My ancestors were shipped to Andamans first the British and then Indian govt but they still kept their caste and didn't believe they lost anything. The one thing they lost is the mindset of caste based discrimination. Even today, in Andamans, inter caste marriage is very common. Caste is not a bar when people look for potential partners. And even Inter faith marriage is fairly common. Almost all of my cousins married to people of another caste.
not sure why you said exception to the rule, ,maybe in terms of total population because this was only a North Indian practice, South India was a trade hub for millennia and crossing seas was no taboo since many Noble and Royals in South Indian Kingdoms had Royal barges and pleasure barges as well as ships meant for leisurely racing and dotted around the coasts and seas with them especially in Tamil Region where crossing from Indian continent to Sri Lankan Islands was common. Going outside South India it was also very common in Bengal another hub of trade. Beyond that some Gujarati castes also maintained this as did some Punjabis though lesser so. Most of the other North Indians preferred the land trade
At last. It's been quite a while since your last video was released. But well worth the wait. Very interesting story presented in a lucid way and also without any waste of words. Excellent.
As usual interesting story But I'm intrigued about the thrown 4K liters / 345 kg SILVER TANK into the ocean..... It'll be an incredible treasure to find by ocean/sea treasure hunters with all modern Naval tech

Thousands of Indians travelled to the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and even China in centuries past. Someone needs to identify when and why this ridiculous custom came into being.
These are thoroughly researched videos with immaculate editing and narration. This channel is way underrated. Kudos to you guys!
Thank you so much. Glad you like them!

Sad to know our country was ridden with stupid superstitions

But i was told only Brahmins were not allowed to cross see cuz they don't want science and knowledge to go outside india
They didn’t want other Indians to see that you could like happily without them.
@@4ray who Brahmin
@@rallyworld3417 the Brahmin priests who made up the rule. Brahmins used to travel to other countries too. I’m sure not everyone liked that rule.
