Question

एक शासक के रूप में कनिष्क का मूल्यांकन कीजिए।
(Make an estimate of Kanishka as a ruler.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

History has recognized Kanishka as one of the greatest monarchs of ancient India.

As a conqueror, an empire-builder, a patron of Buddhism, and a promoter of culture, Kanishka played an important role to earn that distinction.

Though of foreign origin, Kanishka became an Indian in very sense of the term. Even though he ruled over vast territories outside India, he ruled over them as an Indian king.

He was also the only Indian King to have ruled over an extensive region of Central Asia and to have conquered lands beyond the Pamirs. As a conqueror, he undoubtedly played a most heroic part.
