Hinduism includes a range of viewpoints about the origin of life, and evolution. There is no single story of creation, due to dynamic diversity of Hinduism, and these are derived from various sources like Vedas, Brahmanas, Puranas; some are philosophical, based on concepts, and others are narratives.

The nomadic Huns belonged to the Xiongnu tribe, who inhabited the borders of China as far back as the second century B.C. Another nomadic Yuezhi was forced to migrate from their neighbourhood because of their pressure which ultimately led to the invasions of the Sakas and the Kushanas in India. Later, the Huns themselves migrated to the west, and further dividing themselves into two parts, they proceeded towards the river Volga and the river Oxus respectively. The one threatened the Roman empire and the other Persia and India. By the fifth century A.D. the Hunas became a powerful force in Central Asia and, proceeding towards India, they occupied the north-west.
