- How is symbolism seen in the Harappan civilisation? Is it divided in the base of mythology, art or the use of symbols as power and resource? A new book ‘Ahimsa: 100 Reflections on the Harappan Civilization', a HarperCollins publication, authored by Devdutt Pattanaik, answers these questions.

Devdutt time travelled to Harappan times, spoke in their language, invented Pashupati seal, sculptured Harappan bronze lady and came back in 2024, deciphered Harappan language to tell that they were capitalists and not Marxists to the disappointment of Comrade Brinda Karat 😂
Yep. He is one of the pseudo intellectuals and tries to promote his myths as facts.
L w ing journalism and L w ing history are similar in methods - the ends justify the story-making. The bravado of truth-certainty in both is staggering - they simply know that they are right. However, satyameva jayate!
Narrative peddler, nonsense, no society or civilization of that size can survive like that
Exactly. Such an idiot
One wonders if the sweat on Shri Patnaik's brow mirrors the strain of masking the cognitive dissonance. Or may be the ac was not working?
He just makes up things.
He is a mythologist bro…take a chill pill
@@श्रीयोगेशचंद्र so? He can say whatever nonsense without any review or debate?
To those who don't know Harappa is in modern day Pakistan in Sindh. A lot of the things Devdutt says is absolutely rubbish with no scientific basis.
Yes he talks rubbish.
My boy here wrote a whole book ,despite being a archaeologist, on set of people whose script is not deciphered yet,copying storytelling par from Yuval Noah Harari
This is awesome
The harappan we’re fish eating Brahmins this is also a dancing girl for rich Brahmins this girl talks nonsense
India, the name was coined during the bronze age, which was derived directly from the name of the western border river, Sindu or as the Persians called, Indu. The people were known as Meluhha. The Sindu river origin is in the vicinity of Lake Mansarovar.
I would guess mythology will be the last thing to be decoded from a civilization as most of it is lost with the people. But this guy is trying totally opposite. It's like decoding Vaishnavism from Rs.1 coin 2000 years from now.
This woman got a chariot in Sanauli but did not find horses to drive it in the pictures displayed. She is trying very hard to somehow get horses for her chariot so that she can give them water from Saraswati. 😂
I am listening to him since long time ( he is of course a good storyteller) but what I feel or observed that he makes things up on the spot and create a story for the crowed and when someone question him he would reply it is my truth it's my story .... N ram of the Hindu asks some question to him and his reply would make you laugh but it of course baffled N Ram...many times I have observed him defending brammins action very clearly and That is how I feel many times!! Take him with pinch of salt.
Appreciate the new angle of thinking.
"He just makes up things.
No, I think he got the best narrative ever ..
In Tamizh Samana Tantra Aaseevagam tradition a society is categorized into four
Producers- farmers
Merchants
Rulers
Anthanar- philosopher/saint
This was maliciously twisted for the Brahminism later as caste hierarchy... But originally it was a good Tamizh Samana ethos where wisdom(Anthanam) alone will lead a society
Ahimsa Paramo Dharma ✋
bs
what does this mean??
@@raghulsrhv915bullshit
BS is short for bullshit
Extremely enriching lecture.
What is Hinduism?
+++++++++++++++
I have long pondered on what constitutes this so called religion that is sitting on the head of my Tamizh people and have come up with some conclusions ....
The priest from the Zoroastrian religion came to india with their Avestan language and fire rituals and later created some slogans in old Sanskrit to form the Vedas which was never written down.
These priest learnt the principles of the Samana tradition that originated in the southern part of the sub continent namely in the Tamizh tradition and started incorporating it into their already existent vaiteegam rituals and produced the Upanishads and became vegetarians.
For a solid philosophical footing which they needed in a highly philosophical Tamizh infused land about the 8th century Adi Sankara came up with Advaita logic that distorted the original Buddhist thoughts and produced a dichotomical nonsense which did not last the test of time.
Later they took up the Tantric Samana Tamizh tradition and put forth the bakti religiosity. This they took also from the Christian tradition and desperately created for the Islamic onslaught. Bakti was based on erotism and appealed to the masses. The high Samana tantric philosophical basis was ruined for the newly conjectured 'Hindu' religion of the wretched puranic tales.
This is the history of the Priestly class(Brahmins) that still retain their priesthood in the agamic temples that held sway through the bakti movement from the 10th century onwards. The consecutive non-Tamizh rulers firmly rooted the new found 'Hindu' religion with its caste system( the four varnas) that the British gave the final seal to....
