Indian history gives way too much importance to Kings, Emperors, Queens and Warriors and politicians. No one learns about the ordinary men and women, peasants, merchants, poets, musicians, scholars or aristocrats. Ordinary people contribute just as much to history. We should be learning about life in cities and villages , evolution of laws and medicine, trade routes, cultural and religious movements, evolution of society and social evils and things that generally teach us moral lessons that will genuinely help us in the future. What is the point of learning about a King fighting a battle 1000 years ago ?
The sad thing is,not much is written abt the common folk of that age. Writers and saints emphasized only on the lifestyles of kings, the community was spared from the conversation. On the other hand,in the west writers wrote vividly of the community. We dont have any such accounts here :'
The point is how would anyone know that.
History writing by Indians had a new string of thought that came up in the 1980s, its known as Subaltern school of history. Its like a breath of fresh air, an attempt to look at history from the perspective of those who stood at the threshold of it but couldn't speak- common people.
Of course it has moved beyond the domains of history into sociology and all. But if you do get a chance to read about Subaltern history, or get a chance to read a book that has a subaltern perspective, please do. Such things exist it's just that people aren't aware about it. I am a history student and thus know about the existence of such a thought, but sadly such things aren't easily discoverable by the lay man
Hope this helps!
@@srijanabaruah756 Historians actually know quite a bit about common life in India, more so medieval than ancient though. For example, we know the the taxes levied by many different rulers. We know the prices of food and other items and how cheap they were during times of surplus and how expensive they were during times of famine. We know about how people were dressed and what they kept in their houses. We know about how large cities were and how they were planned and organised. We do know about the ancient and medieval internal trade like the Uttarapath and the Dakshinapath. We know how well India was connected in the Continental and Maritime Silk roads. We know about how the economy functioned. We know about social evils like sati, purdah etc. We know about the laws people had to abide to what punishments were for breaching them. We know Ayurvedic medicine evolved with its contact with the medicines of Persia Greece and Western Europe. We know about how daily life played out in the Wadas and Havelis. We know about the evolution of the Indian education systems like Gurukal. We have the auto biographies of saints, poets and musicians like Purandaradasa, Chaitanya, Tansen and Ghalib. We know about the Buddhist, Bhakti and Sufi movements around India. We have a lot of information already on the history of commoners in India and all this information can easily be found online and more is being learnt everyday. For example, historians generally did not know what the wooden Imperial palaces of Vijayanagara looked like; Wikipedia and other sources always talked about how this information was unknown. However, now we have digital reconstructions of the Imperial Audience Hall of Hampi and we know that it was a larger version of the Audience Hall of the Tipu Sultan Summer Palace in Bengaluru. India was as good as China, Europe or Persia when it came to recording history but we still know a lot but instead we choose to merely glorify the deeds of Kings and ignore the history of ordinary people
@@srijanabaruah756 Check websites and RUclips channels like the Odd Compass and Live History India. They are generally unbiased and look at a wide variety of topics that are not limited to Royalty and Warefare.
when she said 'her'story i had goosebumps!
Me too!!!
@SYNTELL nope feminist don't mean equality. It's means to convert a woman into a man and downgrade a man to empower women.
@ULTIMATE MGTOW ruk bhai. Ab lagta hai youtube me in Indian's ko jo Western bimari hai na wo ab kuch karna padega.
@SYNTELL bhai karni aur kathni me farq hai .bahut bada. aise to log bhi bolte hai mazhab nahi sikhata aapas me bair rakhna. but log karte hai na. chutiya mat bano
@SYNTELL you need to take a red pill to know the reality.
When life itself is all about balance. So the society simply has to fall under this idea. Men and women both are needed to be present in every field of life.
In the History Book of 10th NCERT the only time women were mentioned in the struggle of independence was in the following lines-"Gandhiji thought that it was the duty of the women to be good wives to their husbands and manage the housework, so women were not allowed to participate in marches and were not involved in making of the constitution".The women's side of the story was never mentioned.
By studying your schools books you don't even get to know 1% of the history, don't come to conclusions with that.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the amazing edit by Anahita Sachdev.
Yes, Ms. Anahita Sachdev has done a superb job that enhances the impact of interview many folds.
I remember having a small paragraph about Hansaben mehta and razia sultan in school history textbooks filled with male freedom fighters and their struggles in achieving independence, at that time I realised why was "history" book called so.
And given that Jhansi ki Raani and Razia Sultan were exceptional, still they only got a side mention. So that sounds sexist to me
Hey ignore the posts of ULTIMATE MGTOW. That person says the same thing repeatedly - no credibility
@@maha_sage but what if he has some walid points .do ignore that too
@@arshaq4200 If you read it once that's enough. Cause s/he says the exact same copy paste thing everywhere else. So then you may tend not to take it seriously.
@@maha_sage oh pls razia sultan ruled only for 4 yrs
So what was so exceptional
'Her'story
Finally someone's talking about something relevant in mainstream media,,, thank you!
Why is the video so short? Want to know more about the contribution of women in freedom struggle ....
By the way
Love the contents of this channel
Women didn't have much contribution in freedom struggle.
@@aquahorns8995 As much as the contribution of women in the freedom struggle is there, many of us would like to know everything about that piece, don't watch if you don't want to know
🙄
I guess they provide us with a starting point and we could move forward with our research. If their stories exist somewhere, the internet might help find libraries, books, authors and other sources that might help us expand our knowledge about the women in our country's struggle for freedom.
@@aquahorns8995nope, they had, but you either don't know or don't want others to know, so that you could prove men' s superiority. No one is superior or inferior.
Please make longer videos! Just this topic could be an entire series.
Please make a video on eminent women personality during 19th & 20th century who broke the prejudices of the society like Kadambini Ganguly,Chandramukhi Bose,Rokeya Shakawat Hossain,Leela Nag etc
You guys are doing great job!!!Keep it up👍
Thank you swaddle, for teaching me what 6yrs of history lessons didnt
I am just studying about this topic in my syllabus, WBBSE is my board. We have an entire chapter dedicated to women in the freedom fighting movement. So this video will be helpful when I have tp revise the chapter.
That chapter is in what language?
@@naziashamim8942 Bengali
I'm a new subscriber of your channel. And I love your content a lot. Highly appreciable. Keep going.
Same here
Learning about women's history, views, problems and thoughts is such a joy. This channel has given me an exposure to diverse matters, problems and topics that were unknown to me a few weeks ago. Great work The Swaddle!
Love this!! History is often told by those who hold power at any given time, and the descendants of those same people keep the power dynamic going. For us to uncover powerful women of the past, it’s imperative we identify and appreciate power held by women today coz nobody else is going to do the work
You guys are really amazing! Please uncover more of the topics that people don't usually know about. Keep going! 💕
Agree
This video could've been a bit more detailed. Maybe a follow up? With resources. This would be very helpful to know. Thanks!
Every day I learn something new
#BENGAL PRODUCED THE MAXIMUM MEN AND WOMEN... IN FREEDOM STRUGGLE... #BENGAL PRODUCED IN LAKHS...
yes... #bengal
Also Millions died in Bengal (famine)
Please do an informational series on women's contribution to Indian freedom movement. I was preparing an Independence day quiz for my office event and I realised we have so few well know women freedom fighters. And even fewer movies on them. Would be great if you can do a series on them. ♥️
Men glorified history about men, on books made for men.
In Heian Japan, Women weren't even allowed to write in the Kanji script, they were limited to only the Hiragana script.
Yes
More of this please!!
Your content is appreciable...keep going like this.
For years, Men suppressed women by limiting them to household works only and still some people raise this topic in debates saying that men fought war and did everything..etc and what did female do? Even after this, good to know that women have done so much. I already knew about razia sultan, laxmibai, savitribai phule etc.
Am so glad I found this channel
If possible can you please make a documentary on this or atleast share the articles.
This is so beautifully done! And important. Thank you!
Grateful and proud of women who have been fighting in the male constructed structure!
There were many women from Tamil Nadu too... like Anjali Ammal whom Gandhiji called as The Jhansi Rani of the South nd many more. Many Women from all over India had played a vital part in our freedom movement..thanks Swaddle for covering this topic..keep going🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wish Gandhi had given #Independence through non - volience..#Independence was given by #NetajiBose and #INA #Trails and #Naval Mutiny British PM Clement Attlee also said in1959 on 2day visit to #Bengal they left due to #Netaji #SubashChandraBose Gandhi contribution was"minimal"
It's a very informative channel. Worth subscribing.
Sunity Choudhury was a revolutionary hailing from Bengal only 14 she was even arrested for attempting to bomb a policr station. And like her there were many women who participated in militant revolutionary activities.
History is baised and dicounted women's effort not only in freedom struggle but all spheres of life. Without women we wouldn't be where we are today as a society. Would love a series on women's contribution to India.
Many thanks to the women who drafted the Indian constitution and clearly drawn line indicating what's right and whats wrong for women in our society. Today we are free because of them. Salute to real feminists.
History tells me to respect Raja Ram Mohan Roy.. for eradicating Sati-Pratha and also Savitribai Phule who pioneered education for women in India. Basically these people are responsible for freedom and empowerment of women in the true sense but ironically we don't get to hear a lot about them. All I can say because it's male dominated country , and women's history has always been sidelined.
Very informative. Thank you.
Love this series! 🖤
TO BE ALL THE THINGS WE ARE TAUGHT UNDER THE FORMAL EDUCATION IS NOT FEMENIST ENOUGH.
Wow!
Rajkumari Amrit Kaur too... A lady of great learning as well as progressive ideas
I was getting goosebumps all the way through the video.
Not all history is present in our history textbooks. Just saying because lot of people think that just because there are women who have been involved in India's history and are spoken about there aren’t women who we don't know were present back then.
Wait for a man to avenge your honour and you will wait forever .. !! 🤟 So happy to be a subscriber of this channel as the content you guys bring and create an impactful video out of it is really appreciable
..
You're right, women should fight for themselves instead of expecting men to do as they demand.
@@aquahorns8995 weren't you preaching about Humanitarianism in the other commentsection? Doesn't it mean to help eachother for the betterment of society (regardless of gender)? It seems like, you are contradicting yourself.
@@goldi1018 I don't know what comment you're referring to, but yeah, I do believe in just being good humans in a nutshell. And it's bold of you to assume that men aren't helping in the struggle. I just said that women, who're still waiting for someone to uplift them, should perhaps take matters in their own hands. Idk how you can decipher all those bad things about me from a single statement.
@@aquahorns8995 I didn't mean to offend you. I apologize, if you felt like that. But it's not just from a "single statement", I could conjecture some parts of your standpoint to the specific Topic, because your comments are everywhere here, in this commentsection of the video. But if one part of the society asks (not even demands) for help, for the betterment of the society and many of them refuse (its just an example-> no empericim here), doesn't it goes against Humanitarianism? Ofcource changes can be made alone, but it's much more exhausting and takes more time. It's just funny, if you stand for Humanitarianism and say "if you want change, do it yourself" ( which is partly justefied) and don't acknowledge the other side, which doesn't shows any emphaty or helpfulness towards the people, who ask for help.
And isn't it bold to assume, that I don't think many man are helping? Maybe meant: there is room for more people?
I also apologize for my grammatical errors🙏🏽.
@@goldi1018 I do acknowledge the "other side", of course I'm not saying that "Yeah whatever deal with your shit yourself", no. I guess that's the limitation of texting, instead of a live conversation, assumptions are made here unless someone agrees with you. You sound like a nice man.
Also, it's really subjective regarding "room for more people". If you're talking about the fight against rapes, foeticides, harassment, and other bad things, then I'm sure most would always be in the struggle, except for the accused himself/herself. But if it's about the 'struggles' of modern day third wave of feminism, this is where it gets really subjective. I can only give my example. I'm totally not in support of topics like 'body shaming' , wage gap, and a lot of other topics, which you can find on this channel or even buzzfeed. But if it's against catcalling, or somw other truly genuine reasons like females not getting sanitation in rural areas, that's something I stand with.
I loved this video
Great work team Swaddle❤️
I want to request to make a video about the lowly television shows demeaning women's!!! Especially saas bahu series !!! Thank you for this very informative video !! 😍❤ love your content
Thank you for such good content 💙

You should extend some of these interviews...it really helps you know.
Really informative video🔥
Doing a Great Job 👍
This is true @BJP4India have to do more & more for #Netaji #Bose the #Librator & #1st #PM of #Undivided #India on #21Oct1943 even British PM Clement Attlee claimed that they left #India due to #Netaji #Bose .. those Britishers won WW2 ..this was fear of #Netaji #Bose they felt..
Team swaddle should check that photo of women protesting at 1:04 that photo is from Dhaka 1952 during bengali language movement in then East Pakistan.
You forgot Savitribai Phule.
Empowered women empower women...
Wow
Wowwwwmen Struggle!! Never Thought About It!
That is so inspiring.
They were more feminist and true to there services than today
I feel sad bcz the video was too short.... Really we can't skip the name of Jansi Rani Lakshmi Bai by just saying that .We are not giving her any value i think."The most dangerous was Rani in 1857 war " the then British Army commander Huge Rose said.but our 'history ' textbook doesn't talk much abt 'her'.#discoverherstory
She is given value, but not as much, because the revolt failed, indian was ruled for another 100 years.
Hi team, you guys are doing really a great job, it was the duty of our government to teach all these thing to people of India and spread it everywhere. But anyways.....
Please keep make these videos and aware everyone about all those topics you put up in all your videos. 🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏
our history knowledge is mostly delhi based.no one knows who struggled in their own state,be it men or women fighters,like down south velu nachiar,vaoc etc.i accept women's struggles are hidden.
#Netaji was there in 1964 "Shastriji"knew it he returned #India lived till 1985 "RSS" head acknowledge that time & his "Samadhi" is there in "Ayodhaya" as "Bhagwan ji"indeed #Netaji was #1st #Prime #Minister of #Undivided #India (India+Pakistan+Bangladesh)on #21Oct1943.
Are you on drugs or something? Calm down
Informative 👍
They were Feminists and we're going to go their way!
Love this channel...Y'all making great content but can u guys make vedios lil longer
But ya women had contributed in freedom of India this needs to addressed and this is the only video on your RUclips channel that I agree with
Yeah , why Women feel ashamed of the act or any humilation done by Men ?
No doubt Women contribution in any field is not given that much of attention in compare to Men. However that mindset is changing but with very slow pace.
Yes it is empowering
Wish #Netaji #Bose would be there for Us #1st #Prime #Minister of #Undivided #India on #21October1943..#Billion #Indians want #Netaji pic on #Currency.🙏.
Why this channel is so underrated??
a good topic for a future video would be : Everything that is wrong with Indian Soaps / TV Serials.
This! I have been reading history from some time, and now I understand why men seem to gloat over the fact their contribution is much higher in scale towards the progress of humanity. I do not belittle anyone's contribution, but I also feel the necessity to include more female role models.
Girls shouldn't have to struggle to find good role models in their textbooks. And for this, we need to revise the textbooks and include more women.
Why can't girls have males as role models?
@@aquahorns8995 It is easier to relate with other females.
Why this was not in my 8th standard history book? Each standard has at least one chapter on Mahatma Gandhi but nothing like this was written there.
Wow. Never been this early lol
Lol I'm first
History isn't about the rulers and the powerful one's and even amidst this women never got the deserved representation in history this is not only disturbing but raises the question that should we consider the history we are studying now as legitimate original complete history? It's high time we perceive history more than just years and wars and names of kings. History has a lot to teach us if written and perceived in the right way.
History isn't meant to 'teach' you something. History simply tells you what happened in the past, and you draw your own conclusions and learn from that. India's history is harsh.
@@aquahorns8995 Well I am sorry I disagree with that History can teach us a lot of things to lead the society in a better way condition being you have to study it in the right way which certainly contemporary education system never did.
Is sad to see That most of the comments are from women...
#Netaji #Bose was #God figure🙏
For #United #India true #God #Father given #Freedom on #21Oct1943 & indeed #1st #Prime #Minister of #Undivided #India & will always remain in our hearts forever.British left bcz #INA #Trails.#Billion #Indians want #Netaji photo on #Indian #Currency

21Oct &23Jan Bose Jayanti
What about child Khudiram (14 years) hanged by the British & children slaughtered in Jalianwala Bagh Massacre, 13-year-old Rani Gaidinliu of Zeliangrong tribe who at age 16, was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland ? Who will acknowledge and document these tenderfoot soldiers of our freedom struggle? Alas, history should never be man or woman made but chronicled by conscious citizens.

There is hardly any mention of women in our history books in school
Because the number of these women is quite less.
@@aquahorns8995 But still the part they played is significant and should not be discredited because they were less in number.
@@akankshakumari3291 Agreed.
@ULTIMATE MGTOW
1. I never said it was completely omitted. I said 'hardly' which meant there was some part of them mentioned in school books.
2. You gave your example of school text books but syllabus throughout India isn't same because the only women I have heard of are Rani Laxmi Bai and Razia sultan (fun fact- both of their paragraphs combined will not even make it into whole page)
3. You said I'm giving misinformation but all I did was to say what I've read
4. You called me a feminist. More appropriately you assumed me to be one! Which I'm not. The things I believe in, I don't think so can be categorised in a term.
0:12 Aunty misspelled Manikarnika Tambe as Jhansi ki Rani. Aunty doesn't even know the real name of the queen. She was never portrayed as male. Rani is portrayed as carrying her child to battle. I challenge everyone name me one male warrior who carried his child in battle.
First
Plz make video on halala triple talaq and burkha..want to know about their history
Shame on Nehru so called Chacha (uncle ) Nehru by only destroyer of #India Congress government now time change Common man knows it was #Netaji #Bose who #librated of #Billion #Indians & #1st #Prime #Minister of #Undivided #India (INDIA+PAKISTAN+BANGLADESH) on #21Oct1943 #Netaji

Itihas hmesha sabal ka likha jata h.. irony
But we shouldn't quote Gandhi on this. He disrespected and objectified women. So please stop glorifying him. He has committed crimes against our gender.
he was the one who started "non co operation movement" which worked as the golden path of independence ..
so many people disrespect gandhiji and spread fake lies about him.
this is so disrespectful and ignorant.
@@joeyballinger4077 yes we all know the good he did. The bad is very dark. But because he was politically powerful, he could not be stopped. In case you think I'm on the other side of the political spectrum and that's why saying this then you are wrong. So read about his perverse practices. I was also hurt when I discovered it.
Stop this now look forward and we are man's looking women equal to us need add some rules in law and want to change minds of stupid people ( but i only has problem of those people doing crime and some women's and men's doing crime and spreading nudity)
