Thank you for watching!
Please share the video and spread the message. 🙏
Sir it was 'nagasena' who debated with menandar and wrote a book named " Milinda-panha".....thank you sir for your informative short videos...It's very interesting and helpful ...
Then who was अश्वघोष then.
Nagasena nhi naagsena
is nagasena and nagarjuna same person??
@@GB_track aswaghosh was from kushana era, he played important role in 4th Buddhist council.
@@daminybhattacharyya4542 Nagasena was Dhammarakkita's disciple and was from 2nd century BC. Whereas Nagarjuna was a buddhist scholar from Amaravati, now Andhra Pradesh who later became Bodhisattva after propounding Mulamadhyamakarika in 2nd century AD. Both are of different eras but are considered to be equal to Og buddha.
Extremely underrated time period of Indian History
Literally
Nonnos, poet of the 5th c. A.D. from Panopolis, wrote "Dionysian", an epic of 21,280 verses that describes all the achievements of Dionysus starting from his ancestors, Cadmus 'grandfather and Semelis' mother, his birth in Thebes until his apotheosis and his ascent to Olympus. "Dionysiaka" is the largest poem inherited from Greek antiquity and is divided into 48 books, as large as the Iliad and the Odyssey. Their central part (books 13-40) is about the campaign of the god in India.
You should write a book with these questions and their breif answers and explanations. It would be a great source of information that kids can read as small stories...... I would definitely buy something like this if you ever come out with it...
Does the word "der" from Greek names of Alexander and Menander gets assimilated in the Indian names mostly in the Punjab regions such as Indra becomes Inder, Dharmendra becomes Dharmender, Tejander, Ravinder, Pushpender, etc etc...?
If you go to HIMACHAL PRADESH mountains near Himalayas than you will fing many Punjabi speaking sadhus
the greek word is -dros (Alexandros, Menandros etc)
The word -dros become -> -der in english (but is the same)
Can you please make a video on ancient india's contribution to space , science and technology and the rishis contributions
5:06 u r right my grandmother was from Afganistan Punjab region(now days Pakistan) the Greek geans can be seen in our family like my grandmother,my cousin,my Father have blue green eyes , brown hair,fair skin.

Just wanted to highlight that there is very valid doubt that it may be Chandra Gupta, not Chandra Gupta Maurya.
Chandra gupta was of the gupta dynasty and chandra gupta maurya was of the maurya dynasty. Gupta dynasty started much later after the decline of maurya dynasty after 400 years or 500 years later
@@arindambose9863 arey bhai what you are saying is what we all read in our history book.
Problem with it is that it comes from Biblical time frame, not some solid logic.
Story starts with William Jones, who was looking for Sandrokottos of Indika of Megasthenes, in Indian Puranik texts.
There were two Chandragupta in it, which sounds similar to Sandrokottos, as you mentioned.
If he would select the Gupta king, then the whole Purana timeline would predated Biblical age of earth (William Jones mentions it).
Thus Chandragupta Maurya was selected, to keep it all post Biblical.
Problem with this are many:
- It is Sandrokottos, and not Sandrokottos Morious or something
- Chanakya/Vishnugupta has no memory of Alexander or Yavana/Greek, even though he was prolific writer and lived well before and beyond Chandragupta Maurya.
- In Indica, son of Sandrokottos is Amitrochates. Whereas son of Chandragupta Maurya is Bindusar. Son of Chandra Gupta on other hand is Samudra Gupta, which is vocally close to Amitrochates. The imaginary Amitraghāta is created to fit the theory.
- There are kings and kingdoms that Alexander encountered, all are close to Gupta dynasty, not Maurya dynasty.
There is whole thesis on it, I read long ago. Need to dig.
@@SantoshGairola can you explain why did the greek distorted Indian and Indians distorted great names this much? I know due to linguistic differences distortion may happen but these are just too much.
@@abcdidgh879 I have no clue about it.
@@abcdidgh879 I only know from the greek side ( actually macedonian=) that the people were in general quite xenophobic especially concerning language - so it would have been natural to not even try to pronounce a name according to its nativity. especially considering that those names were mostly written down way after the fact and of course for a greek speaking audience.
Milindpanha...... Dialogue bw Menander and monk Nagsena
Is oldest temple excavated in gobekli tepe, Turkey a hindu temple.
It was not a hindu temple it was a greek temple .
Big fan sir 💛🙌🙏
Thank You Abhijit for creating such short videos. These are very interesting and fascinating. I bow down to your knowledge 🙏🙂
Punjabies are decendent of God of skanda ( god of war and destruction) .
That's why they were subject of every army from 4000 year old Persian to 300 year old British they dominant in every army.
They are Indians and they should join India and serve in Indian Army.
We Indian of MP want akhand bharat .
Punjab will be part of India.
Brother Punjabis can't be descendants of Skanda may be South Indians are and Punjabi Kshatriya are descendants of Lord Ram etc.
We were taught about Kushans and Indo Greeks in the schools but hardly 1-2 lsns
Because in schools you do not need to read this in detail.
Simple logic
i studied in DAV we had full topic about kushans but no topic at all about indo greeks
thank you for your time sir. also are there any sources on king porus his life his career ect
Sir can you explain about the other general of the Alexander who divided the empire , like Ptolemy of Egypt and how Greek intermix with the local culture of the region ?
That's prolly a reason Hrithik Roshan is called a "Greek God"
#askAbhijit
Sir can you tell us about Kalinga Empire means how powerful empire is, culture etc. Thank you
Love your channel ❤ sir
I heard about milinda in RSTv show where kaniska talk about him.
also look for Yoga Posture statues from Ierapetra Crete Greece dated much older than 5000BC , and the connections of Minoans from Crete Greece to India , also compare Minoan pottery to Indus valley pottery etc.
Ancient Indian history really fascinates me, it is such a shame that our history had been given to communist vultures to vandalise. We need to rewrite it in an indic way with scientific and facts based approach rather than having a sick obsession with the cult cabal of Turk invaders of mediaeval times.
Sir you also recommend a book on every topic you talj
I think it was nagasena or called nagarjuna who recorded that debate in a book in prakrit maybe called milindapanho.
Milinda went into pataliputr but failed to capture pushyamitr sunga & thus , retracted back to mathura bcoz karvela was looking to attack pataliputr as well....
Btw was sunga an anti- buddha ???
If you were being bold you could say that the Indo/Greeks were full Indian. During the battle of the 10 kings, Indians migrated OUT of India throughout the west and settled. So essentially the Greeks were Indians who returned back to the motherland
Menander attacked india during the period which was repelled by pushyamitra shunga who defeated Indo greeks several times
2:36 first came Greco-Bactrian kingdom , they had to pushed south and eastward after the partian empire starting expand their and took control over Persia , after the lost of bacteria region ,indo Greek kingdom established around modern they afganistan region
What about saka/Scythian & kushanas????
Was Sindbad a gujarati?
Sindapur is the name referred to goa in olden times
I'm Indian with roots from Gujarat. I did familytree ancestry DNA test and got 10% European of which 5% is Greece, 2% Scandinavia and 3% East Slavic.
10 percent European😲
How to get family anscestry dna test done ?what is the cost?
#AskAbhijit Sir can you tell about Kamboj people and their ancestory
Seleucus I Nicator was one of the four general who divide the Alexander empire , and seleucus got the Persian part of the empire their capital was in Mesopotamia Iraq or Syria , it was the biggest one of them and richest one along with Ptolemy of Egypt (one of the general) , Seleucus tried to invade but was pushed back by Chandragupta Maurya , then Chandragupta married daughter of Seleucus 's daughter , this empire also followed the previous persian style of rule , region were ruled was satrap ( semi independent ruler who can make their own rule in their province, until they paid tribute to the emperor ) , Diodotus I was the satrap of bacteria region , later king of bacteria , making him the first king of Greco-Bactrian
I came across kalayavan who was from greek and got killed by krishna.. And this said to be even mentioned in greek... Can you shower spme i insight on this?
Nāgasena
Please sir from witch country came Roma gupsy all hawe they called us thanks
They're from Northwest India, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat etc.
Wasn't Seleucus given the conquered western Indian part by alexander before he started his journey back home??
he only gave his daughter , nothing else

You are 100% right! the Greeks whom ruled parts of India loved it and became Indians, Scythians were used to fluidity, and Kushans were familiar to the 100 schools of ancient China. True Philosophy was part of their culture, where as to the anglo colonists 2000 years later it was the musing of an annoying wise man to be kicked down. India and every other great nation is so poweful over so many centuries because the are not insecure.
@abhijitchawda who were the scythians?
Please tell on Kalanos
Should now say, Jo Haaraa Vohi Sikandar
Source ?
Who ruled the region after the last Indo-Greek king? When did 'Indian' kings take back the throne?
#Askabhijit Sir can you please tell me about how to become a theoretical physicist I mean what to choose after 12th science and what to choose in subjects in 11th
We are believed to b descendants of Alexander the great..our caste nagar is believed to b formed in 405 . Its also mentioned in Google .

If Buddhism is an another type of Hinduism then how it came to be a separate religion?
It is only history books make it seperate religion and present day politics after Dr Ambedkar became Buddhist
I am Gorkha and in Nepal you dont find and difference between Hindu and Buddhist Gorkha ,
It is only the way of worship is different ,
Which is also in different in different Sampradaya in Hinduism ,
Shiva worship is different from Shakti and both of them are different form Vishnu worship
Tantriks have different form of worship ,
There are 100s of different sects which have different style of worship that does note make them different religion alltogather
Search for the basic roots of Hinduism and Buddhism , you will find amazing facts
The most important thing is Buddhists and Hindus exsist peacefully , they dont force their faith.
Majority of Hindus respect Buddha and know Buddham saharanam gachami.
that statement was just plain wrong. Hinduism is an Astik Indian philosophy while Buddhism is a nastik one. Astik means one who accepts the Vedas. So unless Abhijit thinks one can be a hindu while not believing in the authority of the Vedas he is just lying. There are 6 branched of hindu philosophy that accepts vedas: Sankhya, Navya,, Yoga, Mimhansa, Viveshika, and Vedanta. There are considered hindu traditions. Other Indian thoughts that don't accept the vedas are buddhism, Jainism, ajvika, and charvakya etc.
Buddhism is Indian. Buddhism is not Hinduism.
@@theaveragegamer1719 Buddhist and Brahmins living peacefully in ancient times lol. Ever heard of adi Shankaracharya's massacre of buddhists?
@@harishrathee5863 Any solid evidence ?
Bollywood needs to do a movie on this!! Like a Sanjay leela bansali movie
I think they made with Hellena Maurya, not sure
Alexander the Late
It's wrong history we have to re write it correctly
Were scythians half Indians?
No they were rigvedic Kshatriya people who got defeated in Dasrajan war(war of 10 kings) and were pushed to the far north and north western region of Older Bharatvarsh. And later they came back.
@@shrishmishra5066 The modern chronology doesn't acknowledge this fact. We do not have tangible evidence to back up this claim, if have, our intellectuals will never present
@@MrSoothsayer it's really sad

what religion do the kurds follow.who is their god?
!!!
Sir, Why is Pushyamitra Shunga considered a barbaric and cruel murderer of buddhist monks and people who patronized buddhism?
Cause he killed those Buddhists and destroyed there shrines who were helping yavanas(Greeks) in there teritorial expansion so to expand this new panth(budhism),
@@ramanpalyal I believe he was not anti buddhist .... It's just that buddhist scholars never thought of him as value addition to buddhism....btw buddhist considered mihirakul and another guy as anti buddhist .....

Are they still there

Nonsense ideas, and hilarious documentation, and fantasy ideas.
During buddhas time there was no Islam. To counter Islamists we need Gita. Buddhism won't work.
It always make me laugh when intentionally he says in a middle of a talk that bhudism is a branch of Hinduism ( Brahmanism ) when bhudhism word pops up. He and many others arrogance has blinded them.
Same, I also had a period of laughter when he said milander was well versed in vedas? And he didn't even remember the name of nagasen, it shows his hypocrisy and this weird type of propoganda in favour towards f Brahmanism.
BCE is an erroneous and made up way of detailing the year.
Hindus? Vedas? 😂😂
Buddhism is not at all the part of Hinduism.Please correct your self.
