Dinshaw Petit and Dwarkanath Tagore were the two industrialists who greatly benefitted from the British. I wonder if we can add Jamnalal Bajaj to the same list.
Bajaj's were thrived on Licence Raj in post independence India. They monopolized the industries. Sr. Bajaj's rant against present establishment is clearly his frustration of Congress going out of power. Inefficient engineering machines like Bajaj Scooters sold in millions because there were no competition to them. They killed competition due to proximity to Nehruvian establishment. As soon as other good option in market came we never brought those old inefficient machines. Bajaj was forced to innovate only after they faced tough competitive markets post liberalisation.

No, by the time Mughals came in, Parsis had forgotten their language and used to speak only Gujarati. There is not a single well known Parsi individual from the Mughal era. So Mughals did not favor Parsis
Mughals used Persian as their court language only after Jehangir, Shersa suri kicked out Mughals out from India that time Jehangir was the Mughal king , so Jehangir took Refuge in Persia ( Iran) the Persian king helped Jehangir to took back Mughal kingdom from Shersa suri and eventually Shersa suri lost and Jehangir adopted Persian language as their Official.

Thank you Abhijit for your research and perspective on the History of the Parsi community. When you started reading the letter even I laughed at the ridiculousness of the question! Especially when the lady's surname is Gandhi/ Gandhy. It's a pity though to see the comment section taking an opportunity to misconstrue your content, generalize and spew negativity towards the whole community. "That were favoured by the British for no fault of theirs" (in your words). Historically the community had promised the King Jadi Rana while seeking refuge, that they would not convert anyone into the Zoroastrian Faith and serve the ruler, who so ever it may be loyally (among a few other rules that have been adhered to). I am a Parsi Indian. It's my community, just like someone is a Marwadi etc. Community is something you identify with in terms of customs tradition language and in this instance Faith. Of course there may be ignorant, small minded idiots that are Parsi, just like there are in ANY community, so its unfair to give a general label based on one's personal interaction with the said black sheep. Having said that, the current generation of TH-cam students seem to want to take the History lesson as an opportunity for "pay back". (I am referencing all History worldwide not just this particular topic relating to Indian History). We can't change the past, we can certainly learn from it and ensure we have a better future. The Parsi's have always acknowledged and been grateful for the refuge given to us, we adopted so many Hindu traditions and 1200 years later we are proud, loyal INDIANs that have live peacefully with Hindu Muslim Christian Jew..everybody! It's unfair to demonize us because SOME got rich and we're favored by the Btitish, or because we were graciously given refuge by the King, or because we are not Hindu. Abhijit made his point in his response, perspectives may differ to the facts. Guys use your brains, do your own research, collect data and then come to your OWN conclusion . Please try not to be too judgemental and possibly interact with the community if you have'nt .We are dwindling in numbers, and there is much to learn from everyone. Knowledge is power. We are One. Peace and love.
Hindus are the son of this soil. Today they r divided in Jain, Buddhist, Sikh and Sanatani. They r persecuted longer than any other community on this planet. I am from South Mumbai and know Parsis very well. Have two Parsi friends too. Your understanding of Abhijits comment is wrong here. Many Hindus, Muslims all served British to gain advantage so he is not targeting single community. He is just stating facts. It is fact that Parsi's have been living in India for more than 1000 years and mixed as they promised. In fact out of India migrants at some point in ancient past ( yet to be proven with DNA study). what you think as payback is actually realization of fight to save this civilization which allowed refuge to you guys. You may be still sickular bt many hindus no longer want to be one and will not allow missionaries or Islamic radicala to rule agn. India is only secular till Hindus r in majority. After 1000 yrs you have forgotten atrocities of islamic invasion to persia. I would suggest to stick to facts instead being sickular. Islam cannot co-exist with any other religion. Accept the historic facts as they were. Parsis were only progressive community in 1947 and prior and for a reason stated above. Past cannot b changed bt we shd not repeat our mistakes from past by knowing it well
I did homework sir . Another community is punjabi they were given alot importance in army bczz brits had belief that to rule over majority u need minority to be on your side . The concept of martial race was also given by the brits . I remember they gave it to jat community. No hate to punjabi and jat community and no doubt that they contributed alot in freedom struggle . Perhaps now we should stop dividing on the basis of community and give up on these caste titles
Hill people contributed more then anyone in armed forces , but no gives them enough credit Be it Ladakhi Dogra Himachali Gharwali Kumaouni Gurkha Asaami Naga
@@wolfwayne7594 very true mate but perspective made by bollywood movies is just that punjabi were the only one to do it rest garhwali and naga are just watchman.
Its not Punjabi but Sikhs and only after 1907 when there were growing tensions between Hindus and Muslims. Sikhs were separated and many Macsikhs Organizations were formed with the help of British who took over Sikhs religious places and leadership and it is even today
@@KaranSingh-vc1gu What you said is correct but there is a flaw, Punjabi is not equal to Sikhi. It has 40% Hindu population even now. Before early 20th century Sikh population was even less, hardly 20%. British started giving lands to Jatt Sikhs so most of Hindu Jats started changing their religion on paper, later it became norm. There are many other such incidents, you should study Punjab by Rajamohan Gandhi and follow Puneet Sahani
They were always argumentative. Only the Sanatan majority knew how to assimilate them. Also, there is one very good thing about Parsis, they're kind and Gunagrahak/गुण ग्राहक, they have the ability to understand virtues.
Abhijit Sir you are great your podcasts are extremely knowledgeable and highly fact full. As a geo politics researcher and the person who aspires to contribute in future of india I'm glad to view your videos on daily basis please keep your good work sir❤
Prof. Abhijit, I agree with you. Hard facts, past or present, alas, could not be digested by a lot of people. Doing home work is anathema to them unfortunately.

Sir, much respect to you now 🙏🙏🙏 proly you are 1st parsi hv heard that accept parsis were involved and benefited from opium trade also accepting they were given preferential treatment hence they rose to high level, lot respect to you Sir 👍.
I respect you sir but please, it's "Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw". Please mention the rank as well. I don't know what kind of person he was but I feel good that only 2 people have achieved that rank and they should definitely be respectfully spoken.
Fact is that majority of humans like being given someone or something to deify. I have noticed this in all walks of life. No great enterprise is accomplished successfully without group effort and yet, the leader gets all the credit. Thanks to the internet, decentralisation is setting in and people are encouraged to think for themselves. The Parsi community, as great as it is, is NOT the be all and end all of entrepreneurship. Show me someone who, without inherited wealth, has built an empire and I'll show you someone to emulate and admire. That's it. Wishing all every success in life. Jai Bharat! 💪🙏🕉
Ratnaji tata ran the opium business (JRD Tatas father) Wht is of intrigue is what were the Parsis doing before British entered india ? So the observation that the rising if Parsees as great business men after British arrived is perfect Indian businessmen were always there were always rich 'Seth'(vaishya ) Though it is true that in 19 th century many Indian businessmen to were favoured by British
Sir adding to the info you gave about British preferential treatment, I have a question, did Britishers also commit this same type of preferential treatment to the already existing Indian caste system which was simply a concept to divide and identify people of different occupations but was made a subject of discrimination and hierarchy ranging from brahmins to shudras?
Great analysis , without preferential treatment none of the group will become super successful🏆💪 👍 words like business acumen just fancy words used for some communities 😁
Chavdas are Kshatriya, from the ancient western India, when the present day states of Gujarat and Rajasthan, were not separated. For example, Mularaja Solanki I, was a Suryavanshi Rajput ruling over Gujarat . His Queen Consort was Naikidevi, a Chalukya princess from Goa, who took over the empire post his early demise. Her massive victory in the battle of Gadarghatta, deterred any raider in the future from entering India via the route of the fierce Rani’s empire so they took the longer one through Rajasthan. If Sir Abhijit Chavda is teleported back to 1100 A.D. and his GPS location is traced, then his clan might as well be located in what is today’s Ahmedabad or, Jaipur, who knows?
Thanks Abhijit Sir for taking the name of Gen Sagat Singh Rathore, I always felt bad for himself that he was not given the due credit.

I agree that preferential treatment is what distinguishes a lot of times and helps a group to grow enormously But which community who is sitting at the top now didn't got the preference? Chitpavans did nepotism in maratha Empire Marathas, Jats and other land owner castes got huge swathes of land just because of their caste Rajputs got preference and land because of marital relations between them and Mughals Brahmins in India in various regions were give huge land holdings either as dan or because they got into power and didn't had to pay taxes Khatris, lohanas and many other business communities were also exempted to pay taxes Bengali brahmins used to get many villages which is very well mentioned in their own origin stories So how come these communities are getting overlooked when they too literally got free benefits from the authorities and it is a big reason that they are powerful today?
You bring out deep down truth and Thanks for that. I request you have some deep level discussion on: 1.Aliens - Pure fact/logic/science 2.Ghost - same as above 3.Life after death - same as above.

Hello Sir, recently I came across one of your videos on Beerbiceps and since then its like I am literally addicted to the geopolitical knowledge that you share. Today I came across this news about Rajnath Singh and our army saying we are ready and just waiting for orders about reclaimimg POK and Gilgit. Whats your take on this. Is this only to put Pak on backfoot or Is this really possible in near future with everything thats going on currently around the world
Very correct !! In Calcutta once a British senior royalty visited. In the welcome ceremony there were nearly a thousand Indian soldiers and on the whole only 4 white british officers. Royalty asked his British friend, "so what stops these thousand Indians from overpowering the 4 British"? The answer was "Indians are very selfish hence easy to divide, they are also timid and hence are very subservient".
Well, on hindsight (post the World Wars), we know they've greatly outdone Indians in selfishness & divisiveness. And the second half was wrong right off the mouth. A good soldier has always been _expected to be subordinate_ to their commanders, since the dawn of humanity. This does not come from their "timidity", but from their martial discipline.
@@jojobabok9373 Only IDIOTS show discipline while their country, family n friends are being enslaved and impoverished every single day............ONLY IDIOTS !!!
@@amitkp6957 Mercenary armies existed (& continue to exist). And the "Royal Indian Army" was just that. They were soldiers trained, armed & paid by the British. What you're expecting comes from a spirit of nationalism, which was in its infancy in India back then. The "country" you're referring to, simply didn't exist yet.
My 2 points with respect to the topics discussed in this video: 1) The stooges of Brits (and perhaps of Mughals earlier) were allotted lands, which were called as "Namak haram jaagir" (property obtained by selling one's conscience and other things associated with conscience) 2) In military, there are ample cases of differential treatment. Not just between General and a subordinate officer, but more so between commissioned officers and non-commissioned soldiers. Do you know that if a soldier loses, even, both of his legs on the battlefield he will get 10% of what an officer will get if he gets his finger cut? In previous governments era, the military establishments have literally treated soldiers as their "jaagir". And you would think that current govt is graceful? Better yes, graceful not even in dreams. OROP is still not implemented in the real spirit it was supppsed to be. Fail to understand why such colonial and differential treatment, when we are removing everything that reminds us of colonial era?
Abhijit sir why did shunga dynasty ordered to destroy all Buddhists and Buddhist stupas. Yesterday one person told me that they were aryans(bramins) so they destroyed. ( that person is who strongly believes aryan theory). After searching every where I got same answer as that person had told me.
Well that's a very systematic lie. Only pyushsamitra sunga destroyed few monasteries because the indo Greeks used to house in the monasteries as they were leaned towards bhuddism, and during reign of last maurayan emperor brihadratha the entire Kingdom was breaking apart, Greeks and bhuddists were favoured more and the king was incompetent. So to save Bharat and to uphold what chandra gupta maurya has established, pyushsamitra sunga Assassinated brihadratha to establish order. And he defeated the Greeks and literally pushed them away from the mainlands of India . Now in this process there was some collateral damage of bhuddists monasteries as i said earlier the Greeks were leaned towards bhuddism a d used the monasteries as hiding posts. But after 100 years of pyushsamitra sunga Ashokvanda was written and it's only text which claims that shungas persecuted the bhuddists, which is debunked and it's not àn accurate record of the historical facts. What had happened is that pyushsamitra sunga didn't patronized any religion wether it be Vedic dharma or bhaud Dharm, this angered the bhuddists and they started to spew hate towards pyushsamitra sunga. Also the sachi stupa was destroyed by some fanatical Brahmins in the reign of pyushsamitra sunga, but he himself repaired the stupa and gave punishment to those Brahmins. Thus it's very wrong to say that pyushsamitra sunga actually persecuted bhuddists, because we find only one book the Ashokvanda which claims that.
shunga dynasty was right because buddhist want non militarization of india because of their religious philosophy same like Tibet . stupas are education and meditation centers . if this was not done . india was easily invaded in the 6th century by foreign powers.
Abhijit sir, please don't go down this track. It is unfair to Target a single community for some cheap British political trick done several generations ago. What is important is that they are a productive and upstanding community who contribute to the well being of India Today. And providing shelter and succour to a supplicant is a Dharmic duty, not something to be flaunted.

Thank you Abhijit for your research and perspective on the History of the Parsi community.
When you started reading the letter even I laughed at the ridiculousness of the question! Especially when the lady's surname is Gandhi/ Gandhy.
It's a pity though to see the comment section taking an opportunity to misconstrue your content, generalize and spew negativity towards the whole community.
"That were favoured by the British for no fault of theirs" (in your words). Historically the community had promised the King Jadi Rana while seeking refuge, that they would not convert anyone into the Zoroastrian Faith and serve the ruler, who so ever it may be loyally (among a few other rules that have been adhered to).
I am a Parsi Indian. It's my community, just like someone is a Marwadi etc. Community is something you identify with in terms of customs tradition language and in this instance Faith.
Of course there may be ignorant, small minded idiots that are Parsi, just like there are in ANY community, so its unfair to give a general label based on one's personal interaction with the said black sheep.
Having said that, the current generation of TH-cam students seem to want to take the History lesson as an opportunity for "pay back". (I am referencing all History worldwide not just this particular topic relating to Indian History).
We can't change the past, we can certainly learn from it and ensure we have a better future.
The Parsi's have always acknowledged and been grateful for the refuge given to us, we adopted so many Hindu traditions and 1200 years later we are proud, loyal INDIANs that have live peacefully with Hindu Muslim Christian Jew..everybody!
It's unfair to demonize us because SOME got rich and we're favored by the Btitish, or because we were graciously given refuge by the King, or because we are not Hindu.
Abhijit made his point in his response, perspectives may differ to the facts.
Guys use your brains, do your own research, collect data and then come to your OWN conclusion .
Please try not to be too judgemental and possibly interact with the community if you have'nt .We are dwindling in numbers, and there is much to learn from everyone.
Knowledge is power.
We are One. Peace and love.
Hindus are the son of this soil. Today they r divided in Jain, Buddhist, Sikh and Sanatani. They r persecuted longer than any other community on this planet. I am from South Mumbai and know Parsis very well. Have two Parsi friends too. Your understanding of Abhijits comment is wrong here. Many Hindus, Muslims all served British to gain advantage so he is not targeting single community. He is just stating facts. It is fact that Parsi's have been living in India for more than 1000 years and mixed as they promised. In fact out of India migrants at some point in ancient past ( yet to be proven with DNA study). what you think as payback is actually realization of fight to save this civilization which allowed refuge to you guys. You may be still sickular bt many hindus no longer want to be one and will not allow missionaries or Islamic radicala to rule agn. India is only secular till Hindus r in majority. After 1000 yrs you have forgotten atrocities of islamic invasion to persia. I would suggest to stick to facts instead being sickular. Islam cannot co-exist with any other religion. Accept the historic facts as they were. Parsis were only progressive community in 1947 and prior and for a reason stated above. Past cannot b changed bt we shd not repeat our mistakes from past by knowing it well
Even some of our own castes were favored by the British.
I did homework sir . Another community is punjabi they were given alot importance in army bczz brits had belief that to rule over majority u need minority to be on your side . The concept of martial race was also given by the brits . I remember they gave it to jat community.
No hate to punjabi and jat community and no doubt that they contributed alot in freedom struggle . Perhaps now we should stop dividing on the basis of community and give up on these caste titles
Hill people contributed more then anyone in armed forces , but no gives them enough credit

@@wolfwayne7594 very true mate but perspective made by bollywood movies is just that punjabi were the only one to do it rest garhwali and naga are just watchman.
Its not Punjabi but Sikhs and only after 1907 when there were growing tensions between Hindus and Muslims. Sikhs were separated and many Macsikhs Organizations were formed with the help of British who took over Sikhs religious places and leadership and it is even today
@@SHIVAM-qe8uo sounds interesting plzz elaborate. But still my point is pretty valid
@@KaranSingh-vc1gu What you said is correct but there is a flaw, Punjabi is not equal to Sikhi. It has 40% Hindu population even now. Before early 20th century Sikh population was even less, hardly 20%. British started giving lands to Jatt Sikhs so most of Hindu Jats started changing their religion on paper, later it became norm. There are many other such incidents, you should study Punjab by Rajamohan Gandhi and follow Puneet Sahani
Salute and respect for your candidness . A brilliant son of Beautiful Hindustan.
Chavdas are Rajputs(Kshatriyas), i think so

Yes. Chavdas are Rajputs. I'm one.

From when did Bawalok become so argumentative? 😂
Who is Bawalok?
They were always argumentative. Only the Sanatan majority knew how to assimilate them. Also, there is one very good thing about Parsis, they're kind and Gunagrahak/गुण ग्राहक, they have the ability to understand virtues.
@@khosrowanushirwan7591 Parsees are fondly known as Bawa in India. Bawalok or Bawalog means Bawa people or Parsi people.

I respect you sir but please, it's "Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw". Please mention the rank as well. I don't know what kind of person he was but I feel good that only 2 people have achieved that rank and they should definitely be respectfully spoken.
Fact is that majority of humans like being given someone or something to deify. I have noticed this in all walks of life. No great enterprise is accomplished successfully without group effort and yet, the leader gets all the credit. Thanks to the internet, decentralisation is setting in and people are encouraged to think for themselves. The Parsi community, as great as it is, is NOT the be all and end all of entrepreneurship. Show me someone who, without inherited wealth, has built an empire and I'll show you someone to emulate and admire. That's it. Wishing all every success in life. Jai Bharat! 💪🙏🕉

Wht is of intrigue is what were the Parsis doing before British entered india ?

Sir adding to the info you gave about British preferential treatment, I have a question, did Britishers also commit this same type of preferential treatment to the already existing Indian caste system which was simply a concept to divide and identify people of different occupations but was made a subject of discrimination and hierarchy ranging from brahmins to shudras?

My Ex was Chavda and she was a Gujarati..
Chavdas are Kshatriya, from the ancient western India, when the present day states of Gujarat and Rajasthan, were not separated. For example, Mularaja Solanki I, was a Suryavanshi Rajput ruling over Gujarat . His Queen Consort was Naikidevi, a Chalukya princess from Goa, who took over the empire post his early demise. Her massive victory in the battle of Gadarghatta, deterred any raider in the future from entering India via the route of the fierce Rani’s empire so they took the longer one through Rajasthan. If Sir Abhijit Chavda is teleported back to 1100 A.D. and his GPS location is traced, then his clan might as well be located in what is today’s Ahmedabad or, Jaipur, who knows?

chapo means silk carpet ..vinha means weave....
hence carpet weaving...but would have been one among families from vansh made republic kingdom in ancient Saurashtra kingdom ...
need not confuse with east iranic language of Farsi or zorashtru language... totally differed with phonetics sound..
chavda or chapo-dia are before
tenth century are saurashtri dynasty for some centuries...
now parsi Urdu Turk languages loan words with present Gujarat
so saurashtri differed with Hindi Urdu and Gujarati Marathi...
it's my personal research ji
Thanks Abhijit for the reply
I agree that preferential treatment is what distinguishes a lot of times and helps a group to grow enormously
But which community who is sitting at the top now didn't got the preference?
Chitpavans did nepotism in maratha Empire
Marathas, Jats and other land owner castes got huge swathes of land just because of their caste
Rajputs got preference and land because of marital relations between them and Mughals
Brahmins in India in various regions were give huge land holdings either as dan or because they got into power and didn't had to pay taxes
Khatris, lohanas and many other business communities were also exempted to pay taxes
Bengali brahmins used to get many villages which is very well mentioned in their own origin stories
So how come these communities are getting overlooked when they too literally got free benefits from the authorities and it is a big reason that they are powerful today?
You bring out deep down truth and Thanks for that.
I request you have some deep level discussion on:
1.Aliens - Pure fact/logic/science
2.Ghost - same as above
3.Life after death - same as above.
Please please plan or this. I have watched many discussion from you side and many others.
But I still feel that people are under intense pressure to steer the discussion on a particular direction and we just want to hear only those thing. So most of the discussion are half or monotonous and always missing and looks like shredded with millions bullets.

@AbhijitChavda ji
Very correct !! In Calcutta once a British senior royalty visited. In the welcome ceremony there were nearly a thousand Indian soldiers and on the whole only 4 white british officers. Royalty asked his British friend, "so what stops these thousand Indians from overpowering the 4 British"? The answer was "Indians are very selfish hence easy to divide, they are also timid and hence are very subservient".
Hearing this is like dagger thru chest 😔
Well, on hindsight (post the World Wars), we know they've greatly outdone Indians in selfishness & divisiveness.
And the second half was wrong right off the mouth. A good soldier has always been _expected to be subordinate_ to their commanders, since the dawn of humanity. This does not come from their "timidity", but from their martial discipline.
@@jojobabok9373 Only IDIOTS show discipline while their country, family n friends are being enslaved and impoverished every single day............ONLY IDIOTS !!!
@@amitkp6957 Mercenary armies existed (& continue to exist). And the "Royal Indian Army" was just that. They were soldiers trained, armed & paid by the British.
What you're expecting comes from a spirit of nationalism, which was in its infancy in India back then. The "country" you're referring to, simply didn't exist yet.
thankyou sir as always to keep us telling things which no one knows
And if they know they dont tell it to us.....
How can one man have this much knowledge
My 2 points with respect to the topics discussed in this video:
1) The stooges of Brits (and perhaps of Mughals earlier) were allotted lands, which were called as "Namak haram jaagir" (property obtained by selling one's conscience and other things associated with conscience)
2) In military, there are ample cases of differential treatment. Not just between General and a subordinate officer, but more so between commissioned officers and non-commissioned soldiers. Do you know that if a soldier loses, even, both of his legs on the battlefield he will get 10% of what an officer will get if he gets his finger cut? In previous governments era, the military establishments have literally treated soldiers as their "jaagir". And you would think that current govt is graceful? Better yes, graceful not even in dreams. OROP is still not implemented in the real spirit it was supppsed to be. Fail to understand why such colonial and differential treatment, when we are removing everything that reminds us of colonial era?
Abhijit sir why did shunga dynasty ordered to destroy all Buddhists and Buddhist stupas. Yesterday one person told me that they were aryans(bramins) so they destroyed. ( that person is who strongly believes aryan theory). After searching every where I got same answer as that person had told me.
Read what Dr. Koenraad Elst has to say on this subject. You will find it on Dr. Elst's blog.
@@RAJAT6555 please send me the link if you can.
Well that's a very systematic lie. Only pyushsamitra sunga destroyed few monasteries because the indo Greeks used to house in the monasteries as they were leaned towards bhuddism, and during reign of last maurayan emperor brihadratha the entire Kingdom was breaking apart, Greeks and bhuddists were favoured more and the king was incompetent. So to save Bharat and to uphold what chandra gupta maurya has established, pyushsamitra sunga Assassinated brihadratha to establish order. And he defeated the Greeks and literally pushed them away from the mainlands of India . Now in this process there was some collateral damage of bhuddists monasteries as i said earlier the Greeks were leaned towards bhuddism a d used the monasteries as hiding posts.
But after 100 years of pyushsamitra sunga Ashokvanda was written and it's only text which claims that shungas persecuted the bhuddists, which is debunked and it's not àn accurate record of the historical facts.
What had happened is that pyushsamitra sunga didn't patronized any religion wether it be Vedic dharma or bhaud Dharm, this angered the bhuddists and they started to spew hate towards pyushsamitra sunga. Also the sachi stupa was destroyed by some fanatical Brahmins in the reign of pyushsamitra sunga, but he himself repaired the stupa and gave punishment to those Brahmins. Thus it's very wrong to say that pyushsamitra sunga actually persecuted bhuddists, because we find only one book the Ashokvanda which claims that.
@@arkadeepchanda9524Thank you very much. any book related to it or any sources sir.
