Was Kanishka the Kamsa mentioned in the Mahabharata

Hi,

In his documentary "The Story of India", (a BBC production) Michael Woods tried to show a link between Kamsa and Kanishka. Kanishka was a ruler who ruled with Mathura as its capital.

Although this is quite controversial and ungrounded. Mahabharata even though exists as a legend is nowhere near the period of Kanishka. Kanishka was a Buddhist and according to Hinduism, Buddha was born after Krishna.


Now the arguments include the similar sounding names, around the same city of Mathura. Kanishka was not a fan of Brahminical Hinduism and was a Buddhist. I am not sure though how the above strand fills in with other details such as did Kanishka have a sister who gave birth to a child. Did he kill infants?

Did he have a father in law from Magadha such as Jarasandha? etc. Can anyone who knows of this theory comment on this.


Please help.



Thanks!



I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
