Answers
Answer:
Hyy mate....
The Kushans were most probably one of five branches of the Yuezhi confederation, an Indo-European nomadic people of possible Tocharian origin, who migrated from Gansu and settled in ancient Bactria.
The Kushans possibly used the Greek language initially for administrative purposes, but soon began to use Bactrian language. Kanishka sent his armies north of the Karakoram mountains. A direct road from Gandhara to China remained under Kushan control for more than a century, encouraging travel across the Karakoram and facilitating the spread of Mahayana Buddhism to China.

Explanation:
Kushans were one of the most powerful rulers of their time. They are considered part of the Yeuchi clan. Kuzul Kadphisis is the founder of this empire and Kanishka is the most famous ruler of this empire. They were the first Indian empire which issued gold coins. They were the most powerful empire of their time and had control over the silk route. Plus they had trade relation with Hans Chinese and Romans too. They ruled over vast part of India. Ultimately like most of the great empires their end came after constant fighting with the other invaders like hypthelites and other tribes.
Now another question where are their descendants today if it was such a large and powerful empire- A clan among Gurjars are considered the descendants of the Kushans. This clan is Kasanas or Kusanas. These people are widely spread across the geographies where the Kushans ruled.
