Objectively the Gupta Empire, there isn't any debate about this. The Gupta Age was in fact the golden age of Hindu history when Hindu spirituality, art, literature, science, and philosophy attained an acme which has not since been surpassed.

It was the worst period of India's history and your name-calling doesn't change anything.

>But so far as the Hindus are concerned, this period was a prolonged spell of darkness which ended only when the Marathas and the Jats and the Sikhs broke the back of Islamic imperialism in the middle of the 18th century. The situation of the Hindus under Muslim rule is summed up by the author of Tãrîkh-i-Wassãf in the following words: The vein of the zeal of religion beat high for the subjection of infidelity and destruction of idols. The Mohammadan forces began to kill and slaughter, on the right and the left unmercifully, throughout the impure land, for the sake of Islãm, and blood flowed in torrents. They plundered gold and silver to an extent greater than can be conceived, and an immense number of precious stones as well as a great variety of cloths. They took captive a great number of handsome and elegant maidens and children of both sexes, more than pen can enumerate. In short, the Mohammadan army brought the country to utter ruin and destroyed the lives of the inhabitants and plundered the cities, and captured their off-springs, so that many temples were deserted and the idols were broken and trodden under foot, the largest of which was Somnãt. The fragments were conveyed to Dehlî and the entrance of the Jãmi Masjid was paved with them so that people might remember and talk of this brilliant victory. Praise be to Allah the lord of the worlds.

It said Indian not Hindu. Mughals managed to unite most of India and under Akbar India was the most relevant and richest.

This. Either the Guptas or the early Mauryan Empire under the enlightened Ashoka.

Yeah, any Indologists will tell you it's the Guptas. Personally, I'm a fan of the late medieval era, 1300s - 1600s, when you had all sorts of weird shit happening with the Bhamani sultanates and various kingdoms in the south duking it out

Mythological. Any era without flying chariots isn't worth living in.
