There are so many similarities between the Mamluks of Delhi and Egypt ; being founded by Aibaks, influential women Razia & Shajar, and ofc defeating Mongols
Yup true
They all come from Kazakhstan. Kipchak Kings
@@nurithegolden5755 The founders and majority of the armies of both Mamluk Sultanates, yes
@@nurithegolden5755Qalawun, the Aibaks, Iltutmish, and most importantly Baybars are some of the most notorious of the Mamluk-Kipchak Sultans
@@nurithegolden5755but indian mamluks came from karalok turks modern day uzbekistan
I didn't know Delhi had such a rich and complex history. Thank you for this Epimetheus
It's not rich it's dark period od indian history
@@navinsingh5564 Indians hate it solely because it was a muslim kingdom and not a hindu, otherwise they would have loved it.
Indian history is pretty damn cool. I wish we could see more medieval India inspiration in video games
be quiet, gaymer
Total War? Crusader Kings? Civ?
@@miniondaechir that's only 3 series, and total war only has India in one game. And they only feature India. You don't really get to experience the history or culture.

Grear to see you covering more Indian History! Id love to see you do an episode on the Chalukyas and Cholas, as I've been reading the book 'Lords of the Deccan' by Anuridh Kanisetti. Its a great read for anyone interested in Narrative History and the period at large.
Also if you're in Delhi (and not a vegetarian/vegan) I highly suggest Haji Mohammad Hussein's fried chicken at Jama Masjid.
You got good taste! Manu Pillai's books are also pretty good.
Lmao Aniruddh Kanisetti is more like a hogwashed pseudo historian who is more like an internet theorist than an actual professional.
Anirudd Kanisetti is not a very neutral historian. He has a narrative that he wants to display and has huge biases and cherry picks centre pieces of history whilst leaving other bits out all to simply fulfil his narrative.
If you want to learn about a more neutral historian but offers multiple perspectives, search Jay Vardhan Singh
That’s not Indian history but Turkic
If you're visiting Delhi, you can see the remnants of the Delhi fortress near kashmiri gate, all the way to old delhi and chandni chowk. The area is very crowded but the food is incredible. Highly recommend checking out Karim's restaurant, which is in front of Jama mosque for some authentic Mughal cuisine. In southern Delhi, you can see the Qutub minar (tower), which stands from the times of the Delhi sultanate. Another popular spot is Hauz khas, which has remnants of a complex which dates to the Khiljis. Even older complexes can be found in Indraprastha.
karim's restaurant is the worst one in delhi. the food is just over priced compared to its standard and quality.
@@kamakshikauldamn Karim did you dirty, huh?
Thank god you’re back brother, I was worried for a second. I’m not quite ready to sit down and watch all of this yet because I’m about to pass out.
It’s been a while, but I’m glad to see activity again. The history community is sleeping on you brother.
Have a great Christmas and New Year.
Thanks man! I appreciate that :D
@@EpimetheusHistorycan you make a video about the Taino people of the Caribbean before colonization.
@@EpimetheusHistory We need more people like you spreading good knowledge
Welcome back, Epimetheus.
The rise and fall of imperial dynasties and the endless cycle of military takeovers that quickly descend into civil wars upon the death of the conquering ruler or mismanagement by unworthy successors is brought into very stark light by your videos.
The best historic site in delhi include mughal monuments like humayuns tomb, red fort, jamia masjid and slave dynasty monuments like qutb minar and the whole qurb complex, and as far food is concerned near jamia masjid there is Al jawahar, asalm chicken, qureshi kabab, karims, as well as in jamia nagar there is ballimaran and javid nihari, u should try these especially their mutton muglai cusine
I also heard that the Mullah Do Pyaza is the best there 😂
@@stormshadow5283 yes the dish as well as rhe person is famous here😂😂
@@yameenulhaq280
But now the muslims have been cornered in old Delhi which now is called central Delhi in which they are only 30% of the population in central Delhi
And there are close to no muslims in other districts of Delhi and new delhi (close to 5%) 🥲
Delhi has now become a Hindu and Sikh city 🥲😭
@@DhruvSharma5972 100 percent right.. Actually many Muslims migrated to Pakistan after partition and Muslims remain a minoriry in delhi around 13 percent and mainly concentrated in old delhi chandani chowk... But muslim influence is widely felt across delhi be it in food or monuments
all those are formed after destroying Indian monuments and temples and ur mughal buildings are formed using remnants of hindu temples and architecture. Learn history for real without living in lies
Delhi Sultan’s after a few years of stability: invades Bengal.
Bengal after a few years of instability: fuck Delhi
Fun fact : Talking about muslim sultanate in India will trigger 1 billion indians, Now a days
Just like Nepali idiots think there history start from Gorkha unification while ignoring how they were under Indian kingdoms for atleast 4000 years. Now go & cry me a river.😂😂
well he is right , most of indians like you do get triggered nowdays@@PahadiSher
@sahilsingh6048 It triggered you more when I spoke the truth that nepal was just a region for Indian & Chinese empires, so poornthat they didn't even bother conquering it.😂
You're no different
Despite the challenges and complexities, India's history is a source of inspiration, showcasing the ability of a nation to evolve while preserving its timeless traditions. It is a narrative that continues to unfold, inviting us to explore the tapestry of its past and appreciate the resilience, diversity, and cultural wealth that define this extraordinary nation.
as usual, your narration plus the beautiful arts make the videos a real treat to watch!
There's "out of control" drunk, and then there's "riding an elephant while throwing money at people" drunk.
I have been reading a lot of Asian history lately, but Medieval Indian kingdoms are something I really need to do more work on. Thank you as ever for giving me this motivation to get back into my hobby...
even funnier: the guy was Muslim
I see you've made another fantastic video as always! I appreciate you covering an empire that isn't discussed nearly enough in the west! With that said though, I would appreciate it even more if you start including sources in the description of the video or in a pinned comment so that people can verify the information in your video. It's not that I don't trust you, I'd just like to see the sources you're using to come to your conclusions.
I am very excited you're back! I love your videos, especially the narration, visuals, and most importantly presenting the information in a digestable manner.
Thank you for this neglected and rich history.
The narrators voice is excellent for the job .
Thank you .
Glad to see fresh stuff coming out from epimethius!
Can you cover the kannujj tripartite struggle next? Or maybe the Gajapati empire?
Chadjapati Empire....destroyer of the Mlecchas ❤
Great vid man. Keep up the good work.
one of the best history videos i have seen. keep it up
Always a good day when a new Epimetheus video drops
Can’t wait for the extended version of this, one of my favorite series on RUclips
All the history! I find it all fascinating and am glad that I stumbled across your channel.
Glad to see you back friend, your content is great
Thank you for the clear narrative with out unneeded noisy background music
Epimetheus coming in clutch when I’m looking for something to listen to while I iron some shirts.
Love seeing your videos, the art assets and maps are always top notch!
Razia was quite a woman for that age to revolt.
Sounds like THA QUEEN 👑
She was also a bloodthirsty slaughterer of the indigenous Hindu people
She was.. Even to this day there are many folk tales and poems dedicated to her.
Razi was an awful ruler. Sure, she's a strong women and managed to fight her way to the top in a world dominated by misogynistic men at the time, but her rule was awful with her religious persecution. She destroyed the Kashi Vishveshwar Temple in Varanasi and built the Razia Mosque on top of it. This temple was as important for Hindus as Mecca Masjid is for Muslims or Vatican or St Paul's is for Christians
@@dwarasamudra8889 number one, wow I didn't know about the Kashi Temple being pillaged by Razia, will look into that. Thanks.
Lastly, Vatican is not important for Christians. It's only for Roman Catholics.
Orthodox Christians (who make 20% of Christians) and Protestants (who make 40% of Christians) have nothing to do with Vatican.
But yeah, if you want to relate on the importance on a Holy Place for Christians, then it has to be "the Church of Holy Sepulchure" or even "the Church of Nativity" which are significant for almost all Christians in the world irrespective of their denominations.
The Crusades started only when the Fatimid Caliph Billah burned the Church of Holy Sepulchure that led to the Christian-Muslim fights in The Holy Land.
I am very distraught with hearing that even Kashi Temple was pillaged. I never knew about that.
Is there any fund or organisation that I can donate to rebuild it? I'll do my contribution.
Thanks.
@@ritikshaw5868 folk tales like what? Your masturbation fantasies are not folk tales lmao
Absolutely brilliant. Great knowledge and love the touch of humour 👍
One of my biggest problems with contemporary historians, even independent ones on RUclips, is that they act like no culture outside of Western Europe existed unless Europe wanted something from it.
My favorite thing about Epimetheus is that when he covers world history, he covers WORLD history. India especially is overlooked and he's the only quality source I can find on it and for that I respect him massively.
That's colonialism based Euro-Centricity for you.
@@FDSixtyNinenobody is keeping anybody from talking about non european history.
@@konradvonschnitzeldorf6506Who said anyone is keeping people from it?
@@GrigRP I am just tired of people complaining about europeans talking about european history lmao. It even happened in University, if you wanna study non-european history maybe expect it from non-europeans.
many contemporary historians are more aware than you give them credit for. It also depends on where the historian is from and is capable of.
it’s always a good day when epimetheus uploads
Thank goodness you're back I was just like what happened to this guy his videos are amazing
Incredible video as usual! You've taught me a lot about this region
The Turkish influence on India is so strong yet amazing that Indians don't know about it. You might claim that Hindus don't but no one does. India language has so many Turkish words our tax system etc so much Turkish influence.
Also woman Sultan in those times. There was a movie about her too.
Lol, no ...
This is misinformation....
The Urdu language is literally the result of Turkic influence on india
@@rishavkumar1250that explains his point....
Most of that turkic culture went to Pakistan. The more refined hindi are urdu are seperate from each other and you can clearly distinguish between them.
@@silentbyte196 Non sense Indians don't use words like Sabzi Chai and so many others in daily language? What non sense! You have no knowledge just foolish commenting. Even taxation system has their influence. Foods also have their influence. What Pakistan 🤦
They have very little influenced and in just the one part of India(North-western India) not whole of country that's why not much popular or influencial among Indians. Most important thing a foriegn culture can do to make its impact is religion but they failed to convert the majority of Hindus and just have to adjust with them most of the time. Those words are not Turkish but are Persian and this language influence is both way From Persian/Turkic to Indian or vice-versa. The same can also be said about the culture, architecture, cuisine etc.
You make great videos. I learn from you every time. I hope you get rich and make these forever.
As always brother, it’s a pleasure to watch your videos!
Hey, nice to see you back 👊🏻👍🏻
Terrific work as always mate
One correction, Delhi wasn't an insignificant "fortified town" It was indeed the capital of the Tomars a Rajput dynasty, It was established as the capital city by King Angapala 2 in the 11th century and was named Dhillika before being renamed as Delhi and before being named Dhillika it was called Indraprastha which was the capital of the Pandavas in Mahabharata, Dhillika was eventually conquered by Chauhans another Rajput dynasty and was ruled by them until it was lost to the Islamic barbarians.
It was insignificant, India itself was insignificant until muslims came and made it into a major imperial power.
Great video, keep it up!
Yay!! Video from Epimetheus!
Qutb ud Din Aibak is buried outside Lohari gate in Lahore. He did not have a grand grave until the 1970's when the premier of the time heard that Aibak did not have a tomb and sought to remedy that. His tomb is a simple one that does not do the man justice but is better than a simple grave.
Bhutto or Zia?
Welcome back king
The Chalukyas or the Hoysalas of the Deccan could use a video, I think there's less content on them as compared to the Cholas or Vijayanagara.
Great work sir!
I was born in Delhi and have spent my whole life in this city.
I have learned more Indian history from your channel than from my textbooks!😂
I live in Mehrauli which is where the qutub minar( built by the orders of qutub ud din aibak) is situated.
Most of the people you mentioned are buried like 2-3 kilometres away from me including Shamsuddin Iltutmish and Alludin Khilji!
If you ever visit Delhi, please come to Mehrauli.
Food is awesome in every corner of Delhi!
Thank you for your efforts 🙏.
That one king was really insane I am surprised he stayed on the throne that long
The city of Delhi has such a rich and varied history,a tapestry formed over the centuries
The worst part when the Delhi Sultanate fell was the loss of the chicken salad sandwich supremacy. You could go on any block, any street corner, and there'd be a shop with chicken salad sandwiches, coleslaw, potato salad, tuna salad, the works, but when the Sultanate fell, so too did the delis.
Amazingly detailed and informative❤❤
History of my homeland ❤️
Great that you are back, but what happened to your voice?
The man is back and he was cookin 🔥
Could you also cover Tibet someday?
Only Ghaznavids were Turko-Afghan ,,, Ghorids, Ghalji and Lodhis are Afghans
Don't spread misinformation here. Ghaznavids were Turks, and Ghurids were probably Tajiks who were Buddhist before. Even Lodis are called Turko Afghans. Just because they ruled over you Afghan people it doesn't make them Afghan.
@abdullahnasir2882 stop spreading BS and try to accept reality burst the bubble in your head
@@abdullahnasir2882cry 😂
Well done! Just one important point , like khaljis and lodhis , seyeds were also ,Afghan.
The many medieval/early modern age Sultanates of India all have such interesting stories! This was continued in the form of for example the Nizam of Hyderabad until you could really day the partition of British India and the dissolution of the princely states.
Nizam was the biggest traitor
To Mughal in 1857 & To Maratha
First state to join subsidiary alliance of British
It was such a tragic time for India. Wish they never invaded 😓
@@dwarasamudra8889there was nothing tragic about it
Far better than radical hindus who were fighting with each other lol
@@Ankit-d9f4uwhat do you mean by radical hindus?? There was no hindutva nonsense back then. It's just like how Christian states fought against each other in Europe. Even Muslim states fought among themselves if they had a good excuse like if the opponent was shia or other sect of islam.
Ayyy new Epimetheus video!
What this video failed to tell is that the native Indian never saw any of them as their own as they were extremely cruel to non Muslim society including beheadings and genocide being common theme. That's the reason why every now and then they faced rebellions and their empires remained unstable. The local population was always fighting for freedom which gave rise to Marathas and Sikh empires. Islam was a curse of India which scarred it and tried to eliminate local culture but was never successful.
The Delhi sultans faced rebellions from other muslim rulers most of the time not from hindu.
U r just focusing on religion not on history
The legend is back!!!
please add Turkish subtitles.There is no video about this topic in Turkey
Are you alright brother? Your voice sounded a bit strained this time.
Aibak is the guy who built the Qutb Minar in the Mehrauli archeological complex of Delhi, which also includes the tomb of Iltutmish! The Qutb Minar is the tallest free-standing brick tower in the world!
Which was built after destroying 27 Sanatani temples as written on the Minar complex itself. Even the bricks were looted from the temples, barbarism all over the place!
bs rote rho hr jgh @@nikhiljoshiPi
@@MohsinRaza-uq2ow Acknowledging the barbaric behavior of invaders isn't crying. Massive numbers of Hindus were forcefully converted in times of the Delhi Sultanate, some of whom today pretend to be descendants of Turks and what not. So it is important to say this often and frequently. On top of that, this massive converted population eventually caused the partition of the motherland, so we ought to never forget this, ever.
@@nikhiljoshiPi those were jain temples though
@@rishavkumar1250he said Sanatani temples
He hasn't uploaded in 5 months, yet he comes out with this banger. Thanks!
9:12 this reminds me of house of the dragon 😂😂😂😂
Babe wake up new epimetheus video
In short Iranian Muslims from Iran either being Persian , Turkish , Pashtun or Baluchis migrated to Hindustan just to escape Mongol Invasion to Iran. They Brought lots of historical books and records that's the reason they survived even after mongol invasion such as epic of Shahname
The same muslims burned down libraries & universities in India so that's that.
@@PahadiSher No they are not the same, Iranic people had a cultulre as high and as ancient as "Hindus", if not more
No we invaded India and we tuled there for more than 700 years, and we set persian as the official language
mongols just thrashed the muslims hahah
Great video.
Great work !
Delhi Sultanate was mad based.
Babe wake up Epimetheus just posted
Do a video on Finland.
Awesome video, please consider making videos on the Jiroft Culture, Sao Civilization, the Land of Punt, the Missisippian Culture, Dalma Culture and Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex. Please consider making a video on Tartessos and Paleohispanic Iberian peoples in general.
great story teller,from GREAT INDIA
For those who are interested, some excellent introductory books into the delhi sultanate would be "India in the Persianate Age" by Richard Eaton (which also have a section for mughals) and "Al Hind" by Andre Wink
When the Mongols faced armies that fought like them like the Mamluks and the Delhi Sultanate they faced their match. Mounted armies were the key to beat the Mongols that is how the Hungarians beast them in the second invasion.
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Really interesting as usual.
Great video! You never really see much on the Dehli sultanate. Mughal empire always takes the shine, but the sultanate is what establishes Islam as a lasting presence in the region
In Islam a slave can become a Sultan
Yeah there are too many examples. Like Sebuktigin (Ghaznavid founder father of Mahmud Ghazni), Malik Ambar, Sultan Baybars, etc.
It was alp tigin not subk tigin@@silentbyte196
Only in Islam and Christianity there can exist a slave.
The biggest loss is the centres of education that they destroyed. Nalanda with its 9 story high library, 10,000 students and 1,000 professors as well as student accommodations, classrooms and temples, was completely obliterated. Other centres of knowledge like Somapura, Vikramashila, Jaggadala, Odantapuri, Ujjaini (with its famous observatory), Kalyani, Vijayapura, Vidisha, Dharanagara, Varanasi, Srinagara etc were also destroyed
Can you say one good thing about the Delhi sultanate? Or are you that staunchly ideologically captured to dislike anything Muslim in this region? Just curious to see if you're at all objective in your thinking.
@@Diego-de6dqCan muslims say something nice about Israel or do you just hate jews?
@@Diego-de6dq they had military geniuses who repelled Mongols. And the Fort of Lalkot which wasn't much under the Rajputs was transformed into one of the largest and most wealthiest metropolis of thst era, Delhi. And another added bonus (not a direct action by the sultans) was because of them, India and the entire Middle East were sort of under a same system and trade directly between the Turks, Persians and Arabs reached to heights which would not have been possible under the Rajputs, a reason why Delhi became so prosperous. But to end.. The Delhi Sultanate period was a hot mess, marked with instability, mishandling and poor governance and unheard of levels of religious persecution.. Even when compared to the later Mughals, who were very stable and gave out good governance until they couldn't.
@@ritikshaw5868 You obviously have a more nuances view. There's a reason why I'm specifically asking the commentator this question. Also, I can't think of even one enormous empire, which wasn't a hot mess in terms of succession and overall ruling over a many diverse peoples. In each empire there were singular rulers who were geniuses in many aspects, but couldn't make it a continuous dynastic prosperity. This is excluding maybe Britain, since they during their peak were a constitutional monarchy, which turned out to be the superior form of governance in the long run.
@Diego-de6dq no, I can't think of a single good contribution by the Delhi Sultanate at all. They were foreign invaders and colonisers who sought to destroy the existing native languages, cultures, religions, arts, music, dances etc and replace it with their own foreign versions. Their reign was characterised by continous religious persecution, destruction of hundreds of major cities, systematic destruction of Indian temples, monasteries and univerisites, famine, rebellion, war and economic disaster. There was not a single good thing about their reign. Why should them being Muslim excuse them from criticism? The only people who like the Delhi Sultanate are people who have no problem of the cultural genocide they committed against the natives of India.
This is fascinating. Thank you for creating these videos and sharing your knowledge. You have a truly unique and awesome channel. The depictions of the incompetent brothers were really funny btw 😂

FINALLY BRO
BRAZIL HERE
India needs its former glory under the rule of Delhi Sultanate, Mughal Empire, Sikh Empire and Mauryan Empire because they are the true protector of subcontinent and bringers of glory unlike those who called themselves Hindutva who are literally fighting each other among castes and those who aren't the same faith as them
Delhi Sultanate and Mughals literally conquered Indians, don't know what glory you're talking about.
Do you think religious and communal conflict magically disappeared when India was ruled by empires? Social differences have existed on this subcontinent for millennia.
the delhi sultanate and mughal were Barbarian Invaders,I don't know what glory your talkin' about 😂
Ah yes larp as the barbaric nomads who instead of cultural exchanges straight up imposed their zealous faith and persecuted those who didn’t fall in line.
No thanks I’ll stay the “hindutva”path that is trying to save the last bastion of Hinduism on this planet.
@@GrigRPThat's directly calling us Turk descendant in India as not Indians.
We are pretty much Indian. We lived here & died here.
Then British monarch is German. No glory to British people.
Babur and the Mughals didn't "claim" to be descended from the Timurids, they *were* Timurids. Babur's direct male line descent from Timur isn't in dispute. Now, their claim to be descended from Ghengis Khan was a bit more shaky, but in the female line, they were likely descended from him via marriages between the Timurids and the Chagatai.
*Can We Get a historical Analysis on the Cushites peoples of the horn of Africa And the Ancient Somali cities on the coastline*
