#LalitadityaMuktapida, the great king of #Kashmir from the 8th Century ruled for 36 years during which he defeated the Arabs, the Momin of Bukhara (Uzbekistan) and subdued the Turks and the Tibetans. He not only protected his subjects and kingdom but built a giant empire by means of aggressive strategies and military prowess. His empire stretched from Central Asia to the Gangetic Plain and was at least twice the size of the #MughalEmpire during its peak. He was known to be an able administrator who also patronized various arts, crafts, and different branches of learning. He built the #MartandSunTemple, a specimen of architectural brilliance; the ruins of which can be found at #Anantnag in the Union Territory of #JammuandKashmir. #RightHistory wonders why this great Hindu emperor with towering achievements like these is #LostinHistory?
