Great Analysis Rajivji. Many other Hindi, Telugu & Tamil movies have noticed lot of subtle plantings done by Christians either in the form of major scenes in church or a good person wearing a cross prominently or missionaries doing lot of good work, hindu priests as greedy or the swamis as corrupt. This has been going on for the past 25 years as I can see in Hindi and 15 years ago it has started creeping into Telugu movies about the same time the evangelists have become very agressive in Andhra under YSR and they even wanted part of Tirupati for a church.
I don't get what is it about the movie that's western 'West' what we refer to as today didn't even exist back then Major contemporary civilizations were egyptian and mesopotamians who reffered to our ancestors as melluha. Indus Valley civilization was clearly not vedic. Yes they should have shown more proto dravidian influence in movie but because of the different proposed theories, it's not easy to portray something and ignore something else. Horses weren't Clearly a part of indus civilization do I don't understand why that's an issue. People driven by hindu nationalism calling for camcelling this and that is extremely ignorant. There's no need to spread islamophobia or even relate or compare islam with indus Valley civilization because which emerged about 4-5 thousand years later after civilization.
Entire land of Pakistan,Kashmir,Bangladesh was Hindus nation then. Pakistan is only 60yrs old,but, original India, (Pakistan+India+Entire Kashmir+Bangladesh) history is 4500yrs old ruled by small and powerful hindu kings. Islam from Arabia attacked Original India 800years back, and for 600years since then converted millions of Hindus under weak Hindu kings to Islam forcefully, brutally, destroyed temples(it is estimated 56000 ) to that extent,that locals forgot their hindu ancistory(especially in Pakisthan ,Kashmir,Bangladesh).These enslaved Hindu population,who were already experts of building beautifully carved sculpted hindu,jain,buddha temples ,were forced to build foreign Arab Islam Culture in Original India(Pakistan+India+Entire Kashmir+Bangladesh) at the expense of Hindu temples. Islam also cut actual India in to Pakisthan+Inida+Bangladesh by 1947. Even today, Islam is Creating Trouble in lans of India. All Muslims of Pakistan+Kashmir+Bangladesh and those in India should go back to their roots, which is Hindu-ancestors and convert back to Hinduism and reject Islam which belongs to foreign Arabia. Islam 'Dose not belong to Pakistan or India Or Kashmir or Bangladesh'. Islam is foreign from Arabia. Only Hindu,Buddha,Jain, Sikh cultures belong here, and are branches of Hinduism
religion is not about what you want to believe in, it is about what you believe in, if a person believes that certain religion is the right path you couldn't and shouldn't force them out of it, your concept about religion to destroyed, religion isn't about what our ancestors followed, it doesn't matter if our ancestors are Hindu, christen, jew or Sikh, what we believe in is our religion, what our ancestor belived was their religion .
It is absolutely imperative that the Western narratives of ancient Indian history be reviewed and corrected and presented to the younger generation so that they march forward with confidence and self respect towards the growth of India as a hard and soft global power.
Mr. Malhotra is awesome. I just came to know about him a few days before. It's a shame that I din't realise how amazing some of our personalities are.. He is an amazing personality
The government and department of archaelogy has to come into full force. The Archeological survey of India has a lot of info but that is not being taught in NCERT.
Absolutely it's not taught as country so called pseudo sickularizm will be spoiled by showing true history that's what s.l. bhyarappa ji told ncert does to show wrong history to child to manipulate they're mind that's I'll say support swami ramdevji Gurukul it gives vedic as well as modern education .
Facts are mostly distorted in Indian history by the west or european historian because some of the greedy Indians who were so influenced with the west that they forgot their roots and sold their soul for money . Now the time has come when we need to make a move like " Ten COMMANDMENTS " ( a 1956 biblical epic)directed by Cecil B DeMile (which I consider was sponsored by Vatican to market the Christianity)to tell the true history of Saraswat Valley Civilisation. Movies like MOHENJO DARO are made with the sole purpose to make money and has nothing to do with history or the its civilization. Unless the Hindu brotherhood understand the onslaught of the west we will not be able to protect our heritage and religion.
Thank you for this! My ancestors were Irish, and forced to adopt an alien faith through rivers of blood....nearly all books burned. The language of sandscrit (i have sung it) is beautiful and must be very ancient to be so sophisticated, and the "hindu" faith is beautiful. I trust the mahabarata long before i trust some crusty historian with no original thought in his head. You have a beautiful and ancient culture...mine was mostly erased, and i am glad at least you have so much of yours...hold on to it, it is a great treasure. I am so glad to see you defend it with such vigor!
You nailed it Rajiv sir. We all need to learn correct history, pass on correct information on our heritage and stay united on our cultural roots against those who believe in creating propaganda. They don't have any meaningful roots to cherish about so they definitely like to hijack our roots to showcase as theirs. Those who agree with me please support Rajiv Sir by whatever means you can and like this comment so that the message is reached to everyone. Namah shivay.
First of all thank you +Rajiv Malhotra Official . Even thought I am commenting almost after 2 years, I do agree with all the points. I would like to point out 2 more things. 1. The Timeline of the Movie is NOT quite clear and for say, if we assume that Mohenjo Daro was at its peak, they should have seen River Saraswati before seeing Ganga. And Saraswati was the mightiest of those three. 2. According to Vedic Tradition, Sindhu and Brahamaputra are MALE rivers. BUT in the movie they kept on saying "Sindhu Maa"...
Really appreciate the work you are doing for Bharath and Sanathan Dharma. A true Karma Yogi. Got to know about Gowarikar's view point before the release. Hence skipped the movie. This is the best way to teach these guys a lesson. All people in Media and Bollywood who peddle lies about Current Bharath and its History need to be boycotted in a commercial way so that they feel the heat. Unless we do that, we will be encouraging them to produce more such stuff and funding them.
Too hard for a society to swallow pure intelligence when it has been drugged by movies and biased motivated characters. I think these kind of reviews should be done by more of us, so SRM need not have to dilute his attention. The fact that he has taken time to do this review highlights the importance of the reach of junk that is being peddled.
I have few comments on the review. I have been following your work since 2009/2010 and read your books Breaking India, Indra's Net, Being Different and Battle for Sanskrit. I agree with two points you mentioned - absence of Sanskrit and total negligence of Yoga, given that we have seals of persons in Bhadrasana pose. But I dont agree with your intrepretation of some of the scenes. The first thing which came to my mind when they mention Mesopotamia, Egypt, Arab, Uzbek is about trade and not middle-east influence as you mentioned here. The final scene of flood is in parallel with evidence observed by George F Dales, which led to dismissal of invasion by Wheeler. Current studies published in PNAS based on monsson data provides evidence that rising sea-levels and subsequent drough of 200 years led to fall of Mohenjodaro. Also there is no sign of mortal combat wounds in the skeletons. So Ashutosh didnt go by the western lens of Aryan Invasion. The ending with Mohenjodaro people inhabiting the Gangetic plains is far fetched and no concrete evidence exists, even though many Indians tend to believe in this hypothesis. Lastly, the movie has been trashed by several marxist-leftist critics as a Hindutva conspiracy (which it is not). It is typical Manmohan Desai 80s potboilers set in Indus-Saraswati civilization. after watching the movie I have decided to visit Dholavira and Rakhigarhi. If the movie generates debate then its a good thing as well - our people will develop interest on our civilizational past.
Thanks for your knowledge on the subject. Here are the few points to consider - Depiction of arrival of Horse ( as depicted in the movie) - Trading ( as depicted in the movie) - Primitive clothes for the native people and traders bringing in wealth and the knowledge ( as depicted in the movie) - Seal used to show an heirarchy( as depcited in the movie) - Language used ( as depicted in the movie) I can go on and on. None of these point ot any factual view. The over all hidden message given in this movie is in-line with the analysis by Rajiv.
I am not dismissing Rajiv's comments. It depends on the how one interprets. I agreed with him on two points - absence of Sanskrit and total negligence of Yoga. Regarding clothes if you see the indus nude clay models, they wear clothes which closely resembles what the movie depicted. we dont know what those seal meant even now. that's why they left the script as a "silent" form. seals cannot be hierarchy at least I dont see it that way... we do even now need passports to enter foreign nation (like Hrithik enters one half of the city) ..that doesnt imply there is a hierarchy. Also there is nothing absolute Indic and absolute foreign...we have imported somethings from them, and exported mathematics, arts, spices and even mercenaries since ancient times. I hope we dont get paranoid over these things! I was more concerned about the fall of indus valley civilization..here they chose the line as obtained from recent studies by Rajesh Rao, ronojoy adhikari and few others in IIT Kgp. even we have evidence of cattle movement towards east India..which they show here as well...now whether we as a nation are all linked to indus people, is yet to be proved genetically - there is of course no other way to prove that.
Please view the video again. He's questioning the analogy set by leftists that horses came from foreign so Sanskrit, Vedas, Bhakti etc must have come from outside as well. Leftist point of view that north and south Indian DNA being different somehow means an invasion or immigration, that alone is stupid and unbacked enough.

I am from South of India, follow Rajiv Ji rigorously, I am so proud of your work, I am so lucky I am living in your times. Rajive Ji my question is, how to take these whole facts to our less educated masses? it's so Important and also we know that there will be no political support for this efforts.. how Rajiv Ji?
Good Analysis. I picked a lot of idea while I watched the movie myself. Rajivji made some conclusions which I concur with and totally agree. Neither me, nor Rajivji existed during this period. As a viewer, I would say, Movie is poorly made, tho the budget was big. "Troy" I would give kudos over Mohenjadaro as it had more entertainment juice. Regarding tampering with history, I guess I would take this movie as an entertainment element, (but for sure not all in our country would do that). History is written by victors, and the rules are set by them for the academies, to inculcate and propagate what is required to be known by the coming generation. Good work by Rajivji, I like what you do and your passion. Trust me, the concept of Vedic culture and sanatana dharma would also have been propagated in the same manner as any other Abrahamic religion in the Sub continent isn't it? At the end of the day, controlling human lives has been the reason for all these games!! I love my roots, origin and the MY WAY of life, but I am not yet fanatic.
Sri Rajiv ji, a brief & clear picture of our history has been revealed by this video. With this lense any other shots / films can be detected very very easily.
Indians need an excellent site which can provide correct and detailed information on Indian history, culture and people. And this site needs to be made famous and mainstream. So that people don't go to wikipedia or other sites whose information is either not correct or is not updated and is maintained by Western and Arab countries.
I don't get what is it about the movie that's western 'West' what we refer to as today didn't even exist back then Major contemporary civilizations were egyptian and mesopotamians who reffered to our ancestors as melluha.

My Salute to sir Rajiv malhotra I am regular follower of his all video, the greatest part I like in him is you can't hit and run all these years we are been dictated false history. False people etc, he is the one who react to it when he feels its wrong his voice is loud unlike other including myself we have habit of telling chalta hey.... That must stop we need to retaliate
Amazing analysis Rajivji. Now I know what to look for. Thanks for such an eye opening insight. Shame on these Indologist bolywood nexus of demeaning Hindu tradition.
it will go in dustbin like everyone knows about dwarka but no gov officials will go and search its will wipe all the history of Aryan theory and they will lost their great game ...
Thank you Mr. Rajiv for raising valid points.People should visit National Mueseum in Delhi to watch the Real Seals of harrapa culture There is God Shiva sitting in Yogic Posture Pottery Artefacts etc from where you can find the glimpse of actual Harrapan Sites.There is no river goddess or God shiva in European culture.So when people try to distort our history why not censor board raise such issues. pls. show your kids the real history instead of going for such movies.Believe all things happening around in movies or T.v today are meant to destroy our culture.so don't fall into their trap and save your Heritage and culture and be proud of your culture lineage.
My two cents: Bunk past theories if you want to but now we have unique insights from genealogy which should be analysed and all these competing ideologies should be verified based on this fact.
Thank you Rajiv Ji, for your excellent review ! I hope we can make a movie soon, to express true History of Hinduism and India, as discussed in your books, with modern archaeological evidence, to overcome this propaganda-movie based on 'Videshi Indology' and 'Western Academic Hinduphobia", .
I don't get what is it about the movie that's western 'West' what we refer to as today didn't even exist back then Major contemporary civilizations were egyptian and mesopotamians who reffered to our ancestors as melluha.

It is clear that Ashutosh is conveying a message contrary to commonly known Indian stand on the subject. One can deduce that people who have funded the movie have set an agenda. based on their overall interest. Rajivjii has done well to highlight the points which need to borne in mind while watching the movie....
OIT is dismissed because they do not offer a linguistic explanation for the obvious relationships between Greek, Latin and Sanskrit. Kazanas, Koenraad Elst and now Igor A Tonoyan Belyavev have presented serious arguments on this issue. Premier institutions in India can and should offer courses in comparative linguistic and train a new generation of scholars who are qualified to have dialogue with European IE scholars. In other words "we" have to study Greek and Latin because "they" have studied Sanskrit.
ashutosh gowaliker did this in jodha akbar too where he potrayed akbar as a benevolent ruler and now indians have got an impression that akbar was a benign king .....in akbarnama though akbar has himself boasted about hindus killings and islams supremacy ......people are really deluded by such skewed movies ........every historical movie should follow the indian narrative rather than western narrative and artistic liberty shouldnt be given as a justification for making movies .......a historical movie should be checked by govt officals before allowing it ......i think its the failure of modi govt to let this movie come; u cant just fuckin distort the damn history .. ....on a nice note the movie got flopped anyhow so akshay kumar should be given credit too
Really enjoyed your talk. I believe there was a civilization existing in Southern India. It is a part of our national assimilation. Calling ourselves as Hindus alone. disturbs the thinking process. Tks for your talk

Very intelligent observations. This is exactly how Indian media also works. They give motivated messages in a subtle and concealed way. the filmmaker has actually aligned with AIT. RM is very right that a similar movie were to be made about a moghal monument, there would have been a controversy.
every day i see atleast 2 to 3 videos of you sir. its very informative of indian history. but why connt our news channels have 30min programme about indian history insted of showing same waste info again and again in the same day
Rajiv Ji is doing an amazing work .We thank n salute him for all the effort.All Hindus should read the Gita n Ramayan daily.So that our culture is preserved.Now Indian households should take special effort to teach Hindu religious books, n art form to preserve them.Otherwise it will be lost in some time.Ram Ji,s temple should be built immediately.So that Hindus get strength from it.Kaliyug is fast spreading .मंद बुद्धि असंसकारी ,झगडा लू लोग कामी कपटी, उपर आएंगे।सभ्य लोग साधू ,लोग डर कर छिप जायेंगे। Meaning of Kaliyuga is where stupid people keep on fighting all the time for small things.While the real issue is neglected.or sidetracked.Our greedy politicians need lot of money to win election s so they comprise on many important things.It is a visions circle. Saints like Swami Ramdev Ji are doing good work to keep our culture intact.We should also support Bharat swabhiman manch...Hindus respect other religion s the are inherent my secular.Nobody should teach them tolerance n secularism. We should speed the message of Gita.on a war level.Make Gita compulsory in schools.
Thank you Sir for your continued enlightenment. Your unwavering commitment to lead us into the light is our good fortune. Blessings to you and wishing you eternal life, in your quest to educate and guide us to the TRUTH!
A good objective review that is assertive, but without rancour. Hoping to see more and more such analysis and deconstruction of false narratives that have taken deep roots and colonized us.
Well the more I read I get an impression that there are baggers on both side. West is mesmerised by the Vedic past of the Indian civilization and so trying to manufacture N-numbers of hypothesis to become a part of it and claim it as their's. On the other hand Indian historian are literally beggers to go any extent to support this claim for money and cheap politics in India. But as they get closure there crops up a millions of unanswered question with no appropriate answer which try to cover up symbolically. In few years time Indian intellectuals and historian will soon change their position as more and more Indians become intetested in original history of India and won't read any bullshit which is not genuine with our ethos and feelings. For them it will still be for money, maybe, or else die of hunger whereas the western scholar will have audience left.
As an older American who studied the Vedas w/ Maharishi, I was always suspsicious of the Eurocentric (and of course Middle Eastern) cult of Archeology... MMY did on occasions refer to the nature of Human existence, the Vedas as the blue print of creation, and the cyclical nature, (yugas) as opposed to the linear theory of Humanity and lingustics. The first time I read about the IVC struck me as a revelation at the time (1970s) and wondered why were didnt study it like Greaco Roman and Mesopotamian and Chinese civilizations. The MMY did explain the idea that WRITING is the indication of the fall of civilizations, not an advance. Memory is a human ability destroyed by writing. The idea that the IVC on uses symbology for trade does sort of make sense to me. MMY taught us mantra meditation, as well as general yogic practice, though he never said much about the the Agni Hotra, which I have learned to appreciate... anyway.. I am spacing out, my point was, I never heard a better explanation about what is going on now with an ineviditable growth of Vedic teachings, and I am glad India is starting to bring it so much to a reasoned conversation... I had not heard about the movie... but the rest of this video was so very interesting to me, I want to find out more about those new sites you mentioned, thanks for posting this in English!!! (my kids studied a little devanagri in elementary school, in Fairfield IA, USA!!!!!!
Inadequate and incomplete understanding of History leads to all confusions of identity. And if one has command over such influential media of communications as cinema, it becomes imperative for the filmmaker to exercise supreme care and caution in picturing such issues. Such a Great Research was conducted by Dr. G. V. Iyer (in Adi Shankaracharya), Dr. Ramanand Sagar (in Ramayan) and Dr. Baldev Raj Chopra (in Mahabharat). It is an absolute sham that today we are seeing such lows in television and film cinema.
But i don't understand why would ashutosh gowariker try to do something like that? i mean try to make it all look like the culture and heritage, the vedas and sanskrit come from the middle east? he's and indian right?
Sahaj Kuldeep Indian by birth but with "colonized mind" Indians have every reason to be paranoid as every Indian is confused about it's identity. As Rajiv says it "the grand narrative".
Vagasravasa, desirous of heavenly rewards, gave at a sacrifice all that he possessed. He had a son by the name of Nakiketas. A very intriguing story, with lots of similarity to the Christian crucifixion story, which of course follows it by at least 1500 years. Damyata, Datta, Diadem. The first of these is very similar to Salaam, suggesting some link between Sanskrit and the Semitic languages. It is certainly a puzzle that the horse sacrifice is so central to the Upanishads, and yet Mohenjo Daro contains no references to the horse, only to very large cattle. According to the Upanishads, some high priest or even God, meditates and this action creates various animals. This is actually shown on one of the seals found in the Indus Valley Culture. But no horses. A big puzzle.
sir,, why don't you file a petition against this film that it should be banned, the Mohenjo-Daro is a controversial topic and if anyone wants to make a love story, they can make it on any other town or village. Sir, hit a controversy, make some controversial statements...and gain popularity in India. Your message will spread like fire in India
Movie makers do indulge in some research work before producing such films. That'll. They have utter disregard for scientific deductions much less Indian values. They are ready to glorify foreign ethos inimical to India & after sometime everything becomes a mess. You have thoroughly dismantled the research of the film. We don't have information to understand the civilisation. Thank you sir! for Portaying such a nice issue with such a conviction.
I have just started to awaken and the more research I do, I can't overcome the overwhelming odds against our true Indian history(Afghanistan, Pakistan & India included as one entity). Venomous Distortion & systematic defacement of Hinduism and our culture,our rich heritage and the credit it deserves is being wiped out. Before educating the world about it we should emphasis on educating our fellow Indians who need to be faced with this catastrophy and reality. In this Civic society with mutual respect and blessed with the Constitution ,our army and good governance ,I am sure everybody will want the truth to come out and recorded in world and national history. All the great leaders should come together and be the missionaries of truth and justice to our india
Thanks Rajiv Sir for your detailed analysis and pointing out the stand taken by the film maker. You roused the curiosity in me to watch this movie even more.
Historical drama is often if not usually about the audience it is intended for. Although they blur history these constructions can be incredible snapshots of the time they were made. Thank you sir for this outstanding analysis. I learned something today.
Art direction was so good in the movie . When i was in 7 th std i read about it . And when i went for movie i was 40 years old . Two storyed building bricks swimming pool what a magnificent and exact set up by art director i felt i did time travel to 5000 years back city
In Mahabharat , it's clearly written about that Gandhari's daughter and only sister of 106 brothers was married to Indu river area king.Kashmir is also mentioned and Gandhar, Afghanistan is mentioned.
Great commentary. Good, enlightening insights. Let me share a side story about when I was a tenant of a Pakistani meat shop come Bollywood movie rental shop. I noticed that the main business was Bollywood rentals. The meat was beef of course, and was bought as a courtesy, and handed over wrapped in Urdu newspapers, sometimes in Arabic newspapers. Point to note was that the owner spent 90% of his time making illegal copies and taking on the job of 'editing' the content of said movies. The undercurrent narrative that you disclose is very much a personal and government crusade of Pakistan at all levels, top to bottom. The word ' moral' as is Pak. Faujj ka moral is a big word in Pak. media. Psychological warfare ! Pakistan and its ISI's greatest achievement is the penetration if the Indian pschye through it's Dowwod and sidekick Chittagong Shakeel, various Maulvis-Maulanas-Kazis and the left to liberal left layers of India in all of India's walks of life. The danger maybe is in a diehard Indian right wing radicalization type mass swing. Pakistan is well on it's way to a Taliban style society, India's response maybe equally worrisome.
This simply shows that we are ashamed to call everything great as India. If it is great, it must have been imported! I despise Bollywood for all the nonsense it shows.
I have found 3 different locations for this movie in YT and posted a direct link back here for viewers to watch before watching the movie itself. Hopefully, this will drive some traffic here.
Didn’t see this movie, already knew all this intuitively. They missed the Mark :( Dr. Rajiv ji is right!! For all...water is purest at the source...we need a new Mohan jo Daro movie
I didn't even know there was a "Mohenjo Daro" movie. But from my perspective it seems like people in that part of the world are not very interested in archeology. Perhaps that is why they need a film... to make it come alive, as a subject.
Hard to believe the Hindus who converted to Islam have more loyalty to Middle East than the the land they live in. Only Afghans say they are Afghans first and then Muslims. They are considered immatured by the world, mistakenly.
Sir, please, in order to give more value to our longing eyes & to the 'things' we see, opt boldly for 1080p instead of keeping your video's resolution at 360p, a very low resolution. Thank you.
When he says that this civilization was half the size of Europe, what regions was it stretching from? Such as from Afghanistan to India or something else?
Wow! So Brahmins came from Eurasia! Dravidians are South Indians!! I read that in the history book in Pakistan and also the Mauryan Empire and Ashoka! Learning abt history is always fascinating!
Sir such movies are shame for native Sanatan society and you pointed out many facts, which were missing and so as a result of which, exactly such movie turned out as flop by native Sanatan society. They did the same earlier with the movie Ashoka. Narration of Sanatan culture is done only by a Sanatan and that is director Raj Mauli from South India. Though there is lot he has to work on but see Baahubali movie please. I feel ashamed about bollywood after watching such South movies. One of the most corrupt institutes of Bhaarat is bollywood which has done immense loss to Bhaarat. This a hub of radical hidden jehadis which glorifies looters, invaders, outsiders, occupiers and often attack native Sanatan Dharam time to time. Its so clear to see how bollywood deliberately injecting urdu to our society whose national language is Hindi. Radicalism is always there but in hidden form. Analyse how many ghazals and kawali bollywood throws out every year and nothing in case of Bhajans, Doha, Sanskrit chants, pure Devnagri songs. This radical mindset which rotates around looter muslim invader is always there. There is no single movie who says a looter, invader a looter invader. Rather they glorifies it. Who the hell on the earth glorifies any outsider, looter or invader? congress deliberate contribution in distortion of history and culture of Bhaarat is always there. deliberate appointment of radicals like romila thapar and irfan habib was done by congress which ruined the work of Majumdaar, though Majumdaar was too not sincere in portraying Sanatan Dharam. See how in history pages of Bhaarat's medival empires portray Bhaaratiya empires covering asia to zorastrian belt including afganistan etc in one page but than how even Majumdaar deliberately glorify muslim looters and invaders. glorifying mughal looters and lie about akbar and his invaded region is so false. I mean 70% of Bhaarat was out of his reach and many always have a revolt against foreign looter who use to speak persian ( not even Bhaaratiya native language). I think congress deliberately taught in school syllabus hatred about Sanatan Dharam in the place where Sanatan Dharam was born long before any abrahamic religion ever existed. bbc documntry has a weird heading, which was Indian conquest by british. See how much lie western media feeds their people. bbc deliberately changed the word loot, misery, invasion, occupation with conquest. I hope if same is done to UK than they won't see it as conquest. What loss british did to Bhaarat is kept in history now and everybody knows these looters who feeds on lie and false propaganda. Being history student we know about Sanatan Indus valley or Harappa or Mohan -jo-daro study that they use to worship Shivalinga, they have Sanatan Hindu Temples. And the language they use was Sanskrit along with symbolic meanings. For sure it pisses looters, invaders, occupiers. So a lie and propaganda is fed by west. But all these things are mere Sanatan. There is no Aryan word ever. This is the dumbness of western so called scholors. The word is 'Arya' which is in Vedas and Ramayana and mahaBharata which refers to great warrior Kshatriyas. muslims and western malicious people cooked many stories which the world oldest religion 'Sanatan Dharam' considers a mere failed conspiracy against it. Sanatan scriptures refers very very clearly 'Aryavrat', 'AryaPutr' words often and its clear about native Sanatan Kshatriya warriors. I think Sanatan Dharam must have thier own historic records kept well safe and no malicious westerner like pollock and such malicious works must be given any importance. In fact any such people name must be blacklisted within those records and to maintian proper history their name must be written as the malicious outsider who tried to distort Sanskrit. So I mean, the authenticity about Sanatan Dharam and Sanskrit must be taken into accounts of native historic record which can only be allowed to access after looking the person's background. If vatican funded pollack tries to access such records than such people and their foreign degree must not be recognized by the caretakers. There must be systemattic records about Yoga too and clear mention of Yoga as Sanatan entity. It must be written as to how west is acting malicious by preaching that jesus use to do yoga and shits. Such things must be recorded and we need to write the notes as to how Sanatan Yoga is propagated as christian yoga by west. These records will tomorrow become history. West is known to distort history because west feeds on lie. This must be stopped. There must be notes as how many infinite places west propagate lie, propaganda and hatred. Indian Yoga and Indian Ayurveda must not recognize any foreign university earned degree.To make their identity Germany and US are stealing Sanatan gift to the world. No distortion of history will be allowed.
+True. Such false movies are a shame to Hindu society, Bollywood is a shame. Nehru and Congrees tried to defame Hindus. Gandhi also tried to spoil Hinduism. He even got Hindu refugee children from Pakistan thrown out in the cold night when it was raining and they were hungry and cold. Gandhi was very cruel towards Hindus.
Why Hindu patriotic producers, directors, financers display real history to counter mispropaganda? Lectures of this high caliber have limited audience or following. Movie is more effective & approachable to masses. We can certainly make more impressive movies to educate real history to our people who are being emotionaly exploited & denationalised.
Mr. Rajiv ,a Youth movement has to be started and associated with ur organization so they understand our history and propagate it throughout the globe aggressively at each and every forum
Rakhigarhi, Rakhi Garhi (Rakhi Shahpur + Rakhi Khas), is a village in Hisar District in the state of Haryana in India, situated 150 kilometers to the northwest of Delhi. It is the site of a pre-Indus Valley Civilisationsettlement going back to about 6500 BCE.[2]Later, it was also part of the mature Indus Valley Civilisation, dating to 2600-1900 BCE.[3]The site is located in the Sarasvati riverplain,[4] some 27 km from the seasonal Ghaggar river.
In wikipedia (although it's not reliable it has some merit of being the largest database and atleast provides a general idea on any topic) on Saraswati river; "The identification with the Ghaggar-Hakra system took on new significance in the early 21st century,[19] with some suggesting an earlier dating of the Rig Veda; renaming the Indus Valley Civilisation as the "Sarasvati culture", the "Sarasvati Civilization", the "Indus-Sarasvati Civilization" or the "Sindhu-Sarasvati Civilization,"[20][21][22] suggesting that the Indus Valley and Vedic cultures can be equated;[23] and rejecting the Indo-Aryan migrations theory, which postulates a migration at 1500 BCE.[e][f] This alleged equation is incompatible with linguistic and archeological evidence, which shows striking differences between the two cultures.[24]" Now this citation numbered 24 quotes, who else but 'Raomila Thapar', I know Shree Rajiv ji mentions her as a scholar and with due respect, yadda yadda.....but she is a snake. So disgusting 'making a hole in the plate she eats from.'
Great Analysis Rajivji. Many other Hindi, Telugu & Tamil movies have noticed lot of subtle plantings done by Christians either in the form of major scenes in church or a good person wearing a cross prominently or missionaries doing lot of good work, hindu priests as greedy or the swamis as corrupt. This has been going on for the past 25 years as I can see in Hindi and 15 years ago it has started creeping into Telugu movies about the same time the evangelists have become very agressive in Andhra under YSR and they even wanted part of Tirupati for a church.
Totally insecure personalities. .
Are you half asleep when you are typing cause it sounds like a dream??
I don't get what is it about the movie that's western
'West' what we refer to as today didn't even exist back then
Major contemporary civilizations were egyptian and mesopotamians who reffered to our ancestors as melluha. Indus Valley civilization was clearly not vedic. Yes they should have shown more proto dravidian influence in movie but because of the different proposed theories, it's not easy to portray something and ignore something else. Horses weren't Clearly a part of indus civilization do I don't understand why that's an issue. People driven by hindu nationalism calling for camcelling this and that is extremely ignorant. There's no need to spread islamophobia or even relate or compare islam with indus Valley civilization because which emerged about 4-5 thousand years later after civilization.
It is high time we Indians, us youths realise the reality about our own selves and filter out the bullshit we've been fed all through our lives.
Entire land of Pakistan,Kashmir,Bangladesh was Hindus nation then. Pakistan is only 60yrs old,but, original India, (Pakistan+India+Entire Kashmir+Bangladesh) history is 4500yrs old ruled by small and powerful hindu kings. Islam from Arabia attacked Original India 800years back, and for 600years since then converted millions of Hindus under weak Hindu kings to Islam forcefully, brutally, destroyed temples(it is estimated 56000 ) to that extent,that locals forgot their hindu ancistory(especially in Pakisthan ,Kashmir,Bangladesh).These enslaved Hindu population,who were already experts of building beautifully carved sculpted hindu,jain,buddha temples ,were forced to build foreign Arab Islam Culture in Original India(Pakistan+India+Entire Kashmir+Bangladesh) at the expense of Hindu temples. Islam also cut actual India in to Pakisthan+Inida+Bangladesh by 1947. Even today, Islam is Creating Trouble in lans of India. All Muslims of Pakistan+Kashmir+Bangladesh and those in India should go back to their roots, which is Hindu-ancestors and convert back to Hinduism and reject Islam which belongs to foreign Arabia. Islam 'Dose not belong to Pakistan or India Or Kashmir or Bangladesh'. Islam is foreign from Arabia. Only Hindu,Buddha,Jain, Sikh cultures belong here, and are branches of Hinduism
Satya Sarma If you read real history u will find during the time of Bikkramaditha 2nd chandragupta Saudi Arabia was a part of Hindustan.
@@satyasarma1472 it goes till Kabul Kandahar , gandhara , Laos , Indonesia an huge nation we had which got divided.
Vishesh Raj Srivastava pls tell these to ppl who watch Kunal kamra
religion is not about what you want to believe in, it is about what you believe in, if a person believes that certain religion is the right path you couldn't and shouldn't force them out of it, your concept about religion to destroyed, religion isn't about what our ancestors followed, it doesn't matter if our ancestors are Hindu, christen, jew or Sikh, what we believe in is our religion, what our ancestor belived was their religion .
Revealing. Never knew about the movie. The subtle influence of Saudi finance is evident all over Bollywood.
What does that mean sir?
It is absolutely imperative that the Western narratives of ancient Indian history be reviewed and corrected and presented to the younger generation so that they march forward with confidence and self respect towards the growth of India as a hard and soft global power.
Mr. Malhotra is awesome. I just came to know about him a few days before. It's a shame that I din't realise how amazing some of our personalities are.. He is an amazing personality
The government and department of archaelogy has to come into full force. The Archeological survey of India has a lot of info but that is not being taught in NCERT.
Absolutely it's not taught as country so called pseudo sickularizm will be spoiled by showing true history that's what s.l. bhyarappa ji told ncert does to show wrong history to child to manipulate they're mind that's I'll say support swami ramdevji Gurukul it gives vedic as well as modern education .
Facts are mostly distorted in Indian history by the west or european historian because some of the greedy Indians who were so influenced with the west that they forgot their roots and sold their soul for money . Now the time has come when we need to make a move like " Ten COMMANDMENTS " ( a 1956 biblical epic)directed by Cecil B DeMile (which I consider was sponsored by Vatican to market the Christianity)to tell the true history of Saraswat Valley Civilisation. Movies like MOHENJO DARO are made with the sole purpose to make money and has nothing to do with history or the its civilization. Unless the Hindu brotherhood understand the onslaught of the west we will not be able to protect our heritage and religion.
Thank you for this! My ancestors were Irish, and forced to adopt an alien faith through rivers of blood....nearly all books burned. The language of sandscrit (i have sung it) is beautiful and must be very ancient to be so sophisticated, and the "hindu" faith is beautiful. I trust the mahabarata long before i trust some crusty historian with no original thought in his head. You have a beautiful and ancient culture...mine was mostly erased, and i am glad at least you have so much of yours...hold on to it, it is a great treasure. I am so glad to see you defend it with such vigor!
You nailed it Rajiv sir. We all need to learn correct history, pass on correct information on our heritage and stay united on our cultural roots against those who believe in creating propaganda. They don't have any meaningful roots to cherish about so they definitely like to hijack our roots to showcase as theirs. Those who agree with me please support Rajiv Sir by whatever means you can and like this comment so that the message is reached to everyone. Namah shivay.
First of all thank you +Rajiv Malhotra Official . Even thought I am commenting almost after 2 years, I do agree with all the points. I would like to point out 2 more things.
1. The Timeline of the Movie is NOT quite clear and for say, if we assume that Mohenjo Daro was at its peak, they should have seen River Saraswati before seeing Ganga. And Saraswati was the mightiest of those three.
2. According to Vedic Tradition, Sindhu and Brahamaputra are MALE rivers. BUT in the movie they kept on saying "Sindhu Maa"...
Really appreciate the work you are doing for Bharath and Sanathan Dharma. A true Karma Yogi. Got to know about Gowarikar's view point before the release. Hence skipped the movie. This is the best way to teach these guys a lesson. All people in Media and Bollywood who peddle lies about Current Bharath and its History need to be boycotted in a commercial way so that they feel the heat. Unless we do that, we will be encouraging them to produce more such stuff and funding them.
Too hard for a society to swallow pure intelligence when it has been drugged by movies and biased motivated characters. I think these kind of reviews should be done by more of us, so SRM need not have to dilute his attention. The fact that he has taken time to do this review highlights the importance of the reach of junk that is being peddled.
I have few comments on the review. I have been following your work since 2009/2010 and read your books Breaking India, Indra's Net, Being Different and Battle for Sanskrit. I agree with two points you mentioned - absence of Sanskrit and total negligence of Yoga, given that we have seals of persons in Bhadrasana pose. But I dont agree with your intrepretation of some of the scenes. The first thing which came to my mind when they mention Mesopotamia, Egypt, Arab, Uzbek is about trade and not middle-east influence as you mentioned here. The final scene of flood is in parallel with evidence observed by George F Dales, which led to dismissal of invasion by Wheeler. Current studies published in PNAS based on monsson data provides evidence that rising sea-levels and subsequent drough of 200 years led to fall of Mohenjodaro. Also there is no sign of mortal combat wounds in the skeletons. So Ashutosh didnt go by the western lens of Aryan Invasion. The ending with Mohenjodaro people inhabiting the Gangetic plains is far fetched and no concrete evidence exists, even though many Indians tend to believe in this hypothesis. Lastly, the movie has been trashed by several marxist-leftist critics as a Hindutva conspiracy (which it is not). It is typical Manmohan Desai 80s potboilers set in Indus-Saraswati civilization. after watching the movie I have decided to visit Dholavira and Rakhigarhi. If the movie generates debate then its a good thing as well - our people will develop interest on our civilizational past.
Thanks for your knowledge on the subject. Here are the few points to consider - Depiction of arrival of Horse ( as depicted in the movie)
- Trading ( as depicted in the movie)
- Primitive clothes for the native people and traders bringing in wealth and the knowledge ( as depicted in the movie)
- Seal used to show an heirarchy( as depcited in the movie)
- Language used ( as depicted in the movie)
I can go on and on. None of these point ot any factual view. The over all hidden message given in this movie is in-line with the analysis by Rajiv.
I am not dismissing Rajiv's comments. It depends on the how one interprets. I agreed with him on two points - absence of Sanskrit and total negligence of Yoga. Regarding clothes if you see the indus nude clay models, they wear clothes which closely resembles what the movie depicted. we dont know what those seal meant even now. that's why they left the script as a "silent" form. seals cannot be hierarchy at least I dont see it that way... we do even now need passports to enter foreign nation (like Hrithik enters one half of the city) ..that doesnt imply there is a hierarchy. Also there is nothing absolute Indic and absolute foreign...we have imported somethings from them, and exported mathematics, arts, spices and even mercenaries since ancient times. I hope we dont get paranoid over these things! I was more concerned about the fall of indus valley civilization..here they chose the line as obtained from recent studies by Rajesh Rao, ronojoy adhikari and few others in IIT Kgp. even we have evidence of cattle movement towards east India..which they show here as well...now whether we as a nation are all linked to indus people, is yet to be proved genetically - there is of course no other way to prove that.
Please view the video again. He's questioning the analogy set by leftists that horses came from foreign so Sanskrit, Vedas, Bhakti etc must have come from outside as well. Leftist point of view that north and south Indian DNA being different somehow means an invasion or immigration, that alone is stupid and unbacked enough.

I am from South of India, follow Rajiv Ji rigorously, I am so proud of your work, I am so lucky I am living in your times. Rajive Ji my question is, how to take these whole facts to our less educated masses? it's so Important and also we know that there will be no political support for this efforts.. how Rajiv Ji?
awesome, I was eyeing on this. I knew the world will receive some inputs related to Mohenjo-Daro from you (Shri Rajiv Malhotra).
Good Analysis. I picked a lot of idea while I watched the movie myself. Rajivji made some conclusions which I concur with and totally agree. Neither me, nor Rajivji existed during this period. As a viewer, I would say, Movie is poorly made, tho the budget was big. "Troy" I would give kudos over Mohenjadaro as it had more entertainment juice. Regarding tampering with history, I guess I would take this movie as an entertainment element, (but for sure not all in our country would do that). History is written by victors, and the rules are set by them for the academies, to inculcate and propagate what is required to be known by the coming generation. Good work by Rajivji, I like what you do and your passion. Trust me, the concept of Vedic culture and sanatana dharma would also have been propagated in the same manner as any other Abrahamic religion in the Sub continent isn't it? At the end of the day, controlling human lives has been the reason for all these games!! I love my roots, origin and the MY WAY of life, but I am not yet fanatic.
Sri Rajiv ji, a brief & clear picture of our history has been revealed by this video. With this lense any other shots / films can be detected very very easily.
Indians need an excellent site which can provide correct and detailed information on Indian history, culture and people. And this site needs to be made famous and mainstream. So that people don't go to wikipedia or other sites whose information is either not correct or is not updated and is maintained by Western and Arab countries.
I don't get what is it about the movie that's western

My Salute to sir Rajiv malhotra I am regular follower of his all video, the greatest part I like in him is you can't hit and run all these years we are been dictated false history. False people etc, he is the one who react to it when he feels its wrong his voice is loud unlike other including myself we have habit of telling chalta hey.... That must stop we need to retaliate
Very informative and useful for students of the ancient history of India. In 1980's I came across Majumdar's works.
Great work Rajivji ! I am afraid you will be labelled right wing, though you are not.
Amazing analysis Rajivji. Now I know what to look for. Thanks for such an eye opening insight. Shame on these Indologist bolywood nexus of demeaning Hindu tradition.
Over 10,500 years old camping site discovered in Ladakh
it will go in dustbin like everyone knows about dwarka but no gov officials will go and search its will wipe all the history of Aryan theory and they will lost their great game ...
it's not a big deal, bank of Ganga already have reach history more than 10000 year ago
Thank you Mr. Rajiv for raising valid points.People should visit National Mueseum in Delhi to watch the Real Seals of harrapa culture There is God Shiva sitting in Yogic Posture Pottery Artefacts etc from where you can find the glimpse of actual Harrapan Sites.There is no river goddess or God shiva in European culture.So when people try to distort our history why not censor board raise such issues.
pls. show your kids the real history instead of going for such movies.Believe all things happening around in movies or T.v today are meant to destroy our culture.so don't fall into their trap and save your Heritage and culture and be proud of your culture lineage.
He is Malhotraji not Mr. Dixit
Mr. Dixit was murdered long ago by the leftists. Try to correct your comment if you like.
We are our own enemies on history rather foreigners becoming our enimies pl. let us know and reform ourselves.
Thank you sir. Got to know more about India's old civilisations like Rakhigarhi & birhana.
Its awesome. its time to wake up n make the real history of india.
Waiting for Sonia and Rahul to get out of their mentally prescribed asylum to address these issues.
My two cents: Bunk past theories if you want to but now we have unique insights from genealogy which should be analysed and all these competing ideologies should be verified based on this fact.
Thank you Rajiv for your eye-opening insights
Great insights...of the movie.Why are the westerners more concerned of our Vedas please they should mind their own religion and not meddle in ours..
thanks we hindus need to wake up
Wake up and accept Aryan Migration Theory which has now been proven by all areas of science.
Thank you Rajiv Ji, for your excellent review !
I hope we can make a movie soon, to express true History of Hinduism and India, as discussed in your books, with modern archaeological evidence, to overcome this propaganda-movie based on 'Videshi Indology' and 'Western Academic Hinduphobia", .
I don't get what is it about the movie that's western

Great analysis rajivji. The presence of fire is there in funeral activities in the movie..
It is clear that Ashutosh is conveying a message contrary to commonly known Indian stand on the subject. One can deduce that people who have funded the movie have set an agenda. based on their overall interest. Rajivjii has done well to highlight the points which need to borne in mind while watching the movie....
OIT is dismissed because they do not offer a linguistic explanation for the obvious relationships between Greek, Latin and Sanskrit. Kazanas, Koenraad Elst and now Igor A Tonoyan Belyavev have presented serious arguments on this issue. Premier institutions in India can and should offer courses in comparative linguistic and train a new generation of scholars who are qualified to have dialogue with European IE scholars. In other words "we" have to study Greek and Latin because "they" have studied Sanskrit.
ashutosh gowaliker did this in jodha akbar too where he potrayed akbar as a benevolent ruler and now indians have got an impression that akbar was a benign king .....in akbarnama though akbar has himself boasted about hindus killings and islams supremacy ......people are really deluded by such skewed movies ........every historical movie should follow the indian narrative rather than western narrative and artistic liberty shouldnt be given as a justification for making movies .......a historical movie should be checked by govt officals before allowing it ......i think its the failure of modi govt to let this movie come; u cant just fuckin distort the damn history .. ....on a nice note the movie got flopped anyhow so akshay kumar should be given credit too
Atharv Bhartiya
Namaste 🙏
I am 100% agree with you.
Atharv Bhartiya thank God... I didn't like the movie....gowarikar isn't a good director.... like bansali
Really enjoyed your talk. I believe there was a civilization existing in Southern India. It is a part of our national assimilation. Calling ourselves as Hindus alone. disturbs the thinking process. Tks for your talk

Very intelligent observations. This is exactly how Indian media also works. They give motivated messages in a subtle and concealed way. the filmmaker has actually aligned with AIT. RM is very right that a similar movie were to be made about a moghal monument, there would have been a controversy.
I too felt the same like there is no Hindu kind of thing or no Sanskrit in the mohanjo daro movie trailer so that's why I didn't seen in this movie
Glad for this review. This movie is inspired by, coached by and mentored by Indologists. A gallery of lies.
An amazing insight rajivji. Tnx a lot
every day i see atleast 2 to 3 videos of you sir. its very informative of indian history.
but why connt our news channels have 30min programme about indian history insted of showing same waste info again and again in the same day
Rajiv Ji is doing an amazing work .We thank n salute him for all the effort.All Hindus should read the Gita n Ramayan daily.So that our culture is preserved.Now Indian households should take special effort to teach Hindu religious books, n art form to preserve them.Otherwise it will be lost in some time.Ram Ji,s temple should be built immediately.So that Hindus get strength from it.Kaliyug is fast spreading .मंद बुद्धि असंसकारी ,झगडा लू लोग कामी कपटी, उपर आएंगे।सभ्य लोग साधू ,लोग डर कर छिप जायेंगे। Meaning of Kaliyuga is where stupid people keep on fighting all the time for small things.While the real issue is neglected.or sidetracked.Our greedy politicians need lot of money to win election s so they comprise on many important things.It is a visions circle. Saints like Swami Ramdev Ji are doing good work to keep our culture intact.We should also support Bharat swabhiman manch...Hindus respect other religion s the are inherent my secular.Nobody should teach them tolerance n secularism. We should speed the message of Gita.on a war level.Make Gita compulsory in schools.
Thank you Sir for your continued enlightenment. Your unwavering commitment to lead us into the light is our good fortune. Blessings to you and wishing you eternal life, in your quest to educate and guide us to the TRUTH!
A good objective review that is assertive, but without rancour. Hoping to see more and more such analysis and deconstruction of false narratives that have taken deep roots and colonized us.
Very good observations
Well the more I read I get an impression that there are baggers on both side. West is mesmerised by the Vedic past of the Indian civilization and so trying to manufacture N-numbers of hypothesis to become a part of it and claim it as their's. On the other hand Indian historian are literally beggers to go any extent to support this claim for money and cheap politics in India. But as they get closure there crops up a millions of unanswered question with no appropriate answer which try to cover up symbolically. In few years time Indian intellectuals and historian will soon change their position as more and more Indians become intetested in original history of India and won't read any bullshit which is not genuine with our ethos and feelings. For them it will still be for money, maybe, or else die of hunger whereas the western scholar will have audience left.
As an older American who studied the Vedas w/ Maharishi, I was always suspsicious of the Eurocentric (and of course Middle Eastern) cult of Archeology... MMY did on occasions refer to the nature of Human existence, the Vedas as the blue print of creation, and the cyclical nature, (yugas) as opposed to the linear theory of Humanity and lingustics. The first time I read about the IVC struck me as a revelation at the time (1970s) and wondered why were didnt study it like Greaco Roman and Mesopotamian and Chinese civilizations. The MMY did explain the idea that WRITING is the indication of the fall of civilizations, not an advance. Memory is a human ability destroyed by writing. The idea that the IVC on uses symbology for trade does sort of make sense to me. MMY taught us mantra meditation, as well as general yogic practice, though he never said much about the the Agni Hotra, which I have learned to appreciate... anyway.. I am spacing out, my point was, I never heard a better explanation about what is going on now with an ineviditable growth of Vedic teachings, and I am glad India is starting to bring it so much to a reasoned conversation... I had not heard about the movie... but the rest of this video was so very interesting to me, I want to find out more about those new sites you mentioned, thanks for posting this in English!!! (my kids studied a little devanagri in elementary school, in Fairfield IA, USA!!!!!!
You r doing a great job job sir . Thanks for being there for all who are left alone for a crime being majority in there own County.
To be honest I got a headache looking at this movie.....but a good perspective from Mr.Malhotra on forces which wants to break India
Boils my blood .. don't know what to do about it ....
awesome..video enlightens about biases in movies against the Indus valley civilisation
Inadequate and incomplete understanding of History leads to all confusions of identity. And if one has command over such influential media of communications as cinema, it becomes imperative for the filmmaker to exercise supreme care and caution in picturing such issues. Such a Great Research was conducted by Dr. G. V. Iyer (in Adi Shankaracharya), Dr. Ramanand Sagar (in Ramayan) and Dr. Baldev Raj Chopra (in Mahabharat). It is an absolute sham that today we are seeing such lows in television and film cinema.
Where were you hiding al these days, Mr. Enlightened?
This mischievous narrative can be best countered only by making a movie based on authentic history of Indus civilization.
But i don't understand why would ashutosh gowariker try to do something like that? i mean try to make it all look like the culture and heritage, the vedas and sanskrit come from the middle east? he's and indian right?
Sahaj Kuldeep Indian by birth but with "colonized mind" Indians have every reason to be paranoid as every Indian is confused about it's identity. As Rajiv says it "the grand narrative".
This is for all to watch
Very educational must watch
What a profound analysis of languages. Rajivji is debunking the falsity of Ashutoshji.
Brilliant insight !! As always by Rajiv ji
Vagasravasa, desirous of heavenly rewards, gave at a sacrifice all that he possessed. He had a son by the name of Nakiketas. A very intriguing story, with lots of similarity to the Christian crucifixion story, which of course follows it by at least 1500 years. Damyata, Datta, Diadem. The first of these is very similar to Salaam, suggesting some link between Sanskrit and the Semitic languages. It is certainly a puzzle that the horse sacrifice is so central to the Upanishads, and yet Mohenjo Daro contains no references to the horse, only to very large cattle. According to the Upanishads, some high priest or even God, meditates and this action creates various animals. This is actually shown on one of the seals found in the Indus Valley Culture. But no horses. A big puzzle.
Mr. Bhagwan GIDWANI has written a historical novel 'Return Of The Aryans' dealing with this subject.
After watching this I have decided to read all your books Thank you
sir,, why don't you file a petition against this film that it should be banned, the Mohenjo-Daro is a controversial topic and if anyone wants to make a love story, they can make it on any other town or village. Sir, hit a controversy, make some controversial statements...and gain popularity in India. Your message will spread like fire in India
Movie makers do indulge in some research work before producing such films. That'll. They have utter disregard for scientific deductions much less Indian values. They are ready to glorify foreign ethos inimical to India & after sometime everything becomes a mess. You have thoroughly dismantled the research of the film.
We don't have information to understand the civilisation.
Thank you sir! for Portaying such a nice issue with such a conviction.
I have just started to awaken and the more research I do, I can't overcome the overwhelming odds against our true Indian history(Afghanistan, Pakistan & India included as one entity). Venomous Distortion & systematic defacement of Hinduism and our culture,our rich heritage and the credit it deserves is being wiped out. Before educating the world about it we should emphasis on educating our fellow Indians who need to be faced with this catastrophy and reality. In this Civic society with mutual respect and blessed with the Constitution ,our army and good governance ,I am sure everybody will want the truth to come out and recorded in world and national history.
All the great leaders should come together and be the missionaries of truth and justice to our india
You just started to awaken?
Thanks Rajiv Sir for your detailed analysis and pointing out the stand taken by the film maker. You roused the curiosity in me to watch this movie even more.
you can never trust bollywood for making films based on truth.
Historical drama is often if not usually about the audience it is intended for. Although they blur history these constructions can be incredible snapshots of the time they were made. Thank you sir for this outstanding analysis. I learned something today.
Art direction was so good in the movie . When i was in 7 th std i read about it . And when i went for movie i was 40 years old . Two storyed building bricks swimming pool what a magnificent and exact set up by art director i felt i did time travel to 5000 years back city
Rajivji
Good job, I would like to lavishly appreciate you for the job you're doing.
Phenomenal analysis!
In Mahabharat , it's clearly written about that Gandhari's daughter and only sister of 106 brothers was married to Indu river area king.Kashmir is also mentioned and Gandhar, Afghanistan is mentioned.
Good critique !!!!
Great commentary. Good, enlightening insights. Let me share a side story about when I was a tenant of a Pakistani meat shop come Bollywood movie rental shop. I noticed that the main business was Bollywood rentals. The meat was beef of course, and was bought as a courtesy, and handed over wrapped in Urdu newspapers, sometimes in Arabic newspapers. Point to note was that the owner spent 90% of his time making illegal copies and taking on the job of 'editing' the content of said movies.
The undercurrent narrative that you disclose is very much a personal and government crusade of Pakistan at all levels, top to bottom. The word ' moral' as is Pak. Faujj ka moral is a big word in Pak. media.
Psychological warfare ! Pakistan and its ISI's greatest achievement is the penetration if the Indian pschye through it's Dowwod and sidekick Chittagong Shakeel, various Maulvis-Maulanas-Kazis and the left to liberal left layers of India in all of India's walks of life.
The danger maybe is in a diehard Indian right wing radicalization type mass swing. Pakistan is well on it's way to a Taliban style society, India's response maybe equally worrisome.
Rajiv seems very enthusiastic and happy in this video
This simply shows that we are ashamed to call everything great as India. If it is great, it must have been imported! I despise Bollywood for all the nonsense it shows.
I have found 3 different locations for this movie in YT and posted a direct link back here for viewers to watch before watching the movie itself. Hopefully, this will drive some traffic here.
Didn’t see this movie, already knew all this intuitively. They missed the Mark :( Dr. Rajiv ji is right!! For all...water is purest at the source...we need a new Mohan jo Daro movie
Islam did not even exist when Mohenjodaro was built.
Ashutoshji is low on research, and is simply feeding on the remains of theorists of Aryan-Invasion Theory.
Thank You Sir
Such perfectly worded review. Total dissection.
Superb explanation!
Movie was mocked heavily in India
Great to hear from you thanks sir
I didn't even know there was a "Mohenjo Daro" movie. But from my perspective it seems like people in that part of the world are not very interested in archeology. Perhaps that is why they need a film... to make it come alive, as a subject.
Hard to believe the Hindus who converted to Islam have more loyalty to Middle East than the the land they live in.
Only Afghans say they are Afghans first and then Muslims. They are considered immatured by the world, mistakenly.
Sir, please, in order to give more value to our longing eyes & to the 'things' we see, opt boldly for 1080p instead of keeping your video's resolution at 360p, a very low resolution. Thank you.
Unfortunately our current generation is least bothered whether India is shown as great or in poor light.
I am so proud of you Rajiv ji
When he says that this civilization was half the size of Europe, what regions was it stretching from? Such as from Afghanistan to India or something else?
just inspires to have a backbone
So inspiring Rajiv wonderful
Wow! So Brahmins came from Eurasia! Dravidians are South Indians!! I read that in the history book in Pakistan and also the Mauryan Empire and Ashoka! Learning abt history is always fascinating!
Sir such movies are shame for native Sanatan society and you pointed out many facts, which were missing and so as a result of which, exactly such movie turned out as flop by native Sanatan society. They did the same earlier with the movie Ashoka. Narration of Sanatan culture is done only by a Sanatan and that is director Raj Mauli from South India. Though there is lot he has to work on but see Baahubali movie please. I feel ashamed about bollywood after watching such South movies. One of the most corrupt institutes of Bhaarat is bollywood which has done immense loss to Bhaarat. This a hub of radical hidden jehadis which glorifies looters, invaders, outsiders, occupiers and often attack native Sanatan Dharam time to time. Its so clear to see how bollywood deliberately injecting urdu to our society whose national language is Hindi. Radicalism is always there but in hidden form. Analyse how many ghazals and kawali bollywood throws out every year and nothing in case of Bhajans, Doha, Sanskrit chants, pure Devnagri songs. This radical mindset which rotates around looter muslim invader is always there. There is no single movie who says a looter, invader a looter invader. Rather they glorifies it. Who the hell on the earth glorifies any outsider, looter or invader? congress deliberate contribution in distortion of history and culture of Bhaarat is always there. deliberate appointment of radicals like romila thapar and irfan habib was done by congress which ruined the work of Majumdaar, though Majumdaar was too not sincere in portraying Sanatan Dharam. See how in history pages of Bhaarat's medival empires portray Bhaaratiya empires covering asia to zorastrian belt including afganistan etc in one page but than how even Majumdaar deliberately glorify muslim looters and invaders. glorifying mughal looters and lie about akbar and his invaded region is so false. I mean 70% of Bhaarat was out of his reach and many always have a revolt against foreign looter who use to speak persian ( not even Bhaaratiya native language). I think congress deliberately taught in school syllabus hatred about Sanatan Dharam in the place where Sanatan Dharam was born long before any abrahamic religion ever existed. bbc documntry has a weird heading, which was Indian conquest by british. See how much lie western media feeds their people. bbc deliberately changed the word loot, misery, invasion, occupation with conquest. I hope if same is done to UK than they won't see it as conquest. What loss british did to Bhaarat is kept in history now and everybody knows these looters who feeds on lie and false propaganda. Being history student we know about Sanatan Indus valley or Harappa or Mohan -jo-daro study that they use to worship Shivalinga, they have Sanatan Hindu Temples. And the language they use was Sanskrit along with symbolic meanings. For sure it pisses looters, invaders, occupiers. So a lie and propaganda is fed by west. But all these things are mere Sanatan. There is no Aryan word ever. This is the dumbness of western so called scholors. The word is 'Arya' which is in Vedas and Ramayana and mahaBharata which refers to great warrior Kshatriyas. muslims and western malicious people cooked many stories which the world oldest religion 'Sanatan Dharam' considers a mere failed conspiracy against it. Sanatan scriptures refers very very clearly 'Aryavrat', 'AryaPutr' words often and its clear about native Sanatan Kshatriya warriors. I think Sanatan Dharam must have thier own historic records kept well safe and no malicious westerner like pollock and such malicious works must be given any importance. In fact any such people name must be blacklisted within those records and to maintian proper history their name must be written as the malicious outsider who tried to distort Sanskrit. So I mean, the authenticity about Sanatan Dharam and Sanskrit must be taken into accounts of native historic record which can only be allowed to access after looking the person's background. If vatican funded pollack tries to access such records than such people and their foreign degree must not be recognized by the caretakers. There must be systemattic records about Yoga too and clear mention of Yoga as Sanatan entity. It must be written as to how west is acting malicious by preaching that jesus use to do yoga and shits. Such things must be recorded and we need to write the notes as to how Sanatan Yoga is propagated as christian yoga by west. These records will tomorrow become history. West is known to distort history because west feeds on lie. This must be stopped. There must be notes as how many infinite places west propagate lie, propaganda and hatred. Indian Yoga and Indian Ayurveda must not recognize any foreign university earned degree.To make their identity Germany and US are stealing Sanatan gift to the world. No distortion of history will be allowed.
+True. Such false movies are a shame to Hindu society, Bollywood is a shame. Nehru and Congrees tried to defame Hindus. Gandhi also tried to spoil Hinduism. He even got Hindu refugee children from Pakistan thrown out in the cold night when it was raining and they were hungry and cold. Gandhi was very cruel towards Hindus.
bollywood shitty movies r always against Hinduism......
this film culturally appropriates Indian civilisation. It should be challenged in court.
In the film , Maham gets all the rules written on the wall indicating that it was a script!
Thank you Rajivji!
Why Hindu patriotic producers, directors, financers display real history to counter mispropaganda? Lectures of this high caliber have limited audience or following. Movie is more effective & approachable to masses. We can certainly make more impressive movies to educate real history to our people who are being emotionaly exploited & denationalised.
Mr. Rajiv ,a Youth movement has to be started and associated with ur organization so they understand our history and propagate it throughout the globe aggressively at each and every forum
Rakhigarhi, Rakhi Garhi (Rakhi Shahpur + Rakhi Khas), is a village in Hisar District in the state of Haryana in India, situated 150 kilometers to the northwest of Delhi. It is the site of a pre-Indus Valley Civilisationsettlement going back to about 6500 BCE.[2]Later, it was also part of the mature Indus Valley Civilisation, dating to 2600-1900 BCE.[3]The site is located in the Sarasvati riverplain,[4] some 27 km from the seasonal Ghaggar river.
In wikipedia (although it's not reliable it has some merit of being the largest database and atleast provides a general idea on any topic) on Saraswati river;
"The identification with the Ghaggar-Hakra system took on new significance in the early 21st century,[19] with some suggesting an earlier dating of the Rig Veda; renaming the Indus Valley Civilisation as the "Sarasvati culture", the "Sarasvati Civilization", the "Indus-Sarasvati Civilization" or the "Sindhu-Sarasvati Civilization,"[20][21][22] suggesting that the Indus Valley and Vedic cultures can be equated;[23] and rejecting the Indo-Aryan migrations theory, which postulates a migration at 1500 BCE.[e][f] This alleged equation is incompatible with linguistic and archeological evidence, which shows striking differences between the two cultures.[24]"
Now this citation numbered 24 quotes, who else but 'Raomila Thapar', I know Shree Rajiv ji mentions her as a scholar and with due respect, yadda yadda.....but she is a snake. So disgusting 'making a hole in the plate she eats from.'
Thx for enlighting us on indus civilisation
