Oh I see - you know more about it than the local scholars do because you might or might not fap to Evola.
He's not a bad scholar though.
Well, the Yavanas affected Buddha's sculpting, and the Saka meant affection upon their history as well. Which of the two are more Indian according to you?
I stumbled upon sanskrit culture a few years back and a read handful of books. I think the most interesting one was the yoga vasistha, it claims to answer all possible human questions. Varaha Mihira, Parasara, Jaimini, Vyasa are other authors. I dont know why locals in india have such different views of their own history now. The caste system literally is a classist plutocracy now.
The government of India could be to blame, honestly. Even the holy ceremonies got screwed up by them. The celebration of Makara Sankranti for example is supposed to take place around december 25th but its officially set by govt in mid january because the government uses incorrect astronomy. Who knows why they chose the wrong information.
I dont know anything about that particular chunk of indian history w/ yavanas and sakas.
Buddha was also an avatar of vishnu, which would ironically make him a Hindu deity as well.
