Hey guys, Many things in the video that you watched are either inaccurate or false. The so called Aryan Invasion doesn't happen at all . It is a myth created by "Max Muller " and "Robert cadwill" to destroy the moral of Indians and convert them to Christianity by imposing mindset of European superiority. But actually, All of the Indians share common genetic heritage from south to north and east to west. And these genes are indigenous to India and can be found in people of Iran too.
Why India is so populated? In short...... people in India died less compare to rest of the world in history. India and China both have the same reason for large population. If you wish to learn more, there are many videos on TH-cam for that.
We Love you guys! Let's take a moment to acknowledge the efforts of this channel to bring our culture and civilization to the world. We appreciate you very much. Thank you very much. ♥️ from India 🙏🇮🇳
The Chola empire from south ruling more than 1000 years, which spread till the current day Indonesia to Iran and a huge influence in Korea, China, giving birth to the Kung-fu Marshall arts which travelled from south of India, Ahom dinasty from current day Assam and the east of Indian history is not touched upon, whom except British no one else could rule and much more.... It would be difficult to cover it all... But a good job done to sum up atleast 10% of the Indian history. And to answer your question, we learn about every country and history in India and respect all of it 🇮🇳🙏
Yes my friend is an Indian and he told me that they learn world history in school time... They have a special book for world history in each class off school ...indians know many country and their culture and their history😄😄
I will never understand why this video(that you reacted to) never mentioned Subash Chandra Bose!..its because of him that we have the 2nd largest army today that we are proud of!
Asians and East Asians more or less have connections with the Indian Empire. Like us in the Philippines were Sri Vijaya influenced reached out to us. One of the Greatest civilizations were in Asia. Yes we were taught World History in high school.
If asians were united that time,then we would have surpassed america in development.because Asia was most developed that time and we were looted by midasian and European countries.
Actually not only the eastern countries even much of europe has links to indian civilisation. South east except japan and china has no genetic links with india otherwise the rest of asia has some genetic links to india. china ana japan is deeply influenced by india. south asian martial arts were brought in by indian buddhist monks( nepal etc also included when i see indian main land) but none of this at the expense of bloodshed but with philosophies and trade by exchange of technology. the great korean queen was also of indian origin from ayodhya, of ayattuya as you south asians might know. Fall of india resulted in fall of south asia because we indians started denouncing fighting and started accepting pacifism. not many people know this but native autralians also had part indian dna .
We don't hate you... All new reaction channels go through this rough phase.. Sanskrit is far from dead language..! I know sanskrit very well... We are taught sanskrit in schools, even state Uttrakhand has it in their official language.. Freedom Struggle of India is portrayed so not enough to understand anything... And Gandhi is not the only one to be remembered... There are lists of our heros This video you watched is so very bad..!!
To answer your question about the Map Expansion in the Maurya Empire, The king at the time (Ashoka) became a Buddhist due to the brutality of the Battle of Kalinga...
10:33 Those doors shown there were actually wrong. Hindu buildings have doors with smooth arches and usually have many Gods, Goddesses, Mantras, Mathematical, Physical and Chemical formulae and Medical info(in the form of Ayurvedic scripts) inscribed into the walls surrounding the door. Whereas, Islamic buildings have doors with pointed arches and usually have either verses of the Qur'an surrounding them or just bare bricks. So, the building shown there is actually completely incorrect since 1) Islam didn't exist during the Mauryan empire 2) Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Farsi buildings were the only ones existing during Ashoka's reign 3) Pre-Islamic and Islamic people didn't start invading India until 1000 AD
1961 was independence of Goa from the Portuguese, and a little later Pondicherry got independence from the French. But India got their independence from the british in 1947
if you want to know more about what Portuguese did to Indians see this video "That Time the Portuguese Brought an Inquisition to India History of Goa Portuguese Empire" -th-cam.com/video/qFDN4TJyBc4/w-d-xo.html what india invented "12 Great Inventions We Should Thank India For"- th-cam.com/video/0uGBL1Lfkv4/w-d-xo.html
Idk what the craze is with Gandhi. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azaad, Mangal Pandey, Rani Lakshmi Bai and many more were much more important figures in the fight for independence. Btw, India gained independence in 15th August 1947 and not in 1961. Nice video, I liked it
Sanskrit is considered one of the most computer-friendly languages. NASA scientist Rick Briggs once stated that Sanskrit's structure is highly suitable for artificial intelligence and computer programming due to its precise and unambiguous nature
About caste system - Caste system is a ridiculous thing prominent in Hindu society. Note :- Hindu society not Hinduism. None of the religious texts talk about caste system as in its current form but they talk about something called "Varna System". Which gradually misused throughout the history to form current form of caste system. Okey, let's see what are the differences between caste system and Varna System... In caste system - * A person's social class is defined by his birth I.e He belongs to the caste that he is born into like Brahmin,Takoor,Okkaliga or a Billava (The caste that I am born into) *Person can't change his caste if he wishes to *Some classes are considered noble and some not so noble. There are thousands of castes in India. *Discrimination is its integral part. Varna System - * Social class of a person is not defined by his birth, but by his profession. *There are only 4 varnas -Brahmin (Priests, religious seekers and teachers) - Kshatriya (warriors, soldiers and guards) - Vaishya (Business class) - shoodra (Serving class) *Any person who studies religion and strives for spiritual uplifting will be considered a brahmin. *Any person that works as a soldier or a guard is a Kshatriya. It doesn't matter if he is a king or just a soldier, he is a Kshatriya. *Person that earns by selling products and services is commonly known as Vaishya. *Person whose profession that doesn't "need" extensive "education", like farmers, Blacksmith, servants and other were called Shudras. *At birth, everyone is a Shudra. It is his choice with his profession allows him to jump to a different Varna. (Usually , people followed profession of their parents, but jumping into Kshatriya and Vaishya Varna was very common among shudras) That is brief about Varna system. This system is what Hinduism proposes and people used to follow but it gradually converted in to caste system. For eg:- * During the time of Gauthama Budha.. Hunters and butchers were considered to be "Panchama" (the 5th) , since people thought they were barbaric and didn't want them to fit into any varnas. *Around 600bc when meghasthanes of Greek visited India, He documented 7 different varnas instead of 4 varnas.
Any American commenting on caste in India should first comment on slavery and the current status of Blacks in the US. Specifically, 1. The rate at which they are killed by police. 2. The persistent racism they face in day to day life. 3. The veneration of slave holders and confederate generals via monuments, plaques, etc. -- even army bases are named after them. 4. The fact that 50% of the country went berserk after finding out that Obama had been elected president. 5. The fact that one of the major political parties is the de facto political wing of the KKK.
I took AP World History when I was in high school so I did learn a bit about Indian history along with the history of other Asian countries. Not much though, learned a lot more from this video!
5:20 .. Aryans were NOT "Migrants" .. He is referring to the popular theory established by colonial Europeans called "Aryan Invasion/ Migration theory" (AIT/AMT) .. There is NO SINGLE SOLID PROOF available for it ... British Colonisers propagated this theory to forward their "Divide & Rule" policy in India by saying that Sanskrit & Hinduism is of "FOREIGN ORIGIN" ... In reality the OIT "Out of India Theory" is more plausible .. Latest Evidences of Archaelogy, Literature, Genetics, Hydrography, Astronomical History, etc .. all of them point to that it was Indian tribes that migrated to Central Asia & Europe and hence there is commonality of Languages & Genes 5:32 .. Sanskrit is NOT a "Dead Language" .. but declining .. All religious hymns & prayers of Hinduism and other Indic religions are done in Sanskrit ... Sanksrit is considered as Mother of all Indo-European languages
It's not dead language. We learn Sanskrit in school and it is the language which all India's ancient text was written and spiritual rituals done in temples are in Sanskrit.
Right but it's not a language that's commonly used kind of like biblical Hebrew. People still know it and learn it so they can study the old text but it's still considered a dead language. When I say dead language it doesn't mean it's never used it's just used very infrequently compared to your primary language. No disrespect!

Indian subcontinent had one of the first early civilisations to Harbour. With that, it is fairly concluded with historical evidences, that India had the best of knowledge of science, spirituality, art of war, medicine etc. Unfortunately or unfortunately we were never a land mass who believed in conquering other land, although we fought battles within our land across empires being shown. And later foreign entities - mughals, britishers completely demolished our country. We are not a developing nation, we are recovering nation. We believe in cycles, kaal Chakra, only good deeds survives and India fits the definition of it. Be it blessings from almighty, it has been a chosen holy land of saadhus and yogis with immense knowledge of science and other spectrum of it. since thousands of years. We knew about the planetary positions, distances, birth rebirth of stars right to the development of a child in a mother womb. It is all there in our thousand years old scriptures. Not even 0.0000001% or more of Indian population has read their scriptures. Only time ( kaal chakra) will regain Indias lost glory. Bless Bharat, bles s India. Jai shree Ram
India was actually mostly always populated because its fertile and after world war after independence The health system improved so death rates decreased and there was a population boom. Although many states in India are having 1.6-1.8% fertility rate since 1900 but there are still few states whose fertility rate is as high as 3% and replacement rate being 2.1% Also yes northeast east and west south part gets flooded in rainy season mostly northeast. North gets alot of Earthquakes and sometimes dust storms in northern most regions the glaciers fell and block the tini tiny road too so you cannot go anywhere you are just stuck wherever you were. Sanskrit is being revived now as its being taught in schools again' but its actually alot more similar to older persian many words are exactly same and ashoka was born hindu converted to Buddhism and map increased because greeks ruled Afghanistan nd Iran and greeks gave their daughter to Mauryan so they ruled together so it was pact between them and not war greeks were probably the most smartest they always made pacts with other Indian kingdoms so they shared power. Ashoka died and last king Brihadratha was assassinated in 185 BC-183 BC by his general Pushyamitra Shunga so thats how the kingdom fell ashoka was last main powerful king although this video left like more then half of the kingdoms but they probably didn't had that much time
Ok! Let me explain the Ashoka Buddhism connection. He used to be a brutal king🤴 who killed all his brothers. His father conquered most part of the sub-continent. He further expanded the territory. There was a tiny yet very powerful democratic state in the east coast ie Kalinga, present day Odisha (where I belong) and his father was unable to conquered it. So, Ashok attacked the state and around 200k soldiers died from both side, and Kalinga had fallen. As per the ancient War practice, they did absolute massacre and destroyed the entire capital. Then Ashok got influenced by Buddhism and stopped the expansion, that's what historians want us to believe. But, having a Master degree in History, I can tell you these all popular theories were proposed just to manage the image of Ashoka, or the so-called Great Ashoka. He was an expansionist till he died. Want to add some more points 👉 1. It was not at all entirely non violent. 2. The army was on the verge to start a large scale mutiny. So, uk 🇬🇧 did not offer independence out of sympathy. And, yes, American history is part of our curriculum. Cheers.
Vedic Aryans did not come from outside of india. Vedic culture was not spread, from outside and into India and is a consequense of this lands quest for truth, meaning and exploration. The opposite happened as ancient indians migrated to other parts of the world outside of India and populated the whole world such as the Scithians of Europe. All Europeans have Scithian male ancestry containing the R1A1A genetic marker which is a native indian genetic mutation. The Harappan "civilization" never fell, it relocated due to Saraswati river changing its course and eventually drying up. The civilisation eventuallly shifted to a 'deeper' part of India along the banks of river Ganga. It's still the same civilization which continues today in the form of "Hindus" - Indu - Indus - India
You will be surprised about the Sanskrit language. Specially the similarity of Sanskrit and english words. You can look it up . It's very interesting. Lot of information about India / aryans could be revisited in the light of new archeological discoveries in India.
India became Independent in 1947 India is super vast and deep and TBH this video is not correct even for some parts. coz Indian history is soooooo old and lated so much bended by foreigners to suit their own needs that ppl tend to have wrong facts at times , anyways safer n good n fun must watch videos are : Ashoka - kings and generals (know about the war and the conversion to buddhism) watch : what is hinduism - by cogito (he did the best job sumarizing it in a video yet) vijaynagar Conquest of South East Asia - by old compass
if u wanna know about indian history watch videos made by indian historians . this video is worng on many points. like aryan invasion theory have been proven wrong.
Sanskrit is taught in schools. But imagine Latin being taught in schools in USA. It would be like that. So e of us who studied the language with some interest can speak Sanskrit but cannot continue a whole conversation in that language When we say Sanskrit is a dead languave it means it's not a mother tongue of any individual. It's being taught in schools just like there is a Latin course you can take in universities.
The Mauryans and Guptas were the greatest 💪💪💪 the invention of 0 , pi , trigonometric numbers , many inventions in mathematics and science including plastic surgery , chess , shampoo , nose job all happened under these two empires
The actual loss of India in term of cultural and history was when the Britishers entered India destroy ancient monuments and looted valuable things before giving independence they looted everything they can even the stone which was crafted in taj mahal and many rich cultural sites . They made India richest country to poorest in world. The money they looted was the double the GDP of current USA. India is a country that was ancient superpower and in a race to become modern superpower that's the rich history of our INDIA 🇮🇳.
Man,that's all messed up history u have listened to,,,vedic period starts more old as going archeological facts are coming out,,and Buddhism came from hinduism which is Sanathana dharma.thanks that you liked to make video on India,,DHANYAWAAD,,but try to make on true history not propagated one's..thank you my brother's 🙂🙂
Technically speaking People populate the places more where there is Water.. Thats why Mesopotamian civilizations had Euphrates river or seas on sides. Egyptian civilization had Nile river, Indian or Indus Valley civilization had Indus river and later on Ganges and Yamuna river and their tributaries. And in the North East of India we have Brahmaputra river that comes from Tibet.Chinese civilizations had Yellow river and Yangtze river bcz most of chinese population is heavily crowded on the sea or ocean side.You hardly will find population on the Tibetan side.Beijing etc are heavily crowded.Mesoamerican civilization has water on all sides.. Africa is still filled with their very own civilizations.These are some of the biggest civilizations in terms of population and being famous. China's population is still extremely one sided towards the sea and Japan. India's most of the population lives in North India.South India has many rivers but compared to Ganges and its tributaries they are short. Which is why India has rice belt and wheat belt states where rice and wheat are grown. Basmati rice comes from India and Pakistan both. The food ROTI or CHAPATI which looks like Mexican tortilla but is actually made up of wheat is a type of flatbread first discovered in this Indus valley civilization.So we Indians have been eating that food for centuries now.
Well thats not indian history at all it roughly Starts from the Alexander first time attacking India. Its kinda European version of indian history. The real history of India is vast. But we don’t know yet what was there before Alexander.
India gets it's independence in 1947 with partition of pakistan and Bangladesh(then east pakistan), 16th and 17th centuries of maratha empires are not discussed in this video, Pre bce eras about Hinduism Ramayana and mahabharat time eras are not covered here, Also you have to react and explore about the indepdence of India , it's not just mahatma gandhi ,there were many more freedom fighters through out the india, you should react to various freedom fighters' struggle stories... And in this video they said that after world war, labour party of Britain came in power and those british rulers are showing mercy towards india so because of those british, india got it's independence, ...But this is wrong. Even we all Indians don't aware about our own rich culture,history and traditions in these last 70 years because of old british designed and imposed education system by distorted indian wisdom and history ... It's our as well as your responsibility to show and aware the western world of today's generation about India's diverse multiethnic, multilingual,multi religious vast history and culture ..... Through your reaction and discussion videos... Because this knowledge sharing helps the world in every walk of life. Thanks.. We will always support your efforts and enthusiasm to connect with world and india as a one giant family.... Love by Ram From maharashtra state,India
Actually all these are glimpse of Indian history ...not completely explain but that's a quick way to put it.. But There is more past ....before civilization.
Remember the Taliban rule in Afghanistan destroyed the biggeest Budhist statue in Aghanistan which was part of this history. Mughal Empire was not so great as westerners think . They slaughtered Hindus and Budhist in the name of religion and that is the legacy left behind . But western historians love to distort Indian history just to prove their colonial mindset that India was never united before colonialism. India was united under Emperor Asoka and territory extened from todays part of Afghanistan the whole of Pakistan and part of Iran all the way to Indonesia and Cambodia . Also there is a lot cultural similairities and also similarities in the languages spoken by Indians, Slavics and Armenians. This is the main reason why India supported Armenia in the recent conflict with Azerbaijan . Indians do not like Turkey or any of the Turks because they never did anything better than slaughtering Hindus ,Budhist and Jains.
First of all the civilization of the world started from India and China areas not Africa. 2nd thing the thing what you are mentioning kid dead language Sanskrit in today's time you see all the language around you like English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Philipino,Hindi,Japanese and Korean all came out of these Sanskrit language which is the origin of all languages in the world. And these Sanskrit language is more suitable for computer language which the scientists are telling today by experimenting.Got it??
The point the author makes about migrants to india speaking sanskrit is false because of the fact that there has been no hard evidence that proves the point also when there were indus valley civilization was not only local to north-western india, it was there in the ganges plains and down south.

Why India is so populated? In short...... people in India died less compare to rest of the world in history. India and China both have the same reason for large population. If you wish to learn more, there are many videos on TH-cam for that.
They did not mention Alexander the great who tried to "expand" in India but failed at the doorstep of india
We Love you guys! Let's take a moment to acknowledge the efforts of this channel to bring our culture and civilization to the world. We appreciate you very much. Thank you very much. ♥️ from India 🙏🇮🇳
This was the incomplete history of India, lots of important movements were not covered.
Sanskrit is not a dead language...
The Chola empire from south ruling more than 1000 years, which spread till the current day Indonesia to Iran and a huge influence in Korea, China, giving birth to the Kung-fu Marshall arts which travelled from south of India, Ahom dinasty from current day Assam and the east of Indian history is not touched upon, whom except British no one else could rule and much more.... It would be difficult to cover it all... But a good job done to sum up atleast 10% of the Indian history.
And to answer your question, we learn about every country and history in India and respect all of it 🇮🇳🙏
We learnt about the Boston Tea Party during 8th grade.
This is a sanitized version of the history.
China is student of India in that time
Indian history way older than china.
India has Culture India has peace India has Respest India has Science India has Technology..India has Everything...Thanks (jai shree Ram)
Fun fact: india is the most invaded country
almost Every Indian child knows how to read Sanskrit it’s the oldest language yet spoken widely we all read it in our class
Yes my friend is an Indian and he told me that they learn world history in school time... They have a special book for world history in each class off school ...indians know many country and their culture and their history😄😄
yes we have world history book in 9th standard and then in 11th standard with more details
@@nehayadav772 what?? 11th grade don't have history class at all.
@@santhoshanvelmurugan3324 lol as if only science and commerce branch is there.
@@santhoshanvelmurugan3324 are you crazy???
Sanskrit is the language used in the mcu...by Dr.Strange...lol.
Sanskrit is still spoken in india
I will never understand why this video(that you reacted to) never mentioned Subash Chandra Bose!..its because of him that we have the 2nd largest army today that we are proud of!
India got independent in 1947. only Goa a small state of India got independent from Portuguese in 1961.
Asians and East Asians more or less have connections with the Indian Empire. Like us in the Philippines were Sri Vijaya influenced reached out to us. One of the Greatest civilizations were in Asia. Yes we were taught World History in high school.
If asians were united that time,then we would have surpassed america in development.because Asia was most developed that time and we were looted by midasian and European countries.
Actually not only the eastern countries even much of europe has links to indian civilisation. South east except japan and china has no genetic links with india otherwise the rest of asia has some genetic links to india. china ana japan is deeply influenced by india.
south asian martial arts were brought in by indian buddhist monks( nepal etc also included when i see indian main land) but none of this at the expense of bloodshed but with philosophies and trade by exchange of technology.
the great korean queen was also of indian origin from ayodhya, of ayattuya as you south asians might know.
Fall of india resulted in fall of south asia because we indians started denouncing fighting and started accepting pacifism.
not many people know this but native autralians also had part indian dna .
We don't hate you... All new reaction channels go through this rough phase..
Sanskrit is far from dead language..!
I know sanskrit very well... We are taught sanskrit in schools, even state Uttrakhand has it in their official language..
Freedom Struggle of India is portrayed so not enough to understand anything...
And Gandhi is not the only one to be remembered... There are lists of our heros
This video you watched is so very bad..!!
To answer your question about the Map Expansion in the Maurya Empire, The king at the time (Ashoka) became a Buddhist due to the brutality of the Battle of Kalinga...
10:33 Those doors shown there were actually wrong. Hindu buildings have doors with smooth arches and usually have many Gods, Goddesses, Mantras, Mathematical, Physical and Chemical formulae and Medical info(in the form of Ayurvedic scripts) inscribed into the walls surrounding the door. Whereas, Islamic buildings have doors with pointed arches and usually have either verses of the Qur'an surrounding them or just bare bricks. So, the building shown there is actually completely incorrect since 1) Islam didn't exist during the Mauryan empire 2) Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Farsi buildings were the only ones existing during Ashoka's reign 3) Pre-Islamic and Islamic people didn't start invading India until 1000 AD
This video is just 10% of India's history maybe. It started talking from the Buddhism phase and not the earliest Hinduism phase.
Eagerly awaiting part 2! Namaste and love from India!🙏🇮🇳☮️
1961 was independence of Goa from the Portuguese, and a little later Pondicherry got independence from the French. But India got their independence from the british in 1947
Well we didn't hear about Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, who actually gave us freedom.
if you want to know more about what Portuguese did to Indians see this video

This video completely ignores Hindu history and glorified invaders
I luv u guys. Keep doing the video. I'm from India.
Idk what the craze is with Gandhi. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azaad, Mangal Pandey, Rani Lakshmi Bai and many more were much more important figures in the fight for independence. Btw, India gained independence in 15th August 1947 and not in 1961. Nice video, I liked it
Sanskrit is considered one of the most computer-friendly languages. NASA scientist Rick Briggs once stated that Sanskrit's structure is highly suitable for artificial intelligence and computer programming due to its precise and unambiguous nature
About caste system -
Caste system is a ridiculous thing prominent in Hindu society.
Note :- Hindu society not Hinduism. None of the religious texts talk about caste system as in its current form but they talk about something called "Varna System". Which gradually misused throughout the history to form current form of caste system.
Okey, let's see what are the differences between caste system and Varna System...
In caste system -
* A person's social class is defined by his birth I.e He belongs to the caste that he is born into like Brahmin,Takoor,Okkaliga or a Billava (The caste that I am born into)
*Person can't change his caste if he wishes to
*Some classes are considered noble and some not so noble. There are thousands of castes in India.
*Discrimination is its integral part.
Varna System -
* Social class of a person is not defined by his birth, but by his profession.
*There are only 4 varnas
-Brahmin (Priests, religious seekers and teachers)
- Kshatriya (warriors, soldiers and guards)
- Vaishya (Business class)
- shoodra (Serving class)
*Any person who studies religion and strives for spiritual uplifting will be considered a brahmin.
*Any person that works as a soldier or a guard is a Kshatriya. It doesn't matter if he is a king or just a soldier, he is a Kshatriya.
*Person that earns by selling products and services is commonly known as Vaishya.
*Person whose profession that doesn't "need" extensive "education", like farmers, Blacksmith, servants and other were called Shudras.
*At birth, everyone is a Shudra. It is his choice with his profession allows him to jump to a different Varna. (Usually , people followed profession of their parents, but jumping into Kshatriya and Vaishya Varna was very common among shudras)
That is brief about Varna system.
This system is what Hinduism proposes and people used to follow but it gradually converted in to caste system.
For eg:- * During the time of Gauthama Budha.. Hunters and butchers were considered to be "Panchama" (the 5th) , since people thought they were barbaric and didn't want them to fit into any varnas.
*Around 600bc when meghasthanes of Greek visited India, He documented 7 different varnas instead of 4 varnas.
India means 30+% of world GDP till 1700 AD 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oldest thriving civilization
Please bro give your reaction on why is india great part 2
We read about World History in our high schools.
Everything from French Revolution to American Revolution everything
Maratha empire is great empire.. 🚩
Sad to see that there is no name of Subhash Chandra Bose and the azad hind fauj in the whole video.
It's not 1961, we got independence in 1947. Thank you for reacting.
Any American commenting on caste in India should first comment on slavery and the current status of Blacks in the US. Specifically, 1. The rate at which they are killed by police. 2. The persistent racism they face in day to day life. 3. The veneration of slave holders and confederate generals via monuments, plaques, etc. -- even army bases are named after them. 4. The fact that 50% of the country went berserk after finding out that Obama had been elected president. 5. The fact that one of the major political parties is the de facto political wing of the KKK.
I took AP World History when I was in high school so I did learn a bit about Indian history along with the history of other Asian countries. Not much though, learned a lot more from this video!
5:20 .. Aryans were NOT "Migrants" .. He is referring to the popular theory established by colonial Europeans called "Aryan Invasion/ Migration theory" (AIT/AMT) .. There is NO SINGLE SOLID PROOF available for it ... British Colonisers propagated this theory to forward their "Divide & Rule" policy in India by saying that Sanskrit & Hinduism is of "FOREIGN ORIGIN" ... In reality the OIT "Out of India Theory" is more plausible .. Latest Evidences of Archaelogy, Literature, Genetics, Hydrography, Astronomical History, etc .. all of them point to that it was Indian tribes that migrated to Central Asia & Europe and hence there is commonality of Languages & Genes
5:32 .. Sanskrit is NOT a "Dead Language" .. but declining .. All religious hymns & prayers of Hinduism and other Indic religions are done in Sanskrit ... Sanksrit is considered as Mother of all Indo-European languages
It's not dead language. We learn Sanskrit in school and it is the language which all India's ancient text was written and spiritual rituals done in temples are in Sanskrit.
Right but it's not a language that's commonly used kind of like biblical Hebrew. People still know it and learn it so they can study the old text but it's still considered a dead language. When I say dead language it doesn't mean it's never used it's just used very infrequently compared to your primary language. No disrespect!
One of the greatest Kingdoms they missed out in this was the kingdom of Jhansi which was ruled my the female ruler the queen of Jhansi after her husband died ... She was one of the pioneer to have armed revolut agains British raj she is also considered as key figure in intimating India's freedom movement .. she evn fought one of the war while she was pregnent at age of 20 ... And led my here femal army coz she believed in female empowerment and also most of men denied to get led my a female ... You guys should check her out .. a movie is been made after here name Manikarnika you guys should check that out too
They don't even so much about cholas expansion, ahoms etc then how can they will show about jhansi.
It didn't show the main history
Hey, please react to why India is great part 2
Indian subcontinent had one of the first early civilisations to Harbour. With that, it is fairly concluded with historical evidences, that India had the best of knowledge of science, spirituality, art of war, medicine etc. Unfortunately or unfortunately we were never a land mass who believed in conquering other land, although we fought battles within our land across empires being shown. And later foreign entities - mughals, britishers completely demolished our country. We are not a developing nation, we are recovering nation. We believe in cycles, kaal Chakra, only good deeds survives and India fits the definition of it. Be it blessings from almighty, it has been a chosen holy land of saadhus and yogis with immense knowledge of science and other spectrum of it. since thousands of years. We knew about the planetary positions, distances, birth rebirth of stars right to the development of a child in a mother womb. It is all there in our thousand years old scriptures. Not even 0.0000001% or more of Indian population has read their scriptures.
Only time ( kaal chakra) will regain Indias lost glory. Bless Bharat, bles s India. Jai shree Ram
India was actually mostly always populated because its fertile and after world war after independence The health system improved so death rates decreased and there was a population boom. Although many states in India are having 1.6-1.8% fertility rate since 1900 but there are still few states whose fertility rate is as high as 3% and replacement rate being 2.1% Also yes northeast east and west south part gets flooded in rainy season mostly northeast. North gets alot of Earthquakes and sometimes dust storms in northern most regions the glaciers fell and block the tini tiny road too so you cannot go anywhere you are just stuck wherever you were. Sanskrit is being revived now as its being taught in schools again' but its actually alot more similar to older persian many words are exactly same and ashoka was born hindu converted to Buddhism and map increased because greeks ruled Afghanistan nd Iran and greeks gave their daughter to Mauryan so they ruled together so it was pact between them and not war greeks were probably the most smartest they always made pacts with other Indian kingdoms so they shared power. Ashoka died and last king Brihadratha was assassinated in 185 BC-183 BC by his general Pushyamitra Shunga so thats how the kingdom fell ashoka was last main powerful king although this video left like more then half of the kingdoms but they probably didn't had that much time
Ok! Let me explain the Ashoka Buddhism connection.
He used to be a brutal king🤴 who killed all his brothers. His father conquered most part of the sub-continent. He further expanded the territory.
There was a tiny yet very powerful democratic state in the east coast ie Kalinga, present day Odisha (where I belong) and his father was unable to conquered it. So, Ashok attacked the state and around 200k soldiers died from both side, and Kalinga had fallen. As per the ancient War practice, they did absolute massacre and destroyed the entire capital.
Then Ashok got influenced by Buddhism and stopped the expansion, that's what historians want us to believe. But, having a Master degree in History, I can tell you these all popular theories were proposed just to manage the image of Ashoka, or the so-called Great Ashoka. He was an expansionist till he died.
Want to add some more points 👉
1. It was not at all entirely non violent.
2. The army was on the verge to start a large scale mutiny. So, uk 🇬🇧 did not offer independence out of sympathy.
And, yes, American history is part of our curriculum.
Cheers.
And yes Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's INA who also took part in defeating british
Vedic Aryans did not come from outside of india. Vedic culture was not spread, from outside and into India and is a consequense of this lands quest for truth, meaning and exploration. The opposite happened as ancient indians migrated to other parts of the world outside of India and populated the whole world such as the Scithians of Europe. All Europeans have Scithian male ancestry containing the R1A1A genetic marker which is a native indian genetic mutation. The Harappan "civilization" never fell, it relocated due to Saraswati river changing its course and eventually drying up. The civilisation eventuallly shifted to a 'deeper' part of India along the banks of river Ganga. It's still the same civilization which continues today in the form of "Hindus" - Indu - Indus - India
You will be surprised about the Sanskrit language. Specially the similarity of Sanskrit and english words. You can look it up . It's very interesting. Lot of information about India / aryans could be revisited in the light of new archeological discoveries in India.
India became Independent in 1947
India is super vast and deep and TBH this video is not correct even for some parts. coz Indian history is soooooo old and lated so much bended by foreigners to suit their own needs that ppl tend to have wrong facts at times , anyways
safer n good n fun must watch videos are :
Ashoka - kings and generals (know about the war and the conversion to buddhism)
watch : what is hinduism - by cogito (he did the best job sumarizing it in a video yet)
vijaynagar Conquest of South East Asia - by old compass
The British conveniently call 1857 the Sepoy Mutiny...but we Indians call it The First War of Independence against the wicked British Empire.
if u wanna know about indian history watch videos made by indian historians . this video is worng on many points. like aryan invasion theory have been proven wrong.
Sanskrit is taught in schools. But imagine Latin being taught in schools in USA. It would be like that. So e of us who studied the language with some interest can speak Sanskrit but cannot continue a whole conversation in that language
When we say Sanskrit is a dead languave it means it's not a mother tongue of any individual. It's being taught in schools just like there is a Latin course you can take in universities.
Even computer understand sunskrit using for programing ❤️
Sanskrit is not a dead language. Also in many schools of India, we r taught about basics of Sanskrit. Btw love ur reaction!! Much love❤️
Sanskrit is not dead language it’s been taught in India and all our scriptures are in Sanskrit 😊 I can speak and understand Sanskrit
Sanskrit is indian language but brahmans are definitely not indian people 🤣🤣🤣
Yeh everyone is from Africa
Chinese civilization was inspired by The Indus....and the world MANDARIN comes from a sanskrit World 'MANTRI'
The Mauryans and Guptas were the greatest 💪💪💪 the invention of 0 , pi , trigonometric numbers , many inventions in mathematics and science including plastic surgery , chess , shampoo , nose job all happened under these two empires
Best tym was maratha empire how mughals was crying at that tym ...... Mughals Tried to destroy Hinduism for 1000 yrs but still we r here
The actual loss of India in term of cultural and history was when the Britishers entered India destroy ancient monuments and looted valuable things before giving independence they looted everything they can even the stone which was crafted in taj mahal and many rich cultural sites . They made India richest country to poorest in world. The money they looted was the double the GDP of current USA.
India is a country that was ancient superpower and in a race to become modern superpower that's the rich history of our INDIA 🇮🇳.
India is not populated because of there ages , it's because of the fertile lands and rivers ...🙏❣️
Man,that's all messed up history u have listened to,,,vedic period starts more old as going archeological facts are coming out,,and Buddhism came from hinduism which is Sanathana dharma.thanks that you liked to make video on India,,DHANYAWAAD,,but try to make on true history not propagated one's..thank you my brother's 🙂🙂
India got independence in 1947, Only Goa, Daman, and Diu got independence in 1961.
Technically speaking People populate the places more where there is Water.. Thats why Mesopotamian civilizations had Euphrates river or seas on sides. Egyptian civilization had Nile river, Indian or Indus Valley civilization had Indus river and later on Ganges and Yamuna river and their tributaries. And in the North East of India we have Brahmaputra river that comes from Tibet.Chinese civilizations had Yellow river and Yangtze river bcz most of chinese population is heavily crowded on the sea or ocean side.You hardly will find population on the Tibetan side.Beijing etc are heavily crowded.Mesoamerican civilization has water on all sides.. Africa is still filled with their very own civilizations.These are some of the biggest civilizations in terms of population and being famous.
China's population is still extremely one sided towards the sea and Japan. India's most of the population lives in North India.South India has many rivers but compared to Ganges and its tributaries they are short. Which is why India has rice belt and wheat belt states where rice and wheat are grown. Basmati rice comes from India and Pakistan both. The food ROTI or CHAPATI which looks like Mexican tortilla but is actually made up of wheat is a type of flatbread first discovered in this Indus valley civilization.So we Indians have been eating that food for centuries now.
Fun fact the Indian invented the number zero 0
you don't "invent" an number. you figure out the concept.
India got independence in 1947
Goa state was last to be an axed.
Yes if history as major in art in higher education.
Not in elementary or High school.
Well thats not indian history at all it roughly Starts from the Alexander first time attacking India. Its kinda European version of indian history. The real history of India is vast. But we don’t know yet what was there before Alexander.
India gets it's independence in 1947 with partition of pakistan and Bangladesh(then east pakistan),
16th and 17th centuries of maratha empires are not discussed in this video,
Pre bce eras about Hinduism
Ramayana and mahabharat time eras are not covered here,
Also you have to react and explore about the indepdence of India , it's not just mahatma gandhi ,there were many more freedom fighters through out the india, you should react to various freedom fighters' struggle stories...
And in this video they said that after world war, labour party of Britain came in power and those british rulers are showing mercy towards india so because of those british, india got it's independence, ...But this is wrong.
Even we all Indians don't aware about our own rich culture,history and traditions in these last 70 years because of old british designed and imposed education system by distorted indian wisdom and history ...
It's our as well as your responsibility to show and aware the western world of today's generation about India's diverse multiethnic, multilingual,multi religious vast history and culture ..... Through your reaction and discussion videos... Because this knowledge sharing helps the world in every walk of life.
Thanks..
We will always support your efforts and enthusiasm to connect with world and india as a one giant family....
Love by Ram
From maharashtra state,India
If you like sanskrit you should react to Ashta Lakshmi stotram. It's a really beautiful stotram.
Actually all these are glimpse of Indian history ...not completely explain but that's a quick way to put it..
But
There is more past ....before civilization.
I want to add the Chatrapati Shivaji's empire, Ahoms, Maharana Pratap...who actually beated the mughal empire.
Sanskrit is mother of all language
There are some villages in central India where ppl only speak Sanskrit
Remember the Taliban rule in Afghanistan destroyed the biggeest Budhist statue in Aghanistan which was part of this history. Mughal Empire was not so great as westerners think . They slaughtered Hindus and Budhist in the name of religion and that is the legacy left behind . But western historians love to distort Indian history just to prove their colonial mindset that India was never united before colonialism. India was united under Emperor Asoka and territory extened from todays part of Afghanistan the whole of Pakistan and part of Iran all the way to Indonesia and Cambodia . Also there is a lot cultural similairities and also similarities in the languages spoken by Indians, Slavics and Armenians. This is the main reason why India supported Armenia in the recent conflict with Azerbaijan . Indians do not like Turkey or any of the Turks because they never did anything better than slaughtering Hindus ,Budhist and Jains.
I won't say whole but atleast we are taught from high-school stage about , British, Middle East, American, African history, politics, and contemporary
Yes we have a subject called Political Science in which we learn about Russia vs American cold war to becoming superpower
we learnt that americans live in a well with 200-300 yr history and think the world revolves around them
Don't you guys know why England has Queen ruling , cuz king is always involved in wars
Buddhism later became Hinduism, the people have not done their homework properly
First of all the civilization of the world started from India and China areas not Africa.
2nd thing the thing what you are mentioning kid dead language Sanskrit in today's time you see all the language around you like English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Philipino,Hindi,Japanese and Korean all came out of these Sanskrit language which is the origin of all languages in the world. And these Sanskrit language is more suitable for computer language which the scientists are telling today by experimenting.Got it??
The point the author makes about migrants to india speaking sanskrit is false because of the fact that there has been no hard evidence that proves the point also when there were indus valley civilization was not only local to north-western india, it was there in the ganges plains and down south.
