Shoo shoo Roach. You're irrelevant here.
Indian history involves countless city states, kingdoms, and the occasional empire.
Some of the most successful were the Nanda empire, Mauryan, and Gupta dynasties.

literally magadha+
A better post gupta empire would be the rashtrakutas, or the pratiharas, who fucked the arabs in the ass so hard that turks had to expand islam into India.
What is it with these fuckers and smashing historical buildings?
From the Delhi Sultanshits to ISIS today.
>The Delhi Sultanate was an era of temple destruction and desecration.[73][74] Richard Eaton has tabulated a campaign of destruction of idols and temples by Sultans, intermixed with instances of years where the temples were protected from desecration.[15][75][76] In many cases, the demolished remains, rocks and broken statue pieces were reused to build mosques and other buildings. For example, the Qutb complex in Delhi was built from stones of 27 demolished Hindu and Jain temples by some accounts,[77] and additionally included parts from Buddhist temples by other accounts.[78] Similarly, the Muslim mosque in Khanapur, Maharashtra was built from the looted parts and demolished remains of Hindu temples.[36] Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji destroyed Buddhist and Hindu libraries and their manuscripts at Nalanda and Odantapuri Universities at the beginning of Delhi Sultanate.[47][79]

I don't get why Indians don't consider this their most important empire religiously speaking. If these guys had lost India would be mostly Islamic by now.

Those cucks are a huge reason why the British steamrolled India. A huge disgrace. I sincerely hope all of them get cucked by Muslims.

Sikh Empire
>Secular State
>Alliance/Close relations with France
>Modern Army trained by Napoleonic Generals
>Genocided Afghans(also conquered Afghanistan's winter capital)
>Acquired world's largest diamond(Kohinoor)

brits romanticized them because they made up a large part of their early armies, same with the brahmin hindus from bengal presidency.
That still doesn't take away that they full on WAAAGH'ed the delhi sultanates and turned them into a rump state.

Of not for the Muslims fucking everything up (but I digress...) I could easily see the Indian civilization colonizing everything south east of the Indian subcontinent, though not Persia, the MidEast and Africa (maybe Africa).
