Hi

SHANKASHARIA TOWARDS 700JC. THE FIRST DOOR OF Hindu HISTORY?

Shankara in the 8th century is the first to really be part of the historical era. Before him it's unclear, we don't have specific dates.

Somebody told me
Empire MAGHADHA had AN IMPORTANT INFLUENCE AND AN IMPORTANT ROLE for chronology IS THIS TRUE?

No, AL2020. Vedas 5,000 BCE or Indus Valley Civilization 5,000 BCE.
And Shankara + the Acharya (Teacher) makes Shankaracharya. :D
Yes, Empire Magadha or the Maurya Empire is an important part of Indian history (Chandragupta Mourya and Ashoka). 322 and 185 BCE. Two Emperors, one known for the establishment and expansion of the empire, the other known for his piety. The latter important for Buddhism but not for Hinduism.

Hindus were so intent on philosophy that they never mentioned the dates or the names of kings or philosophers. Remembered only what they said. All the rest was considered unimportant.

So there is a contradiction

1
The video and books speak about precise history events

But it s said that Hindu s history is not clear we don't really know chronology. Does it mean that this history began to be traced and written very late?

2 video is good ,clear but isn't it partisan like in India everything is good and OK ?
