  • We often wonder about the origins of the word Bharat (भारत).
    The earliest traceable origin of the word goes back to Rigveda, to be more precise, to the epochal Dāśarājña war? In the war, a king named Sudās from the Bharata (भरत) clan emerged victorious.
    Dāśarājña war is the earliest recorded war in Indian history, and its memories are found in various mandalas of Rigveda.
    On the occasion of the 75th Independence day of India, we bring you one of the very first public talks on the Dāśarājña war, which is delivered by Dr. Mugdha Gadgil

    Dear ma, I'm from Malaysia and have just found your channel. I am proud that you are also one of the many Hindus who are involved in enlightening Hindus like me about Bharat and its history. I wish you many success and hope there will be more enlightened souls like me in Bharat as well as throughout the world. We need to re-write Bharat's history books so that children from a young age will know how great a civilization Bharat was. Thank you and god bless all who have contributed towards this video.

      Why are you in Malaysia. You should come back to India. Tis is typical NRI fraud. They stay where the money is. Incidentally why should we re write ? Good historians have been working on this project. Who have you read. Please dont try to turn India into a Malaysia where religion rules. India is a secular democracy. Be a Hindu in your temple and try and get rid of the caste system. Dont bring fake pride into this. What this short presentation tells us was that there were lots of wars, killing and full of violence by local chieftains as they tried to control an collect taxes. How is that a great civilization ? Get a real life.

The first temples in India are in the 3rd and 4th century AD. The rig vedic period was all about Yagna. Please do deep reading if you want to be proud of a very rich and complex tradition. If you want to be serious then learn about your roots as an intellectual not as a fanatic. If you dont want to be a Hindu Taliban then take the time and make the effort to read good histories. My humble advice, there is a lot to feel proud and connected to about India but the true India is available to the scholar and the student not to a fanatic and someone who has no intention to learn. Dont turn something beautiful and revealing into mud on which you wish to grow hate.

There were fighting over territory and hunting rights. And trying to dominate people. Ky yaar. Make sense of your life. Thanks to babasaheb Ambedkar's constitution India is now civilized. We have become citizens within a political boundary. Kingdoms and empires only have frontiers, the king controls his subjects. Women have no equal rights and there is usual loot every post monsoon season. Is this the nation of ancient India. I think not. Dont be religious when it come to history.

      Our concept of nation is Raastra, a civilisation, where there are different people who speak different languages but are binded by civilisational values like cyclical birth moral code of dharma etc, so even though there were different kings ruling small Rajyas but the rastra was one and still is one but the Western concept of the nation-state, which all modern nations follow is based on the revisionist idea of one ethnicity, one language one state idea.

    Dr. Mugdha Gadgil mam, very interesting and informative talk on Dashragna war. Dashragna war is a historical event recorded in Rigved. Hitherto, Rigved was considered as religious text of Indians. But Dashragna war proves antiquity and historicity of Rigved and other vedic texts. My take on Dashragna war is -
    1. When vedas were compiled by maharshi Vyas, he could get only few ritchas and references, it proves that war had taken place in antiquity that it had faded from public memory (from shruti, smruti, puran and etitas इतिहास).
    2. From the names of ancient tribes and clans it can be said that war had taken place in pre vedic era. And it proves that Indra and Varuna are not vedic gods, but they existed in pre Vedic era, too. (Prevedic gods are Mitr, Pushan, Bhag and Varun. Indra was getting promience in that era as a god of war).
    3. If you see story of king Yayati in puranas, it said he had five sons, Puru, Yadu, Druhu, Turvasu and Anu. King Yayati gave his kingdom to Puru. These are nothing but five ancient clans existed in pre vedic era.
    4. Though king Sudas is from Bharat clan, king Bharat himself is from Puru clan/tribe. So king Sudas is a Puru-Bharat king.
    5. Dashragna war took place in two stages on bank of Parushni and on banks of Yamuna.
    6. There is no evidence to consider that it was war of priests. Before Vishwamitr, Bharadwaj was guru of king Sudas. When Vishwamitr was removed and Vasisth became guru of Sudas, Vishwamitr accepted it (his sacking) and did nothing against bharat king, Sudas.
    6. Gurus were advisors to king in all affairs including war. There is a mention of flood in Parushni and drowning of enemy (albeit by prayers to Indra). Here it is interesting to note that Purashni, Shatadru and all rivers in Punjab are high flowing rivere. And to divert their waters for irrigation stone bunds or check dams are created on river bank to obstruct flowing water. This obstructed water is taken through canals, these bunds are called as Pur( and Indra is Purandar). Under Vasistha's guidance these check dams were broken by Sudas, creating artificial flood and drowning of enemy.
    7. Vedic India spread from present Hariyana to Afghanistan, Persia, Parthia, present Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Caspian sea to Anatolia (* research by Shrikant Talger on linguistics of Rigved and Avesta).
    These were just few points.
    Thank you very much for your lecture on Dashragna war. 🙏🙏

      Thus even today if any Hindu Kshathriya Brahmins of Kaasyapa, Aathreya, Vaiswamithra and Aangeerasa Race perform the same *"Sarvaprushtakhya Yishti"*, with the help of Bhrugu Vamsa Vipras of Bhargava Pravara Races;

Vishwamitra plans a big yagya to send forth Trishanku to heaven in his earthly body, but knowing his intention, Indra does not attend the yagya even though he's invoked and offered havis. The ashwini brothers tell Vishwamitra that Indra has given a boon that he will only appear to receive his havis if Vasishta invokes him, So Jamadagni and Vishwamitra decide to bring in Shakti, son of Vasishta to the yagya, as technically he's also a Vashista. In the process SHakti dies and fearing that his yagya will be incomplete, Vishwamitra decides to send forth Trishanku to heaven without Indra's permission, but as we all know he's pushed down from the heavens and Vishwamitra enraged, proclaims 'anya Indra Karishyami', 'I will create another Indra', in this mayhem, out of fear of consequences it is said that Indra appeared and it was decided that Trishanku will live in his own loka ruling it, just like Indra.

      The Wise can conclude easily the Sudhras of Vasishtha Race Became Brahmins and Kshathriyas themselves by producing Chandala and Kshath Jathi Prathiloma by Royal Queens and all other Brahmin women and Destroyed the Purity of Varna Asrama Dharma and Developed the Adharmik Kaliyuga of Sudhras.
      This was the Fact.
      But all the 18 Puranas, Maha Bharatham and Modern Vedhas of Dhwapara Yuga end time, was Compiled by Vedha Vyasa of The Vasishtta Vamsa itself.
      Thus no one can trace out the Evil Unrighteous Adharmic Works of that Sudhra Varna without the Help of Manu Smruthi 3:197,198.
      Lord God Almighty knows everything about these Truth facts and He Finally going to Punish Each and every one of those Culprits at the Final Battle Field of Kalki Deva of Kasyapa Pravara according to Bhavishya Puranam verses.
      So let us try to keep Quite and Eagerly Await for that Final Battle hereafter with Righteous Wise Prayers.

    10 main tribes with Viswamitra, against Vashishtha and King Sudas. It’s a battle between Vashistha and Vishwamitra.
    They say Vashistha defeated Viswamitra’s army by destroying a dam on Ravi river which causes flood and considerable damage to his army. They say Vashistha invoked Indra and Indra might have caused the thunder and the lightning which eventually destroyed the dam on Ravi river and caused flood.

      Yes. We are thankful to Dr Ambedkar for constitution or else people want full Sharia law like they still have for civil cases. Luckily Vedas were never as rule of book like others. There is student teacher relationship, metaphysics, philosophy of life, inner discovery of oneself, that we should be grateful to nature for giving us everything, universal well being even to those who are not known and another faith unlike two major Abrahamic religions that say non believers will burn in hell.
      Maybe you are confused with Puranas that have more stories of war, etc.

    Our education system must required to include Vedas, Upanishads, Purana, kabya granthas and old indian motivational Sanskrit Tamil Pali literatures to students to allow them know the Realistic History of India, not the translated version of Westerners or the antinational Communist's or Nehru,s version of controversial confusing historical stories and event of the by gone era.

    Great explanation . But why doesn’t this video attempt to discuss timeline at all? Is it because we simply have no info about it or it’s wasn’t considered important enough to be included in the video? Thanks.

      One of the tribe was related to Alexander by RN Dandekar, as the speaker says. The timeline is thus inferred by RND.
      But the whole of AIT is highly debatable. Vartak and Nilesh Oak team's efforts (to deduce timeline from astronomical references on the text) are noteworthy.

    Dr Mugdha Gadgil, congratulations on a good presentation. Would have liked to see more references to interpretations by Indian scholars rather than western ones. The latter are known to be biased by the Bible, etc.
    Now, what if the reference to matsyas was to a coastal tribe? To the horse people was to Arabs? Why should we imagine that the reference was only to head gear, just because some western scholar couldn't imagine a war over larger geographical area? 🤔
    Further, since last few years, I have been toying with the idea that the people who were defeated in this war were ancestors of or were actually the early zoarashtrians, because Zarathustra told his people NOT to worship Indra and Rudra and some other vedic gods. Were they angry that their prayers were not heard by these Gods? 🤔

      The Purus are said to have moved immediately westward to form Persia which is where Zarathustra established the new monotheistic religion called Zoroastrian, but that came much later.
      Apparently they lost their ancient scriptures which may well be the result of the Dasharajna war! The war for Vedas in the Samudra Manthan? This may have something to do with the Gurus Vasishtha and Vishwamitra who were possibly the repositors of the Vedic knowledge, and with Vishwamitra moving back to Bharata the Purus lost twice!
      Zarathustra eventually compiled the Zend Avesta (comes from Aveda/Avaida with the 's' being added in this case) with the scriptures that had remained in their collective memory. They do share a few similarities with Vedic rituals (like fire worship or Yagya and mantras) and possibly diverted deliberately from the Vedic beliefs resulting in one god Ahura Mazda with what we know in India as Dvaita school of philosophy. Ahura in Vedic culture is an Asura while the consider Devas as the evil ones, probably the Vedic gods you've mentioned.

      While that's a definitely interesting thought it's not possible for arabs or let alone Greeks at this point to partake in a war in Indian subcontinent. We can make mild allusions to Scythians who were expert horse riders but they too lived quite north away.
