Understanding Indian Civilization

How can Buddha non Aryan, he is Hindu upper caste, bro do your research properly

As a history student I can say this video have many problem, a leftist view of India, don't consider the complexity of caste, overtime in India lower caste become higher and vice versa, so man it's a problematic video

this guy has very half half knowledge

Marxist History

i think you mean indo european instead of indo aryan
indo aryans are descendants of indo iranians, which themselves are distants of indo europeans
so the origin of indo aryans is very close to south asia, but their ancestor indo europeans are from potic caspian steppe

Have u heard about Chariot found in Sinauhli (Northern Part of India) it predates the Aryan Migration. Second, If Aryan has Sanskrit as a language then why it is not present in present Unkrain, not as an archiological evidence. U don't understand caste system, actually it is called Varna System. British created Caste System by defining the castes as a part of Divide & Rule policy. There are many stereotypes in your video that needs corrections based on the facts. As u agreed, there is more to learn about India. U forgot the fact to mention that Why Invaders & English came to India, for wealth. You forgot to mention about how advance this civilisation was. There are many other flaws too but I can understand your western prism to see the Indian Civilization. More Honesty and Facts required. Try again after rigorous study.

India is continuously playing a more and more importantly role in the order of things.

just pure baseless information

bunch of nonsense

Seems like Indian empires didn’t do anything

Caste system originally was not complex there is no any evidence of fight and genocide in indus valley no any evidence of attacks there is no sighn of any invasions historically brahmins did not hold much power in kingdoms the great your knowledge of jati and varna are juvenile the most worst exploitation was done by protestant and catholic church they believe superstitious thing brahmins used to live like a monk this video is complete nonsense most corruption was done by christains pope

There are many factual inaccuracies in your video
1. You literally assumed that indus valley people spoke dravidian language, but there is zero evidence to support this claim, because the script is not yet deciphered and we know literally nothing about their culture to make comments like this.
2. The reason why people say aryans migrated into India is because you wont find any mass graves like you find in Europe or central asia, which proves a brutal invasion, but because there are no mass graves around the indus valley or the India subcontinent of that time , propagators of this theory have to rely on migration hypothesis.
3. You also assumed the ethnicity of a person by just seeing the figures of IVC, which is just plain stupid as no one has any idea about the lifestyle, culture, or ethnicity of IVC people.
4. Also you didn't mention that the origin of indo european languages is not proven to be pontic steppe, this hypothesis has many criticisms because it was assumed to be the origin because it was at the center of Eurasia, the spread of languages is not symmetrical, in most cases its one way spread. For a better view on this one should read the final evidence by shrikanth talagiri, in his book he uses linguistic arguments to counter the pontic steppe homeland, he also uses rig veda and zend avesta to support his claim, while I dont agree with him on everything he does have a strong grasp on the topic.
5. The decline of Indus valley civilization is not an invasion, but climate change and discovery of tin in cyprus. The IVC people used to trade with egyptians and mesopotamians by selling them bronze made from tin, lapis lazuli and some other semi precious stones because they had the complete monopoly over these resources which helped them to become a very rich and equal civilizations which had huge cities and ports. But when tin was discovered in cyprus around 1900 BC, egyptians and mesopotamians started buying tin from cyprus and instead of IVC people which ended their monopoly over tin, tin is very important to make bronze, if one uses another alloy with copper instead of tin, the resulting metal is very weak compared to bronze and during this period iron was even more expensive than gold so they had no other choice but to keep using bronze. After some time eqyptians and mesopotamians also stared discovering some semi precious stones around their area which limited the trade with IVC with only lapis lazuli, because at that time lapis lazuli was only found in Afganistan. This massive trade loss along with climate change which resulted into drying up of saraswati river, irregular rain patterns and frequent flooding of indus river resulted into deurbanization of IVC and eventually the fall of IVC, not any aryan invasion.
6. If rig veda was written by outside invaders why is that so that they only talk about the flora and fauna of India, why do they mention rivers of India and not volga, upon reading rig veda one realizes that these people could'nt be foreigners. I know this is just circumstanicial evidence not hard evidence but I dont find it convicing that someone from central asia wrote rig veda.

Your understanding of India is not good enough.

Roman empire is decentralised not only romans almost all ancient empires were decentralised ...eventhough they came after mauryas..

I'm Goan

FYI ST ARE TRIBES BUT NOT AS IN INDEGENIOUS BUT IT'S A TRIBAL RESERVATION FOR TRIBAL PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW TRIBAL RELIGION AND NOT MAIN RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD SOME OF THE TRIBES WERE LATE ENTRIES INTO THE SUBCONTINENT LIKE THE AUSTROLOIDS IN EASTERN SIDE OR BIHAR-ODISSA BELT

If it was an invasion then how come dravidians survived unlike the other places where aryans attacked like Europe natives were genocided so it suggest it was peaceful

some areas of the Philippines should be included in the maps of Indian influence you were showing. We were a part of the Maritime trade between China and India/Middle East and we looked towards Malaysia/Indonesia for cultural advancement before the Spanish conquest.

india geobiology is crazy af too it was a part of africa before then got split up and crash into the asian contintent, that's how the himlaya got created

As an Indian, someone who has studied the Vedic corpus, and as an economist, your analysis is really good

You know exactly what your “white education system” teach about India in your text books which include Aryan invasion theory , calling tribes and forest dwelling people as “indigenous people”Describing manufactured division between North and South....caste system , calling Vedic period as indo Aryans and associating them with masculinity ....calling budhdha a non Aryan Nobel person 🤣🤣wtf if he wasn't Aryan or whatever ....how this family ruled a part of North East India ??
If you really want to know about India, then first of all you will have to get away from western prejudice.

A lot to know, a lot to discussed.

appreciate the effort making videos on India, but you are not so informed about India .

Quite ironically, the Indian Nationalists that he just trolled, if you remove Modi by Trump and the "Om" by the Cross, you'd get the Trump-fanatics that he occasionally tries to please. So, one of them is bad cuz they live in a different Geographical location, and the other one is good(for obvious reasons), despite sharing the same attributes.

Bro studied from WhatsApp university

as an indian, i approve of this video

The mexicans are invading, not migrating...

history of india has always been a ideological conflict between buddhism and brahminism (brahminical hinduism)

What a comon western person knows about India ->Caste + cow + curry //nothing more 😂😂

Aryan Invasion Theory was a colonial fairy tale invented to justify the White man’s supremacy over natives. It’s been so thoroughly disproved that they even shifted the goalpost from invasion to “migration”. It would be good if people do not further spread such myths.

Seeing many videos from this channel, the guy is evidently biased against the “Hindu Nationalists” he even says as much at the start. See the problem is not that we don't like criticism of our country or PM, I myself am a supporter of the ruling BJP and I know there are many faults about Modi and many structural problems in our country. The people are pissed off when the same age old trope of bashing 1 community is used by people with no idea about the history of our country or how the modern republic has took shape here.

It’s not his fault, the only sources they got are western academics and journalism houses who will not praise India even on their best days.

If there was one thing that led to the Delhi Sultanate conquering India it would've been the lack of unity. The kings felt that it was more honorable to back stab their very own alliances so that they could receive a profit from the invasion of the Sultanate. This led to a cultural downfall of India for a few hundred years which dropped even further when the British Christian Missionaries arrived after the East India Company annexed the subcontinent. Multiple famines, and revolts were made. The British did leave a few Princely States, but under the Doctrine of Lapse. Another thing was that Indians were not motivated to fight against the British, and most of the news about the horrific crimes the British committed to hinder the cultural progress as well as maintain their fear over the public was discarded. The British did not invade the subcontinent until the Maratha Empire started to rise, they found a weak point, and started to plan for complete dominance.

It is incredible how powerful the Dravidians were in the past. The Aryans conquered and enslaved whole Europe, Central Asia and Persia and forced the native populations to speak a Indo European language. But the Dravidian warriors defeated the Aryans and protected their language and culture.

india is a very maximalist culture. it is like the opposite of Scandinavia. Indian food is overflowing with spices and random ingredients, Norwegians eat like plain fish and some bread. Indians outfits are all extremely overflowing with patterns and colors. Norwegians dress in earth tones. Indians have the entire village turn out for a wedding with 10,000 people. Norwegians have like their immediate family and thats it. lol

It’s an entire culture built on relieving yourself outdoors for the olfactory enjoyment of others.

It is strange how you are willing to accept the Aryan invasion theory even though the Indo Aryan theory is so pathetically fragile that it doesn't deserve to be anything more than a theory.

From watching this v, i understood one thing, you dont even know1% about India

Nepali are jealous of this and wants to claim it as Nepalis heritage🤣🙂🤣😂😅

This guy is the definition of what a white man says its true read the latest research theres no evidence of indus valley speking dravidian and theres no evidence of aryan invasion now its aryan miggration, all of what he says are just hypothesis.

The caste system is a great genetic preserver and wife provider for men.

aryan invasion is a myth.

Bro just to correct the insane western mistake that you are making but it has been proved that indo-aryan theory is a complete shit , it has been proved that there are no evidence for this and for your knowledge this theory came upon under the British rule to make them seem superior you can check for facts in India is completely busted and I would recommend you to not trust any western book about India as it contain 50 % false information like caste and widow burning which they know nothing about and the reasons behind it. Thank You

Bro! You know nothing about Hindu philosophy. Hindu fight against Muslim and Christian invaders. Still we are a living civilisation. Ur life time is not sufficient to understand let alone theories Hindu religion. U glorified Islamic civilisation in ur other Video but did failed to stress enough on millions of lives suffered due to Islamic slavery in Africa, Europe and Asia.

Why philippines isnt part of indian civilization?
