The Copper Plate of Bhaskaravarman: Assam's Secret Treaty with Bengal

Long before the Mughals or the British, a forgotten alliance between Bengal and Assam shaped the fate of eastern India. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the copper plate inscriptions of Bhaskaravarman, the Varman king of Kamarupa who allied with Harshavardhana against the Gauda king Shashanka. We follow the Nidhanpur copper plate grant, which records land donations in Sylhet (modern Bangladesh), and examine how this treaty influenced the spread of Buddhism, trade routes along the Brahmaputra, and the cultural blending of Bengal and Assam. Discover the politics of 7th-century eastern India, the rise of the Mlechchha dynasty, and the legacy of Bhaskaravarman's diplomatic genius. #Bhaskaravarman #Kamarupa #CopperPlateInscriptions #Nidhanpur #Shashanka #Harshavardhana #GaudaKingdom #VarmanDynasty #Brahmaputra #Sylhet #AssamHistory #BengalHistory #AncientIndia #Epigraphy #Buddhism #TradeRoutes #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
