The historical building will be in ruins, if not infested with squatters. The British have done more to conserve our Monuments than we have to date in Modern India.

And as for Spain it was conquered by Umayyad dynasty who were imperialist and abolished the political system of Islam and even in Spain they didn't persecute anyone and a fact that Jewsish cultural golden age started under Muslim rule of Spain and Christians were also tolerated. And u tell me if Hindus were persecuted why even today Hindus are a majority in most of India. Why r there Christians in Egypt when it was continuously ruled by Muslims for 1400 years. And also Arab Jews and Christians. Afghan Jews and Christians until now.

      ШИРИШ India may not have been politically one unit, but then the concept of a nation state itself is a relatively recent one and no nation including the European ones did existed until recently(relatively). But India as an idea is very ancient one. The identity 'Indian' is also an ancient one and a civilizational one like a Greek or a Chinese. There are ample proofs for this like the details of what is Bharath (India) and who is a Bharathiya(Indian) as given in Garuda Purana, Shankaracharya setting up four mutt's in four corners of the country, shaktipeeta's spread across India, the Concept of chakravartin, or all the dynasties originating in the subcontinent claiming decendence from either from suryavamsha or chandravamsha and so on.

      Well, I hate to be 'THAT' guy but there were no Indo-Chinese relations, only Chinese Buddhists monk visited India. The reason why it was like this is because the Han Chinese considered themselves superior to others (Similarly how Aryans consider themselves superior).
      Now this was actually valid from a certain point of view as the Chinese were far advanced compared to other civilizations, and never really cared about outside world(Except maybe for the Ming). This would actually come to strike them in the back after 19th century, a era which is referred in their history as "The century of humiliation" which lasted from 1849 to 1949.

    6:47 "Every year on the 8th day in the 2nd month, they celebrate a procession of images"
    I believe this is a description of Shiva Ratri (the night of Shiva)
    Faxian is likely using the Chinese calendar when speaking to his Chinese audience. The equivalent day on the Hindu calendar would be the 8th day of the bright fortnight in the month of Phalguni. This is five days before Shiva Ratri, one of the largest Hindu festivals.
    It may be processions of the various deities of Pataliputra began in the week leading up to the festival.
    Faxian further describes continuous overnight worship at 7:35. He describes this as happening all throughout India, which it still does to this day on Shiva Ratri.

    • @ssam00
      @ssam00 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      It could be other festivals too. There are many calendars in India and Phalgun is not the second month in many of those. It could be Durga Puja/ Navaratri which happens on literally the 8th day of the waning lunar fortnight in Ashwin (September-October) or, as per older traditions, in Chaitra (March-April). Processions remind one of Ratha Yatra. It can also be some ancient festival now forgotten or celebrated differently

I do have a question though, are non Hindus allowed into the temples to see inside? Here in Canada the Shiks allow non Shiks into the temples for certain occasions. They will feed the hungry and homeless people and offer shelter to the homeless when it get very cold during the winter time.

Most professionally recorded chants or traditional music need copyright clearance/permission to use and they cost a lot. Even simply grabbing music from, say, other TH-cam videos or your CDs, to use in your video is considered copyright infringement. Smaller or personal channels might get away with using copyrighted music but channels that wish to grow know to avoid them for the risk of copyright claims.

    While in Pataliputra, Fa Xian observed a festival during which the people built gigantic four-wheel wagons and then built towers on them that were five storeys high. They then covered the towers in fine white linen and decorated them with canopies of embroidered silk. He says that the people placed idols of their gods within these structures and images of the Buddha on the corners of the wagons.
    On the day of the festival, twenty such wagons would be pulled through the city in a grand procession. Devotees from everywhere, ranging from the royal family to the poor, were part of the festivities. They offered prayers and flowers to the gods and lit lamps in the evening. The whole city became like a fair ground with amusements and games. On this day, the rich made generous donations to the poor and physicians even held free health clinics for them.

    Why is nobody talking about 6:03 where he mentions that the massive yet beautiful" Royal Palaces and intricate art work in the massive hall ways across the various cities were created / made BY SPIRITS which were employed / controlled by these mighty kings . These SPIRITS piled up and lifted the stones which weighed anywhere from 1 ton to 50 sometimes even 100 tons with ease and also created beautiful artwork and sculptures which are impossible even today with means of all the technology at our disposal we still cannot carve hard rocks and stones into beautiful sculptures that one sees in the temples of Khajuraho, Ajanta Ellora or the maasive sky high temples of the south. There was some kind of alien technology being used here and the monks called them "SPIRITS" which these mighty hindu kings had but sadly all that has been destroyed by the Mughals earlier & whatever was left the British Empire destroyed it. No wonder neither the Mughals nor the British structures have any kind of intricate and highly detailed sculptures in any of their monuments the likes of which are seen in these Indian palaces & temples even today. Even the Taj Mahal considered to be one of the 8th wonders of the world Does Not have a single detailed sculpture and pales in comparison to the thousands of hindu temples across the length and breadth of India. Look at the Dilwara Temples , Khajuraho , temples in the north & south. The Mughals could never understand / master / achieve those technologies or control them so they destroyed them and the rest what was left of the mightiest and richest nation in the world was pillaged and plundered by the British EAST INDIA CO & Royals for more than 200 years. India never Invaded or attacked any other nation till date and still it was the most powerful. Scholars like these chinese monks would travel from far and wide across the world to India for its teachings at Nalanda which was the university of the world ! All destroyed by the Mughals.

      Modern India is still much more advanced than ancient India. This is an ancient Chinese monk being impressed by a region that is relatively more advanced than what he's used to back home. That doesn't mean it was advanced by our standards. The only reason we think we're backward today is because we compare ourselves to advanced first world nations. It's all about who you're comparing yourself to. An average Indian today has a much better life than an average Indian in the 4th century. But the 4th century (higher caste) Indian had a better life than a Chinese contemporary. Like an average Australian has a better life today than an Indian contemporary.
