“We Bow to the Gods but keep the Reins of the Chariot in our own Hands"
― A Quote by Ashoka The Great
So he used to ride chariots ? But modern indians portray him as a horse rider or a elephant rider.

One day india will raise again👌
And then go back to ruins and then divide and then again unite then again one day it will rise, the cycle goes on.....
Nooo, no one can become superpower by Reject their culture and adopting other's blindly. Never🙏🙏🙏
@@uditraj8290 thats what we are saying
@@akshitkathait7955 everything comes and goes away,
it is our duty to perform aqctions which will influence the world
india shall rise
indian culture hasnt died when greek, roman, all of their cultures died out
hinduism shall persevere
our ancestors worked for it, and so shall our descendants
cope
Not millenium of humiliation but around 700 years combined both islamic and british occupation
Not even 700 years..you have Rajputs in Rajasthan, vijaynagara empire in south, Ahoms, cholas, Marathas.. They didn't mention about parmaras, chandela, solankis who resisted islamic invasion
Islamic Invasions on India started in around 750 A.D by Arabs on Afghan Provinces |(Gandhara). Which were part of Bhaarat. Till 1700s, Mughals had their influence, That makes it 1000 years. 2 Centuries of British rule from 1700 ~ 2014, Including the Italian Gandhi Dynasty. India truly became free in 2014.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳🚩
Sir I want to know how can we study our old scriptures like vedha , Upanishads and various texts so that we ca learn whatever that we lost
Read these books from Gorakhpur Press. They have kept the original translations as it is since ages.
@@ever_a_myth4147 thank you very much
@@ever_a_myth4147 NEVER read translations. The Vedas are Brahma Vakya, they are in seed form, and each sentence contains tons of info, and how much a person can gain depends on himself. Such is lost in translation where its only one's interpretation, not to mention we dunno if they translated correctly or not.
Learn sanskrit and read them yourself. You might wanna go and read Satyarth Prakash by Swami Dayanand Sarasvati first, to see the overall way to reading them. Next would Yog Darshan, then follow the pathway described in Satyarth Prakash.
I myself dont know where exactly to acquire the vedas to read from, they are incomplete iirc, Dayanand Sarasvati couldn't recover all of them and died prematurely. But as long as you read the pure sanskrit vedas, you'll be better off than reading translations. You may use Bhasyas of various Rishis to understand some points but dont rely on them blindly.
Like the individuals in the Bihar Govt. cannot stop mentioning chanakya on every turn and then they turn to ban alcohol.
Buddhism is a Separate Religion🙏🙏 Founder Lord Gautam Buddha, Hinduism is more like Tradition, Culture, no Founder, no Preacher. Super Powerful Emperors Ashoka, Kanishka were Fond of BUDDHISM, religion of Peace, Equality. The Kings Patronized Buddhism and Spread Internationally the Teachings of Lord Buddha. Why mix Hinduism, Vedic culture,Gods with Buddhism when they are Two different, Separate Religion. People from Japan, Thailand, Tibet respect other Religions but they worship only Lord Buddha.
Before Buddhism Spread in Japan, Shinto was their own Indigenous Religion which has no Founder, no Preacher. Shinto worship inanimate objects. With Buddhism Spread in Japan from China, they became Fond of Buddhism, because Buddhism they found well organised religion🙏🙏 with Lord Buddha as a Founder, Preacher.
They Accepted Buddhism and in Japan today there are followers of Shin-Butsu. Shin - Shinto and Butsu is Buddhism, they follow both Shinto and Buddhism. Some follow only Shinto religion, some only Buddhism and few Irreligion.
The notion of Buddism being a separate entity from indian "Hindu" culture is a fabricated one by British historians who had a shallow understanding of india. Buddhism, Jainism and Ajivikas were just a part of indian religious debate just like Shaivism or vaishnavism. Once they overtook the entire india but with time, they declined. The forefathers of "Hindus" from today would have been preaching "Buddhism" in mauryan era. These terminologies were created by British for their convenience in classification. Why do you think the entire set of core philosophies are similar in Hinduism, jainism and Buddhism. According to all these religions, the ultimate goal of human life is to attain "nirvana" or "moksha". You won't find this core philosophy in Abrahamic religions.
U r brilliant

Bodhidharma taught Kalaripayattu. It was taught by Lord Shiva to the sixth incarnation of Lord Bishnu. So in essence, he propagated Hindu/Indian martial arts.
Buddhism and Hinduism are same
True

That is the reason to decline of buddism
Lol hell naw
Today india needs to learn from samudra Gupta
"Soft Power is merely a by-product of Hard-power" -- Very well-said, Sir.
Hollywood, Western Pop, Christmas & Disney cartoons influence us because US is a superpower now. We grew up on Enid Blyton, Lewis Caroll, Arthur Conan Doyle because of our colonial hangover from the erstwhile superpower Britain. When Soviet Union was a superpower, we had children's magazines like "Misha", got wowed by the Soviet Circus, Soviet fireworks & Ballet-on-ice. So true.....
Thanks for information
If Hindu religion was not spreading outside of Bharat, then how did Hindu temples reach to Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China and Philippines ??? Tumhaara question hi galat hai.

South East Asia was always Dharmic even in Ancient times. Cambodia was called "Champa" and Myanmar was called "Naga". These were Foreign Lands which retained Hindu Cultural influence since Mahabharata times. The Capital of Cambodian Khmer empire was - "Hariharalaya".
When you see references to Exotic tribes like Yaksha, Kinnara, Naga, Vidhyadhara in Mahabharata and Ramayana, these are the People they were talking about - Mostly South East and East Asians. Buddhism spread here only after Ashoka and Bodhi Dharma took it there. Before that, It was mostly Hindu. Buddhsts never tried to wipe out Hindu Culture in thnese lands, There was a Fufsion of both and they co-existed.
A Famous example is how Buddhist Monks renovated, cleaned and preserved the Hindu Temple of Angkor Wat for Centuries from ruins. If not for them, Angkor Wat would be in ruins. They daily cleaned the place, Repaired structures and made sure the place was not in Ruins by cutting Trees and Vegetarion which had crept up in the ruins.
Buddhism is not just only Indian missionary Dharma but it is also world's first religion that produced missionaries. And Deities like Shiva , Uma , Ganesh could be found in Buddhism too. But their position in Buddhism is bellow the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Lord Shiva is the Only God people Worship from more then 10 thousand years may be more time
Yeah such deities exist in Mahayana buddhism
@@vktrocks3685 Unfortunately there's no proof of your dogmatic claim.
come to south india you will know how much old is santhan dharama ,Shiva is first god,Buddha came in kaliyug,Shiva is there in yug yug ,adisankarcharya defeated Buddhism do u know that right ,read advaitha from guru not in you tube ,Vedas can't be read ,Vedas has to be learn from gurus ,u guys destroyed so many hindu temple and converted to Buddha see in Angkor watt you guys also same abhramic religion.
@@Mapogo792 where is proof for ur religion
Like your vedio and your deep knowledge about history.
Forget the literature, you can't understand intellectually. Adi yogi gave mankind the yoga(including dhyana) and later buddha by doing yoga and dhyana produce a new technique called vipassana. Both are the gift to humankind. OM
#askabhijit sir can u explain what is this thing in the middle of nowhere in usa at longitude 35.8902203 and latitude -117.671862 it looks like a spaceship and there are various military tanks and boat(the place is in mountains so why are there boats over there) also near it
People are not ready to understand that we are one, buddist,hindu and Jains are not Dharma just way of life, every thing comes under bharatiya sanskriti or bhartiya Dharma we celebrate each other's belief,but politics nowadays are dividing uss according to their convenience that's the sad reality 😢
My question : was kalinga war ever happened or it's a myth...?
If happened, who was the winner of the war.....
I am an ODIA and, a story written by the former CM of Odisha, smt, Nandini satapathy devi... It is clearly mentioned that Ashoka almost lost the kalinga war but kalinga also became almost man less, so ashoka declared peace in the fear of his failure.....
Story name : kalara kapola tale (କାଳ ର କପୋଳ ତଳେ )
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Totally fake story, if Ashoka declare peace in fear then how it is possible to have a Ashoka pillar and edict in kalinga(odissa).Be proud as odia because you are come from that land that change chand Ashoka to Devname priydasi Ashoka the Great.One of the Greatest administrator of the world history.and It is because of kalinga war.
The coin you used for your thumbnail very is interesting, being a collector and seller of collectible coins I've known of it for awhile. The reverse of the coin has a "Reptilian" humanoid figure in a sort of a priestly robe. Maybe you should of showed that and maybe explained why that is?
Bharatiya customs are everywhere
I have this coin displayed in Thumbnail but I don't know the authenticity any way how can I be sure ?
Thanks!
#AskAbhijit sir please speak about the Wall Street general front page advertisement funded by Ramachandra Viswanathan [the modi’s magnitsky 11]
Was there advanced knowledge or high tech innovations during the Mauran Empire, that modern world doesn't have access to? Also was the 9 unknown man's secret group a reality during the reign of Ashoka or is a myth?
Mauryan Dynasty barely lasted for 90 Years. Ashoka did nothing apart from propagating Pacifism and Buddhism.
@@bhanupratap1063 90 yrs? Wtf. It was around 140 years.
We dunno if there were or were not. Surely the metallurgy was so advanced that scientists still can figure out what Vishnu Stambh is, but dunno about advancements during that exact period.
#AskAbhijit sir I also wanted to ask if Manusmriti was the reason for the downfall of women's status in Indian society
The sense of history of our people is really messed up🙄.
Absolutely right we need to clear the things.
#askabhijit Sir, why indian govt divide j&k and ladakh if they are one then BJP has more chance to win j&k elections as we know kashmir has 47 seats while jammu region has 43 seats if we include ladakh's 4 seats then BJP get more chances of winning the elections
#AskAbhijit Why there is great variation on how the Indian Vedic and Shramanic religions influenced East and West? For ex- The Shinto, Taosim and esoteric Buddhism etc. in Japan, China, Indonesia are greatly influenced by Vedic and non-Vedic tradition and culture however similar can't be said for western region.
hinduism Buddhism jainism and Sikhism should have a common name like indian religion . so people can not confuse because when they are in ancient forms their is ideological difference not culture difference . they live as one since ancient times.
I have been watching a lot of your videos and unfortunately or fortunately I have started questioning the entire historical knowledge I have acquired... How do you suggest one should go about finding the truth ??? How can we validate claims... for all we know you might have an agenda as well (p.s I really appreciate your work but it has led me to this conundrum, believe it or not I am happy about it 😅)
how india become rich in ancient time before endouropin colonization.? was it initially India was rich? or no ? how ancient India is rich? what is the source of gold
Neutralise waampanth and Co. , Sanatan will shine with speed
#AskABHIJIT Sir, in the 2nd World war if Japan and Germany would have won, then what would be the structure of current Geopolitics or Post war geopolitics. Corresponding in India if Subhash Chandra Bose would succeed then he would be 1st PM? Also, India would be a communist country or a socialist country?.. 🙏
#AskAbhijit The relation between India and China have always been good Since ancient times, it's the events of past 100 or maybe 200 years, when the ethnic Chinese have seen India as an adversary, Do you think there is any possibility in future that India an China can regain their relation as once it used to be, maybe when the CCP goes down? Also do you think Americans or west were the ones to create animosity between India and China?.
Abhjit who controls the world?
Wokes and leftists for now...
US ellite
@@anuragdakshprajapati9983
Wokes control the USA...even biden is just a puppet....
NAV RATNA OF ASHOKA !!!! SO CALLED ILLUMINATI
Ashoka and YAVANAS (greeks) has deep relations !!!
#askabhijit Sir please tell about Queen DIDA of Kashmir who reigned from 980-1003 and is one of the first female ruler in India!!
#AskAbhijit Please shed some light on Shung Era established after end/decline of Maurya Era.
#AskAbhijit sir, I am really confused regarding the origin of Buddhism, some people say Gautam Buddha was 9th incarnation lord Vishnu and some say he was not instead it sugta budhha that was incarnation of vishnu. I have seen many Buddhist bad mouthing Hindu gods and the religion in its entirety, they claim Buddhism is whole other concept and it is not part of Hinduism and Vedas and gods are fake. so what's happening. please explain this
#AskAbhijit Who are the Lohanas of Gujarat?
सर आप अपना वीडियो हिंदी में बनाए ज्यादा ऑडियंस जुड़ेगी🙏🙏🙏
sir when you say that India has to be a 10trillion $ economy how exactly are we supposed to do that
#Askabhijit Sir is it a good decision now for the Indian students going to UK for education? Is stagflation going to happen?
#AskAbhijit sir I wanted to ask that did India really have fuedalistic mode of production during pre medieval Era?
Who was kanishka ??? 🤔
Search about kushan empire you will understand then.
Kushan empire my guy
Greatest King of kushan empire
#Askabhijit Sir What is true about Aryan invasion
#askabhijit tell us the reason,why there are Muslim Coins with Shiva's bull?
Ashoka did fratricide. Prior to Ashoka, there was a Indian-NATO from what is today's Pakistan/NW Frontier Province to all Kalinga. This power hungry guy destroyed this NATO making us vulnerable to Islamic Invasions as the vanquished never forgave Ashoka for what he did.
there was never a nato in india
though i agree ashoka committed huge no. of killings
b/w Ashok and Islam the gap is close to 1000 years!!! So your theory is wrong.
That said I agree, Ashoka was still a monster!
@@WhistleMaster What happened over a 1000 year span at that time could happen in 50 years in today's tech world. So, what I want to understand is: Was there an Indian-NATO at that time to fight against external threats and were there internecine wars that weakened us making us more susceptible to invasions. Any History expert may know but I'm common man and I don't know. Some say that Ashoka destroyed the Indian-NATO through fratricidal conduct instead of Ashwamedha Yaga
#AskAbhijit Sir can you share details about kalpa vigraha idol which is said to date about 26,450 BC (before Mahabharata)
It was fake news.
#AskAbhijit Sir do you think Buddha was an Avatar of Lord Vishnu.
you have make an Own Wikipedia page so people can read reality . because whenever we search On Google Aryan .we feel ashamed that what they tell about our ancestors
please sir made an Your true Aryan Origin Wikipedia page so people could know reality
Ashoka wasn’t a great king .
Mauryan empire decline started in his term because of his socialistic policies
He was already a Buddhist few years to the war.
He was a glorified tyrant and a foolish king who did not believe in realism. Fragmented Political Landscape Of India was the result of his one decision that made the country enslaved. If he had not adopted Pacifism and continued his expansionism, India would be unified like Persia and China. No Muslim/British Rule and Exploitation.
Actually I like videos and work of Abhijit sir but I don't know why he is so against of Buddhism

#AskAbhijit sir, acc to AIMIM up chief hindus are insects and bragged about having ruled them.
Is this the way we gona bring unity in country🤣
People say buddhism is the part of hindu dharma... Its not true... Can you explain from where and how did word "hindu" originated from? Let me explain... In the days of ancient parsian empire farasi was the language spoken at persia ( currently iran) farasi language doesn't have letter "sa" in its alphabet so when ever they pronounce the word that have letter "sa" in it , it would naturally become "ha" instead... Sindu is the river that start from kailash mansarowar and flow through current days pakisthan... So when ever farasi speaking people pronounce word "sindu" it would naturally become "hindu" and that is how the word "sindu" became "hindu"... That is how the word "hindu" originated... Now how did the word hindu became religion? Is there any logic to say that hindu is religion? No its not the religion and so called high class people (brahmins mostly) lied and gave misconception that hindu is the religion... For their own benefit and to opress other people... And this thing have became so much of big problem even in the mordern days that people even kill others in the name of fake religion called hindu... But buddhism is buddhism ... It have nothing to do with the word hindu... Hindu is not a religion .... Its now so mixed up and tangled that people don't even realize what the truth is and even people don't want to hear or accept the truth... Because many don't even know how the word hindu originated from... Stop spreading bullshit and do some logical research... Else situation will get worse and worse which is not good for south asia...
he means santan, or the indian/bharatiya dharma
ANSWER MY ONE QUESTION WHAT RELIGION DID BUDDHA FOLLOW???
ALSO SANATANA DHARMA IS ORIGINAL NAME OF HINDUISM. AND U SAY SANATANA DHARMA IS RELIGION OF HIGHER CASTE LOL THERE WAS NO CASTE SYSTEM IN ANCIENT INDIA. MEGASTHENES A GREEK AMBASSADOR TO MAURYAN EMPIRE WROTE THAT THERE WAS NO SLAVERY OR CASTE BASED OPPRESSION IN INDIA.MOST CHINESE TRAVELLERS WROTE SAME. THE WORD CASTE ITSELF COMES FROM PORTUGUESE WORD CASTA. TELL ME IF THERE WAS CASTE SYSTEM THEN WHY ACHARAYA CHANAKYA A BRAHMIN TRAINED A LOWER CASTE BOY NAMED CHANDRAGUPTA MAURYA AND MADE HIM EMPEROR OF INDIA??? THE PERSON WHO WROTE RAMAYANA BELONGS TO LOWER CASTE. SO PLZ STOP THIS NONSENSE. BUDDHISM IS NOT SEPERATE FROM HINDUISM. BUDDHA NEVER REJECTED SANATANA DHARMA NOR VEDAS. MANY BUDDHIST MANTRAS START WITH OM AND OM IS HINDU SYMBOL. MOST BUDDHIST DO YOGA AND YOGA WAS FOUNDED BY HINDUS OR BRAHMINS 5000 YRS AGO WHEN BUDDHISM DIDNT EXIST.
@@TheBhartiyaWing hahaha... There was no oppression in india ... But there is now... And who are responsible for such non sense and hypocritical acts? And which buddha you are talking about? Shakyamuni buddha? He is latest buddha of all ... There are many buddha born in many different places of bharat baras and nepal .. latest was shakyamuni buddha... "Buddhi" means brain and one who uses his buddhi in very unusual or extraordinarily than normal people is given the title of "buddha" and many follow the path of the buddha and worshipped as god as well... In reality he is just a normal human being that romed around earth ... There is no concept of god or such thing in buddhism ... Buddhism simply means using your "buddhi".. all those you mentioned was discovered using "buddhi" by humans .. not by gods... Those who discover very unsusal things that benefits human and society just like buddha did is given the title of buddha in real they are humans... And there are many buddhas.. that is what buddhism means.. its not religion its the path to follow if someone chooses to...
@@TheBhartiyaWing and can you define what does the word "dharma" means?
Why r u so against budhism?
he is not against it he is just correcting us how historians have seperated hinduism from budhism
He's correcting biased History which is ment to isolate Hinduism.
@@RationalismIsFuture but buddhism also has caste system.
@@RationalismIsFuture Ppl are attracted to buddhism because it was saved from islamic invaders,it declined in its own homeland and vedic religion re established,buddhism had left india before the invasion of islamic invaders so it was safe but in last 100 years its existence is completely eradicated from central asia and west india(pak and afg).
WTF man,if any hindu says Buddha was an avatar of lord vishnu u guys say that we are stealing their history and heritage if we don't say it's hurting?Don't forget it was buddhism that's oppressed Hindus in srilanka
