Morality, Diplomacy, and Power Dynamics: Courtesans of India
'These courtesans were artists who were carriers of the nation's enormous history, creating cultural movements by their strokes and the turnings of their wrists. At the core of the institutionals values of courtesans lay a deeper, divine purpose of uplifting the mundane world of mortals, allowing them to envision the bigger picture.'
Madhur is the author of the bestselling book ‘Courting Hindustan,’ published by Rupa Publications and has been hailed as one of the leading Odissi dance masters of his generation. The Indian Express has lauded Gupta as ‘one of the few male artists (in a field mostly dominated by women), who not only p...

I hate this temple
why?
Sound quality smudged an otherwise extremely delightful talk
Madam, stop your presentation on Brutal Murderer Ashoka.
Sir THE GREAT ASHOKA being kept and worshipped by each and every BHARATIYA INDIAN as the ASHOKA STAMBHA ASHOKA PILLARS are on CURRENCY notes so salute him JAI HIND BHARAT MATA KI JAY JAY ASHOKA VANDE MATARAM JAI GAUTAM BUDDHA
@@energylinesavtech4397ji The leftist eco system had fabricated so many stories about him and we were taught and brainwashed that Ashoka had renounced "Himsa" and started practicing and preaching AHIMSA, after the Kalinga war ,where he had killed Kalinga soldiers in Lakhs. But the fact is that after embarassing "Boudha ideology, and after 5 years, he had invaded Kalinga during that war, he had inflicted the Lakhs of soldiers death. Having the Pillar &; emblem on as signs, was created once again by leftist who were in ruling under the disguse of the Congress.
Thank you.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉good thanks 🙏🏻 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great lecture. Thank you.
This applies to the speaker as well : ruclips.net/user/clipUgkxiiUpigr_bT2Wvqpzpc2kGyqcqHaDj5G-?si=NaNKKDKG1S2aHA5c
China gifted the Chinese Virus and says they will not make their forefathers ashamed
Good
Thank-you to the gentleman in the audience for making the point he did @38mins<> I also thought the idea was preposterous that Islam introduced monotheism to movements that were mentioned around that time period
Appreciate your explanation on the family/descendants of Sultan. With primary sources provided, it is a very factual account. Such a thing is hard to come by from an average Indian historical presenter. Thank you sir.
It is not clear why the historian in the middle has said that Vishnu is not mentioned in the Vedas ... he is mentioned in five different places in the Rg Veda, and iconically in his three strides across the universe
The naturalistic frame from which the interpretation of the Gayatri was presented by the gentleman in the middle presents the engagement in worship as being quite simplistic; only being based upon fear rather than on any deep reflective cognitive or feeling capacity to reach for the infinite. Can we really think that those people were that simplistic that they only made such sophisticated pronouncements based upon fear?
Excellent. Myth, Religion and history.
Wonderful listening to Manu Pillai weaving together so many factual details into his speech, exposing India's royalty, their excesses and their exceptional talent to play one off against the other, and who still to this day, continue to perpetutae the mystique that surrounds them. The speech was presented in one easy flow. However , most of the audience had a pained expression on their faces ....wonder why they were there at all!!! How much of the information that Manu had shared with this disinterested crowd, had percolated into their collective consciousness?
Hello, I have a question, Mr.Borne while travellig and making photos in India, was he with some other member of the english army; that maybe were with him to study the territory?
Dhaka Muslin have nothing to do with calcutta

Na hindi na urdu we are dakhani ❤

Its always a pleasure listening to Manu..thank you
Nice to listen to his stories
Good article
Really informative. Manu is indeed very articulate n it's a pleasure listening to him. There is no I - know - it - all air about him. Really enjoyed the session.
Great Mr. Sriram
Quite delightful presentation on the growth of Madras city - interesting & educative. It is a tough job to cover the whole gamut of Chennai city' s history since its early inception in a given time. Some details are new to me and I never ran into them before. I wish you' d made a brief note on the father of Tamil cinema director K.Subramanium & pioneers like AVM & S.S. Vasan. Anyway, your talk is quite useful for history buffs & others.
Interesting, informative. These untold stories have been buried for so many years. Eternally thankful to Manu for remarkably presenting it.
Very heartening to see so many young Bharatiyas wading so deep into our history. We have to write our history.
This guy is Indian Yuval Noah Harari. Great lecture. Glad to know you Manu.
Such a grate idea it can't be better than this
While presenting history and mentioning about some specific areas should not omit some main personalities on personal ground.
