Awesome video once again and good to have you back after a month! Especially loved how you concluded the video - always extremely important when it comes to making conclusions about ancient world 🙌
Please describe about Great Maurya Emperor Samprati . His life story is described in Jain scripture like 'Sampratikatha', 'Parishistaparva', and 'Prabhavakcharita'.Though the Jain traditions mention that the rule of Emperor Samprati lasted for 53 years. His administrative decisions were very inspired by a Jain monk "Suhastin"
Having recently discovered your channel, wish I had come across it earlier 😀 great work, and keep it up! A drama-free Indian antiquity history channel was sorely needed!
Hi Jay! I really applaud the quality and research of your presentations. What a tremendous effort towards populrizing Indian history!!!! Wanted to ask you, if you have been following Yajna Devam's work on the decipherment of Indus Script which has been gaining a steady popularity on the news and internet. He uses mathematical tools like cryptography to prove that the Indus script is an older version of Sanskrit and the Brahmi script was a later evolution of Indus Alphabets. While his connection of the deciphered texts to Vedas and Puranas do sound less convincing, I would like to know what do you think generally about the credibility of his work. Thanks, and always a pleasure to watch you.

fav history channel. literally binging. Also, can you please make a video on Ashoka and Kalinga revisited. Some academic debates clarity is needed with regards to his alleged conversion 2 years before the war. Also, the allegations of him killing thousands of ajivikas and jainas after the war.
Thank you, About your first question, I have done a detailed video on Kalingan war on my Hindi Channel. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/51RcxvK1vXw/w-d-xo.html About Ashoka's conversion to Buddhism, watch this one th-cam.com/video/Ix_i5Y4t8Fk/w-d-xo.html
you have presented the fact and source very nicely . but just for recomendation i suggest you to have video in hindi language so that you could connect with general mass easily
Can you please review the movie Amrapali (1966) in terms of its historical accuracy? I really like this movie because of how lush, grand and beautiful it is. I love Vyajanthimala's dance sequences so much and I think she was stunning as Amrapali. She was probably one of the best dancers in Hindi cinema followed by Waheeda, Sridevi, Madhuri and Aishwarya in my opinion. But Vyajanthimala was the first. I am curious about how the movie holds up in terms of its historical accuracy. Please try not to be too mean to the movie though, thanks a lot. This channel is amazing.
Small video on titles and roles of ancient nobility of India. Chakravarthy, maharajadhiraja, maharaja, rajadhi Raja, Raja, Samantha Raja, janapada pratinidhi etc.
Jay please discuss about dynasty of maharaja Nagabhatta and Bappa Rawal Kal Bhoja. How they defeated islamic invaders? ♤ Make podcast on jain Maharaja Samprati grandson of Ashoka
If the Harappans had managed to survive and continue their writing system then maybe we would understand our own history the way the Chinese know their own
If the Commander In Chief killed the Emperor, then this suggests that the Empire had a military with more power than it should have had. This usually happens in militarised societies i.e., societies that use military solutions to most of their problems. This is the opposite of a pacifist society, which one of the theories suggests.
6:40 bherighosha is replaced by dhammaghosha this could mean the “sounds of war drums” has been replaced by “sounds of chanting”. This could signify Ashoka had achieved a hegemony and there were no wars. Just like Pax Romana, Pax Brittania, a state of Pax Ashoka arose. There were no longer wars and people were free to practice religions.
It is interesting that whenever india comes under the control of powerful centralizing military dynasties, viz. the mauryas, guptas, marathas, which is a cornerstone of the formation of nationhood, they seem to get ousted / usurped by dynasties of priestly origins viz, shungas, vakatakas, peshwas.
Might be mauryan emperor dasarath who was the last ruler was unpopular.. may be majority followed Brahmanical religion and Mauryan emperor was forcing sramana-buddhism on people which made him unpopular? in 185 BC Pusyamitra became Emperor, Greek buddhists of bactria were upset. They snatched Arachosia(Kandahar, zabul province) , Makaran coast(Gedrosia), Gandhara (Peshawar vaelly, kabul valley ghazni gardez included) and captured up to indus. Soon vidarbha (east maharashtr) became independent. But Agnimitra probably regained south. Agnimitra also defeated Greek along Indus. Punjab was still with shunga
The answer is simple - Hellenic colonization of India and Iran. You will understand this once you look at Indic history in an international context. After Alexander's devastation of the Indus valley in 326 BCE, he died soon thereafter in Babylon but produced enough damage so that the later Greeks were able to gain a foothold in Iran, Bactria and Punjab (with Bactria as their main base). The Greeks terrorized the local population in Punjab, Sindh and Rajasthan and were simply unbothered about local population and customs just like the British 2,000 years later. The Selucid polity in Iran was interested in exploiting the whole of Iran, India, Bactria and Babylon just like the British Empire. It was basically an empire of loot and barbarism - at that time mostly cattle and other animals, farm produce, gemstones, etc. Ashoka's patronage of Buddhist monks basically provided Greek soldiers an opportunity to dress up as Buddhist Bhikshus and gain refuge in Viharas as freebooters. To summarize, the patronage of Buddhism was responsible only indirectly - not directly, for the disintegration of the Mauryan Empire.
translations of pali (indo aryan language probably one of the ancestor of Hindi) canon (pali canon is foremost buddhis text; authentic saying of buddha) are available online. When you read it you will find that Deities mentioned in Vedas like Indra, Brahma are mentioned in Pali canon. Even Vehnu (pali for Vishnu) is mentioned in it. Brahmins are mentioned, sacrifices are mentioned in pali canon. Thus the Hinduism that you know now , big temples or worshipping in temples with temple festivals were not present at all or were present in smaller scale during Buddha or Maurya period. The Brahmanical religion was Vedic following Dashapurnamasa, Sthalipakam, Agnishayanam, Agnishtomam, Athirathram, Somayaga, Vajapeya , ishtis and other Vedic Shrautha rituals. Dieties were the 12 adityas, 11 Rudras, 2 aswini devta , 10 vasus.. Rudra, Shiva , Vishnu can be found in Vedas along with Indra, Mithra -varuna, Aswini, Pusha, Brahmanaspati, Agni, Maruts, Soma etc ... But megasthanese do mention about existence of temples in ancient india in his book Indica. So we cannot 100% say temples were not present during mauryan age and Brahmins were doing only homa rituals (fire offering). However even Shungas, Mauryan rulers like Bindusara, many Satavahana kings who were patrons of brahmanical religion (Proof their inscriptions) did not build imposing temples... instead they helped Brahmins generously to complete Vedic Srauta rituals.... These kings who patrolnised brahmnism also helped Buddhist monks setup large structures like Chaityas (Monk assembly hall), Viharas (monastries) and stupas. But with the rise of Banavasi Kadamba in south india and Guptas in north India around 300 AD large Hindu temples began to be constructed.
So when you say temples were built only after 800 CE it is incorrect. But large temples were started constructing in india mostly by 300 AD with the rise of Gupta, Kadamba, pallava dynasties. Probably Brahmins understood that large buddhist structures like monasteries (Viharas) were attracting common people, and Brahmin Vedic srauta rituals and homas not attracting many. Hence Brahmins too started building huge imposing temples . This was probably a strategy to Hinduise the common masses
According to buddhist source pushamitra is a mauryan as his name also suggest pussa is the name of one of the previous buddha of 28 buddha list and mitra or mitta is common in both iranian and indian origina like the sangamitra or sangamitta the daughter of asoka himself
Bamans becoz it that was pali. And dont say that it is not referring to bhramins😂. I know your propoganda. Literally all words translate like this. For example dhamma--- dharma Baman-bhraman
There is not a single Purana that tells exactly when or which date the Mauryan empire ended - what is the evidence taken from which Purana? according to various Puranas, 12 Maurya kings ruled for 316 years & the last king of the Maurya dynasty was Brhadratha. The Puranas record that Brhadratha ruled for 93 years, which indicates that (1) he did not have capable successors or (2) he was clinging to power way past his prime. He was uprooted by his own senapati, Pushyamitra Shunga, who started the Shunga dynasty. The Matsya Puran records that 10 kings of the Shunga dynasty ruled for a total of 300 years Note that Chanakya uprooted the Nanda-vansh to establish the Maurya dynasty, so this phenomenon is not such a rare occurrence. Maha-Padma-Nanda founded the Nanda dynasty, which ruled Magadha for a total of 100 years (out of which Maha-Padma-Nanda himself ruled for 88 years).
Here is a question I have always wondered. Did the legacy of mauryan empire carry on in ancient india like the Romans. Similar to how European kings in medival era tried to show themselves as successors to roman, did it happen in india too with the mauryas. Would be great if youcould answer tht
I don't think this ever happened in the Indian case. If you want to know how Mauryan Kings esp Ashoka was remembered in history, you can watch this video th-cam.com/video/dKv1oevgdbI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JayVardhanSingh
It would have had to have happened at least in a cultural sense. Even when the mauryan dynasty was no longer in charge the city of Pataliputra itself remained as the capital of northern India till the end of the Guptas… isn’t that so? And the guptas themselves must have admired the mauryans to name one (or was it two) of their kings “Chandra Gupta”
Dude all the scriptures contains history mixed with mythos, the aboloty to seperate them is what matters. In meany every scriptures whether its from Buddhism, Jainism or Hinduism.
Hi sir I keep on seeing some Jay bheem Neo Buddhist channels saying that Buddhism was the world oldest religion and it was the religion of Indus valley. And there is no proof of Hinduism. So can you make a separate video on just the earliest archeological and other evidence of Hindusim before 5th century? I know about Mittani script dating to 1350 BC but what other proof do we have. Please make a video because these jai bheem channels keep on saying there is no proof.
Mauryas weren't tribe , kid first learn proper thing , mauryas belong to shakas ,same descendants of lord Ram , suryavanshi , and today's kushwaha whose other name are koeiri , kachwaha ,murayas are descendent of the lord Ram son named kush
Do you really need to be this castist ki behenchd wohlog konse tribe ya caste se the? Your surname explains everything. Ek pal kalie man bhi lie woh yadav ke the iska mtlab ye ni ki tu unki trah bangya ya tu woh hai, dimag se kam le bhai thoda basic common sense la dimag mai. Chandragupt ki ma ka name mura tha waha se muryan padha ya muryan vansh.
You know why I don't like these history writers,,, they have arguments and opinions. While in graduation student even in exams have to follow these books rather than applying their mind and give their own ideas.
Sir ji kya satwahan bhi apne ko maurya ka wanshaaj mante the, fahiyan jab Bharat aaya tha wah batata hai ki kandhar me maurya ke wanshaj rajya kar rahe the, Sindh me bhi Raja dahir se pahale unka hi rajya tha, parmar wansh bhi maurya ke wanshaj the, takshak nag ka sahi nam takh moriya tha
Tirthika(actual beggars) from greeko bactrian empire misused Mahayana culture and to spread their barbarian culture across the subcontinent, these people even corrupted the word Aryan 😅
nonsence. that is Brahmins. stop your anti Hinduism, anti brahmanism... Indra, Brahma, vedic dieties, Brahmins were in buddha's saying and this was written in pali canon
ashok also calls him devanampriya... dear to devas... celestial sightings of deva cars inreased according to his edicts.. Brahmanism and sramanism was prevalant in those times
Matsya, Vayu, and other Purans are not as old as general public thought, and Mahabharata and Ramayana as well. I don't think Buddhism made the Mourya empire weak. Instead, it was because of Buddhism Ashoka and the Maurya Empire's fame spread across the world. it could be infighting among jealousness. which gave pushyamitra shung who was a trusted senapati to betray mourya Empire. it reminds me of the story of Chachnama.
Indeed, I must have been due to infighting among various factions for the Throne, and that gave an opportunity to the Fringe elements like Pushyamitra Sungh
ramayan and Mahabharat is too old,they were written before buddha era lord ram's name came in one Mesopotamia's king letter as well,which is 3500 years old it is true that time to time editing had happened in them(source of my information-Purattava journal)
Hinduism (brahminism now called Hindu-ism from Persian mispronunciation of Sindhu) is the reason behind Mughal empire ruled for 500 years and then Britishers for 200 years. Lindus couldn't fight them...
buddhist societies of bangladesh and pakistan collapsed to islam much faster than hindus... but you may be right. hinduism is not great in mobilising and uniting people against others
@@erdogan123erdogan4they were so called Hindus back then not budhhist. it was the result of budhhist and so called Hinduism conflict. Budhhist were able to spread their religions to China South Korea combodia and Thailand etc too. So budhhism's erosion from india was result of brahminism (now called Hinduism) vs budhhism conflict not Islam..... Also China is majority budhhist Islam tried but never invade it same with British
Mauryan Empire declined due to the similar reasons why Mughal Empire declined after Aurangzeb. Too much of diverse territory under a central authorit and religious intolerance.
I’m not sure I buy the religious angle. It was Buddhism. But perhaps too much money spent on worthless wars and too many people who hated the mauryans for their own reasons
@@tvrulz46 your statement is very generalized. "Too many people hated for their own reasons" Ashok was a religious bigot just like Aurangzeb who persecuted the Hindus. He imposed the charlatan religion on the masses.
@@tushargoyal554 it’s generalized due to lack of specific evidence available to us about that period. There is also not much evidence Ashoka was a religious bigot like Aurangzeb. But generally in history empires that are too big to last are destroyed from within by several factions and people with their own competing interests tearing the state into different directions. That is also what happened to the successors of aurangzeb.
@@sagjoshi puranas were written in a long time frame (4th century bc to 11 century ad) And most of the history of India written by European scholars got their source from puranas Because puranas provide details of the rulers of many dynasties in a chronological order. And also from Buddhist and jain literature And Buddhism and Jainism originated around the time when puranic literature was being written
@@Gameplay24711 indica exaplian Chandra Gupta maurya is the worshipper of lord Shiva(dinoysus)and hare krishna(heracleus) there is also a primary source "tikla" cave art of lord Krishna belong 3Rd century BCE of Chandra Gupta maurya era and the kuninda coins of 300-200 BCE showing trident with Shiva image with brahmi script "bhagwato chattreshwara mahatmana"

Ohh that's tuff English Didn't understand what u said in last bro???
Maybe the formation of the National Identity centralised under a single flag was against the interests of the Priestly classes.
Indian priests are leg pulling frogs. They cannot accept an achiever as their superior. Now RSS pulling Modi's leg.
Doesn't necessarily have to be of priestly origins. It's Power play. Whenever instability happens, there's an opportunity for the rivals.
Guptas were Brahmans too and Marathas were ruled by Peshwa (Brahman) .

Mughal Empire comes in medieval India. He only make videos about ancient India
Might be mauryan emperor dasarath who was the last ruler was unpopular.. may be majority followed Brahmanical religion and Mauryan emperor was forcing sramana-buddhism on people which made him unpopular? in 185 BC Pusyamitra became Emperor, Greek buddhists of bactria were upset. They snatched Arachosia(Kandahar, zabul province) , Makaran coast(Gedrosia), Gandhara (Peshawar vaelly, kabul valley ghazni gardez included) and captured up to indus.
Soon vidarbha (east maharashtr) became independent. But Agnimitra probably regained south. Agnimitra also defeated Greek along Indus. Punjab was still with shunga

Mauryas weren't tribe , kid first learn proper thing , mauryas belong to shakas ,same descendants of lord Ram , suryavanshi , and today's kushwaha whose other name are koeiri , kachwaha ,murayas are descendent of the lord Ram son named kush
Do you really need to be this castist ki behenchd wohlog konse tribe ya caste se the? Your surname explains everything. Ek pal kalie man bhi lie woh yadav ke the iska mtlab ye ni ki tu unki trah bangya ya tu woh hai, dimag se kam le bhai thoda basic common sense la dimag mai. Chandragupt ki ma ka name mura tha waha se muryan padha ya muryan vansh.
Hara prasad shastri, not Hari Prasad Shastri

You know why I don't like these history writers,,, they have arguments and opinions. While in graduation student even in exams have to follow these books rather than applying their mind and give their own ideas.
Sir ji kya satwahan bhi apne ko maurya ka wanshaaj mante the, fahiyan jab Bharat aaya tha wah batata hai ki kandhar me maurya ke wanshaj rajya kar rahe the, Sindh me bhi Raja dahir se pahale unka hi rajya tha, parmar wansh bhi maurya ke wanshaj the, takshak nag ka sahi nam takh moriya tha

Ashok edict. Says about bamans not bramhins
nonsence. that is Brahmins. stop your anti Hinduism, anti brahmanism... Indra, Brahma, vedic dieties, Brahmins were in buddha's saying and this was written in pali canon
ashok also calls him devanampriya... dear to devas... celestial sightings of deva cars inreased according to his edicts.. Brahmanism and sramanism was prevalant in those times
Both are same kust like dhamma and dharma. Dont lie.
Matsya, Vayu, and other Purans are not as old as general public thought, and Mahabharata and Ramayana as well. I don't think Buddhism made the Mourya empire weak. Instead, it was because of Buddhism Ashoka and the Maurya Empire's fame spread across the world. it could be infighting among jealousness. which gave pushyamitra shung who was a trusted senapati to betray mourya Empire. it reminds me of the story of Chachnama.
Buddhism was one of the reason of decline, it was not practiced by masses and the teachings of Buddhism are incompatible with lives of householders.
Actual fact is it was ashoka who speed Buddhism spread around world not ashok because of buddism
Indeed, I must have been due to infighting among various factions for the Throne, and that gave an opportunity to the Fringe elements like Pushyamitra Sungh
General public's thoughts can't be used as a historical source
we are not talking about fairy tales & folk tales
ramayan and Mahabharat is too old,they were written before buddha era lord ram's name came in one Mesopotamia's king letter as well,which is 3500 years old it is true that time to time editing had happened in them(source of my information-Purattava journal)
Hinduism (brahminism now called Hindu-ism from Persian mispronunciation of Sindhu) is the reason behind Mughal empire ruled for 500 years and then Britishers for 200 years. Lindus couldn't fight them...
buddhist societies of bangladesh and pakistan collapsed to islam much faster than hindus... but you may be right. hinduism is not great in mobilising and uniting people against others
@@erdogan123erdogan4they were so called Hindus back then not budhhist. it was the result of budhhist and so called Hinduism conflict. Budhhist were able to spread their religions to China South Korea combodia and Thailand etc too. So budhhism's erosion from india was result of brahminism (now called Hinduism) vs budhhism conflict not Islam..... Also China is majority budhhist Islam tried but never invade it same with British
Mauryan Empire declined due to the similar reasons why Mughal Empire declined after Aurangzeb. Too much of diverse territory under a central authorit and religious intolerance.
I do not see any difference between Ashoka and Aurangzeb.
I’m not sure I buy the religious angle. It was Buddhism. But perhaps too much money spent on worthless wars and too many people who hated the mauryans for their own reasons
@@tvrulz46 your statement is very generalized. "Too many people hated for their own reasons"
Ashok was a religious bigot just like Aurangzeb who persecuted the Hindus. He imposed the charlatan religion on the masses.
@@tushargoyal554 no evidence
@@tushargoyal554 it’s generalized due to lack of specific evidence available to us about that period. There is also not much evidence Ashoka was a religious bigot like Aurangzeb.
But generally in history empires that are too big to last are destroyed from within by several factions and people with their own competing interests tearing the state into different directions.
That is also what happened to the successors of aurangzeb.
Abe Ghochun its History n not Puranas
History, we got from puranas
Budhist and jain Texts
@@HereRNotes get ur facts right, Buddhism n Jainism came far later, n there is a difference between Puranas n History.
@@sagjoshi puranas were written in a long time frame (4th century bc to 11 century ad)
And most of the history of India written by European scholars got their source from puranas
Because puranas provide details of the rulers of many dynasties in a chronological order.
And also from Buddhist and jain literature
And Buddhism and Jainism originated around the time when puranic literature was being written
