by the way If you go by the date of the textual material, indian history begins with the pillars of asokha, year -250
Ashoka talks about himself mostly & reading some sutras from the pali canon
Then you go directly to the year +50_+150 with the gandhari buddhists sutras & garbage Mayana suttras & some chinese translations of those.
Then you go directly to year +400 with some more chineses travellers translating some buddhists sutras
All thats stuff is based on carbon dating & chinese records of the dates of the translations
The oldest texts are not the Vedas, contrary to what the poos say. It even gets worse. There are 3 vedas & they
-don't have ignorance
-don't have karma
-don't have rebirth
-don't have meditation
-are 100% ritualistic & killing animals to please the gods, like all the other retards did. Hindus are horse sluts. literal women.
The poos are still SEETHING to this day that the buddhists & jains contradicted their garbage vedas.
The poos had to change all their vedic crap in the commentarial upanishads where they still talk about doing rituals & symbols but started to talk about karma, rebirth , meditation & ''muh killing animals is bad bro, god was joking in vedas teehee''
You have the same problem with greeks history. The earliest date for the materials is year +XXX, even though the texts itself says it is about some dudes living in year -300 [like alexander]
The only way to have the usual timeline hindus->hindus+jains+buddhists is through the ''linguistic analysis'' meme.
The major problem of the textual analysis is that putting a date on group of texts with this is fruitless. The best those people can do is throwing a number like year -500, but it could have been -450,or -600 or even further away than this.
The other major problem with textual analysis is the ''oral transmission'' meme: people change the texts all the fucking time, some times on purpose to make it seem older or younger, whatever suits them.
