa's work, which makes it all the more likely that he lived during the era they were most active, placing him in the 4th-5th centuries.

	Pre-Islamic period of Afghanistan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Hepthalites (or White Huns) swept out of Central Asia around the fourth century into Bactria and to the south, overwhelming the last of the Kushan and Sassanian kingdoms.
		By the middle of the sixth century the Hepthalites were defeated in the territories north of the Amu Darya (the Oxus River of antiquity) by another group of Central Asian nomads, the Gokturks, and by the resurgent Sassanians in the lands south of the Amu Darya.
		It was the ruler of western Gokturks, Sijin (aka Sinjibu, Silzibul and Yandu Muchu Khan) who led the forces against the Hepthalites who were defeated at the Battle of Chach ( Tashkent) and at the Battle of Bukhara.

		In 484, for example, the Hepthalites invaded the empire from the east, killing the king.

		With the help of the Turks he crushed the Hepthalites sometime around 560 and pushed the northern border of the empire to the Oxus River.

		No buildings can be identified on the mound, which has not been dug, but about 500 m east of it there is an enigmatic Sassanian building, containing what the excavators believe to be a fire altar, a funerary chamber with terracotta coffins, and a ceremonial chamber, roof supported by four pillars, decorated with stucco reliefs.
		The Hepthalites were the central Asian nomadic peoples who threatened and infiltrated the Sassanian north-east border, as their counterparts, the western Huns encroached on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries.
		Another Hepthalite features in similar pose to the Bandiyan example as the victim of Bahram II on a relief at Bishapur.

	Hephthalite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the end of the sixth century little is recorded in India about the Hephthalites, and what happened to them is unclear; some historians surmise that the remaining Hephthalites were assimilated into northern India's population.

		The white huns or hepthalites are completely different from the mongolian maruders that lived on horseback.
		There is a definite 'stubborn' or rebellious character trait that has been passed down, but not the straight thick hair, mongolion spot, or the shovel shaped incisors.
		I don't know about the white huns or hepthalites but the Huns of Attilla were asiatic and they were eventually nearly completely pushed out of Europe toward the Sea of Azov after Attilla bit the dust.

		This is because presently the bad experience of the lord of the Aryans and of the entire land was due to the wrath of the gods, and the cause was none other than the lord of the Aryans himself.
		Recalling the terror and besiegement which [the Hepthalites] had put the lord of the Aryans and the Iranians to [previously], all of the men felt abandoned and broken-hearted and were unable to see a Hepthalite, or hear the name Hepthalite, to say nothing about actually going to fight against the Hepthalites.
		The survivors also state that when they had approached, the Hepthalite sent to Peroz, saying: 'You have an oath with me-- sworn, written, and sealed--that you will not fight with me. We stipulated a boundary over which we would not dare to cross to inimically fight each other.

		For just as the men who were forcibly taken by Peroz and killed by the Hepthalites were innocent (and the gods will demand their blood from Peroz) so too Vahan is guiltless in all the things he planned and did.
		For the one who is now lord of the Aryans, and all the nobility, always talk about this, and inconsolably lament and mourn, recalling the intractable and impious ways of the man who had no parallel among men, but rather resembled a wild beast.
		He was the one who lost himself and the might and strength of the Aryan world and gave the great and free kingdom into service to the Hepthalites.

		The disunited Kushan and Sassanian kingdoms were in a bad position to meet the threat of a new wave of nomadic, Indo-European invaders from the north.
		The Hepthalites (or White Huns) swept out of Central Asia in the fourth or fifth century into Bactria and the areas to the south, overwhelming the last of the Kushan-Sassanian kingdoms.
		Although little is known of these people-as is the case with most of the preIslamic, Central Asian invaders of the Hindu Kush area-it is believed that their control lasted about a century and was marked by constant warfare with the Sassanians to the west.

		ALthough most historians believe the Hsiung-Nu are the Huns that invaded Europe in the 4thC, as well as the White Huns (Hepthalites) who attacked Persia, this is in fact based on one piece of evidence of Scythian origin, so is in fact virtually just conjectural.
		Many of the Turcoman/Mongol tribes would've seemed one and the same to the Romans/Persians, whereas in fact they may have been as dissimilar as the Magyars were to the Mongols.

		Afghanistan was a melting pot of international influences even before the Kushans came to power in around the first century - for example, at Ai Khanum, a Hellenized community was founded following Alexander the Great's (356-323 BCE) withdrawal from India.
		Then, in the fourth and fifth centuries, waves of Central Asians entered Afghanistan, most notably the Hepthalites or White Huns, while another foreign group, the Turki Shahis, assumed a dominant position in the late seventh century, probably based in the region of Kabul.
		Springing from this group by the mid-ninth century, possibly through a coup staged at court, were the Hindu Shahis, who established their capital at ancient Udabhandapura, or modem Hund in Pakistan, northwest of Taxila.

		Of course, the Manchus themselves fell from power and became just ordinary assimilated Chinese - just like all the rest.
		The Turks (probably of the Western Khanate, but maybe from the Eastern as well) were the source of many nomads who invaded Europe and the Near East: Cumans, Pechenegs, Khazars, Hepthalites, "White Huns", Magyars, Avars etc.
		Both Western and Eastern Turks were the source of Seljuks, of the Osmanli clan which founded the Ottoman Empire, of the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt, and of the "Black Sheep" and "White Sheep" khanates.

		But these were not taken seriously by the historians or archaeologists to investigate possible historical sites and their survivals.
		Their first impression would have been very likely, "that other than conquering armies of ferocious nomadic tribes like Arabs, Scythians, Yeuh Chihs, Hepthalites or Hunas, Tocharians, Tartars and Mongals, no other sensible people would ever have dared to cross these terrible barriers in search of better pastures.
		Hence, "the meeting of cultural conscious people, learned men, monks and eremites in search of divine wisdom, Truth or Sat (hence Sathnyasi Sannyasi) who preferred seclusion more than vain glory adventures was a remote possibility," would have been the conclusion of the historian and the research scholar of decades gone by.
