Skandagupta was the eighth king of the Gupta dynasty who ruled ancient India from the third to the fifth century. His capital was Pataliputra, which is currently the capital of Bihar in the form of Patna. Skandagupta fought wars for as many years as he ruled. The credit for protecting India from the barbaric Huns goes to Skandagupta. The Huns were barbaric tribes living in Central Asia. They crossed the Hindu Kush and captured Gandhara and then attacked the great Gupta Empire. But the brave Skandagupta resisted them successfully and drove them away.
