Being an indian, and living in the same state. I am suprised to hear this story of Malik ambar. Amazing history. Such a shame all this is not taught in schools today.
We need more information on Hindu Dynasties. They were also there I guess Ancient India has an underrated history and so much of that history was wiped away by invasion.
I am from the Oromia region of Ethiopia and I'm an Oromo but I was not aware of this amazing history. I really want to thank the K&G for this incredible video

This is a trend I noticed while contrasting their content related to Rome, Mongols, and the empires of the middle east. Like its something they could have kept the same but went the extra mile to depict the cultural aspects of each video and I have nothing but admiration and appreciation for their hard work.
Aurangzeb was another name cruelty and destruction. Aurangzeb was so full of hate, he vandalized many monuments in Ellora caves, which were created some 5000 years ago, just because the monuments were replicas of Hindu and Buddhist gods. These caves were totally man-made and chiseled out of very large single mountain rock. Modern architecture would easily forfeit in front of architecture of Ellora and Ajanta caves.
India has nearly 5000 years old written history. If so old history is there, emotions are there too of original Indian people. So many people tried to invade India, only to get to closer to their end. So these people who tried to invade, situated here for little time only to get thrown out, tried to change many things i.e. names of cities, culture, languages etc. They never succeeded. The original name of Aurangabad was "Khadki" recognized as town near Deogiri fort. Aurangzeb changed the name to Aurangabad. Now majority of people demand renaming city to "Sambhaji Nagar", which will happen because they already renamed Aurangabad airport to "Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Airport", so now change in the city name is also expected. It will be Sambhaji Nagar.
11:57 "malik didn't needed a crown to rule" Absolutely breathtaking sentence which proves that talent and dedication is more important than blood and colour. Hatts off to the legendary general of my deccan "Malik ambar"
Once more youtube fills the vacuum left by education system around the world. This story should be taught in every school around the world. Thank you K&G.
why? It is literally a tiny drop in history of the Indian people. To outsiders, maybe exception is a big deal but to Indians what does it mean? In the West, the exception becomes the rule but in India the exception is just another exception. Was he seen as an actual ruler? He had to get a puppet. The issue with such shallow videos is they lack context; what exactly do you think the majority of HIndu Indians were doing at this time? This is our land, our resources, our culture, our history. I see comments here as if the actual majority, Hindu Indians, don't exist in this story. This story is told as if they are simply bystanders in their own land. Western nonsense. Get a real Indian to tell this story and put it in rightful context. No one came to this land and ruled while the majority Indians stood idly by.
@@s.b626 "No one came to this land and ruled while the majority of Indians stood by" I'm starting to question if you're even Indian, have you ever heared about The east India company? And the rule of India by the British? Why are you getting mad over someone about something so minuscule like a black guy ruling over a small part of India? That sounds like something too small for you to care or does it? It does becuase you're racist.
@@duhhud6774 Indians have dark skin because of interbreeding with the Dravidian race, not because Africans. The African diaspora in India has always been very small
RSS and affiliated organisation have twisted history. They will portray Maratha rulers as rulers of india. While they were confedracy and were very weak economically and militarily when compared to earlier mughals. Rulers of chittor are portrayed as defenders of hinduism while mewar was a small kingdom that lies between delhi and Gujarat every ruler of delhi wanted direct access to ports of Gujarat. So they always wanted it under their yoke.
History can't be based on imagination, it is what really happened in past. And Rulers whether hindu Or muslim they always fought for their own wealth it was never for public. They were very cruel and sucked the blood out of comman public. While they lived a overly luxurious life comman folks were extremely poor.

I want to write it! Some one get Hollywood on the money phone. An African stolen to slavery, educated under Islam, granted power in India, established it as his New home and defended it from Mughal conquest until his death at an incredibly old 80 for the 15th century, while building cities and aqueducts... Finding his wife and having 4 kids.
@@DavidSaintloth yeah no western institution would be that eager to make a movie on this, Africa Islam India (that also together) hollywood never shows these things in a great light that would dismantle the idea of 'western superiority' which is what all of western world is built upon.
Actually slavery in Islamic world was different from the West. Muslim sultan needed slaves as soldiers who than showing their loyalty and ability became vizirs and sometimes sultans. Most of the Turk sultans were themselves slaves. Mehmud Gaznavi, Altamash, Balban, Tughluq etc were slave sultans.

Thanks.
@@kumarpushpak70 dude fuck you he is an african man that made his story in India. This is no more Indian than African history. He was an Indian African or African Indian which ever you prefer and to make it all about your culture is an ugly look, coming from an Indian.
This is actually a lie, and this channel is just regurgitating what they read from false stories. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. A reading of ancient Dravidian literature which dates back to 500 BC, gives us considerable information on the Naga. Chapu wasnt even the name, that is not an oromo name and he was not oromo but was from harar.
I am from Aurangabad, Maharashtra. and we always remember Malik Ambar for his great architectural work in our city... thanks to kings and generals for making this video.
I am from modern day city of Aurangabad, Maharashtra ( India ) and I've learnt about Malik Ambar by exploring the cities rich historical heritage. Its a shame that nothing much is taught about him in our history books. I am happy that you've covered story about Malik Ambar in this video. Even after the destruction of city, there are many historical sites apart from the legacy left behind by Malik Ambar. I'll urge everyone to visit the city once to see historical sites and the legacy of Malik Ambar.

Malik Amber is the one who introduced guerilla warfare to the Marathas., Maloji and Shahaji Bhosle, father of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, when they were serving under Nizamshahi of AhmedNagar.
@Rohan Dick Maratha Swarajya was already there from 8th century till 1391. Marathas were looking to reinstate self rule again in the 14th century. 90,000 villagers on record attended this discussion in Jogewshari, Mumbai .

Malik Ambar was the Prime Minister of the Ahmednagar Sultanate & a pioneer of guerilla warfare. He is credited with the introduction of revenue settlement in Deccan & built the famous Janjira fort. A great Deccan hero.
Am giving on Patreon right now - as an Indian woman growing up in Canada, we need more stories like this on Black History. And I LOVE how the illustrators are using the art and design of the Mughal period to showcase the Ethiopian King in India! What an amazing story ....

@@desiassassin7941 yes that would be amazing also I would love to visit India and the accomplishments he built and see his legacy I come from his ethnic in Ethiopia❤️
Hey K and G you missed one very important point. Malik Amber devised land measurement system in Deccan. He devised unit known as 'Malik Ambar chi Kathi' ( stick of malik ambar) to measure land. Later its name changed to 'shivkathi'. It is still in use in some parts of deccan. Usually used while dividing properties among brothers.
karan dullet I personally love all world history it’s amazing hearing the real life stories of people of the past and how they thought and conducted themselves. Indian history is cool in its own separate way.
Fun fact, this is the same region where the Bene Israel settled after Jerusalem fell to the Romans. The Kingdom of Janjira even had a Jewish Prime Minister at 1 point. So in western India there was an Place with an African King and a Jewish Prime Minister
So a widow with a heart of a lion and a slave with balls of steel and intelligent millitary skills showed mirror to the so called great mughals not just once. Chaand bibi was truly inspirational the way she fought alongside her army and Malik amber too inspire us to fight our destiny
My jaw when I saw this. Malik Ambar is someone that I have been studying for a few years now. I'm going to beeline home after work to watch. Thanks Kings and Generals!
@@hamzaabou4821 Giving an education justifies enslavement? He was one of the very few. Most enslaved Afrikans were concubines and eunuchs who lived very short, miserable lives under Arab rulers.

I am from Aurangabad. We know the story of Malik Amber since childhood. He was a great administrator. Built many innovative infrastructure like underground water supply which still working all year in many places. In his tenure there were tallest buildings 7/8 storey, some other unique buildings where small roads pass thru builings etc.
Why is there a conspiracy against African history? If it wasn't for wonderful Independent content creators like these, we would have never known these stories.
White supremacy, by hiding African history it creates an image that Africa never contributed to civilisation, which justify the discrimination they receive all over the world.
African history is present in "white history book" in high school and university. And if with Internet you cannot found books on African History the problem is not Conspiracy. A different and real matter on History is that most of the people stopped to study after they left school, but stopped to study everything in reality, AND there are problems on selling books to non history-fan people. Majority of history books are on British Empire, U.S. Revolutionary and Civil wars, Napoleonic Wars, Greco-Roman Civilizations, Viking Age, WW1 and WW2 because sold to everyone. Sometimes you find a book on Western Colonialism in the Americas. Localy you can found books on african or asiatic civilization that were colonized. K&G started in the same way and now used money to improve itself with good quality art and stories. AND most important, it used English to speak worldwide and English is the lingua franca of world and it can reach almost all. Not so if it were a French or German or Spanish.
True history knows that the impact of the African is equal to that of the Europeans, Asians, Arabs, Persians and the like. At every point in history there were Africans playing a part. Nothing wrong with acknowledging it
@Sultan Abdulhameed II no they wants to. Millennia ago the whole of India followed the vedic culture. That's true. However what Vedic culture was and what Hinduism is now is a big difference bc for almost 1000 years the Vedic population suffered the destruction of temples and educational institutions, the genocides of learned monks and Brahmins and the scattering of students, led to a widespread decline in Vedic education. With the fall of kings that followed vedic culture, science research and philosophy faced some setbacks due to a lack of funding, royal support, and an open environment. Mansa Musa I of Mali was the wealthiest person in medieval history. Some Indian temples have treasure vaults that haven't been opened for 100s of years. One that is opened contained $22 billion worth of gold jewelry, gems etc. Imagine what the 5 still closed vaults have. There are many temples like this.
Malik Ambar is the founder of many systems in Maharashtra. His style of bargi giri seems to have evolved into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's ganimi kawa and later fast moving light cavalry tactics of Bajirao Peshwe. @kings and generals: It would be great to see your videos on these extraordinary personalities as well.
@@GyanTvAmit strategy of ganimi Kawa have evolved from bargi giri.. Maloji bhosle ( grandfather of shivaji ), Sahaji bhosale ( father of Shivaji). All served in Malik ambars army and were well versed with ganimi Kawa/ bargi giri during there battles with Mughals . Infact sahaji raje was lead commander where they defeated Mughals....
@@siddhantk4985 ganimi kava also mentioned in hindu scriptures ,and maybe shivaji learn some tactics from malik amber but he wnvolve his own ganimi kawa according to defrent environment,he use water ganimi kawa during ocean missiona
@@gagadonim3354 no,bargi giri is older version,ganimi kava is advanced version shivaji maharaj also learn use of defrent weapon which available in nature malik ambar never learn that
Malik Ambar was a remarkable general who was the first to train the Marathas. It was he, who first recognised the swiftness and the guerrilla warfare skills of Marathas. Though Ahmednagar kingdom was absorbed into the Mughal empire not long after his death, the Marathas played a key role in the destruction of the Mughal empire. By the mid of 18th century and even further till the Marathas were finally supplanted by the Britishers, they were the virtual masters of Hindustan.
Was about to point out the very same thing! Imagine all of Maratha history and success not stemming from Shivaji but the achievement of an African warlord. I wish Indian history wasn't this biased
In my opinion, Ambar had seen more than most of the locals starting with Africa, slavery, Baghdad (very sophisticated city at that time), and was highly educated and above all was very determined because of his past history. His instinct for survival plus his disdain for oppression must have kept him ahead of the game and garnered him followers. By the way, where are the descendants of the 'Habshis?'
@@Trials_By_Errors He gave you kingdom? Were the previous governments in India not kingdoms? You had swaraj(independence) during Malik Ambar's time as well. He fought for the independence of the Maharashtra people against the Mughals. I don't see what his Chatrapaty-ness has to do with anything. He may as well have been a "Kumar" and you'd worship him all the same
Great video, thank you for making it guys. Wanted to add that at his death, even his Mughal schoalrs wrote praise for Ambar, "In warfare, in command, in sound judgement, and in administration, he had no rival or equal. [...] He kept down the turbualant spirits of that country, and maintained his exalted position to the end of his life, and closed his career in honour. History records no other instance of an Abyssinian slave arriving at such eminence." -Mutamad Khan, Mughal scholar. We made a video on Malik Ambar sometime ago and now we are happy to see more and more of Malik Ambar on TH-cam. Great job!
The story of this incredible individual, obscured by what I can only think to call 'mainstream history', is truly remarkable. K&Gs storytelling prowess is also highlighted by exquisite narrative and contextual artwork. Magnificent
@@dontsearchdocumentingreali9621 Ethiopian history is simply amazing. There's a lot of african history that's amazing and needs to be told the right way.
@Sultan Abdulhameed II maybe you should read the real history and archaeological texts. India was a Hindu country. In fact the word 'Hindu' and 'India' both are derivatives of the same word 'Indus'. I think you didn't learn your 6th class history :)

Note: habeshai means abyssinian not Ethiopian Abyssinians or habshet (used by their southarabian relatives) are semitic speakers who came from the middle east to the horn of Africa even tho their language is semitic theirancestry is mostly anatolian they became semitized in the levant and fron the levant they along with sabaeans settled in southarabia and the hornofafrica By the 3rd century ad their empire (the axumite empire) was a very powerful empire(even conquered southern arabia and nubia) which had a monopoly over most African products like ivory and animals but specifically african slaves which is why slaves of african origin are often called habeshi , the arabs of the time noticed how all africam slaves are brought from what was then the axumite empire also known as habashat so they made the connection and named them habeshi but in Ethiopia they still distinct between Abyssinians and the rest.

I love not not just because it shows the rise of a man from nothing to a Powerful position but an excellent strategy in battle .... These two are my favorite part of history
@Kings and Generals : Great video, just a small point, at the time of Malik Ambar, Aurangabad was known as Khadki, it was later named Aurabgabad due to Emperor Aurangzeb, who set up his base there in a futile bid to conquer Deccan. Also as for the ethnic and factional politics, the Ahmednagar Sultans having been Hindu converts themselves, were very inclusive of different races, and more capable sultans used these racial and ethnic factional rivalries to keep hold of power over their ministers and courtiers. In fact several native converted Sultanates such as the Nizam Shahis of Ahmednagar, the Imad Shahis of Berar, Muzaffarids of Gujarat and the Sharqis of Awadh, used Rajput, Hindustani Muslim, Afghan, Deccani (Muslims and Hindus) and Ethiopian(mostly in Deccan) factions as a political counterweight to the established power of the Turkic and Iranian generals and ministers. Even the Mughals continued this trend later. As for the Deccani system of war, a very telling fun fact reflecting the utterly baffled Mughal view of the Deccanis is an 18th century Mughal chronicler's amusing (but erroneous) conjecture that 'Maratha' name comes from the term 'Maar ke Hatta', literally hindi for one who hits and retreats. The Marathas erupted into central and North India in early 18th century, their cavalry armies quickly taking the provinces of Gujarat, Malwa and Bundelkhand from the Mughals, and even sacking Delhi, practicing 'Bargi-gari', or as they called it Ganimi Kava. The Mughals called this Qazzaki tactics. A very indicative battle to best encapsulate the culmination of the Bargi-gari mode of war would be the campaign if Palkhed 1728, this battle by the Maratha Peshwa would be later given high praises by the WW II Field Marshal Montgommery in his book on the history of warfare. Check out Sir Jadunath Sarkar's book 'Military History of India', it is freely available online on Archive.org. Once again thanks for this splendid work on Indian history.
Maybe you just thought that History was your fav subject. How tf can you not know history of your locality. I live in the fckn Himalayas and even I know about Ambar Malik.

Naturally, but I don't think the skin color of this badass is in question in this thread...
I live in Aurangabad. Also he built a flour mill for poor people and water channels around the whole city, at that time which are still in function.
Unlike Aurangzeb who destroyed peace and prosperity.
Aurangzeb was another name cruelty and destruction. Aurangzeb was so full of hate, he vandalized many monuments in Ellora caves, which were created some 5000 years ago, just because the monuments were replicas of Hindu and Buddhist gods. These caves were totally man-made and chiseled out of very large single mountain rock. Modern architecture would easily forfeit in front of architecture of Ellora and Ajanta caves.
Flour
@Masoom Launda remember UP and Bihar is also the poorest state of India because of corrupt BJP who uses Hindutva ideology as their weapon
India has nearly 5000 years old written history. If so old history is there, emotions are there too of original Indian people. So many people tried to invade India, only to get to closer to their end. So these people who tried to invade, situated here for little time only to get thrown out, tried to change many things i.e. names of cities, culture, languages etc. They never succeeded. The original name of Aurangabad was "Khadki" recognized as town near Deogiri fort. Aurangzeb changed the name to Aurangabad. Now majority of people demand renaming city to "Sambhaji Nagar", which will happen because they already renamed Aurangabad airport to "Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Airport", so now change in the city name is also expected. It will be Sambhaji Nagar.

Facts well said
why? It is literally a tiny drop in history of the Indian people. To outsiders, maybe exception is a big deal but to Indians what does it mean? In the West, the exception becomes the rule but in India the exception is just another exception. Was he seen as an actual ruler? He had to get a puppet. The issue with such shallow videos is they lack context; what exactly do you think the majority of HIndu Indians were doing at this time? This is our land, our resources, our culture, our history. I see comments here as if the actual majority, Hindu Indians, don't exist in this story. This story is told as if they are simply bystanders in their own land. Western nonsense. Get a real Indian to tell this story and put it in rightful context. No one came to this land and ruled while the majority Indians stood idly by.
@@s.b626 "No one came to this land and ruled while the majority of Indians stood by" I'm starting to question if you're even Indian, have you ever heared about The east India company? And the rule of India by the British? Why are you getting mad over someone about something so minuscule like a black guy ruling over a small part of India? That sounds like something too small for you to care or does it? It does becuase you're racist.

While they were confedracy and were very weak economically and militarily when compared to earlier mughals.
Rulers of chittor are portrayed as defenders of hinduism while mewar was a small kingdom that lies between delhi and Gujarat every ruler of delhi wanted direct access to ports of Gujarat.
So they always wanted it under their yoke.
History can't be based on imagination, it is what really happened in past.
And Rulers whether hindu Or muslim they always fought for their own wealth it was never for public.

This is actually a lie, and this channel is just regurgitating what they read from false stories. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. A reading of ancient Dravidian literature which dates back to 500 BC, gives us considerable information on the Naga.

Majority of history books are on British Empire, U.S. Revolutionary and Civil wars, Napoleonic Wars, Greco-Roman Civilizations, Viking Age, WW1 and WW2 because sold to everyone.

@Sultan Abdulhameed II no they wants to. Millennia ago the whole of India followed the vedic culture. That's true. However what Vedic culture was and what Hinduism is now is a big difference bc for almost 1000 years the Vedic population suffered the destruction of temples and educational institutions, the genocides of learned monks and Brahmins and the scattering of students, led to a widespread decline in Vedic education. With the fall of kings that followed vedic culture, science research and philosophy faced some setbacks due to a lack of funding, royal support, and an open environment. Mansa Musa I of Mali was the wealthiest person in medieval history. Some Indian temples have treasure vaults that haven't been opened for 100s of years. One that is opened contained $22 billion worth of gold jewelry, gems etc. Imagine what the 5 still closed vaults have. There are many temples like this.

Malik Ambar was a remarkable general who was the first to train the Marathas. It was he, who first recognised the swiftness and the guerrilla warfare skills of Marathas. Though Ahmednagar kingdom was absorbed into the Mughal empire not long after his death, the Marathas played a key role in the destruction of the Mughal empire. By the mid of 18th century and even further till the Marathas were finally supplanted by the Britishers, they were the virtual masters of Hindustan.
Was about to point out the very same thing! Imagine all of Maratha history and success not stemming from Shivaji but the achievement of an African warlord.

In my opinion, Ambar had seen more than most of the locals starting with Africa, slavery, Baghdad (very sophisticated city at that time), and was highly educated and above all was very determined because of his past history. His instinct for survival plus his disdain for oppression must have kept him ahead of the game and garnered him followers. By the way, where are the descendants of the 'Habshis?'

Wanted to add that at his death, even his Mughal schoalrs wrote praise for Ambar, "In warfare, in command, in sound judgement, and in administration, he had no rival or equal. [...] He kept down the turbualant spirits of that country, and maintained his exalted position to the end of his life, and closed his career in honour. History records no other instance of an Abyssinian slave arriving at such eminence." -Mutamad Khan, Mughal scholar.
We made a video on Malik Ambar sometime ago and now we are happy to see more and more of Malik Ambar on TH-cam. Great job!
The story of this incredible individual, obscured by what I can only think to call 'mainstream history', is truly remarkable. K&Gs storytelling prowess is also highlighted by exquisite narrative and contextual artwork. Magnificent
thanks for watching!
I remember when this channel was Nurrik & Phoenix. You’ve come a long way since then.
Superb video.
Thank you, good sir!
An enslaved African that became a king in India!? Wow, I never knew about this. This is awesome.
Not king but regent minister. Think of him as India's Cao Cao.
@@barbiquearea right, right
Theres so much interesting history out there.
He was Ethiopian,ethiopian history is fascinating
@@dontsearchdocumentingreali9621 Ethiopian history is simply amazing. There's a lot of african history that's amazing and needs to be told the right way.

@Sultan Abdulhameed II maybe you should read the real history and archaeological texts. India was a Hindu country. In fact the word 'Hindu' and 'India' both are derivatives of the same word 'Indus'. I think you didn't learn your 6th class history :)
Now that was brilliant.. I had never heard of Malik Ambar until today and thank u KG for a wee gem of knowledge.
He served almost all the Deccan sultanates and was a top notch mercenary.
Fun fact: Shah Jahan, the one who eventually conquered malik ambar's kingdom, is the mughal emperor who built the famous Taj Mahal, for his beloved wife
Really?
Built ? Or Remodeled an existing Red-Stone Rajaput Palace ? Research yourself .
@@santosh.script
He built the Monument in empty place of land
Do you think a Emperor who ruled the whole subcontinent would build a memorial for his beloved wife on top of someone else palace .
Million of indian perished building Taj mahal and it was built by A persian architect.
@@DrStrange234 Yeah , definitely the locked chambers of Taj Mahal, Interior Red Stone structure already-existing red Foundation , and two mutual Looking Guest on either sides , have something serious to say about its legitimacy. But the White Marble Creativity is genuinely crafted by Persian Arstists , no doubt

Fun Fact: Malik Amber had a general called Shahaji. Whose son went on to form the legendary Maratha Empire which ultimately replaced Mughals.

Damnit, I liked this particular video so much that I've finally decided to support you through Patreon. Please, keep doing these particular videos of unknown great men and women of our wonderful History through out this big, wide world!
Appreciate the support!
Any videos about Abram Petrovich Gannibal, the African slave that became a Russian General under Peter The Great or Gonzalo Guerrero the Spaniard that became a Mayan War Chief before Cortez Landed
Both of these sound amazing
Wow! Both!
Those stories seem amazing.
Yes! That's what I was thinking of as well. He was the great Grandfather of Alexander Pushkin, the father of Russian literature.
Any link to Guerrero
This is the first time I will heard about Malik Amber's. And as Africa man is a great inspiration we never told in school. Thank you so much k&g
Impressive work as usual! Thanks for delivering this kind of content
Thanks for supporting us!
Thought this was Morphius from the Matrix.
Exactly my thoughts 😂
Damn Ambar looks like Morpheus! 😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol I SAID the same thing
He was kinda badass like Morpheus but in real life.
"Real Gs move in silence, like lasagna." - Malik Ambar, probably
that is an amazing piece of wisdom
😂 bruh!

The Kingdom of Abyssinia in Ethiopia and the Kingdom of Adal in Somalia were really powerful players in Africa at the time. Even dragged in the Portuguese and Ottoman Empires. Full on matchlock-cannon warfare.
New-Era ahmed gurey captured him told him to convert but refused so he was beheaded
The Portuguese were a player back then they wanted to steal the prophet's grave so much so that they could exchange it for the holy land.
of course their plan failed because of the Ottomans.

@@Honey_B_River the Portuguese after the were crashed in the naval battle near muqdisho the never came to the ajurn empire(southern Somalia). And couldn’t go north to Arabia. The ottomans helped with ships but it was us who fought and defeated the Portuguese.
I live in aurangabad and i had no idea about this
From Mumbai same situation
Well, you learn something new every day!
Study your history
A son of Oromo nation here. I am coming to Aurangabad to claim the throne 😁
I'm from Sangli Maharashtra. Close to Ahmednagar. I read about Malik Amber few years ago. Truly fascinating. Shows diverse and tolerant culture of medieval India.

thanks for watching!
Man, this tale is so romantic, he really outdid himself, a true King. Malik Ambar, I got to remember his name.
Greetings from Argentina! Still waiting for the documentary about the independence campaings of Generals San Martin, Belgrano and Guemes. Love this channel!
His aqueduct system is still famous in deccan
Aryan Rahul Ok but why is that relevant to his statement?
@@aryanrahul4417 what's you're proof of that?
Chand bibi deserves a chapter in Indian history 😭😭😭😭 so under rated
I have met Hapshees, a large number live near Mundgod in Karnataka. And worked with a Habshi named DSouza. Very kind and honest people.
Note: habeshai means abyssinian not Ethiopian
Abyssinians or habshet (used by their southarabian relatives) are semitic speakers who came from the middle east to the horn of Africa even tho their language is semitic theirancestry is mostly anatolian they became semitized in the levant and fron the levant they along with sabaeans settled in southarabia and the hornofafrica
By the 3rd century ad their empire (the axumite empire) was a very powerful empire(even conquered southern arabia and nubia) which had a monopoly over most African products like ivory and animals but specifically african slaves which is why slaves of african origin are often called habeshi , the arabs of the time noticed how all africam slaves are brought from what was then the axumite empire also known as habashat so they made the connection and named them habeshi but in Ethiopia they still distinct between Abyssinians and the rest.
I cannot thank you enough for making this fascinating documentary. I will be visiting Aurangabad this winter and am thankful to know this history...truly unique!
The Deccan provided some of the most cunning, brave tough warriors & kings to India.
(Mughal soldiers show up on the Decan border)
Malik Ambar: Ah shit, here we go again.
Remind me of CARL JOHNSON
I am from Aurangabad. As a kid during school days we used track the water canals mentioned in this video. The canals are still there you can even climb down into those. It's called 'Nehr e Ambari' (Nehar means stream of water)
08:02 East rebellion was from Rich Bengali Saltanat. You should make research on us! 💖
If there will no war between Muslims in India, Now India will be Muslim Majority County. Muslims can't be oppressed in this time 😭

Oh, it has been lovely to see you grow several hundred thousands while I have watched your videos.
You do make an aspiring historian interested.
There's an African/Nubian ruler that was a complete badass. His name is King Piankhi of Kush. He invaded egypt and created the 25 dynasty. His Stele of Victory, details his war campaign in egypt, if you need reference for the video. Thanks.
Every student who loves indian history at least once read about Malik Ambar and his sharp political ideas during the mughal period and the behmani kingdom which later broke into five kingdoms
The art in this video is stunning -- absolutely top notch. Great job!
Thanks :-)
@Vedprakash Meena thanks for watching! 7 years of self training, and some 50 hours on Photoshop and After Effects, we are a team by the way and I am responsible for the art of this episode, that is why I answered.
*Mughals* : We'll win Deccan within years.
*Malik Amber exists.*
*Mughals* : I don't feel so good :(
@তৈমুর লং uhhh they never held deccan really
@তৈমুর লং Deccan says No to Mughals. And after the Deccan Sultanates, Maratha Empire & Nizam had the Deccan while Mughals were confined to Delhi only.
@@leaveme3559 well yes, but actually no

Thank you so much for this video. I’m Oromo and I sent this to my parents and they were so happy!
I love not not just because it shows the rise of a man from nothing to a Powerful position but an excellent strategy in battle .... These two are my favorite part of history
@Kings and Generals : Great video, just a small point, at the time of Malik Ambar, Aurangabad was known as Khadki, it was later named Aurabgabad due to Emperor Aurangzeb, who set up his base there in a futile bid to conquer Deccan. Also as for the ethnic and factional politics, the Ahmednagar Sultans having been Hindu converts themselves, were very inclusive of different races, and more capable sultans used these racial and ethnic factional rivalries to keep hold of power over their ministers and courtiers. In fact several native converted Sultanates such as the Nizam Shahis of Ahmednagar, the Imad Shahis of Berar, Muzaffarids of Gujarat and the Sharqis of Awadh, used Rajput, Hindustani Muslim, Afghan, Deccani (Muslims and Hindus) and Ethiopian(mostly in Deccan) factions as a political counterweight to the established power of the Turkic and Iranian generals and ministers. Even the Mughals continued this trend later. As for the Deccani system of war, a very telling fun fact reflecting the utterly baffled Mughal view of the Deccanis is an 18th century Mughal chronicler's amusing (but erroneous) conjecture that 'Maratha' name comes from the term 'Maar ke Hatta', literally hindi for one who hits and retreats. The Marathas erupted into central and North India in early 18th century, their cavalry armies quickly taking the provinces of Gujarat, Malwa and Bundelkhand from the Mughals, and even sacking Delhi, practicing 'Bargi-gari', or as they called it Ganimi Kava. The Mughals called this Qazzaki tactics. A very indicative battle to best encapsulate the culmination of the Bargi-gari mode of war would be the campaign if Palkhed 1728, this battle by the Maratha Peshwa would be later given high praises by the WW II Field Marshal Montgommery in his book on the history of warfare. Check out Sir Jadunath Sarkar's book 'Military History of India', it is freely available online on Archive.org. Once again thanks for this splendid work on Indian history.
Such a great job, once again! This was a very inspirational story, and something I will teach my children.
Man I have been literally living in Ahmednagar for my entire life, and history is my favourite subject still I didn’t knew about this great Man
Maybe you just thought that History was your fav subject.
How tf can you not know history of your locality.
