@@318_ronitsingh7 I am not giving him chance to add them, haha. I add them on my own and if you are thinking why isn't he adding them in the description before the start of the session, the reason might be two-fold 1. It takes away the curiosity element, people already know what the questions are. 2. Correlated to this is, some might directly leave the session if they don't see their questions posted in the description, thereby reducing viewership. Sir might not take a specific question of someone, but he takes a question on which there's a good amount of space to speak so that our cumulative knowledge increases. So timestamps before the session won't serve any purpose. Anyway, even if he puts the questions in the description, the sessions being live, he can't put timestamps before the session for obvious reasons!! And mind you, he did put timestamps in the first 8 videos of #AskAbhijit show himself the very next day. So if I don't put time stamps, he'd obviously do it himself because he cares about us. He doesn't need to, timestamps are not compulsory. You might argue he puts it to increase viewership, but if you have some sense of judging people, you would know, Sir is doing all this because of his love for educating us and not for becoming a RUclipsr. Becoming a bigger channel and getting traction is just an aftereffect of these efforts, but the prime goal of Abhijit Chavda is to educate us, make us see the reality of our own country, learn from it and become a better and well-educated citizen of this country. And, I add them anyway, why will he add them?😀
In Valmiki Ramayana , it is written that Mata Sita wanted that golden Dear as a pet , that is why Lord Ram didn't shoot when he saw first and chased the dear . Thanks for the session Vedas are oldest Then comes Upvedas Then Upnishad explaining some special verses in Vedas and Upvedas Then come Purans in which those verses are explained in forms of stories . Ramayana and Mahabharata are itihas( history )
Exactly. Hinduism never propounds meat eating. Lord Rama was not a meat eater and as you've mentioned, in Arnaya kand, chapter 43, slokas 16,17 clearly speaks of the intentions of Mother Sita as to why she wanted that deer. It was to have it as a pet as its enchanting beauty would adorn the palace of Ayodhya after exile. Also in Ayodhya kand, before leaving for exile, Lord Rama promised Kaushalya mata that no matter how dire the circumstances might be in the forest, he would never ever take meat. Apart from this one question, the rest of the discussion was very interesting and thing provoking.
4:37 bro you are awesome 6:20 he didnt prevent violence even then. Gandhi was India's biggest blunder 55:47 shree krishna says the same, morality is to be shown only to people with morals
@@arkadhar8446 jinnah just don't want the partition many supported him, But in thier brains everyone knew divison based on religion would create a divide between the religious groups and remain as a threat for a long time
*50:42** A correction here... There are plenty of mentions of Homosexuality and other sexual orientations and gender identities* (bisexuals, intersex, transgenders, etc.) *in Ancient Indian literature, probably more than any other nation's scholarly literature of the time.* In fact, 'Homosexual acts' find a direct or indirect mention in all the ancient cultures like Greece, Rome, and China, but mostly in extremely negative and criminal forms like pedophilia or sexual abuse. _The only ancient culture where 'true homosexuals' were not just recognised and acknowledged as a group of people, but also accepted as normal human beings was India._ *Indian texts on biology and medical sciences (both Charaka and Sushruta Samhita) mention more than 12 types of 'third gender'* (the Sanskrit term used there is 'Tritiya Prakriti') *sexualities* and mention how it is natural and by birth (something which even many modern people try to deny, although scientifically proven). Apart from Ayurveda, other texts which discuss these sexualities in enormous detail, is *Narada Smriti.* In these texts, gays are referred to as _'Kliba',_ lesbians as _'Svairini',_ intersex as _'Dviretas'..._ (the list is long). But homosexuals, their lifestyle, conditions, love and relationships are discussed in most detail in the Kamasutra, which also talks about *'gay marriage',* an idea which sounds too liberal even for our age. Here is the relevant quote: *_"There are also homosexual citizens, sometimes greatly attached to one another and with complete faith in one another, who get married together."_** - Kama Sutra 2.9.36* To the above verse the traditional commentary on Kamasutra called _'Jayamangala'_ by _Yashodhara_ states: _"Citizens with this kind of homosexual inclination, who renounce women and can do without them willingly because they love one another, get married together, bound by a deep and trusting friendship."_ _There are many other references._
#AskAbhijit Sir I would recommend you and everyone whether they like history or not to check PraveenMohan channel on RUclips. He has thrown light on very very amazing archaeological evidences by himself going to those sites. And some social media including RUclips are trying to remove his videos and threatening to ban him. Just check his mind blowing discoveries which actually none of us know. Example- How the ancient temples were built so marvellously, there are evidences of the people actually having advanced technology back then!
Let’s not forget that - Britishers took over the reigns of our country after Turkic rule , which was anti- science , anti- technology. So we tend to believe that Britishers modernized us, whereas we went thousands of years backwards after these two colonizations. - Secondly, I read somewhere that the colonized world never had malaria. It came from Spain and other European nations who used to dig lands for rail tracks and leave them open. When the rain water used to get collected there , it bred mosquitos. And this introduced diseases like malaria, cholera etc in these nations.
Gave up the UN permanent member seat and gave it to China 🙏Dint use the airforce in 1962 war when China had no good airforce he asked US for help rather than using IAF 😂Then lost the aksai chin nehru worsts president he didn't see the future he created most of our problems with China 🙄
I have no words to express how much you contribute to this generation; your such sessions are true eye-openers. Kudos and love to you sir! Await much more!
@@TheB657 totally agreed... But as I can see there have been attempts to divide on the basis of these two languages especially on the Tamil side... Many tamilians who at least I came across on internet seem to be against Sanskrit.. what can be the solution to this?
@@TheB657 I just hope people of Bharat get over the ideology of linguistic supremacy... Be it any language... I remember in one of the mann ki baat episode months or may be 2-3 years ago Modiji said that every state should declare a word from their language on daily or weekly basis for country this will help everyone learn other languages eventually.. that initiative was just forgotten... Even by the gov.. I liked it so much that time.. but nothing happened.. anyways.. vande maataram
@@TheB657 Yes tamizh and sanskrutam are the oldest language , but the problem is that Tamil as a national language would give one state a monopoly over other just as Hindi gives MP, UP, Bihar , DElhi Monopoly now . Sanskrit on the other hand , would not give any other state a monpoly over the other .
I reckon Sanskrit remain a classical language which can and should be studied, India’s diverse languages have evolved with localised flavours and practices under the larger civilisational canvas. People of this country should first be decolonised of both Europe’s version of indian history and Marxist views of our rich history, which can only be understood and appreciated using the Indic lens via Indian schools of thought and parampara, sampradayas. Tamil in a big way has preserved our culture through palm leaf manuscripts, stone inscriptions, ancient temples..with the North bearing brunt of the invasions, it deserves an exalted place in our civilisational discourse
Sir I'm in love with this channel of yours. While watching your videos I just loose the track of time. It's like, gyan ki ganga is flowing to take a dive in it.
Kalinga too had maritime history before Cholas, contemporary and before to Mauryans and Indianized Indonesia and many of southeast countries. Kaundinya ( Huntian ), an odia brahmin founded Funan empire in 1BCE. I want to know more about Kalingas' contribution towards souteast.
Vedas are super ancient but not the starting of Indian civilization. To write something like Vedas a civilization must be way older to attain that kind of knowledge... It would be interesting to have an episode about what happened after "Toba" volcanic eruption #AskAbhijit
So after the war of the ten kings these clans were expelled out the of India they went to form empires of persia, Europe and others, and they all came back invading the home they were expelled from. What an ironic full circle.
what i learned in history after the battle of kurukshetra the climate of north especially haryana, rajsthan etc. become deteriorated to such an extent that many clans migrated across indus for a time-being in Afghanistan u still found 2 districts of gurjar clan. if 9th century arab invasion repulsed by indian monarchs gurjar pratihara dynasty and chalukyas of south has formed an alliance defeated arabs at battle of Rajasthan. so these clans after some time came back in India since they preserved their culture over foreign land. kushan empire or emperor kanishka is the proof of that.
Govt is too busy making NYT and WP happy ,Hindus here want free electricity or want to consume that "we are superpower" drug while at the same time our brothers are dying there and we don't even shed a tear.
Well said. Indians have first world aspirations with third world infrastructure, but don't want to work towards nation building. Socialism has made Indians lazy and secularism has made Indians insensitive to their own cultural annihilation.
Don't blame common citizen for everything, they came to jantar mantar, what happened ????????they r rotting in jail, we gave huge majority to this gov, to do something, for long term benefit of India, we can support the gov, if needded fight for them, but in the contrary gov is Fighting with us 😨😨😨
I have read the Ramayana and Mahabharata so many times and I bet on it that Ramji ever eaten meat when i say it I literally mean it Very humbly I am saying it to you I like ur videos very much and follow uhh regularly u are an idol for me 🙏🙏🙏
1:00:25 Very True, Sir. In Telugu also adding Sanskrit words will improve the quality of the sentence. The sanskritized form of Telugu is known as Grandhika Telugu which means literary Telugu. Telugu and Kannada even has "Chhandas" which is the Metrical poetry system first developed by panini in Sanskrit but Telugu and Kannada scholars adopted this system into native language because of the sheer brilliance and beauty this system provides. I was privileged to learn this in my school by really disappointed by the fact that all the other Indian languages do not have this feature. still if Sanskrit was made national language it would have been accepted by all Indians rather than weird Arabized and Persianized version of Kharboli language now known as Hindi. This led to an increase in using foreign language English as a lingua franca even though we have a really long literary tradition.
41:42 Guruji, you have gone wrong here. See, lets go in a logical way. If Rama wanted to shoot the deer then why would he run behind the deer for a very long distance. He could have just shot the deer in a blink of eye. this is mentioned In the 43rd chapter of Valmiki Ramayana (17th and 18th sloka). The next proof that Lord Rama was not a meat eater is that, When Lord Rama was about to leave for the exile, he says to his mother, Kausalya, "Hitva Ahimsam", that means I will not commit any type of violence. But historians interpret this in a wrong manner, saying before leaving for exile he was a meat eater. LOL! This incident has been mentioned in the 20th chapter of Ayodhya kand (29th sloka) in the Valmiki Ramayana. Lord Rama said, "I will let go of my kingdom but I will never forget my Dharma". And here he is giving the moral that let the situation be worser than you think, you should not forget your roots (Dharma). Let me starve without eating anything, but i will not forget my Dharma he says. In the ancient Vedic texts, "Mamsa" is also referred to as the peel of mango. So, people started creating their own propaganda, by telling that Lord Rama was a meat-eater. That's why we need to take the help of a fine Acharya before drawing our own conclusions from our Ancient Indian scriptures. By the way, I am a huge follower of yours and your videos Guruji. Admire you a lot. I just wanted to clear the misconception that many of our country have . Jai Hind Guruji 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
Brilliant q & a session... Kudos to those who presented interesting and intelligent questions and as always, kudos to Abhijit ji for the excellent answers
#AskAbhijit 1. Your thoughts about the theory of Graham Hancock, that there was a very advanced global civilization about 10-12 thousand years ago, which was then destroyed by a great flood that was caused by a comet "The Younger Dryas impact" & created Younger Dryas boundary. 2. The Eye of Sahara (Richat Structure) is the most likely candidate for the City of Atlantis as described by Plato. 3. Also, the connection between ancient sites like the Pyramids of Giza, Gobekli Tepe, Mayan Pyramids, Easter Island, etc.
Sir you missed my questions again but it’s okay I have some more question on world history.#Askabhijit 1.Sir why didn’t any Asian empire never tried to colonise other parts of world.2.Sir Did mongol empire had any lasting effect on world history. I hope you take my question this time.Thank you.
@@yashvardhanojha6796 Yep i know but it will be more useful and exciting if sir starts making documentaries and historical videos like his genghis khan.👌
@@Deus-Gratia answer of first question is that the greater the empire the greater the sustenance and greater the expense. high risk of rebellion especially if ur nor native ruler. that's why most of the time even the great indic kings or empires like maurya, guptas, marathas etc, never try to go beyond kabul (Afghanistan). across kabul they considered persia(iran) foreign land. Their approach is correct studying the case of how the great conquerors ended up who only try to seek power. and how their empire ended up napolean Bonaparte, gengiz khan, hitler, timur etc. Instead indic empire rules the world through their softpowe or culture u can see how deep rooted the influence of indian culture over Asean nations. during chola empire hindusim spreaded over asean nations and during ashoka period buddhisim.
@@BhanuPratap-uw7tm Well that's for convenience didn't chola and vikramditya ruled foreign land.Also,india also had some military geniuses like samudragupta,bajirao,chandragupta maurya etc.
Think about it in this way guys, Just as the USA is an extension of the British as sir described in a session, the whole world, Europe, Australia, Eastern Africa, and America are just an extension of Indian People and Culture too!
I have read Bhagwad geeta there is No direct mention By Krisna that you should not eat meat .. But he Said what kind of food we should not eat. He said the food we should not too spicy or too salty . The food should not be rotten (Basi) The food should not be eaten too hot or cold , should eaten fresh while its still warm.
From what you said about Ashoka literally blew my mind. Out of all the stories out there, I always believed his was a legit. His influence still has a place in modern India. I'd love to know some sources of literature out there to defy this. Thanks... More love to the channel ❤️
Wish this nation gets 100s of Abhijit Chawda. This kind of Question answer sessions are 100 times more useful then the rest. Chawda ji has provided answers to those questions which often keep Indian youth in confusion.
Abhijit. I have been watching you on RUclips going on 5 hours now and I came to know of you less than 24 hrs. ! You are that captivating ! When it comes to world history I am no novice and I can see how knowledgeable you are. Not just about India's history but of many other lands. Your English is also flawless and I am sure you would do better with Hindi. You are right that the English have done us no favors with their language. Indians would have done just as well without it. I know Hindi and can vouch for the fact that ANY WORD in any language can be exactly written keeping to correct pronunciation. Can English, Latin or any language do that ? Thanks professor. You are simply unique.
#AskAbhijit : taking on from the confusion around vastra haran do you have something to opine on the "two-part" clothing adopted by both men and women. The upper garment was mostly meant for the people of significance while the general masses had one primary drape in the lower half. This clothing style seems to have been quite clearly described in Sita ma's clothing thrown down when being abducted by ravana as well as in the Mahabharata just before draupadi's harassment. The pandava s gave up their upper garment as they lost their independence and royalty to shakuni in the game of dice.
Always waiting for your episodes... thank u sir for all your efforts... I'm sure you will suffer for upholding your Dharma but like all great man. May your Will stay solid... Jai Hind...
#AskAbhijit Hi sir, I asked a question in today's episode as a superchat but because of too many questions it was missed. My question was: What was happening during the time of indus/vedic civilization in the south? Not much information is available about the culture around Kaveri and Krishna basins.
Ya the Dravidians came from Africa when?after Indus civilization was present or before?Because why did they travel so far when there was great civilization on thier way
He has answered this before. The simple answer is Indus and saraswati civilizations were very old. I mean very very old and very large so they i closed south too
I like the way you’re calling him by Mohan Das Gandhi rather than sugarcoated Mahatma Gandhi coined as a PR at that time. The same way they refused to write about Subhash Chandra Bose in the history books.
#AskAbhijit Sir can you give us better insight about Emperor Lalitaditya Mukhtipida and Bappa Rawal ji . There are very few sources to look about these kings . 😁
Sir, I want to say that majority understand hindi that's why should upload your videos in hindi. Sir this isn't advice. You deserve more than 1 crore subscriber. Love you sir ❤
Dear Sir Thank you very much for describing King Ashoka. I am a resident of Odisha which before was called Kalinga. I am very much interested in the topics you are taking as point of discussion in your podcasts. I have a request for you to please tell people about the history of Odisha(Kalinga). It would be great contribution from you towards the people of Odisha. We all know very less about our History. So please help us see the light.
I cry everytime I think of Netaji, he was responsible for uprooting the british raaj and could not breathe as a free man even post independence, had to die in hiding. All because of nehru-gandhi filth
We have to call him the "God father of India" as in 1943 or 44 Netaji himself coined the same term for Mr MK Gandhi in a Radio-broadcast! We must respect his words as well Thus instead of Father of Nation..even great term has to be used! Regards!
Absolutely true what Abhijit Sir had said about the connection between Sanatana Dharma and Zoroastrian religion. We do share the same ideology as both the ways of life have the same Vedic ancestry. I'm a Chittagonian (Chittagong, Bangladesh) Bengali Sanatandharmi from the Kshatriya caste, also known as Kayastha (not going to use Hindu or Hinduism as a religion because it's a term introduced by the colonists) who has an ancestral Zoroastrian lineage all the way from Kurdistan. Also, I appreciate the part of discussion where it has been said that Sanskrit is still alive. I believe language plays a very vital role in our very existence and identity. That's why we generally call someone Punjabi, Bengali, Angrez, Nepali, Malabari, Tamil, etc because they speak the respective languages. So, that becomes an identity. Much respect for Abhijit Sir 🙏 because my personal discreet research matches almost all the time with what he presents in this channel.
Quite impressed with your knowledge of various topics, both Eastern and Western! It's good to see informed opinions being disseminated rather than nonsensical half-truths based on fake news. And pardon the irony of the compliment, but your English is quite good. At the very least, you speak some language with fluency unlike many in India who can't seem to speak English nor their native languages properly.
If not bare, our ancestors probably wore minimum clothing on the top part. Firstly due to tropical weather, and secondly, the rich class would adorn their bodies with ornaments which would cover them considerably.
Dushyant Sridhar, who is an alumnus of BITS Pilani, is a brilliant Sanskrit and Tamil scholar and has mapped Vedic, Ramayan, Mahabharath periods based on incontrovertible astronomic events of ancient times. Probably, the entire historical timeline of India can be charted by your collective knowledge.
#Ask Abhijit Sir today we know that nearly all of the inventions and discoveries in the ancient times took place in the Indian subcontinent. So,my question is what as so special in ancient Indians that they were so ahead of their time?
There were various battle flags in Ranjit's Army as it consisted of variousbranch/regiments of religions.The battle flag of Hindu dieties is flag of Hindu Regiment. Not the actual battle flag of Sikh empire which is the Nishan Sahib
Ya you are right but still mahraja ranjeet singh didn't considered him different from Hindus , he even gave 1 tone of gold for kashi vishwnath temple and Hindus take great pride in our Sikhs warriors they are equally important as other hindu warriors
On the last question, Abhijit's answer is incomplete. Yes, some regiments in the Sikh army (Hindu regiments in particular), had deities on their flags, however the Sikh Empire had many flags, many without Hindu deities.
Thank you for your awesome history of Bharat revisited. We are enriched and up lifted. Regards to Hindi usage, from my understanding it’s Hindustani that is an amalgamation of foreign words, Shudh Hindi also sounds close to Sunskritum. Thank you once again. Keep up this message.
After independence it has become the trend in India, negative people like Ashoka, Ravan are portraying as positive and those who had set the right examples have faded away.

In Valmiki Ramayana , it is written that Mata Sita wanted that golden Dear as a pet , that is why Lord Ram didn't shoot when he saw first and chased the dear .

Exactly. Hinduism never propounds meat eating. Lord Rama was not a meat eater and as you've mentioned, in Arnaya kand, chapter 43, slokas 16,17 clearly speaks of the intentions of Mother Sita as to why she wanted that deer. It was to have it as a pet as its enchanting beauty would adorn the palace of Ayodhya after exile. Also in Ayodhya kand, before leaving for exile, Lord Rama promised Kaushalya mata that no matter how dire the circumstances might be in the forest, he would never ever take meat.
Apart from this one question, the rest of the discussion was very interesting and thing provoking.

*50:42** A correction here... There are plenty of mentions of Homosexuality and other sexual orientations and gender identities* (bisexuals, intersex, transgenders, etc.) *in Ancient Indian literature, probably more than any other nation's scholarly literature of the time.*
In fact, 'Homosexual acts' find a direct or indirect mention in all the ancient cultures like Greece, Rome, and China, but mostly in extremely negative and criminal forms like pedophilia or sexual abuse. _The only ancient culture where 'true homosexuals' were not just recognised and acknowledged as a group of people, but also accepted as normal human beings was India._
*Indian texts on biology and medical sciences (both Charaka and Sushruta Samhita) mention more than 12 types of 'third gender'* (the Sanskrit term used there is 'Tritiya Prakriti') *sexualities* and mention how it is natural and by birth (something which even many modern people try to deny, although scientifically proven). Apart from Ayurveda, other texts which discuss these sexualities in enormous detail, is *Narada Smriti.* In these texts, gays are referred to as _'Kliba',_ lesbians as _'Svairini',_ intersex as _'Dviretas'..._ (the list is long).
But homosexuals, their lifestyle, conditions, love and relationships are discussed in most detail in the Kamasutra, which also talks about *'gay marriage',* an idea which sounds too liberal even for our age.
Here is the relevant quote:
*_"There are also homosexual citizens, sometimes greatly attached to one another and with complete faith in one another, who get married together."_** - Kama Sutra 2.9.36*
To the above verse the traditional commentary on Kamasutra called _'Jayamangala'_ by _Yashodhara_ states:
_"Citizens with this kind of homosexual inclination, who renounce women and can do without them willingly because they love one another, get married together, bound by a deep and trusting friendship."_
_There are many other references._

#AskAbhijit Sir I would recommend you and everyone whether they like history or not to check PraveenMohan channel on RUclips. He has thrown light on very very amazing archaeological evidences by himself going to those sites. And some social media including RUclips are trying to remove his videos and threatening to ban him. Just check his mind blowing discoveries which actually none of us know. Example- How the ancient temples were built so marvellously, there are evidences of the people actually having advanced technology back then!
Check out Nilesh Oak too
Yes very good suggestion but also spread awareness about doctor nagaswamy Who wrote Tamil Nadu the land of Védas
@@chanakyagan @chanakyagan why is tamil nadu only the land of vedas? Whole Bharat varsh is the land of vedas.
yes i follow praveenmohan
@Krish Superman will follow thank you for suggestion
Let’s not forget that -
Britishers took over the reigns of our country after Turkic rule , which was anti- science , anti- technology. So we tend to believe that Britishers modernized us, whereas we went thousands of years backwards after these two colonizations.
- Secondly, I read somewhere that the colonized world never had malaria. It came from Spain and other European nations who used to dig lands for rail tracks and leave them open. When the rain water used to get collected there , it bred mosquitos. And this introduced diseases like malaria, cholera etc in these nations.
Right👍😑

Sanskrit should become our national language..tamil i confirm has 40% of Sanskrit words.
@@TheB657 yes both are important for our culture and civilization growth
@@TheB657 totally agreed... But as I can see there have been attempts to divide on the basis of these two languages especially on the Tamil side... Many tamilians who at least I came across on internet seem to be against Sanskrit.. what can be the solution to this?
@@TheB657 I just hope people of Bharat get over the ideology of linguistic supremacy... Be it any language... I remember in one of the mann ki baat episode months or may be 2-3 years ago Modiji said that every state should declare a word from their language on daily or weekly basis for country this will help everyone learn other languages eventually.. that initiative was just forgotten... Even by the gov.. I liked it so much that time.. but nothing happened.. anyways.. vande maataram
@@TheB657 Yes tamizh and sanskrutam are the oldest language , but the problem is that Tamil as a national language would give one state a monopoly over other just as Hindi gives MP, UP, Bihar , DElhi Monopoly now .
Sanskrit on the other hand , would not give any other state a monpoly over the other .
I reckon Sanskrit remain a classical language which can and should be studied, India’s diverse languages have evolved with localised flavours and practices under the larger civilisational canvas. People of this country should first be decolonised of both Europe’s version of indian history and Marxist views of our rich history, which can only be understood and appreciated using the Indic lens via Indian schools of thought and parampara, sampradayas. Tamil in a big way has preserved our culture through palm leaf manuscripts, stone inscriptions, ancient temples..with the North bearing brunt of the invasions, it deserves an exalted place in our civilisational discourse
Sir I'm in love with this channel of yours. While watching your videos I just loose the track of time. It's like, gyan ki ganga is flowing to take a dive in it.

Kalinga too had maritime history before Cholas, contemporary and before to Mauryans and Indianized Indonesia and many of southeast countries. Kaundinya ( Huntian ), an odia brahmin founded Funan empire in 1BCE.
I want to know more about Kalingas' contribution towards souteast.
Vedas are super ancient but not the starting of Indian civilization. To write something like Vedas a civilization must be way older to attain that kind of knowledge... It would be interesting to have an episode about what happened after "Toba" volcanic eruption #AskAbhijit
Sir please start making videos and documentaries about indian and world history.It will be superhelpfull.I hope you do it soon.
So after the war of the ten kings these clans were expelled out the of India they went to form empires of persia, Europe and others, and they all came back invading the home they were expelled from. What an ironic full circle.
what i learned in history after the battle of kurukshetra the climate of north especially haryana, rajsthan etc. become deteriorated to such an extent that many clans migrated across indus for a time-being in Afghanistan u still found 2 districts of gurjar clan. if 9th century arab invasion repulsed by indian monarchs gurjar pratihara dynasty and chalukyas of south has formed an alliance defeated arabs at battle of Rajasthan. so these clans after some time came back in India since they preserved their culture over foreign land. kushan empire or emperor kanishka is the proof of that.

Well said. Indians have first world aspirations with third world infrastructure, but don't want to work towards nation building. Socialism has made Indians lazy and secularism has made Indians insensitive to their own cultural annihilation.

I have read the Ramayana and Mahabharata so many times and I bet on it that Ramji ever eaten meat when i say it I literally mean it
Very humbly I am saying it to you I like ur videos very much and follow uhh regularly u are an idol for me 🙏🙏🙏
Are u saying Ramji was eating meet or never eat it??😅😅🙏🙏
Which ramayan you read
You're the history professor we need in our schools and professors. Thanks sir!
Amazing session sir.. it was quiet informative.. Thank you sir 👍
1:00:25 Very True, Sir. In Telugu also adding Sanskrit words will improve the quality of the sentence. The sanskritized form of Telugu is known as Grandhika Telugu which means literary Telugu. Telugu and Kannada even has "Chhandas" which is the Metrical poetry system first developed by panini in Sanskrit but Telugu and Kannada scholars adopted this system into native language because of the sheer brilliance and beauty this system provides. I was privileged to learn this in my school by really disappointed by the fact that all the other Indian languages do not have this feature. still if Sanskrit was made national language it would have been accepted by all Indians rather than weird Arabized and Persianized version of Kharboli language now known as Hindi. This led to an increase in using foreign language English as a lingua franca even though we have a really long literary tradition.
41:42 Guruji, you have gone wrong here. See, lets go in a logical way. If Rama wanted to shoot the deer then why would he run behind the deer for a very long distance. He could have just shot the deer in a blink of eye. this is mentioned In the 43rd chapter of Valmiki Ramayana (17th and 18th sloka). The next proof that Lord Rama was not a meat eater is that, When Lord Rama was about to leave for the exile, he says to his mother, Kausalya, "Hitva Ahimsam", that means I will not commit any type of violence. But historians interpret this in a wrong manner, saying before leaving for exile he was a meat eater. LOL! This incident has been mentioned in the 20th chapter of Ayodhya kand (29th sloka) in the Valmiki Ramayana. Lord Rama said, "I will let go of my kingdom but I will never forget my Dharma". And here he is giving the moral that let the situation be worser than you think, you should not forget your roots (Dharma). Let me starve without eating anything, but i will not forget my Dharma he says. In the ancient Vedic texts, "Mamsa" is also referred to as the peel of mango. So, people started creating their own propaganda, by telling that Lord Rama was a meat-eater. That's why we need to take the help of a fine Acharya before drawing our own conclusions from our Ancient Indian scriptures. By the way, I am a huge follower of yours and your videos Guruji. Admire you a lot. I just wanted to clear the misconception that many of our country have . Jai Hind Guruji 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳

1. Your thoughts about the theory of Graham Hancock, that there was a very advanced global civilization about 10-12 thousand years ago, which was then destroyed by a great flood that was caused by a comet "The Younger Dryas impact" & created Younger Dryas boundary.
2. The Eye of Sahara (Richat Structure) is the most likely candidate for the City of Atlantis as described by Plato.
3. Also, the connection between ancient sites like the Pyramids of Giza, Gobekli Tepe, Mayan Pyramids, Easter Island, etc.
Your theory on Jats is far fetched and spurious

I think the purpose is to introduce the crowd to a large variety of topics and after that it's our duty to dig in.
@@yashvardhanojha6796 Yep i know but it will be more useful and exciting if sir starts making documentaries and historical videos like his genghis khan.👌
@@Deus-Gratia answer of first question is that the greater the empire the greater the sustenance and greater the expense. high risk of rebellion especially if ur nor native ruler. that's why most of the time even the great indic kings or empires like maurya, guptas, marathas etc, never try to go beyond kabul (Afghanistan). across kabul they considered persia(iran) foreign land. Their approach is correct studying the case of how the great conquerors ended up who only try to seek power. and how their empire ended up napolean Bonaparte, gengiz khan, hitler, timur etc. Instead indic empire rules the world through their softpowe or culture u can see how deep rooted the influence of indian culture over Asean nations. during chola empire hindusim spreaded over asean nations and during ashoka period buddhisim.
@@BhanuPratap-uw7tm Well that's for convenience didn't chola and vikramditya ruled foreign land.Also,india also had some military geniuses like samudragupta,bajirao,chandragupta maurya etc.

It’s written in Mahabharat - that one should not eat meat . Even Gita tells so , but indirectly.
Please share the verse
I have read Bhagwad geeta there is No direct mention By Krisna that you should not eat meat .. But he Said what kind of food we should not eat.
He said the food we should not too spicy or too salty .
The food should not be rotten (Basi)
The food should not be eaten too hot or cold , should eaten fresh while its still warm.

Abhijit. I have been watching you on RUclips going on 5 hours now and I came to know of you less than 24 hrs. ! You are that captivating ! When it comes to world history I am no novice and I can see how knowledgeable you are. Not just about India's history but of many other lands. Your English is also flawless and I am sure you would do better with Hindi. You are right that the English have done us no favors with their language. Indians would have done just as well without it. I know Hindi and can vouch for the fact that ANY WORD in any language can be exactly written keeping to correct pronunciation. Can English, Latin or any language do that ? Thanks professor. You are simply unique.
#AskAbhijit : taking on from the confusion around vastra haran do you have something to opine on the "two-part" clothing adopted by both men and women. The upper garment was mostly meant for the people of significance while the general masses had one primary drape in the lower half. This clothing style seems to have been quite clearly described in Sita ma's clothing thrown down when being abducted by ravana as well as in the Mahabharata just before draupadi's harassment. The pandava s gave up their upper garment as they lost their independence and royalty to shakuni in the game of dice.
Abhijit ji (I refrain from saying Abhijit sir just to decolonize myself), you are awesome. Thanks a lot for providing wisdom.

#AskAbhijit Hi sir, I asked a question in today's episode as a superchat but because of too many questions it was missed. My question was:
What was happening during the time of indus/vedic civilization in the south? Not much information is available about the culture around Kaveri and Krishna basins.
He spoke something about these things in older videos.
Watch older ones and see if you can get your answers.
Ya the Dravidians came from Africa when?after Indus civilization was present or before?Because why did they travel so far when there was great civilization on thier way
He has answered this before. The simple answer is Indus and saraswati civilizations were very old. I mean very very old and very large so they i closed south too

I am very much interested in the topics you are taking as point of discussion in your podcasts. I have a request for you to please tell people about the history of Odisha(Kalinga). It would be great contribution from you towards the people of Odisha. We all know very less about our History. So please help us see the light.
Excellent thanks for bringing out the Hidden truth
You are too brilliant
Father of nation is Subhas Chandra Bose 🇮🇳not so called Gandhi
I cry everytime I think of Netaji, he was responsible for uprooting the british raaj and could not breathe as a free man even post independence, had to die in hiding. All because of nehru-gandhi filth
We have to call him the "God father of India" as in 1943 or 44 Netaji himself coined the same term for Mr MK Gandhi in a Radio-broadcast! We must respect his words as well
Thus instead of Father of Nation..even great term has to be used!

Absolutely true what Abhijit Sir had said about the connection between Sanatana Dharma and Zoroastrian religion. We do share the same ideology as both the ways of life have the same Vedic ancestry. I'm a Chittagonian (Chittagong, Bangladesh) Bengali Sanatandharmi from the Kshatriya caste, also known as Kayastha (not going to use Hindu or Hinduism as a religion because it's a term introduced by the colonists) who has an ancestral Zoroastrian lineage all the way from Kurdistan. Also, I appreciate the part of discussion where it has been said that Sanskrit is still alive. I believe language plays a very vital role in our very existence and identity. That's why we generally call someone Punjabi, Bengali, Angrez, Nepali, Malabari, Tamil, etc because they speak the respective languages. So, that becomes an identity.
Much respect for Abhijit Sir 🙏 because my personal discreet research matches almost all the time with what he presents in this channel.
Sanskrit is the language which provides you the facility to express large massage in a very short sentences (sholka)
You are knowledge hub Abhijit Ji.. love to watch your videos.
Quite impressed with your knowledge of various topics, both Eastern and Western! It's good to see informed opinions being disseminated rather than nonsensical half-truths based on fake news. And pardon the irony of the compliment, but your English is quite good. At the very least, you speak some language with fluency unlike many in India who can't seem to speak English nor their native languages properly.
amazing information , amazing perspectives .thanks a lot sir
If not bare, our ancestors probably wore minimum clothing on the top part. Firstly due to tropical weather, and secondly, the rich class would adorn their bodies with ornaments which would cover them considerably.
Thankyou sir for those points on BRITISHERS.
Dushyant Sridhar, who is an alumnus of BITS Pilani, is a brilliant Sanskrit and Tamil scholar and has mapped Vedic, Ramayan, Mahabharath periods based on incontrovertible astronomic events of ancient times. Probably, the entire historical timeline of India can be charted by your collective knowledge.
So when did Ramayan happened according to it
#Ask Abhijit Sir today we know that nearly all of the inventions and discoveries in the ancient times took place in the Indian subcontinent. So,my question is what as so special in ancient Indians that they were so ahead of their time?
There were various battle flags in Ranjit's Army as it consisted of variousbranch/regiments of religions.The battle flag of Hindu dieties is flag of Hindu Regiment. Not the actual battle flag of Sikh empire which is the Nishan Sahib
Ya you are right but still mahraja ranjeet singh didn't considered him different from Hindus , he even gave 1 tone of gold for kashi vishwnath temple and Hindus take great pride in our Sikhs warriors they are equally important as other hindu warriors
Amazing amazing just amazing, thank you for all your knowledge👏👏👏👏👏
On the last question, Abhijit's answer is incomplete. Yes, some regiments in the Sikh army (Hindu regiments in particular), had deities on their flags, however the Sikh Empire had many flags, many without Hindu deities.
Thank you for your awesome history of Bharat revisited. We are enriched and up lifted.
Regards to Hindi usage, from my understanding it’s Hindustani that is an amalgamation of foreign words, Shudh Hindi also sounds close to Sunskritum. Thank you once again. Keep up this message.
How did Buddhism extinct from India? Please make a detailed video on this topic. Thank you.
After independence it has become the trend in India, negative people like Ashoka, Ravan are portraying as positive and those who had set the right examples have faded away.
Beautiful stuff by Abhijit sir , I hope the new history textbooks are made in consultation with your sir :P . Much love ❤️
Sir plz make these videos in hindi that more people can connect with it and know their history in far better way 🙏
