Explanation: Shashanka was the first independent king of a unified polity in the Bengal region, called the Gauda Kingdom. He between 600 CE and 636/7 CE, whereas other sources place his reign between 590 and 625 CE.
He is the contemporary of Harsha and of Bhaskaravarman of Kamarupa. His capital was at Karnasubarna, in present-day Murshidabad in West Bengal. The development of the Bengali calendar is often attributed to Shashanka because the starting date falls within his reign.
