Dr. Aurangzeb, We're amazed about what has been produced in this insightful episode. An episode perfectly made for history buffs, and great recommendations for resurrection of Kanishka Stupa, of which the remnants were found in 2011. Creating an episode of this level would not have been possible without you. Congratulations!
I must give my heartiest respect to the honorable anchor. She has such a remarkable patience, which teaches a person how to listen properly and give other person to talk and to give the chance to complete whatever the opposite person's statement. This is a great virtue. 👍
U must return to ur true historical past which has been so great. Revival of such ancient places will make your country better place in terms of society & economic status.
@@dh.globaltravel All right. I wanted to mention that, at the time of Greek Emperor Alexander's invasion in India, Taxila was the Capital city of Gandhara kingdom or "Mahajanapad". Thanks 😊.
Very good question Mahuja! This interview is very important & you have felt the pulse of it. This interview has been conducted in order to highlight (a) Significance of Peshawar in having remnants of monumental Kanishka Stupa & (b) Resurrection of the Stupa in consultation with the stakeholders. The actual condition needs attention of the archaeology department of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region for its resurrection.
@@dh.globaltravel Thanks for your kind reply. I am interested in ancient history, historical places, sights and monuments. I am glad that at present time a discussion is held on ancient Gandhara and Purushpur, which are modern day Kandahar and Peshwar. And I support from the core point of my heart that, the Stupa made by Kushan Emperor Kanishka will be resurrected, and the work is already started. In Indian subcontinent people often talk and know about Mauryans and Guptas, but unfortunately Emperor Kanishka and his administration and works are not much known to many people. Even many are not aware that 4th Budhdhist council was held at the regime of Emperor Kanishka. Keep your good work up. Thanks again. 😊 🙏
certainly you are a knowledgable person. Just some things to add, Budhism was not pushed out of india like you have stated. It kept attracting many followers and spread into many regions as far as iran. Budhism became part of Hindu culture and remains that way. Hindus observe Budha's birth as one of its many auspicious days. Amongst many Hindu spiritual school of thinking, the ideas of Budhism itself became popular. Gandhara was the name of Gandhari, queen of the blind king Drutharashtra, this predates many millennia than Budhist colonies in Gandhara (kandahar)
Thank you for your addition. Certainly in modern day Thailand, Buddhist & Hindu traditions appear in a very mixed form. But what I meant was that, across the land, the fortunes of peoples & tribes & religions, kings & emporers have kept on changing. And I don't think that history has stopped it's march just yet. I knew the name Gandhari & it's connection to Kandahar & Gandhara, but am no expert on eastern religions, I have to confess. Yes, the remains of Buddhist civilisation are found far & wide towards central & west Asia, but they probably spread from north west India, the region under question. And nowhere is there a thicker spread of them than the Kabul river valley & it's immediate environs. Starting from the center of a mound, the remains spread to a km or two. The setting was not rural. It was great cities. & then , the silk road & all, I think it was a bit more connected than it is now. Thank you Sir, for your valuable addition. I'll add that to my baggage
@@aurangzebdurrani4051 sir, appreciate your response. Indeed there was a period of great civilizational progress around Gandhara. we only see the reminiscent of what was once a thriving society. While it easy to access the budhist roots in the east(of India), there's hardly any talk/recognition of its spread in the Kabul river front. Thanks for bring this to our notice. As per the east, it was the likes of Acharya Nagarjuna ( from south India) who's works were adopted many centuries later by the Chinese travelers that took Budhist philosophies across. While India predominantly lingered in Budhist/Jain/Hindu line of thoughts, it as during Sankaracharya's time that there were radical changes that brought back science to the forefront as he established the 4 Matts across India. This certainly brought the continuum of Sanathana Dharma across the mainland. That is why we don't see dedicated practicing of Buddhism allover India, with few exceptions.
Keep in touch please. There is another video which you might like. It's in the making. Plus on this same channel, there are some more on the buddhist heritage, which you can see right now. But wait for a very good one. You'll like it. Guaranteed
Looks good ms adeeba. You actually lead the interview in a very professional manner

Good Describe in response of interview.
Thank you for watching!

Thankyou for your detailed insightful response.
Excuse me, the capital of ancient Gandhara was Taxila, not Peshwar. Peshwar was called Purushpur in ancient times.
The former capital of "Kushan Dynasty" was present day Peshawar. This is documented in history publications.
Thank you for watching.

But right now what is the actual condition of this "Stupa"?
