It's not a coincidence...you were possibly reading about Panchtantra on Google, and it must have stored your browsing content and recommended content on RUclips based on that, as you know RUclips is owned by Google.
Panchathantra is a great storybook ! One of the oldest fable stories in the world. Wiki says : The Panchatantra "Five Treatises") is an ancient Indian collection of interrelated animal fables in Sanskrit verse and prose, arranged within a frame story. The surviving work is dated to about 200 BCE, but the fables are likely much more ancient. The text's author is unknown, but it has been attributed to Vishnu Sharma in some recensions and Vasubhaga in others, both of which may be fictitious pen names. It is based on older oral traditions with "animal fables that are as old as we are able to imagine". It was translated to Persian and Syriac as early as 55 CE!

One question- why didn't Indians maintain historical accounts like the Chinese? India is as old as China, perhaps even more. How come they have such detailed accounts of their history of all periods and we don't?
Probably the answer is Indians maintained history in documents like Chinese and Greeks for example Kalhan I'm 11th century wrote a book Rajatrangangi on Indian history and many other historical events were documented like the Muryan empire's lagecy was even remembed in Gupta period in Gupta period a text was written Mudrarakshas based on the story of Chandragupta Muryan So history was well documented but due to invasions 99% text and documents wiped out
Indians maintained historical documents but the writing style is quite different. Mostly every writer of ancient India woven the real history with philosophical teachings. The best example of this is Mudrarakshasha. But the problem is we are taught to adapt the British way of thinking.
If you want to pursue researching history and use it for your channel, consider using BCE, CE & BP for timeline like serious people do. I'm going to lose my mind if i ever hear anyone say "issa purva" one more time!
4:20 Obviously being a JNU history student, you had to use "subcontinent" to refer to Bharat.😂😂 Even all the history textbooks of NCERT, which are mostly written by JNU historians, use the word "subcontinent" to refer to the geography of Bharat. This is based on the idea that Bharat or India as a country came to existence in 1947 a product of British colonialism and there wasn't such thing as an Indian civilization, it's just a modern imposing of nationalist sentiments onto the past. That's why the word "subcontinent" which is used in Indian historical texts instead of "country" reflects that kind of objectivity or detachment from any sentimental association one might have when talking about India's past, a "subcontinent" is a mere geographical region without a unified culture in that sense, which actually Bharat was, and not a civilisational entity, according to JNU historians.
you bhakts keep reading the same thing in facebook groups or some blogs, and keep getting offended by everything. the vedic sankalpa ritual literally has "Jambudvipe Bharatakhande Aryavartantargatabrahmavartasya or equivalent". And no, this was not imposed by some "leftist historian", no matter how much mental gymnastics you add or just lie. bharat in rigveda was just a tribe between ravi and beas river and was one of the 50 tribes of aryavarta, aka Kuru. Kuru was bharata. Mauryans used "Jambudvipa" in their inscription, not bharata. Kharavela used bharatvarsha as an entity. " And in the tenth year (he), following (the threefold policy) of chastisement, alliance and conciliation sends out an expedition against Bharatavasa (and) brings about the conquest of the land (or, country) (... lost ...) and obtains jewels and precious things of the (kings) attacked." only in the 2nd century CE, Vayu Puran did the definition of "bharata" expand. you illeterate sanghis read up strange things and attack other people calling them "anti-national". you use crude language and ask everyone to eat up your fantasies. this is not "your country".

Curry was made in all parts of India going back to Indus valley civilization, so i don't think anyone can reach a conclusion who invented it first. Btw, its derived from the Tamil word kaṟi.
Curry came from the Tamil word karrii..why means burnt, black, fry, or boil. King Karikaalan (Burnt leg), Marrakarri (Vegetarian dish) are some of the words where the work Kari is used in context. Cloves, Curry leaves( karuvepla-black neem), Cinnamon, Turmeric, Pepper was grown and native to.
