Hunas or Huna (Middle Brahmi script: 
Hūṇā) was the name given by ancient Indians to a group of Central Asian tribes who via the Khyber Pass, entered the Indian subcontinent at the end of 5th or early 6th century. The Hunas occupied areas as far as Eran and Kausambi, greatly weakening the Gupta Empire. The Hunas were ultimately defeated by a coalition of Indian kings that included an Indian king Yasodharman and Gupta emperor, Narasimhagupta. They defeated a Huna army and their ruler Mihirakula in 528 CE and drove them out of India. The Guptas are thought to have played a minor role in this campaign.
