False Histories-saka/kushana Debate

[Guest]

While most of the tribes of Central Asia were mongoloid, some of them were clearly Aryans speaking languages related to Sanskrit.

It is quite possible that the Kushans are one such tribe.

The kushan clothing reflects Mongol influence however.

Also, Mihirakula the Huna king was a devotee of Shiva.

We also also know many Hindu kings ruled over towns in Central Asia upto 900 AD I believe, until they were ousted by the Chinese.


Based on the link provided by Ravi - http://www.med.unc.edu/~nupam/kushan1.html, It appears majority of the Kushan coins had Vedic deities, specifically Shiva.


<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->All that has happened is that a Chinese nomenclature has been used for a non Chinese people. Once the nomenclature came into use, the rest of the would be historians, used the term unconsciously.

The correct pronunciation of Yueh chi is Gut-ia or Jut-ia for 'g' and 'j' sounds are interchangeable. So we find these people calling themselves Juts, Jats in those time.

I agree that the Chinese nomenclature is inaccurate.
However, what evidence do you have that the Yueh chi called themselves Jats?
