The Manusmriti , Anushasanaparva of the Mahabharata , Vartika of the Katyayana, the Kishkindha Kanda of the Ramayana written elaborately about 200 nomadic groups - the Shakas, Yavanas, Kambojas, Paradas, Pahlavas, Kiratas , Tusharas, Sabaras, Barbaras, and the Daradas, etc., and addresses them all as "degraded warriors" or Kshatriyas" and addresses them all as the Barbaric tribes of Uttarapatha.( extreme north-west beyond the Himavat (i.e. Hindukush) ) . Patanjali in his Mahabhashya regards the Shakas and Yavanas as pure Shudras .
The Vanaparva of the Mahabharata contains verses in the form of prophecy that the kings of the Sakas, Yavanas, Kambojas, Bahlikas and etc. shall rule unrighteously in Kaliyuga (MBH 3/188/34-36).
according to The Brihat-Katha-Manjari of the Kshemendra , that around 400 CE, the Gupta king Vikramaditya (Chandragupta II) vanquished the Shakas, Mlecchas, Kambojas, Yavanas, Tusharas, Parasikas, Hunas, etc..

sir, could you tell me who are AGNIKULA KSHATRIYAS...? why they have Harichandra(Before rama),Ragukula,ravikula,lava,khusha,like gotras......?
ReplyDeleteThey were called degraded by those whose lands they conquered. And those historic accounts prevailed.
ReplyDeleteAlso they were called 'degraded' as they didn't respect caste system in their lands ( Didn't give Brahmins those special privileges.). So, it was a term only devised to show them unworthy of ruling (as they were powerful at the time). It was nothing but politics.
It all happened because they captured Mathura and some people couldn't live to the fact that those westerners ruled their land. So defeated, Ishvaku king just proclaimed them degraded. If Central Indians couldn't treat the western clans as same, how did they expected them to be treated better at the time.
