    I am grateful to be alive at a time when i can go on youtube and listen to people, who are passionate about a certain topic, have a discussion on a new perspective on something with such excitement

    Devdutt time travelled to Harappan times, spoke in their language, invented Pashupati seal, sculptured Harappan bronze lady and came back in 2024, deciphered Harappan language to tell that they were capitalists and not Marxists to the disappointment of Comrade Brinda Karat 😂

      Yep. He is one of the pseudo intellectuals and tries to promote his myths as facts.

      Marxists having Hindu names is a big tragedy indeed!! For instance, this bloke & many of his ilk have a lot more "Asur" than any "Dev" in their actions & Karma!!

    L w ing journalism and L w ing history are similar in methods - the ends justify the story-making. The bravado of truth-certainty in both is staggering - they simply know that they are right. However, satyameva jayate!

    Before scrolling down please note that Devdutt has clearly stated that the Harappan part a scholarly "speculation," but some people who have no capacity to go thru the video actively will just keep throwing mud at this man out of sheer stupidity. Being a student of history myself, I do have some disagreements with him on particular interpretations and details but that said, many people opposing him often do so out of political bias and has nothing academic about their opinion.

      BS!! All of Devdutt ideological bros. i.e. leftist/Nehruvaadi historians admitted in court that they made history up like stories!! They also admitted that they had zero knowledge of facts and even languages like Sanskrit or Persian to truly write history concerning Bharat or be called academic historians at all!!

    I am listening to him since long time ( he is of course a good storyteller) but what I feel or observed that he makes things up on the spot and create a story for the crowed and when someone question him he would reply it is my truth it's my story .... N ram of the Hindu asks some question to him and his reply would make you laugh but it of course baffled N Ram...many times I have observed him defending brammins action very clearly and That is how I feel many times!! Take him with pinch of salt.

    Maybe Devdutt is onto something here, especially if he says he can find similarities in Central Asia and the Helmath(?) plateau. If combined with DP idea that indian big books are concerned not with power, Kings etc, but more with can u feed the other, a more gentle, soft ,feminine even, approach. Also Chinese culture probly centres on that. See the "shengren" concept, totally misinterpreted in our westernised tradition. For correction read Thorsten Pattberg regarding the concept Shengren.

    I would guess mythology will be the last thing to be decoded from a civilization as most of it is lost with the people. But this guy is trying totally opposite. It's like decoding Vaishnavism from Rs.1 coin 2000 years from now.

    In Tamizh Samana Tantra Aaseevagam tradition a society is categorized into four
    Producers- farmers
    Merchants
    Rulers
    Anthanar- philosopher/saint
    This was maliciously twisted for the Brahminism later as caste hierarchy... But originally it was a good Tamizh Samana ethos where wisdom(Anthanam) alone will lead a society

    What is Hinduism?
    +++++++++++++++
    I have long pondered on what constitutes this so called religion that is sitting on the head of my Tamizh people and have come up with some conclusions ....
    The priest from the Zoroastrian religion came to india with their Avestan language and fire rituals and later created some slogans in old Sanskrit to form the Vedas which was never written down.
    These priest learnt the principles of the Samana tradition that originated in the southern part of the sub continent namely in the Tamizh tradition and started incorporating it into their already existent vaiteegam rituals and produced the Upanishads and became vegetarians.
    For a solid philosophical footing which they needed in a highly philosophical Tamizh infused land about the 8th century Adi Sankara came up with Advaita logic that distorted the original Buddhist thoughts and produced a dichotomical nonsense which did not last the test of time.
    Later they took up the Tantric Samana Tamizh tradition and put forth the bakti religiosity. This they took also from the Christian tradition and desperately created for the Islamic onslaught. Bakti was based on erotism and appealed to the masses. The high Samana tantric philosophical basis was ruined for the newly conjectured 'Hindu' religion of the wretched puranic tales.
    This is the history of the Priestly class(Brahmins) that still retain their priesthood in the agamic temples that held sway through the bakti movement from the 10th century onwards. The consecutive non-Tamizh rulers firmly rooted the new found 'Hindu' religion with its caste system( the four varnas) that the British gave the final seal to....
