It has been agreed unanimously by the scholars that the Saka Era was counted from the time of Kanishka I in 78 A.D. Later modern historians have pointed out some defects in the theory approached by Fergusson. According to them, Kanishka was the ruler of northern India and the Saka era was popularised in south India. In that case it cannot be possible for Kanishka to introduce Sakabada, more popular in the southern parts of India. Moreover they have also pointed out that the Saka era was associated with the name of the Saka Satraps and did not have any connection with the Kushanas. But since this argument did not have any supported facts behind, it was refuted by most. Thus it was generally held that Kanishka introduced the Saka era from 78 A.D.
