According to Indian Puranas, the cursed son of King Yayati, Turvasu and Anu’s descendants started eating dogs, cats and snake meat. These descendants started settling in the Dhobi desert located in the north of China, which we know today as Mongolia.
According to Chinese literature, in the centuries of BC, there were many rude castes in the northwest of China, the main Mongol caste. The Mongol invaders used to attack China located in the south of their state and loot the local people. To prevent these invasions, the great wall of China was built about 500 BC.
Alexander settled Greek families
According to the book ‘Dardbhari Dastan of Babur’s sons’, Alexander attacked India about 330 years ago. During this time he passed through the girl area. At that time, the people living here were descendants of ancient qualities, who came to this area due to the formation of China’s wall. Alexander settled the Greek families in the region and named it Bactria. Due to the fair complexion and blue -eyed beauty of the Greeks, it came to be called Nuristan i.e. ‘country of light’.
During the Maurya Emperor Ashoka, many Buddhist monks reached the region and built thousands of Buddha idols in the valleys of Bamiyan. During the Gupta period, some fighters entered India, who persecuted followers of Buddhism. After this, Vaishnavism was revived.
Turks emerged in this region of Afghanistan and established their independent states in the 10th century. Islam was spread during the Turk reign, but the people of Bactria could not accept it for a long time, so Arab Muslims called it ‘Kafiristan’.
Mongol was a confluence of Ottoman and Unani influences
According to historians, the region has been a confluence of Mongol, Ottoman and Unani influences. From the time of Alexander, Maurya and Gupta rulers to the rise of Turks in Central Asia and Afghanistan, the region played an important role in Indian and Central Asian history.
