Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"BETWEEN THE DEATH of Ashoka in 231 BC and the advent of Gupta power in 320 AD, India’s ancient history plummets again to a murky obscurity. . . . The five hundred years between the Mauryas and the Guptas become, in fact, ‘India’s Dark Age’. . . . On closer inspection the ‘Dark Age’ proves to be softly illuminated by the steady glow of cultural integration, especially in peninsular India." [Keay: India: A History, p, 101-102]
