Historical background


KUSHAN EMPIRE - KIDARA KINGDOM

The Kidarite kingdom was founded by a vassal of the Kushans, named Kidara I. The Kidarites settled in northern Punjab, in the Kabul-Gandhara region. Their arrival is dated between 360 and 430. They were defeated by the Hephthalite Huns and disappeared with the arrival of Islam.
