Coming Invasion of the Huns
HTML-код

- Alchon Huns, who replaced the Kidarites in the Northwestern region of the Indian Subcontinent, were responsible for the Huna invasion that happened around the start of the sixth century AD. In this video, I talk about the history of the rise of these Alchon Huns.

Kidarites = Qadri
Hephthal = Abdali
Proves that modern Pashtuns are a mixture of various tribes from all eras.
Not only pashtuns,alchon huns contributed in the population around sialkot and jammu
Can we get a detailed explanation on how groups like Huns, saka differed, their origins etc
Have covered both Shakas and Hu as in my previous videos.
I've noticed that all the Persian empires have tried to expand in Western direction. Why none of them have expanded into India proper despite India being more rich?
The Achaemenids did invade the Indus Valley, but projecting power in general would have been difficult to maintain beyond both sides of the Hindu Kush mountains for a prolonged time so it was uncommon in history Indian empires to push beyond Balkh and for foreigners beyond Afghanistan to maintain their home base and project power to Madhyadesh. The kushans were an exception
It's true that Archaemenids Or Hashamanish had their sway over Gandhar valley till Indus river but not beyond that as it is has logistical issues & one main reason was that for Persians Indian were like the cousins who share old religious beliefs in some other forms & name but origin is same. Persians call their land as Ayran(Iran comes from this word), region of Herat was known as Aryana & we in India calls it Aryavarta.
@@royarnab26 it's a very childish thing to say do you really believe that
@@mrmap4875 no it's very pragmatic & realistic to believe that we Indians pop up just from under the earth to india & we r all from same stock & breed. We travelled world over to spread human populations there. I think this is the very realistic view isn't it??
@@mrmap4875 That's not childish whatsoever. It's a well established historical fact.
One of the best channel for Indian history on RUclips
Thank you
What is the name that Indian sources use for Iranians -Achaemenid or Sassanian or others in general. And which Indian books provide these names?
Pārsika is the term which was probably used for Persians. There are some Puranas I think which mentions the name. But most important we have Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha that talks about the conquest of the Pārsikas by Raghu.
Kinghila rule over gandhar
Javuha control swat valley
Jhelum valley is controlled by meham
Punjab torman
your channel is a bomb...
What I'd like to see more?
1) More attention to the sources of indian history. India has no heredotus or thucydides or livy. So, how do we know what we know?
2) Indian religious and literary history, told in parallel with indian political history.. For example, I'd really like to know more about the rise of vaishnavisn, shaivism, tantra, naths, kapalikas, kalamukhas etc..
Thanks for these suggestions. About the first one, I had already made some videos. Do check those.
@@JayVardhanSingh Ah yes, as I explore your channel more and more, I am noticing that you are very careful about the sources.
@@JayVardhanSingh .. if i may add, can you also throw some light on the beliefs, value system & ways of life of these various groups of people that formed a huge mixture of races & tribes to our northwest west gateways.
Did they establish their own systems here ? .. or got assimilated into the prevalent systems of the times.
This whole northwest of Bharat is seems so rootless today IMO.
Also tell about origin Empire of Harsha ( Pushyabhuti Dynasty 500- 647ce) They have relation to Yaudhyas ? same like Kunidas to Amoghabhuti
Yes l, will soon do so
Khingila = shingul greenflower is a name still in use in pashto
Very informative and interesting
Glad you think so!
White huns was pashtuns alchon means youth or boys and hephthalite or ebodal whic they call themselves ebodal /abdali
whats your opinion on romila thappar, irfan habib and r c majumdar
Rc majumdar is a very good historian with no biases. His 10 volume work is fantastic. Romilla thapar is trash .
@@ayushkumarsingh3029 romilla thappar is ultra ultra liberal.which is dangerous for culture
Irfan Habib has only written one good book, which is an Atlas of the Mughal Empire, other than that he is mediocre
Romila Thapar is good for ancient India (but not best, Upinder and others are better than her), but she's bad for medieval India
Majumdar is good in general, but he is outdated due to newer discoveries
@@ayushkumarsingh3029 All historians have biases, every human has it, it is not possible to have no bias.
Please make a video of bookshelf tour and some book recommendations
Would like to explain on Sassanid empire in relation to the Indian Empire and kingdom???
Pre islamic Persians treat Indians as their cousins as both belong & carry on same old religion with some difference. They call their land as Ayran(Iran comes from this word), region of Herat was known as Aryana & we Indians call our land as Aryavarta.
Recently I completed my BSc now I wanted to do MA history,, can you suggest some good books to start with.. thanks in advance 😊😊
You can read the multi-volume work The History and Culture of the Indian People if you want to read about the History in detail.
But if you're looking for an introductory work. Go through AL Basham's the Wonder that was India.
Awesome work . My eyes are wide open . 😐😐
Can u please tell suggest me books to read about the battle of 10 kings ?
There's no book on this topic. But you can read the Vedic Age. It has some good info about this war.
read the vedas bruh
We can still see that sign used by kidarite huns easily on the roads of India.
It means a huge portion of Indian population belongs to these huns .
All these years these historian were selling churan . 🤔
Which sign
Most awaited video
Yes, exactly, great job about indian and hun history. I congratulate! Each tamga corresponds to different tribes of hunnic or turkic tribes like as in anatolian turkic tribes after seljukian empire collapsed.
You can inspect anatolian seljukian tribes separately, each tribes had special tamgas. IYI was ottoman tamga who won against all other turkic tribes and had leadership in their hand as "Ottomans" - IYI...
Tamgha is related to tengrism
Turkic doesn’t come yet bro they came later after iranian king requested and helped to defeat abdalian
@@specialtalentes Bro, you may have right, I also think similar. Huns have come and conquer in later ages but this does not mean they did not ever enter in south asia before. They have come to south asia as altaic siberia originated R1a, R2 immigrants tousands of years before. This is why they have been converted to local languages. Original altaic siberian languages are agglutinative dene-caucasian, uralic-altaic languages. Dene-Caucasian language family (theoretical) include burushaski hunza and sometimes dravidian too.
I mean turkic people and indian people are genetically paternal relatives partly, we were not so far from eachother. Hunnic/turkic people have come and conquer there in later ages told in this video.

👍👍🙏
Nice
