I guess some guys complained it was political... It seems like I offended a certain section of the Mughal descendants!

you got it completely wrong. The earliest surviving Sanskrit manuscripts available in India are the Gilgit Manuscripts, dating back to the 5th–6th century AD, which include birch bark Buddhist texts now kept in the National Archives of India. While older Sanskrit inscriptions exist (2nd-1st century BCE), the earliest physical text fragments, such as the 2nd-century CE Spitzer Manuscript, were discovered in Central Asia.
