Answer:
The answer to the question: By the time the Huns invaded northern India, the Gupta Empire had already collapsed, is that this statement is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Gupta Empire, one of the most important, and one that marked the history of India, and South East Asia, as well, took place between the third century C.E., to around 543 C.E. This period was known as the Golden Age of India, and it was marked by the fast-paced development of the region in many areas, particularly scientific and cultural. The Gupta Empire, under the dynasty of Gupta, which was founded by their first king, Sri Gupta, flourished to unknown levels and went so far as to extend through most of the South East of the Asian continent. However, decline of the empire began around the 400 CE, with the death of Skandagupta. Even then, the empire resisted, even beyond the invasion of the Huns, around the 480s. In fact, after the main invasion, the Huns were driven out of India, in 528, and the empire was still in existence, though weakened. The invasions were one of the many factors that helped the empire collapse.
