	Saka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Saka Era is used by the Indian national calendar, a few other Hindu calendars, and the Cambodian Buddhist calendar—its year zero begins near the vernal equinox of 78.
		Paul Pezon supports this theory, claiming that the Saka Scythians and the seemingly related Cimmerians were ultimately ancestors to the Celts and Germans, and that the Germans fled the Baltic area when it was flooded by the rising sea level after the Ice age.
		The Buddha Gotama was recorded of being of the tribe of the Sakas, his father being a king of the Kshatriya caste.

	The Minor Indo-Scythian and Indo-Parthian Eras of Maues, Gondophares, and Odi
		The philosophical reason is that the fewer the number of eras employed to explain the inscriptions, the simpler the solution, and it is a general principle that the simplest solution is usually the best.
		The first dates are in the Azes era (red) and Greek (green) in the North, the Saka era in the West (olive green) and the use of regal years (fl), in the south.
		For example, inscriptions are attributed to the Saka era both in West India and in the Gangetic region.

		That the era used with the Gregorian calendar in the West is based on the ostensible birth year of Christ (see Christian era) grates on many, especially in non-Christian countries that have adopted this calendar.
		In Indonesia, on the island of Java, an era known as Aji Saka is used with a 354-day lunar calendar, which is all we have been able to learn about it.

	History & info - Indian calendars
		As a result of a calendar reform in 1957 C.E., the National Calendar of India is a formalized lunisolar calendar in which leap years coincide with those of the Gregorian calendar (Calendar Reform Committee, 1957).
		However, the initial epoch is the Saka Era, a traditional epoch of Indian chronology.
		Years are counted from the Saka Era; 1 Saka is considered to begin with the vernal equinox of C.E. The reformed Indian calendar began with Saka Era 1879, Caitra 1, which corresponds to C.E. 1957 March 22.

		The Sakas (or Shakas) were an Iranian steppe people who descended into India, much as the Arya had earlier.

		After the arrival of the Kushans, the Sakas were simply driven further into India, into Rajasthan, where they became assimilated as Hindu Kshatriyas.

	Kali-yuga and Sakabda
		We are familiar with the Christian Era, which is now being secularized as the Common Era, CE or BCE, as opposed to AD or BC.
		In India there is a large welter of eras that are used, for example: 1989 AD is equivalent to Vikram Samvat 2046, Saka era 1911, Bengali San 1396, Kollam era 1165, Hejira 1410, Buddha Nirvana 2533 (this is wrong however), Mahavira Nirvana 2516, Kali Yuga 5090, and Yudhisthira Saka 5126.
		There are many such as Gupta Saka, Vallabhi Saka, and Mallava Gana Saka which are no longer current but of interest only to historians, epigraphists, antiquarians and the like (and me of course).

		Amartya Sen mentions that the use of the Saka Era is first attested in an inscription from 543 AD (Saka year 465), at the very end of the Gupta period [p.326].
		Although Sen is aware that the Kaliyurga Era does not date any historical event, he does not explain all the different versions of the calendar cycles, and the system into which the Kaliyurga, as a cyclical period, is embedded.
		As discussed elsewhere, this solar Hegira era is equivalent to the year of the Era of Nabonassar (747 BC) minus 1368.

		The Common Era (CE), also known as the Christian Era and sometimes the Current Era, is the period beginning with the year 1 onwards.
		Some Christians have used the term CE to mean "Christian era." Many non-religious academics in the fields of history, theology, archaeology and anthropology have also in recent decades begun using this system.
		More visible uses of common era notation have recently surfaced at major museums in the English-speaking world: Canada's Royal Ontario Museum adopted BCE/CE in 2002 [http://www.rom.on.ca.cob-web.org:8888/ossuary/ossuary_intro.html], and the Smithsonian Institution also prefers common era usage, though individual museums are not required to use it.[http://www.smithsonianeducation.org.cob-web.org:8888/educators/field_trips/standards/world_history_standards.html] As well, many style guides now prefer or mandate its usage.
