Kanishka (2nd century CE) was the most famous ruler of the Kushana Empire (also spelled Shaka or Shakas in some Indian texts). The Kushanas controlled parts of Central Asia and northern India. The Gupta Empire came later (4th-6th century), the Huns were different invaders (6th century), and Kanishka definitively belonged to the Kushana/Shaka dynasty.
