I am a big fan of your channel Abhijitji, but to be fair to Graham, he DOES talk about India (and in a positive way) in his books. I haven't seen any episode of Ancient Apocalypse yet, but there was some other show that had Graham in it (I forgot the name of the show though) and in that show he talks to David Frawley about the Saraswati River and how Indian Civilisation might be thousands of years older than mainstream Indologists say it is. In that same show, he also talks about the archaeological discoveries that have been made in Dwaraka and Tamil Nadu (if I remember correctly). Also, Graham's wife is an Indian and that means his children are half-Indian. I'm pretty sure Graham is favourable toward India, Indians, Hinduism and Hindus.
I ve seen a trend. Historians either try to avoid talking about hinduism completly OR try to associate hindu objects with Buddhism. An example of this from social media i remember is the picture of that Elon musk posted back in 2020-21 in which there was a Vajra. That is a weapon of Indra from Hinduism. But everyone on social media including experts called it a Buddhist artifact. Its a very weird trend.
I did not watch his documentary but heard some podcasts. Seems like he is quite aware of the antiquity of Indian civilization and very respectful of it. His wife is Indian too. And his dislikes of Christianity is well known. May be u r conflating him with someone else? or may be his views has changed over time...
Um, he has? Come on, at least be truthful when criticising someone. You know Graham's wife is Indian and his children are half-Indian, don't you? Graham is not anti-Indian.

The problem lies in the dating. Any time I look up dates on our underwater ruins - no official document I see puts them beyond 3000BC - which seems to be a generally agreed date when it comes to India. So if no one accepts officially that we are 12,000 plus years old as a civilization we are not going to have the Hancock's of the world treat this as a candidate for the "first civilization"
I am a devotee of Sathya Sai Baba. Sathya Sai Baba said that Ramayan happened 20,000 years ago. I always believe that everything Sathya Sai Baba said is true no matter what and that is why I believe that Ramayan happened 20,000 years ago. That means that Indian history goes back AT LEAST 20,000 years.

His wife is Indian and he has shown interest in India. But it seems he does not have enough funding it seems.He was on Flagrant podcast recently and spoke about India. On the same podcast he has said that the Aryan Invasion Theory is incorrect and needs to be abandoned. th-cam.com/users/shortsHIROtsXu-h0?si=oMIOduNUwFYxatxs

He said that he did diving in tamil nadu and he also went to mahabalipuram
No sir, graham's wife is tamil also on flagrant podcast he talks about india to be the oldest civilization he claims yoga to be older than 5000 years

I think abhijit sir should write a book on ancient indian history and how it connects with the world..
Love you Chavdi sir ❤
Billy Carson is much more good on indian data and ancient Technology than anyone☺☺
Graham Hancock has not heard about "kumari kandam"
Um, he has? Come on, at least be truthful when criticising someone. You know Graham's wife is Indian and his children are half-Indian, don't you? Graham is not anti-Indian.
indeed sir
Hancock theory is very insightful and thoughtful. Yah ! I agree with ur assessment that he kinda avoids India,,,,,,,,Why ?

4:17 I disagree on this part sir. His conclusions are generally logical.
Yes even i wonder why hancock avoids india...
Western superiority bias they only report civilization which are lost because acknowledging indian ancient roots hampers their world view
Not everything he says is logical, most of them are but some of them are baseless assumptions he makes
@@Cursoryclipsjust like you English man can't digest fact😂😂😂
No
Why do western people deliberately ignore Indians 😢 they never give any kind of credits to India 😢

Graham Hancock resembles Indiana Jones. 🔥
Graham Hancock is the real-life Indiana Jones.
His wife is Indian and he has shown interest in India. But it seems he does not have enough funding it seems.He was on Flagrant podcast recently and spoke about India.
