Brahmakshatriya or Priest King, a la Imperial Guptas.
solmba@Michssspp82096
In "the Gallic war", the author recounts that the Gallic elite was divided between the Knights (warrior class) and the Druids (priestly class). This division also ran through individual families with the example of Dumnorix (chieftain) and his brother Diviciacus (Druid).

It is true indeed... Sunga, Gupta, Satvahana as opposed to say Mauryas, realization of the clan interests after power consolidation clearly shows a trend...

I am implying when Kshtriyas were in control they created Budhism lol

@v4jx36 @entropied2223 "specific purpose of ending the Huna menace"
Ever heard the term 'Apad-dharma'? And in case too much speculations, anonymity, "seems to be" etc... not comparable with the Gupta Vakataka marriage.

@TupurSen @entropied2223 What about Vakatak princess Chandralekha marrying Kshatriya Maitrak king Dhruvasen I?
English
Anyone who is saying Guptas were Kshatriyas is basically saying that marrying daughters to Brahmins was widespread among imperial Kshatriyas. Not sure how does that help their caste kanging.

“The Persians and the British didn’t name us in their language, so we did not exist.”
Brilliant deduction.
Vîshāl@lordvishalkumar
Sister-in-law, during the time of Ashoka the Great, even the word ‘Hindu’ did not exist. So how can there be a religion called Hinduism? Tell me, in which book is it written that Chandragupta Maurya was a Hindu I will give you 10 million if you can prove it.

Konkani words (onomatopoeic) for 'Shine' (verb).
Jhakjhak (ঝকঝক) and Chakchak (চকচক) means "to shine" in Bengali too. But Liklik (লিকলিক) and Thalthal (থলথল) respectively means "too thin" and "too fatty".
Śaśā́ṅkaḥ श॒शाङ्कः॑@Konkanist
@DesikankD That verb is onomatopoeic in Konkani. Any one of the following four onomatopoeic verbs are used- लिकलिकूंक liklikūṅk थळथळूंक tʰaḷtʰaḷūṅk झगझगूंक j̈ʰagj̈ʰagūṅk चकचकूंक ċakċakūṅk

@TupurSen @Konkanist @DesikankD Marathi - झगझगणे, लखलखणे, चकचकणे
Gujarati - ઝગારવું, ઝગઝગવું, લસલસવું, ચકચકવું, તકતકવું
Rajasthani - झिबझिबणौ, झिगझिगणौ, चकचकणौ, झिलझिलणौ
@RCamotim @Konkanist @DesikankD Interesting. What are the Marathi, Gujarati and Rajasthani variants of the words Jhakjhak and Chakchak, if I may ask?
English
English
@B97520Basty @Konkanist @DesikankD I am not referring to the act of using onomatopoeia, but rather these particular words. Are they used in languages you mentioned and if yes, do they mean the same?
English
@TupurSen @Konkanist @DesikankD Yes, such onomatopoeia are also found in Gujarati, Marathi, Saurashtra and some Rajasthani languages.
English
@Konkanist @DesikankD "Liklik" and "Thalthal", though, mean something different in Bengali. The first means "extremely thin" and the second "fatty".
English
@Konkanist @DesikankD It is these similarities which got me curious actually, "Jhakjhak" and "Chakchak" are used in Bengali to mean shine (whereas in Hindi it is jhakmak and chakmak). I understand it is onomatopoetic so can match, but is it exactly same in other SW IA languages too (say, Marathi)?

Those who propose a SE Asian diversification of Y-haplo F simply overlooks the absence of G & H (the first two divergent haplos descending from F) in SE Asia.
Certain basal F may have reached SE Asia by coastal route & haven't been renamed, but GHIJK certainly diverged in Iran.

Another G2b dominated clade, Karlani Waziris.

These Karlani Waziris are paternal descendants of Zagrosian Neolithic populations. Their forefathers belong to Zagrosian Wezmeh G2b lineage. These Karlani Mehsud G2b predate Steppe R1 Pashtuns. They are a Zagrosian breed from Waziristan—do not mistake them for R1 steppe

@NikhilRxx10 Why laugh? All depends on recognition. Cricket has got such a huge enthusiast base (leading to infra investment, sponsorship) because Cricketers are celebrated in every nook and corner. When the national footballers go unrecognized, what would motivate anyone to take football?
