- Exploring Indian Civilization by Michel Danino,IIT Kanpur
1. Archaeologists, archaeometallurgists and palaeobotanists, among others, have quietly but radically altered our understanding of the beginnings of India’s classical civilization.
An eye opener .....specially to a student who has been taught wrong things at school......these guys need to write our school books...period
Proud of our heritage & civilization! joi hind. thank you Sir
Great India, The mother of all civilizations.

Ganges valley is the most densely populated region, most sites might be lost
@May ur exactly
I have got addicted to your talks, and to your field of study.. haha!
Me too, i am addicted to Indian history. I started with Nehru's 58 videos introductory history of India which took me 2.5 months to watch and has many beautiful songs and stories, after that I watched individual lecturers. Now i know many Indian names of kings, saints, sultans, and what happened in India in modern times. I am not indian. People from my country know almost nothing about India. I think India is the core of human civilization because all non primitive humans who left Africa had to pass through India.
Interesting mix of french english accent and Hindu english accent from the lecturer which tells me this man is French but has stayed in India for extended periods of time.
He is a Padmshri and India citizen, he used to be French citizen
Hyderabad university campus excavation finds iron artefacts much older than gangetic planes.Sinouli (gaga planes) excavations are also interesting.
Excellent
Les études de mR Danino sont d’une richesse,innouie,,radicales,prenant en compte tous les détails qui semblent infimes,mais ont une importance capitale,Vu que Méduse a plusieurs têtes,il faut déjà les trouver,pour pouvoir la supprimer.C’est une longue. Lutte.ce ne peut être qu’une recherche de groupes motivés.multidisciplinaires.La volonté de puissance peut se lover partout.merci de cet éclairage.je fais cela depuis 40 ans,en amateur éclairé,mais cela n’est pas suffisant,car les idées viennent des groupes,en groupes,,
Beautiful history and such antiquity
The city of Troy was only 30 hectares. Compared to that if this is 40 acres, it is still bigger than the city of Troy.
Hectare is much more than acre. Please check
@@easwaransanthakumar297 he made a mistake but the fact remains. Its 40 Hectares. So its larger than Troy, a later era city in Europe.
At 20:20, Professor Danino talks about the links between India and Americas in the 2nd millenium BC. This is very sensational. I was not aware about this.
Great slap to AIT/AMT theorists and the communists.
It's difficult to find archaeological evidences in the Ganges valley because of the alluvial content of the soil
Everyone talks about river Saraswati, but has anyone given thought as to how the river got its name Saraswati or Sarasvati?
As a person of Indian origin, I have been very curious as to the location and origin of the Saraswati river, as well as the etymology of the word Saraswati. In Goa, there is a belief that the Goan Konkani Brahmins (Hindus and Catholic converts alike) are actually descendants of the migrants that lived in the Saraswati area and moved south and east once the river dried up. Recent DNA research suggests that there might be some element of truth to this hypothesis. What has intrigued me most is the etymology of the word Saraswati and based on my understanding of how names are given to a lot of places in Goa -- many a times it is based on activity or notable events in the area. For example, there is a place in Goa called Bhagbhat in Salcette taluka (my ancestors came from this place). Now I know that this place was named as Bhagbhat because the land was frequented by tigers in the area that roamed from the Western Ghats -- in Hindi the word "Bhag" stands for tiger, so the name for the place is consistent with what my ancestors or people knew about the location. I am sure you can think of similar examples with respect to your towns.
My hypothesis on the etymology of the word Saraswati is that it is derived from the original path or way through which charas (concentrate of ganja) was transported in the region through the river in that area (river navigation is faster in the mountain regions). The word "vat" in Konkani (language derived from Sanskrit) means "way" or "route" and "vati" stands for "through this way". Now, given that charas trade was likely transported via the river, it is possible that my ancestors (and of others), named the river as "Charas vati" - to represent the route through which charas was being transported. Remember, this is the region where opium and ganja was grown abundantly and traded. The Silk Road is part of this region. As time went by, the "Cha" got softened to "Sa", and the word Sarasvati or Saraswati survived to the present. I am not a linguistic expert -- the experts can dwell on this further.
That goes for many languages which have origins in the indo european languages
Great lecture...👏👏👏
great professor ,you are sir..
no warfare, invasion or colonisation can justify development in ancient or medivial India
Final conclusion seems to be very narrow. We still dont have evidence from souther part of India or from Deccan.
really ? have you seen the temples of south india and their layout ?
Just respect each others civilization after all we all are indians
Mastodons definitely did live in the Americas.
Kurmi,Koeri,Ahir,Dusadh wake up man ! you are the original people of Gangetic Valley ! This is your civilization. You are not Aryan, Dravidian or Austro-asiatic. You had your own civilisation,Language and Culture. Embrace it !
Ok 😢
Kurmi , Ahir are not specific to Gangetic valley, mere casteist unmaadi bhai ...
Kurmi are spread throughout MP rajasthan, Gujrat(Patel) , Maharshtra( Patil) .
Similarly Ahir are also more spread throughout, Apart from Gujrat Dwaraka where SriKrishna ruled , and in Maharashtra they are known as Jadhav. They were in Andhra , they were from ruling family of Mysore as well .
If these caste belong to Gangetic plane , then other caste from rest of India will also wake up and ask these people to go back to Ganges ..
As same happens though to some extent now already, when caste obsessed politican have ruined Up and Bihar , and these ahir kurmi go to Maharshtra Tamil Nadu and Karnataka for job . And how they got treated is known to everyone.
And also, region around Ganges have been ruled by Ishvaku since time immemorial, if you are going to tag only few caste to be native of that region you are making a fools mistaken.
These Ishvaku rulers were future Gautam Buddha and Mahavira Jain along with pleothra of Hindu rulers .
Heck, Bhagirathi one of Ishavaku king is fabled to have bring Ganga to Northern planes as well . No doubt, these Ishvaku kings were respected and Upanishad and philosophy was discussed in these kings court.
You have good message about embracing cultivation though, which i liked a lot. But would you suggest a Ahir in Maharshtra to speak Brij or Awadhi or Kurmi Patel from Gujrat to speak Bagheli or Bundeli.
Your statement seems exclusionary and reek of same Ambedkarite propaganda though .. else i don't have any issue with people taking pride in their culture
Ashoka was never there. These edicts are of Vikramaditya.
how do you know sanch Sanchayan????????
महासय अपने चस्मे बदले आर्य बहार से आये थे ये बात कब की गलत साबीत हो चुकी है।।

Vous devriez prononcez buddha comme boudin pour faire rire.
What nonsense, Aryans brought Vedic culture to India. Wake up, you have been dreaming all your life...
Girish Rawat what is your point?
Please Google earliest Neolithic site in the world, proto city, proto language & deeply research so you can easily understand Aryan came from Middle Asia It is very true. They are not destroy all indian native culture they are mixed with indian culture but some new culture definately by Aryan.
@@asifanwar2391 the word aryan itself is Indian.
@@asifanwar2391 we don't need lecture on what happened in 2-3rd millenium bc from people who came only 1400yrs ago on flat earth.
Surely, Aryan coming from Outside is nonsense . Great, you got waked up
