Jai Hind ❤
Very well presented and spoken with patience with no interruptions to the guest's explanation. What i liked about the conversation sir is you have also placed the questions against as well this didnt feel like an interview or podcast but a genuine conversation where you sir also asked questions passionately. I used to watch you Vishal Sir host the Sunday cartoon when i was little. The guest Mr. Abhijit Chavda Sir is always a pleasure to hear to however i would kindly request you to look into color contrast of video and the audio issue. 🙏 would love to hear many guests with talks about our Proud Bharatiya Heritage Culture and Hindu Ancestors
@@actorvishalmalhotra 😲🙏 Woah, I am grateful for your response Sir. Looking forward to more informative videos from your channel. Subscriber +1 🙏😇Jai Bholenath
Bro you should have started doing talks like these in Covid times.. it would have become instant success on youtube. Anyways.. Today is the best day to start, always.
Hi Vishal, No offense but your sitting posture (leg) on start gives a non welcoming vibe at start. Having said that no issues about the content though . Its always please to listen to Chavda sir.
vishal is better hosting Disney hour... podcast is not his cup of tea... He tries to mimic Ranveer Alahbadia but cannot bring Ranveer's honesty and making interviewee the most important thing that exists .
Vishal bhai, let the man complete. The discussion went on so many tangents, that tangents that you drew and you did not finish any topic to its completion. It frustrated me, Abhijit is trying to gather his thoughts and make a cohesive complete statement but before he finishes, you took the discussion to another topic. What's the use if you just discuss surface level stuff on every topic.

Out of all the interviews Abhijit Chavda has done.. this has to be the most boring one.. frustratingly boring!! Vishal, you are an amazing actor.. stick to arts & interview people from that field you’ll gain lots of subcsribers & money that way.
@@tryit2136 like there are no indo european and dravidian languages, that sanskrit is the oldest language, india is the oldest civilisation, r1a is indigenous, indo european languages (sometimes he agrees they exist, sometimes he doesnt) come from india, and many such absurd fanciful tripe that can be easily debunked by a simple google search.
@@kanhaibhatt913 He talks about the oldest civilization in terms of continuity. Regarding Indo European , it ultimately comes down to the Steppe *hypothesis* He simply emphasizes the irony of how the West claims the Aryan invasion, then the Aryan migration then potential continuity would be the Aryan picnic theory. google search cant give u correct answers if u dont know what ur looking for cuz there will already be baked data with falsey.
@@tryit2136 he doesnt. He claims india is the oldest civilisation ever. except that I dont rely on google searches for the data, but the source. I read papers and they are clear about this that majority of r1a in india is downstream of r1a-z93 which is found first in the fatyanovo culture in russia, and that no paper has yet proved basal lineages of r1a exist anywhere in india.
@@tryit2136 he has no idea what autosomal ancestry is, he harps on and on about haplogroups, brings up ridiculous points like haplogroup F being indian, haplo R being indian, haplo R1a being indian, as if it means anything in the indo european question, deflects when asked about the lack of indian autosomal ancestry or ydna in europe, and even blocked me on twitter for calling out his lies. The west has progressed because it values facts, and is very much honest about how the indo europeans INVADED Europe. Invasions have happened everywhere and so have migrations. If you want to be politically correct then call it a migration. They changed it after material evidence came up short, just as they changed it for Europe.
I am giving you a content on what actually happened with India in the medieval era from the times of battles between Indians Vs Arabs till the time of British. . NOTE - Original or ancient name of India is Bhaarat.. When I say Bhaarat or India in terms of ancient or medieval times, it refers to an area right from Kabul-Kandahar in the northwest to Balochistan in the west to Tamil Nadu & Kerela in the south to Bangladesh & Assam state of India in the east and to Himalayas & Jammu Kashmir in the north. This is the actual area of Bhaarat or undivided India. People of this area have same civilisation, culture and race and ethnicity. Let me tell you in short and summarised way (in below comments rest will include) : PART 1 - Prologue PART 2 - Arabs Vs Indians and Indian victories over Arabs PART 3 - Why Indians failed to counter the Turks PART 4 - Ray of hope called Chatrapati Shivaji and rise of The Maratha Empire PART 5 - Decline of Maratha Empire infront of British PART 6 - Period 1818-1857 & 1857 war against british PART 7 - British rule between 1857 -1947 PART 8 - India after 1947 PART 9 - Epilogue PART 10 - Some books recommendations to read (in below reply comments, rest will include and cannot include everything bcos it is more of a short summary of different phases of India during medieval era)
PART 1 - Prologue *Ancient name of collections of Indian traditions/cultures/belief systems is called - Sanatana Dharma. 1. Turkic are those who came from & belong to people of modern day Kyrgyztan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, & Tajikistan.And they invaded Anatolia and renamed it as Turkey. Otherwise Anatolia was originally and actually the part of Greece. This is the reason why many people of modern day Turkey looks like European and not like Uzbekis, Tajiks or Turkmenistanis , better to say Turks. The actual name of modern day turkey is Anatolia. It was a part of Undivided Greece. The turks are actually people of Central Asia that is modern day Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikisatan, Kyrgyztan. kazakhstan. At that time, Byzantine Empire was the ruling dynasty of Undivided Greece. The Ottoman Empire was founded by Osman I and he comes from a tribe called - Oghuz Tribe which is actually a tribe of turkmenistan (a Turk tribe). Ottoman Turks belonged to the Kayı Oghuz Turkic clan, who fled their native homeland in Central Asia, during the early 13th century, due to the Mongol invasions. The clan settled in Anatolia and later on as the Byzantine Empire got weaken, these turkic tribes defeated Byzantine and islamised their people and enslaved the people of modern day turkey and established Ottoman Empire. This is the reason why people of modern day Turkey looks like Greeks and not like Uzbekis, Tajiks or Turkmenistanis , better to say Turks. By the way this Oghuz Tribe also enslaved the arabs too and ruled over the arabs and forcefully took the title of caliphate from arabs. The Ottoman tyranny against the Arabs was an extended reality. Let me tell you few incidents among many. At Hama, in the Levant, Ottoman Empire sent a campaign in 1685 to discipline Arabs and punish them because they ejected the Ottoman governor due to his increasing prejudice. In 1698, a campaign was sent to burn the Lebanese town of Ghazir and, a year later, the Ottoman governor of Damascus sent an army to Nablus to kill its people and capture 700 women. This injustice and tyranny forced the poor Arabs of the Levant to emigrate. Another example of the brutality of the Ottoman governors was the impalement of men and the putting of women into sacks with some lime and dumping them in rivers. Moreover, they used to burn villages. It is noteworthy that the horrific methods of torture, such as impalement, were not known to the Arabs before the arrival of the Ottomans. The person who impaled and killed the Arab slowly was rewarded. Also, they used to enjoy mutilating the dead bodies of the Arabs and cutting off parts of their bodies, especially the ears, and the leaders boasted of collecting the largest numbers of them. They also fought the Arabic language with a policy of Turkification, through publications and jobs, imposing the Turkish language on all government transactions. People dont realise that Ottoman Empire is actually an invading empire on Modern Day Turkey(Anatolia). It is just that people of Turkey converted to islam, so they claim Ottoman Empire as their own but technically it is a turkic dynasty of central asia. It is like if the Indians adopted Protestant Christianity then they claim British Rule as their own, which is obviously nonsense. By the way, the Indian troops under the command of Dalpat Singh Shekhawat fought and defeated the Ottoman Empire in Battle of Haifa (1918) and after this battle onwards the downfall of Ottoman Empire started. This defeat sealed the fate of the Ottoman Empire and led to its demise. 2. When I say Hindus it comprises modern day Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhist and Jains. They all belong to one Dharmic Traditions. British made division in order to divide the Dharmic society & later on further divided Hindus into castes. They made division and classification among hindus bcos they were constantly facing the revolts from hindus even after 1857, and it was getting difficult to control India & they thought if this continues then they might lose the control over India. So in order to keep the hindus in check, they made those division and classification. I would suggest you to check out Puneet Sahani's talks on TH-cam.He has exposed these things with facts, esp regarding how sikhs were separated from Sanatan Dharm (Hinduism) by the british. And by the way, caste is actually derived from Portuguese word 'Casta' . So it is actually a European concept not even an Indian concept & in order to break our spirit & make us feel inferior & embarrased of ourselves with loser mindset, they distorted & manipulated our history. And all these things are documented in 1871 British India Census Documents, Mcaulay writings, etc. Infact during the british era, there were more than 500 princely states, among them over 400 princely states belong to Shudra (SC caste or so called low caste) Kings. I suggest u to watch a documentary of Channel - Prachyam , video titled - Sahebs Who Never Left (Documentary) . 3. Regarding Indian History,which unfortunately we r not taught correctly bcos of distortion by British which was designed in such a way that to make us feel inferior. As George Orwell said - “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own history'. There is a proverb that says, “Until the lion tells the story, the hunter will always be the hero.” No wonder instead of reading History of Indians, We read history of outsiders. And till now we read history which was designed by british. And it is a big shame for all of us. Like for eg - one fact that over 1380 years have been deleted from the Indian history in order to adjust it into biblical timeline which is limited in nature i.e 2000-4000 years. Prof Vedveer Arya has written books on this & has given challenge to western historians on this.Vedveer Arya has given his talks on TH-cam. OR Aryan Invasion Theory, which was designed to create animosity between North India Vs South India. Infact it has been proven wrong by many people. And this theory now has been debunked many people now. So, there are plenty of things like this. PART 2 - Arabs Vs Indians
PART 2 - Arabs Vs Indians and Indian victories over Arabs When Arabs were at their peak and till that time whole Persia Iraq,Syria ,Egypt have fallen in front of Arab Caliphate and expanding their faith , they were defeated by the Indians.. Abu Bakr was made caliph after Muhmmad died. 634: Two years later, Umar I became caliph after Abu Bakr's death. Umar I reigned till 644. 636/637: During Umar I's reign, the first ever battle between Arabs Vs Indians took place, It was a naval battle b/w Indians Vs Arabs and the arabs were defeated by Chalukya Pulakeshin II. The Indians under the command of Pulakeshin 2 thrashed the Arab army which was under the Caliph Umar. The attack was repelled with Indians victory over Arabs. 637-643: Another attack on Bharuch was made by Arabs on al-Hakam's orders. Bharuch was then ruled by probably Dadda 2 Gurjara( Lāṭa)/Vijayarāja Chalukya, depending on exact year of attack. This attack was also a Gurjara/Chalukya victory for Indians. 643 : al-Hakam ordered invasion of Sindh,Chachnama declares it Indians victory. Sindh was then ruled by Chach of Alor (Aror). Arabs didn't gain anything by this naval attack on the port of Debal (Karachi), the Indians won. The news of Arab defeat in Sindh was a serious anomaly for the Caliph's ears, which were habituated to hearing of victories in whichever direction the Arab armies went. Such was the demoralisation, that even the next Caliph Uthman, didn't dare attack India till his death. 663: In the reign of Caliph Ali, al-Harith raided the area of Kikanan (Kalat-Sibi area in Pakistan).The Arab commander was killed & Arabs were repelled. During ~660-680, 6+ Arab attacks took place on Kikanan. But, the Indians resisted and Arabs didn't gain any territory despite frequent attacks. Thereafter till 705 CE, the Caliphate experienced multiple civil wars. Kabul & Zabul Indian rulers defeated Arabs twice during this period. 708-711 CE : In the reign of Caliph al-Walid I, al-Hajjaj (Governor of Iraq) sent two Arab armies to attack Raja Dahir of Sindh. Raja Dahir first defeated the Arabs near Debal & killed Ubaidullah.Al-Hajjaj sent another commander, Budail, from from Oman to attack Sindh.Budail fought with Jaisimha, Dahir's son & was killed by Jaisimha. Arabs were again defeated at the frontiers of India & many are not aware before Raja Dahir got defeated , Raja Dahir actually defeated arabs 4 times consecutively, and before 712 AD there were many battle between many battle between Arabs Vs Indians & those wars were won by Indians. The battle Arab won was of Mohammad Bin Qasim victory in Sindh in 712 AD bcos Raja Dahir of Sindh have given refuge to some Arabs & they betrayed him. But later on when the news reached to the ears of Bappa Rawal & he not only thrashed Arabs from Sindh but also thrashed & chased the Arabs upto Persia & made check posts all the way from Persia to India. Probably this is the reason why Iranian r not fully Arabised & they still celebrate Pre Islamic festivals like Nauroz etc. Later on Arabs were defeated by Indians under The Great Indian Emperor Samrat Lalitaditya Muktapida, whose dominance extended right from Bay of Bengal to Caspian Sea. The defeat of Arabs by The Great Lalitaditya was very humiliating for Arabs. After defeating Arabs, Lalitaditya ordered left over Arab soldiers to shave off half their heads as a symbol of their submission to Lalitaditya. For more info about Lalitaditya, you must read a medieval era text called - Rajatarangini by the author Kalhana. Then Arabs were again thrashed by Indians under Mihir Bhoj & Rawal Khuman 2. How Arabs Described Mihir Bhoj - Arab chronicle of Suleiman states that - Mihir Bhoj king of Jurz. Among the princes of India,there is no greater foe of there is no greater foe of Muhammadan faith than he. And Rawal Khuman II fought the arabs and defeated the Abbasid Caliph army led by Al-Ma’mun . It was kind of a final encounter between Arabs Vs Indians. Khuman II fought the arabs & defeated Abbasid Caliph army led by Al-Ma’mun. It was kind of a final encounter between Arabs Vs Indians. Rawal Khuman II defeats arabs & captures their general Mahmud. Khuman’s victory over Mahmud was conclusive & since it was the army of the Caliphate ,it completely demoralised the Arabs. Mahmud was held captive by Khuman.He was let go after extracting heavy penalties from Arabs. So Indians didn't face any problem while dealing with Arabs. The problem Indians faced was actually against Turkic people & Turkic are people belonging to central Asia that is modern day Kyrgyztan ,Uzbekistan, Tajikistan & Turkmenistan. The mughals actually came from Uzbekistan. So they were all Uzbekis. *NOTE -Turks are those who belong to people of modern day Kyrgyztan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, & Tajikistan.And they invaded Anatolia and renamed it as Turkey. Otherwise Anatolia was originally and actually the part of Greece. This is the reason why people of modern day Turkey looks like European and not like Uzbekis,Tajiks or Turkmenistanis better to say Turks. So against the Arabs , Indians did not face problems but it was actually against the Turks, we faced problems that too bcos of our own foolishness. PART 3 - Why Indians failed to counter the Turks
PART 3 - Why Indians failed to counter the Turks *NOTE -Turks are those who belong to people of modern day Kyrgyztan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, & Tajikistan.And they invaded Anatolia and renamed it as Turkey. Otherwise Anatolia was originally and actually the part of Greece. This is the reason why people of modern day Turkey looks like European and not like Uzbekis,Tajiks or Turkmenistanis better to say Turks. *By the way, all these Ghori were Tajiks (Turks), Gznavi, Khilji , Tughlaq etc were all belonged to Khallaj Tribe which is actually a Turk Tribe. They islamised the whole Afghanistan after the fall of last Hindu Dynasty of Kabul - The Hindu Shahi Dynasty. The first serious Turk settlement happened in 1206 with start of Slave Dynasty in Delhi. And all other later dynasties after them were called Delhi Sultanates. And their actual rule was just limited to Delhi and nearby areas and later on they were overtaken by Mughals who came from Uzbekistan. And mughals were Turks too. First SERIOUS Turk attack happen in 1025 & King Suheldev defeat these Turk led by Salar Maqsud in 1025. But later on why we failed to counter them in later years esp from 1200s onwards.Bcos of following reason a) Over dependence on Horses - 50% (b) Not understanding the islamic ideology - 30% -> A common reason for others too (c) Not being united - 10% (d) Miscellaneous Reasons - 10% 1. Bcos our Kings were over confident & not united. 2. This is the most important reason which comprises of 50% reason as i mentioned. It all started with mistakes by Hindu Shahi Dynasty of Afghanistan when they lose their grip over Central Asia particularly over Southern part of Central Asia & they didn't bother to establish their influence over their again.And why Central Asia was so important bcos all the Indian Kings used to get their majority horses from there. As Central Asian Horses were considered the best. In mediaeval time horses were the engine of any army.And unfortunately the Indian Kings from 500 A.D. onwards have started shifting their military tactics slowly, from being Infantry to cavalry that is horse based.And with each new century years passed,this dependency process speeds up. Its not that horses are not there in India. There are Indian breed horses. But Central Asian Horses were far more superior as compare to Indian horses. So Indian Kings used to have horses even the Indian breed horses,but they never depended on them on the primary level when it comes to military. Horses were always seen as an additional strength for the military. And infantry was the strength of Indian Kings from the Ancient Vedic times ,this is the reason why infantry marital art was developed in India. The natural military strength of the Indians was always - Infantry, Elephants & Naval Power. Even though there are several reason why they did that by shifting military tactic from infantry to cavalry. Though there are no specific reasons why they did that by shifting military tactic from infantry to cavalry as lot of information have been lost bcos of burning of so many books, libraries, universities and schools by the invaders. This happened bcos when Indian Emperor Skandgupta defeated Huns* & we Indians have established our supremacy over Eastern Hun Empire,esp Central Asian Region.And from their onwards Indians started shifting their military tactic from infantry to cavalry. It's not that people didn't caution them not to have over dependence on Horses & infact also stick to your natural strength that is infantry.And one can use cavalry as additional military method but dont let go off your natural strength that is infantry. But no one really bothered. And once the grip was lose over Central Asia. It created problem. And there was sudden collapse in the military structure & everything fall like a pack of cards. And the dynasties which didn't shifted their 100% strength to Cavalry & stick to their natural strength,those dynasties survived & defeated these invaders like Vijayanagar Dynasty, Gajapati dynasty, Ahom dynasty etc. Infact Ahom Dynasty of North East India defeated mughals more than 17 times. Both Vijayanagar & Gajapati Dynasty were got destroyed bcos of some other reason which I will explain later. *Huns = Huns were considered a dangerous force in the world at one point of time. The Huns were nomadic warriors who terrorized much of Europe and the Roman Empire in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. The terror which the Huns caused over the Europe and the Roman Empire is something un-imaginable. Its was the Huns, who were responsible for the annihilation of Roman Empire. And with invasion of their Capital Rome in 452 AD, the Roman Empire was wiped out. But the force, which used to terrorize whole europe was defeated by Indian Emperor Skandgupta. The Hunas, under the leadership of Toramana, suffered a crushing defeat by the Indian Emperor Skandagupta in 458 AD 3. They all failed to understand religious ideology of invaders.Bcos even after loosing grip over Central Asia. Indians still won many battles like - Taimur Lang was defeated by Jograj Singh Gurjar in 1398. And the defeat was so devastating for Taimur that he literally fled India OR Ruler of Gajapati Empire (Eastern Ganga Dynasty) defeated these invaders in 1248 & many more etc. So Indians still won many battles but they were so naive that they didn't understand that enemies they are facing. They all failed to understand the religious ideology of invaders. Bcos even after loosing grip over Central Asia. The Kings still won many battles but they were so naive that they didn't understand that enemies they are facing are not your typical enemies. They are all driven by ideology of Islamic Zealotry
4. Over Confidence, being naive & foolishness. Even though there are so many examples but I will give you few examples among many examples : Queen Naiki Devi defeated Ghori in 1178 but instead of chopping his head she let him go free OR Another eg : After defeating & capturing Mohmad Ghori in 1191, Prithviraj Chauhan releases Mohammad Ghori in 1191. And this proved to be a heavy mistake for Prithviraj Chauhan OR King Vidyadhara Chandela defeated Mahmud Ghazni but let him go free but due to code of honour King Vidyadhara let the retreating invader Gazni go OR Alaudin Khalji was defeated in battle in 1488 by Badal-Gora OR another eg - Rana Hammir Singh defeats Muhammad bin Tughluq in 1326 and captured Mohammad bin Tughlaq & jailed him for 6 months and then let him free. Another eg - Rana Sanga defeated invaders like Ibrahim Lodhi, Sultan of Delhi in Battle of Khatoli (1517) and Battle of Dholpur (1518) . And Rana Sanga also defeats & capturs Islamic Sultan Mahmud Khilji II in 1519.Later on he defeats another islamist Sultan Malik Hussain in 1520. Malik Hussain surrender in front of Rana Sanga & he later took all his wealth. Later in the same year, Rana Kumbha defeats the coalition army of two islamic sultanate . And with this Rana Sanga became the supreme power in the Northern India. After Babur (Founder of Mughal Dynasty) capturing Delhi, Babur decided to attack Rana Sanga as soon as possible. In a two months long battle between the Turko Mongol army of Babur & Rana Sanga took place in Bayana (near Agra). The Mughals got defeated & were forced to retreat to Agra. This time Rana Sanga didn’t follow the policy of wiping out the invading enemies as he did against the other islamic Sultans. He was sure that from this defeat Babur will not attack him and this gave Babur enough time to recover & to recover & prepare for the final climax at Khanwa, which was the first and the last defeat of Rana Sanga. The undefeated Rana Sanga had finally made a miscalculated move and this proved to be a heavy mistake on his part. Another eg : Maharana Pratap when he defeated 3rd Mughal King Akbar in Battle of Dewair (1582) ,he had the golden opportunity to grab the Delhi Throne and when everything was going in his favour, he just let that idea go away. Maharana Pratap not understanding that they are not your typical enemies, infact the aim is Jihad & expand their ideology. And there are many examples like this. And there are many examples like these. Not understanding islamic ideology has been a big problem of not just of Indians, but also for other Pre islamic civilisations Stupidity like many of mughal expansion was done by some Indian Kings bcos many Indians kings had ego tussle & internal conflict between them. So it was obvious, outsiders will take advantage of this. Like - it was Raja Man Singh who expanded Mughal Empire by defeating & subduing old kingdoms of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha and also conquered Kabul for 3rd Mughal King Akbar. Infact, in mughal empire, the land right from from Kabul to Bengal was actually conquered by Indian King Raja Man Singh when he allied with 3rd Mughal King Akbar bcos of tussle between Raja Man Singh and Maharana Pratap. There was also a big issue with Indian Kings that once they have given their word to someone, they always maintain that at any cost. And these invaders always took advantage of this. And this has been a big problem of Indian Kings esp from 13th century onwards, when they have given their word to someone they fully respected it & maintained it as it was a matter of pride for them and it was seen as a manly thing, a sign of masculinity. But whenever the enemy got a chance to violate it & defeat the Indian Kings, they always did. 5. Another example : When Humayun (Father of 3rd Mughal King Akbar) was leaving they get refuge in Amarkot in Sindh by King Rana Prasad. He gave refuge to Humayun and his family who were struggling at that time. Not understanding the islamic ideology. Later on these were the same Mughals who butchered the people in order to spread islam. * You gave invaders one chance, they will come and annihiliate you. Like people of Anatolia gave one chance to Turks and Turks captured Anatolia, destroyed them and islamised them completely. The Persians gave arabs a single chance and arabs came and destroyed persia and islamised them completely and arabs gave Ottoman Empire one chance and Ottoman Empire enslaved them.And unfortunately our ancestors gave turkic invaders multiple chances to revive and attack us. So it was bound to happen that sooner or later, one of the turks will finally establish a full fledged empire in India. And finally it happened in the form of mughal empire
6. Indians were fighting among themselves too. Like the downfall of Gajapati Empire was bcos of continous attacks by Vijayanagar Dynasty from the south.Gajapati Empire (Formerly knownn as Eastern Ganga Dynasty). It defeated the invaders multiple times & later on decided to march towards Delhi & finish this mess once & for all. But it got attacks from its southern part from The Vijayanagar Dynasty. This diverted Gajapati Empire's attention & they got busy in fighting the Vijaynagar Dynasty. And this gave Foreign Invading Army of Delhi Sultanate to revive itself and attack when they saw the opportunity. With the decline of Eastern Ganga Dynasty (later on came to be known as Gajapati Empire) , The Vijaynagar Dynasty captured the Southern part of Gajapati Empire (Eastern Ganga Dynasty) 7. Employing these Central Asian people in their Army as commanders and generals. Best eg - Vijayanagar Empire. The capital of Vijayanagar Empire was considered the finest capital in the whole world. And they were very powerful Kingdom. But in Battle of Talikota which was a fight between Vijayanagar Empire Vs Bahamani Sultanate and outsiders like Gilani brothers, who were appointed as commanders of Vijayanagar Army & betrayed King Rama Raya in the name of jihad against kafir & supporting the invader islamic army and boom , the Empire Collapsed. 8. And most shocking the Indians were fighting the Indians. Like during the initial period of Mughal time, the many warriors in army of mughals were actually Indians. And there is a problem with a Polytheists culture like Hinduism , Greeks, Pagan culture etc that they all easily accept the belief system of others bcos in their own Polytheists culture there are many gods and belief system so accepting a new system is not an issue for them. And this is here problem arise with monotheistic religion like Islam and Christianity that says our God is the only true God & your God is fake. And this is here Polytheists failed to understand their ideology. 9. Finally, among all invaders, mughals establish themselves as the supreme power in India. Mughals came from modern day Uzbekistan. Mughals had turkic - Mongolian genes and they came from Central Asian region, specifically from modern day Uzbekistan. From 1526 onwards, Mughal Empire gets founded by Babur when Babur captures Delhi but later on his son Humayun (2nd Mughal King) was forced into exile when he lost battles in 1539 & 1540. He then gets shelter & refuge by Sindh King Rana Prasad. With arrival of Akbar (son of Humayun & 3rd Mughal King) , at that time Vikramaditya Hemu was sitting at Delhi Throne and he controlled an area right from Bengal to Delhi and some areas beyond it. Abul Fazl (court historian of Akbar) noted that prior to battle of panipat,Hemu had fought & won all 22 battle & never lost any battle. Akbar fights Hemu & defeats Hemu in 2nd Battle of Panipat (1556) & finally establish mughals . And with the help of Raja Man Singh of Jaipur, mughal empire established themselves as the strongest empire of North India. It was Raja Man Singh who expanded Mughal Empire from Kabul in the North West to Bengal in the east by defeating & subduing old kingdoms of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha and also conquered Kabul for 3rd Mughal King Akbar. Infact, in mughal empire, the land right from from Kabul to Bengal was actually conquered by Indian King Raja Man Singh when he allied with 3rd Mughal King Akbar as there was ego tussle between Raja Man Singh and Maharana Pratap. And the exact geographical area of Mughal Empire was - Kabul in the North West to Bengal in the east and to Satpura range in the frontiers of deccan that is southern boundaries of state Madhya Pradesh and Norther Bounderies of state Maharashtra. And below mughal empire, there was Ahmednagar Sultanate, Bijapur Sultanate and Golcondas. And below them there was scattered areas which were left, after the fall of Vijayanagar Empire.

Thank you
Hinduism is a civilization of India not just a way of thoughts or life.
vishal is better hosting Disney hour... podcast is not his cup of tea... He tries to mimic Ranveer Alahbadia but cannot bring Ranveer's honesty and making interviewee the most important thing that exists .
Grt
Very different content. Love geo politics
Vishal bhai, let the man complete. The discussion went on so many tangents, that tangents that you drew and you did not finish any topic to its completion.
It frustrated me, Abhijit is trying to gather his thoughts and make a cohesive complete statement but before he finishes, you took the discussion to another topic. What's the use if you just discuss surface level stuff on every topic.
Really,good to see u Vishal on utube.😊😊😊

Out of all the interviews Abhijit Chavda has done.. this has to be the most boring one.. frustratingly boring!! Vishal, you are an amazing actor.. stick to arts & interview people from that field you’ll gain lots of subcsribers & money that way.
Karne se hee unnati hoga. itni jaldi haar maan jaaye? Ye arts se adhik avashyak vishay hai. Dono fields Art aur non-art k logo ko bulana chahiye
Not able to like video.
Mr Chavda lies a lot. I remember buying into his misinformation.
like?
@@tryit2136 like there are no indo european and dravidian languages, that sanskrit is the oldest language, india is the oldest civilisation, r1a is indigenous, indo european languages (sometimes he agrees they exist, sometimes he doesnt) come from india, and many such absurd fanciful tripe that can be easily debunked by a simple google search.
@@kanhaibhatt913 He talks about the oldest civilization in terms of continuity. Regarding Indo European , it ultimately comes down to the Steppe *hypothesis* He simply emphasizes the irony of how the West claims the Aryan invasion, then the Aryan migration then potential continuity would be the Aryan picnic theory.
google search cant give u correct answers if u dont know what ur looking for cuz there will already be baked data with falsey.
@@tryit2136 he doesnt. He claims india is the oldest civilisation ever.
except that I dont rely on google searches for the data, but the source. I read papers and they are clear about this that majority of r1a in india is downstream of r1a-z93 which is found first in the fatyanovo culture in russia, and that no paper has yet proved basal lineages of r1a exist anywhere in india.
@@tryit2136 he has no idea what autosomal ancestry is, he harps on and on about haplogroups, brings up ridiculous points like haplogroup F being indian, haplo R being indian, haplo R1a being indian, as if it means anything in the indo european question, deflects when asked about the lack of indian autosomal ancestry or ydna in europe, and even blocked me on twitter for calling out his lies.
The west has progressed because it values facts, and is very much honest about how the indo europeans INVADED Europe. Invasions have happened everywhere and so have migrations. If you want to be politically correct then call it a migration. They changed it after material evidence came up short, just as they changed it for Europe.
@7:01 - not world War. It was Euro War / White War / Pale War. Unfortunately, the colonies got dragged into it.
Bhai Audio bahut low hai
I am giving you a content on what actually happened with India in the medieval era from the times of battles between Indians Vs Arabs till the time of British. .
NOTE - Original or ancient name of India is Bhaarat.. When I say Bhaarat or India in terms of ancient or medieval times, it refers to an area right from Kabul-Kandahar in the northwest to Balochistan in the west to Tamil Nadu & Kerela in the south to Bangladesh & Assam state of India in the east and to Himalayas & Jammu Kashmir in the north. This is the actual area of Bhaarat or undivided India. People of this area have same civilisation, culture and race and ethnicity.
Let me tell you in short and summarised way (in below comments rest will include) :
PART 1 - Prologue
PART 2 - Arabs Vs Indians and Indian victories over Arabs
PART 3 - Why Indians failed to counter the Turks
PART 4 - Ray of hope called Chatrapati Shivaji and rise of The Maratha Empire
PART 5 - Decline of Maratha Empire infront of British
PART 6 - Period 1818-1857 & 1857 war against british
PART 7 - British rule between 1857 -1947
PART 8 - India after 1947
PART 9 - Epilogue
PART 10 - Some books recommendations to read
(in below reply comments, rest will include and cannot include everything bcos it is more of a short summary of different phases of India during medieval era)
PART 1 - Prologue
*Ancient name of collections of Indian traditions/cultures/belief systems is called - Sanatana Dharma.
1. Turkic are those who came from & belong to people of modern day Kyrgyztan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, & Tajikistan.And they invaded Anatolia and renamed it as Turkey. Otherwise Anatolia was originally and actually the part of Greece. This is the reason why many people of modern day Turkey looks like European and not like Uzbekis, Tajiks or Turkmenistanis , better to say Turks.
The actual name of modern day turkey is Anatolia. It was a part of Undivided Greece. The turks are actually people of Central Asia that is modern day Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikisatan, Kyrgyztan. kazakhstan. At that time, Byzantine Empire was the ruling dynasty of Undivided Greece. The Ottoman Empire was founded by Osman I and he comes from a tribe called - Oghuz Tribe which is actually a tribe of turkmenistan (a Turk tribe). Ottoman Turks belonged to the Kayı Oghuz Turkic clan, who fled their native homeland in Central Asia, during the early 13th century, due to the Mongol invasions. The clan settled in Anatolia and later on as the Byzantine Empire got weaken, these turkic tribes defeated Byzantine and islamised their people and enslaved the people of modern day turkey and established Ottoman Empire. This is the reason why people of modern day Turkey looks like Greeks and not like Uzbekis, Tajiks or Turkmenistanis , better to say Turks. By the way this Oghuz Tribe also enslaved the arabs too and ruled over the arabs and forcefully took the title of caliphate from arabs.
The Ottoman tyranny against the Arabs was an extended reality. Let me tell you few incidents among many. At Hama, in the Levant, Ottoman Empire sent a campaign in 1685 to discipline Arabs and punish them because they ejected the Ottoman governor due to his increasing prejudice. In 1698, a campaign was sent to burn the Lebanese town of Ghazir and, a year later, the Ottoman governor of Damascus sent an army to Nablus to kill its people and capture 700 women. This injustice and tyranny forced the poor Arabs of the Levant to emigrate.
Another example of the brutality of the Ottoman governors was the impalement of men and the putting of women into sacks with some lime and dumping them in rivers. Moreover, they used to burn villages. It is noteworthy that the horrific methods of torture, such as impalement, were not known to the Arabs before the arrival of the Ottomans. The person who impaled and killed the Arab slowly was rewarded. Also, they used to enjoy mutilating the dead bodies of the Arabs and cutting off parts of their bodies, especially the ears, and the leaders boasted of collecting the largest numbers of them.
They also fought the Arabic language with a policy of Turkification, through publications and jobs, imposing the Turkish language on all government transactions.
People dont realise that Ottoman Empire is actually an invading empire on Modern Day Turkey(Anatolia). It is just that people of Turkey converted to islam, so they claim Ottoman Empire as their own but technically it is a turkic dynasty of central asia. It is like if the Indians adopted Protestant Christianity then they claim British Rule as their own, which is obviously nonsense.
By the way, the Indian troops under the command of Dalpat Singh Shekhawat fought and defeated the Ottoman Empire in Battle of Haifa (1918) and after this battle onwards the downfall of Ottoman Empire started. This defeat sealed the fate of the Ottoman Empire and led to its demise.
2. When I say Hindus it comprises modern day Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhist and Jains. They all belong to one Dharmic Traditions. British made division in order to divide the Dharmic society & later on further divided Hindus into castes. They made division and classification among hindus bcos they were constantly facing the revolts from hindus even after 1857, and it was getting difficult to control India & they thought if this continues then they might lose the control over India. So in order to keep the hindus in check, they made those division and classification. I would suggest you to check out Puneet Sahani's talks on TH-cam.He has exposed these things with facts, esp regarding how sikhs were separated from Sanatan Dharm (Hinduism) by the british. And by the way, caste is actually derived from Portuguese word 'Casta' . So it is actually a European concept not even an Indian concept & in order to break our spirit & make us feel inferior & embarrased of ourselves with loser mindset, they distorted & manipulated our history. And all these things are documented in 1871 British India Census Documents, Mcaulay writings, etc. Infact during the british era, there were more than 500 princely states, among them over 400 princely states belong to Shudra (SC caste or so called low caste) Kings. I suggest u to watch a documentary of Channel - Prachyam , video titled - Sahebs Who Never Left (Documentary) .
3. Regarding Indian History,which unfortunately we r not taught correctly bcos of distortion by British which was designed in such a way that to make us feel inferior. As George Orwell said - “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own history'. There is a proverb that says, “Until the lion tells the story, the hunter will always be the hero.” No wonder instead of reading History of Indians, We read history of outsiders. And till now we read history which was designed by british. And it is a big shame for all of us. Like for eg - one fact that over 1380 years have been deleted from the Indian history in order to adjust it into biblical timeline which is limited in nature i.e 2000-4000 years. Prof Vedveer Arya has written books on this & has given challenge to western historians on this.Vedveer Arya has given his talks on TH-cam. OR Aryan Invasion Theory, which was designed to create animosity between North India Vs South India. Infact it has been proven wrong by many people. And this theory now has been debunked many people now. So, there are plenty of things like this.
PART 2 - Arabs Vs Indians
PART 2 - Arabs Vs Indians and Indian victories over Arabs
When Arabs were at their peak and till that time whole Persia Iraq,Syria ,Egypt have fallen in front of Arab Caliphate and expanding their faith , they were defeated by the Indians..
Abu Bakr was made caliph after Muhmmad died. 634: Two years later, Umar I became caliph after Abu Bakr's death. Umar I reigned till 644.
636/637: During Umar I's reign, the first ever battle between Arabs Vs Indians took place, It was a naval battle b/w Indians Vs Arabs and the arabs were defeated by Chalukya Pulakeshin II. The Indians under the command of Pulakeshin 2 thrashed the Arab army which was under the Caliph Umar. The attack was repelled with Indians victory over Arabs.
637-643: Another attack on Bharuch was made by Arabs on al-Hakam's orders. Bharuch was then ruled by probably Dadda 2 Gurjara( Lāṭa)/Vijayarāja Chalukya, depending on exact year of attack. This attack was also a Gurjara/Chalukya victory for Indians.
643 : al-Hakam ordered invasion of Sindh,Chachnama declares it Indians victory. Sindh was then ruled by Chach of Alor (Aror). Arabs didn't gain anything by this naval attack on the port of Debal (Karachi), the Indians won.
The news of Arab defeat in Sindh was a serious anomaly for the Caliph's ears, which were habituated to hearing of victories in whichever direction the Arab armies went. Such was the demoralisation, that even the next Caliph Uthman, didn't dare attack India till his death.
663: In the reign of Caliph Ali, al-Harith raided the area of Kikanan (Kalat-Sibi area in Pakistan).The Arab commander was killed & Arabs were repelled.
During ~660-680, 6+ Arab attacks took place on Kikanan. But, the Indians resisted and Arabs didn't gain any territory despite frequent attacks.
Thereafter till 705 CE, the Caliphate experienced multiple civil wars. Kabul & Zabul Indian rulers defeated Arabs twice during this period.
708-711 CE : In the reign of Caliph al-Walid I, al-Hajjaj (Governor of Iraq) sent two Arab armies to attack Raja Dahir of Sindh. Raja Dahir first defeated the Arabs near Debal & killed Ubaidullah.Al-Hajjaj sent another commander, Budail, from from Oman to attack Sindh.Budail fought with Jaisimha, Dahir's son & was killed by Jaisimha. Arabs were again defeated at the frontiers of India & many are not aware before Raja Dahir got defeated , Raja Dahir actually defeated arabs 4 times consecutively, and before 712 AD there were many battle between many battle between Arabs Vs Indians & those wars were won by Indians. The battle Arab won was of Mohammad Bin Qasim victory in Sindh in 712 AD bcos Raja Dahir of Sindh have given refuge to some Arabs & they betrayed him. But later on when the news reached to the ears of Bappa Rawal & he not only thrashed Arabs from Sindh but also thrashed & chased the Arabs upto Persia & made check posts all the way from Persia to India. Probably this is the reason why Iranian r not fully Arabised & they still celebrate Pre Islamic festivals like Nauroz etc.
Later on Arabs were defeated by Indians under The Great Indian Emperor Samrat Lalitaditya Muktapida, whose dominance extended right from Bay of Bengal to Caspian Sea. The defeat of Arabs by The Great Lalitaditya was very humiliating for Arabs. After defeating Arabs, Lalitaditya ordered left over Arab soldiers to shave off half their heads as a symbol of their submission to Lalitaditya. For more info about Lalitaditya, you must read a medieval era text called - Rajatarangini by the author Kalhana.
Then Arabs were again thrashed by Indians under Mihir Bhoj & Rawal Khuman 2. How Arabs Described Mihir Bhoj -
Arab chronicle of Suleiman states that - Mihir Bhoj king of Jurz. Among the princes of India,there is no greater foe of there is no greater foe of Muhammadan faith than he.
And Rawal Khuman II fought the arabs and defeated the Abbasid Caliph army led by Al-Ma’mun . It was kind of a final encounter between Arabs Vs Indians. Khuman II fought the arabs & defeated Abbasid Caliph army led by Al-Ma’mun. It was kind of a final encounter between Arabs Vs Indians. Rawal Khuman II defeats arabs & captures their general Mahmud. Khuman’s victory over Mahmud was conclusive & since it was the army of the Caliphate ,it completely demoralised the Arabs. Mahmud was held captive by Khuman.He was let go after extracting heavy penalties from Arabs. So Indians didn't face any problem while dealing with Arabs.
The problem Indians faced was actually against Turkic people & Turkic are people belonging to central Asia that is modern day Kyrgyztan ,Uzbekistan, Tajikistan & Turkmenistan.
The mughals actually came from Uzbekistan. So they were all Uzbekis. *NOTE -Turks are those who belong to people of modern day Kyrgyztan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, & Tajikistan.And they invaded Anatolia and renamed it as Turkey. Otherwise Anatolia was originally and actually the part of Greece. This is the reason why people of modern day Turkey looks like European and not like Uzbekis,Tajiks or Turkmenistanis better to say Turks.
So against the Arabs , Indians did not face problems but it was actually against the Turks, we faced problems that too bcos of our own foolishness.
PART 3 - Why Indians failed to counter the Turks
PART 3 - Why Indians failed to counter the Turks
*NOTE -Turks are those who belong to people of modern day Kyrgyztan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, & Tajikistan.And they invaded Anatolia and renamed it as Turkey. Otherwise Anatolia was originally and actually the part of Greece. This is the reason why people of modern day Turkey looks like European and not like Uzbekis,Tajiks or Turkmenistanis better to say Turks.
*By the way, all these Ghori were Tajiks (Turks), Gznavi, Khilji , Tughlaq etc were all belonged to Khallaj Tribe which is actually a Turk Tribe. They islamised the whole Afghanistan after the fall of last Hindu Dynasty of Kabul - The Hindu Shahi Dynasty. The first serious Turk settlement happened in 1206 with start of Slave Dynasty in Delhi. And all other later dynasties after them were called Delhi Sultanates. And their actual rule was just limited to Delhi and nearby areas and later on they were overtaken by Mughals who came from Uzbekistan. And mughals were Turks too.
First SERIOUS Turk attack happen in 1025 & King Suheldev defeat these Turk led by Salar Maqsud in 1025.
But later on why we failed to counter them in later years esp from 1200s onwards.Bcos of following reason
a) Over dependence on Horses - 50%
(b) Not understanding the islamic ideology - 30%
-> A common reason for others too
(c) Not being united - 10%
(d) Miscellaneous Reasons - 10%
1. Bcos our Kings were over confident & not united.
2. This is the most important reason which comprises of 50% reason as i mentioned. It all started with mistakes by Hindu Shahi Dynasty of Afghanistan when they lose their grip over Central Asia particularly over Southern part of Central Asia & they didn't bother to establish their influence over their again.And why Central Asia was so important bcos all the Indian Kings used to get their majority horses from there. As Central Asian Horses were considered the best. In mediaeval time horses were the engine of any army.And unfortunately the Indian Kings from 500 A.D. onwards have started shifting their military tactics slowly, from being Infantry to cavalry that is horse based.And with each new century years passed,this dependency process speeds up. Its not that horses are not there in India. There are Indian breed horses. But Central Asian Horses were far more superior as compare to Indian horses.
So Indian Kings used to have horses even the Indian breed horses,but they never depended on them on the primary level when it comes to military. Horses were always seen as an additional strength for the military. And infantry was the strength of Indian Kings from the Ancient Vedic times ,this is the reason why infantry marital art was developed in India. The natural military strength of the Indians was always - Infantry, Elephants & Naval Power.
Even though there are several reason why they did that by shifting military tactic from infantry to cavalry. Though there are no specific reasons why they did that by shifting military tactic from infantry to cavalry as lot of information have been lost bcos of burning of so many books, libraries, universities and schools by the invaders. This happened bcos when Indian Emperor Skandgupta defeated Huns* & we Indians have established our supremacy over Eastern Hun Empire,esp Central Asian Region.And from their onwards Indians started shifting their military tactic from infantry to cavalry. It's not that people didn't caution them not to have over dependence on Horses & infact also stick to your natural strength that is infantry.And one can use cavalry as additional military method but dont let go off your natural strength that is infantry. But no one really bothered. And once the grip was lose over Central Asia. It created problem. And there was sudden collapse in the military structure & everything fall like a pack of cards.
And the dynasties which didn't shifted their 100% strength to Cavalry & stick to their natural strength,those dynasties survived & defeated these invaders like Vijayanagar Dynasty, Gajapati dynasty, Ahom dynasty etc.
Infact Ahom Dynasty of North East India defeated mughals more than 17 times. Both Vijayanagar & Gajapati Dynasty were got destroyed bcos of some other reason which I will explain later.
*Huns = Huns were considered a dangerous force in the world at one point of time. The Huns were nomadic warriors who terrorized much of Europe and the Roman Empire in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. The terror which the Huns caused over the Europe and the Roman Empire is something un-imaginable. Its was the Huns, who were responsible for the annihilation of Roman Empire. And with invasion of their Capital Rome in 452 AD, the Roman Empire was wiped out. But the force, which used to terrorize whole europe was defeated by Indian Emperor Skandgupta. The Hunas, under the leadership of Toramana, suffered a crushing defeat by the Indian Emperor Skandagupta in 458 AD
3. They all failed to understand religious ideology of invaders.Bcos even after loosing grip over Central Asia. Indians still won many battles like - Taimur Lang was defeated by Jograj Singh Gurjar in 1398. And the defeat was so devastating for Taimur that he literally fled India OR Ruler of Gajapati Empire (Eastern Ganga Dynasty) defeated these invaders in 1248 & many more etc.
So Indians still won many battles but they were so naive that they didn't understand that enemies they are facing. They all failed to understand the religious ideology of invaders. Bcos even after loosing grip over Central Asia. The Kings still won many battles but they were so naive that they didn't understand that enemies they are facing are not your typical enemies. They are all driven by ideology of Islamic Zealotry
4. Over Confidence, being naive & foolishness. Even though there are so many examples but I will give you few examples among many examples :
Queen Naiki Devi defeated Ghori in 1178 but instead of chopping his head she let him go free OR Another eg : After defeating & capturing Mohmad Ghori in 1191, Prithviraj Chauhan releases Mohammad Ghori in 1191. And this proved to be a heavy mistake for Prithviraj Chauhan OR King Vidyadhara Chandela defeated Mahmud Ghazni but let him go free but due to code of honour King Vidyadhara let the retreating invader Gazni go OR Alaudin Khalji was defeated in battle in 1488 by Badal-Gora OR another eg - Rana Hammir Singh defeats Muhammad bin Tughluq in 1326 and captured Mohammad bin Tughlaq & jailed him for 6 months and then let him free.
Another eg - Rana Sanga defeated invaders like Ibrahim Lodhi, Sultan of Delhi in Battle of Khatoli (1517) and Battle of Dholpur (1518) .
And Rana Sanga also defeats & capturs Islamic Sultan Mahmud Khilji II in 1519.Later on he defeats another islamist Sultan Malik Hussain in 1520. Malik Hussain surrender in front of Rana Sanga & he later took all his wealth. Later in the same year, Rana Kumbha defeats the coalition army of two islamic sultanate . And with this Rana Sanga became the supreme power in the Northern India. After Babur (Founder of Mughal Dynasty) capturing Delhi, Babur decided to attack Rana Sanga as soon as possible. In a two months long battle between the Turko Mongol army of Babur & Rana Sanga took place in Bayana (near Agra). The Mughals got defeated & were forced to retreat to Agra. This time Rana Sanga didn’t follow the policy of wiping out the invading enemies as he did against the other islamic Sultans. He was sure that from this defeat Babur will not attack him and this gave Babur enough time to recover & to recover & prepare for the final climax at Khanwa, which was the first and the last defeat of Rana Sanga. The undefeated Rana Sanga had finally made a miscalculated move and this proved to be a heavy mistake on his part.
Another eg : Maharana Pratap when he defeated 3rd Mughal King Akbar in Battle of Dewair (1582) ,he had the golden opportunity to grab the Delhi Throne and when everything was going in his favour, he just let that idea go away. Maharana Pratap not understanding that they are not your typical enemies, infact the aim is Jihad & expand their ideology. And there are many examples like this. And there are many examples like these.
Not understanding islamic ideology has been a big problem of not just of Indians, but also for other Pre islamic civilisations
Stupidity like many of mughal expansion was done by some Indian Kings bcos many Indians kings had ego tussle & internal conflict between them. So it was obvious, outsiders will take advantage of this. Like - it was Raja Man Singh who expanded Mughal Empire by defeating & subduing old kingdoms of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha and also conquered Kabul for 3rd Mughal King Akbar. Infact, in mughal empire, the land right from from Kabul to Bengal was actually conquered by Indian King Raja Man Singh when he allied with 3rd Mughal King Akbar bcos of tussle between Raja Man Singh and Maharana Pratap.
There was also a big issue with Indian Kings that once they have given their word to someone, they always maintain that at any cost. And these invaders always took advantage of this. And this has been a big problem of Indian Kings esp from 13th century onwards, when they have given their word to someone they fully respected it & maintained it as it was a matter of pride for them and it was seen as a manly thing, a sign of masculinity. But whenever the enemy got a chance to violate it & defeat the Indian Kings, they always did.
5. Another example : When Humayun (Father of 3rd Mughal King Akbar) was leaving they get refuge in Amarkot in Sindh by King Rana Prasad. He gave refuge to Humayun and his family who were struggling at that time. Not understanding the islamic ideology. Later on these were the same Mughals who butchered the people in order to spread islam.
* You gave invaders one chance, they will come and annihiliate you. Like people of Anatolia gave one chance to Turks and Turks captured Anatolia, destroyed them and islamised them completely. The Persians gave arabs a single chance and arabs came and destroyed persia and islamised them completely and arabs gave Ottoman Empire one chance and Ottoman Empire enslaved them.And unfortunately our ancestors gave turkic invaders multiple chances to revive and attack us. So it was bound to happen that sooner or later, one of the turks will finally establish a full fledged empire in India. And finally it happened in the form of mughal empire
6. Indians were fighting among themselves too. Like the downfall of Gajapati Empire was bcos of continous attacks by Vijayanagar Dynasty from the south.Gajapati Empire (Formerly knownn as Eastern Ganga Dynasty). It defeated the invaders multiple times & later on decided to march towards Delhi & finish this mess once & for all. But it got attacks from its southern part from The Vijayanagar Dynasty. This diverted Gajapati Empire's attention & they got busy in fighting the Vijaynagar Dynasty. And this gave Foreign Invading Army of Delhi Sultanate to revive itself and attack when they saw the opportunity. With the decline of Eastern Ganga Dynasty (later on came to be known as Gajapati Empire) , The Vijaynagar Dynasty captured the Southern part of Gajapati Empire (Eastern Ganga Dynasty)
7. Employing these Central Asian people in their Army as commanders and generals. Best eg - Vijayanagar Empire. The capital of Vijayanagar Empire was considered the finest capital in the whole world. And they were very powerful Kingdom. But in Battle of Talikota which was a fight between Vijayanagar Empire Vs Bahamani Sultanate and outsiders like Gilani brothers, who were appointed as commanders of Vijayanagar Army & betrayed King Rama Raya in the name of jihad against kafir & supporting the invader islamic army and boom , the Empire Collapsed.
8. And most shocking the Indians were fighting the Indians. Like during the initial period of Mughal time, the many warriors in army of mughals were actually Indians. And there is a problem with a Polytheists culture like Hinduism , Greeks, Pagan culture etc that they all easily accept the belief system of others bcos in their own Polytheists culture there are many gods and belief system so accepting a new system is not an issue for them. And this is here problem arise with monotheistic religion like Islam and Christianity that says our God is the only true God & your God is fake. And this is here Polytheists failed to understand their ideology.
9. Finally, among all invaders, mughals establish themselves as the supreme power in India. Mughals came from modern day Uzbekistan. Mughals had turkic - Mongolian genes and they came from Central Asian region, specifically from modern day Uzbekistan. From 1526 onwards, Mughal Empire gets founded by Babur when Babur captures Delhi but later on his son Humayun (2nd Mughal King) was forced into exile when he lost battles in 1539 & 1540. He then gets shelter & refuge by Sindh King Rana Prasad. With arrival of Akbar (son of Humayun & 3rd Mughal King) , at that time Vikramaditya Hemu was sitting at Delhi Throne and he controlled an area right from Bengal to Delhi and some areas beyond it. Abul Fazl (court historian of Akbar) noted that prior to battle of panipat,Hemu had fought & won all 22 battle & never lost any battle.
Akbar fights Hemu & defeats Hemu in 2nd Battle of Panipat (1556) & finally establish mughals . And with the help of Raja Man Singh of Jaipur, mughal empire established themselves as the strongest empire of North India. It was Raja Man Singh who expanded Mughal Empire from Kabul in the North West to Bengal in the east by defeating & subduing old kingdoms of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha and also conquered Kabul for 3rd Mughal King Akbar. Infact, in mughal empire, the land right from from Kabul to Bengal was actually conquered by Indian King Raja Man Singh when he allied with 3rd Mughal King Akbar as there was ego tussle between Raja Man Singh and Maharana Pratap.
And the exact geographical area of Mughal Empire was - Kabul in the North West to Bengal in the east and to Satpura range in the frontiers of deccan that is southern boundaries of state Madhya Pradesh and Norther Bounderies of state Maharashtra. And below mughal empire, there was Ahmednagar Sultanate, Bijapur Sultanate and Golcondas. And below them there was scattered areas which were left, after the fall of Vijayanagar Empire.
