Buddhist Bengal: The Pala Empire That Shaped Eastern India
Om avsnittet
Before Bengal became a Muslim-majority land, it was the heartland of a Buddhist empire that ruled for four centuries. This episode explores the Pala Empire (8th–12th century), from its founder Gopala's election as king to the monastic universities of Nalanda and Vikramashila that flourished under Pala patronage. We discuss the empire's rivalries with the Pratiharas and Rashtrakutas, its decline under later rulers, and the legacy of Pala art and architecture that influenced Southeast Asia. Key figures include Dharmapala, Devapala, and the great scholar Atisha Dipankara.
