V, knowledgeable video

Is Vikramaditya of Ujjain a fictional character or a historical personality? What archaeological and literary evidence is there related to him? Can his coins or inscriptions be found? Did his contemporary kings write about him?

Conspiracy theories destroyed in this video - 1) Ancient Indians did not eat meat . 2) The baseless claim that sandrocottus is Chandragupta 1st . 3) Another baseless claim that Chanakya is a fake character .

Dada please make a video about different schools of historiography and how they see history.

Battle of Rajasthan and chola expedition of south east Asia

I have two questions, 1. the akkadian inscription of king Rimush mentions the a combat with the troops of meluha. Is this a reference to the Sarasvati Sindhu civilization? 2. Are pallavas of the ancient south India related to the Persian pahalava clan in any way?

13:55 . also brahmi of the naneghat inscription of naganika and kharabela"s inscription are same or almost similar . then the inscription mentions dimita which is most probably demetrius 1 or 2 . so 1st century bce seems plausible .

Excellent again Jay. Can you let us know your take on recent news on Poompuhar in Tamil Nadu. Is it possible to have such a big city at the end of ice age as they are claiming?

Interesting. Would love it if you could talk abt the cultural legacy or continuity of indus valley not just in india or pakistan but also in iran or afghanistan.

Can you please make episodes about the historicity of rama, ramayana and Mahabharata? Was a king or a tribal warrior the inspiration for ramayana? And how historically accurate are the characters and the events of it and the origins? Also, please talk about the 'battle of the ten kings' mentioned in the rigveda

Can you do a video on the history of Nyaya and Nyayaika in royal courts?

Can you study about keeladi and make a video on it?!

Seems I missed the chance to get my question answered. But for the next Q&A. Why is there seemingly such a lack of written historical material usable in history from India compared to the rest of the world. In the Ancient Era especially but the Medieval Era as well to a lesser extent. Why is much more of Indian history done using archeological sources, including written in stone sources compared to the West and Islamic world?. Why is the history of several Indian major states like the Mauryans done using external written sources and archeological evidence upon the antiquity of writing on the Indian Subcontinent.

Bro Plz make a detailed video on Kashmir ...❤❤❤❤

A video or videos on Ramayan and Mahabharat time States needed from you very much Brother i/we need clarification about the states or the regions which existed then and now what they are known as ..like SHALYA who was mama of Pandavas but he has to drive the chariot of Karna. We know SHALYA was master at chariot and why his state was referred as "Mleccha desh".

Hey you didn't answered any of my questions 😢

When trying to expose someone and instead get yourself exposed....😂😂😂😂

31:00 why did he moved from "compared to" to "relative to"

Why are not uploading any video in historically speaking channel? Will you only upload in this channel?

I have come to know that the names Chanaka and Chapada are found in some inscriptions and Buddhist texts.

did the ancient ibdian armies have medics or doctors for the troops and vetenarians for the horses and elephants when they get hurt or sick.

Share it to all bhimtas .

Chandragupta maurya is mentioned in the book of megathenes's Indica, isn't that a contemporary evidence of Chandragupta Maurya? If not him then who was the founder of Mauryan empire? Bimbisara was the relative of Mahavir Jain, according to Jain literature and was contemporary to Mahavir Jain. If we minus the history of Haryank dynasty, most of the Buddhist chronicles, 1st Buddhist council etc becomes fake history. Was that the case? But if we minus Chanakya from Indian history, nothing will be going to change. So the contemporary evidences of Chanakya are very necessary to prove that it is not added character in Indian history

Hello Jayavardhan ji😂 Question: the people from Andhra pradesh and Telangana strongly believe that they are descended of Shatavahan dynasty. Is there any historical truth to this claim.

is pali derived from Sanskrit or its other way around?

👀

talking about contemporary evidences, there is not a single contemporary evidence for lord buddha too, does it mean he was mythical?

Sangam literture not just have poem for mauryan chariot in some poem it mentioned chola illencheziyan formed confedaration with chera,pandiya and all tamil vassals to fight against mauryans, in another poem it mentioned chola illencheziyan defeated mauryan in place called vallam . And another poem mentioned malayamman vassal of chera defeated aryan intrustion. In another poem it mentioned kosar which lost to aryan recovered by tamil confedaration. And also the pushed aryan far. All wer different poem written by differnt poet.

हिंदी मे क्यों नहीं ?

I may be wrong but I sense you are rightly critical about Buddbist text but not of Hindu.

In gupt coin , is it समुद्रगुप्त or समदगुपत

Where's contemporary evidence of BUDDHA?

15:10 It should be termed *"Tamili"* not _Tamil brahmi._ Jain texts _pannavana sutra_ and _samavayanga sutra_ lists Damili besides Brahmi among the *then prevailed 18 scripts!* ============================ A smaller list of eighteen ancient Indian lipi is found in the Prakrit texts of Jainism (spelled as lipi sometimes[53]), such as the Pannavana Sutra (2nd century BCE) and the Samavayanga Sutra (3rd century BCE).[11][30] This list shares some names found in the Buddhist lists of ancient Indian scripts, but includes new names. The Jaina script list includes Brahmi at number 1, Kharosthi at number 4, but includes Javanaliya and others not found in the Buddhist lists.[11] Scholars such as Buhler state that the Jaina list of ancient Indian scripts is likely older than the Buddhist list, but still belonging to the second half of the 1st millennium BCE wherein Javanaliya probably is the same as one of the many Sanskrit scripts called Yavanani, which was derived from the Greek (Yavana) alphabet.[11] The Jaina canonical texts list the following writing scripts in ancient India:[54] Brahmi Javanaliya (Greek) Dosapuriya Kharosthi Pukkharasariya Bhogavaiya Paharaiyao Amtarikariya Akkharaputthiya Venaiya Ninhaiya Amka-livi Ganita-livi Gamdhavva-livi Ayamsa-livi Mahesari Damili Polimdi

Thank you sir, it was such an informative video, I am soo sorry for being late, but I want to ask you sir, that I am a Masters student of Ancient Indian History Culture & Archaeology, But still I am struggling to find out that what is the correct way to understand the history of a particular time period, how to know various debates and discussions surrounding a particular period or a particular topic. How you have studied Ancient Indian History ?

Wow he did what I asked for 😂😂😂

Modern scholarship doesn't consider the existence of a second Sātakaṇi.

Whether Chanakya and Koutilya one and the same? When Was Chanakya or koutilya first mentioned in any writing? We won't ask "contemporary" evidence.

Were Gupta's hindus ?? Did sanskrit exist during gupta time Whats written in gupta coins Example - समुद्रगुप्त or समदगुपत Whay are old inscriptions sanskritized in texts??

According to science all Humans have common origin, so there is a lot of ancient common culture. Humans reached South India first.

0:24 hello mr. Jay vardhan, My name is Saddam. And I belong to Pakistan. I have a bachelor's degree in information technology. Exploring old archaeological sites is my hobby. You won't believe me. But I have a place in Batkhela city of Malakand district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. whose name is Kalito Banda. At this place, I saw the image of Padmavati, Krishna and Professor Chankya carved on a huge stone. I am sending you the original picture of that stone. And on this stone I see human figures. And builder rock picture will send you again, but i will highlighting those faces of human.

Contemporary Avidence of buddha?

Good analysis of subject but i think still this person is slightly biased towards hinduism.❤ It will better he sheds these perseption he will be best.❤

I tried to do some of the research on whether sandrocottus is chandragupta 1 or chandragupta maurya. Ashoka kandahar inscriptions tlk about yavans in his army. But to notice , there's nowhere written that yavan and yunani(greeks) were sam. Yavan clan existed even in mahajanapada era. It means people beyond north western india and did not follow vedic culture. Also about mentioning of ptolemy and different kings in greek language in kandahar inscriptions: these are written in two languages, greek on top and armic at bottom. Aramic is quite older script than greek. Also the greek written there is initially quite thinner as it was done to fit in the left over space. Similar things are done at allahabad inscription of ashoka where Samudragupta later added his achievements. Though it requires a lot of research to find the real truth. I will like you to go through it again . Also do read an article on this by bharatbhumi on google. You shall find it. Please reconsider it!!

There is no evidence of chanakya and claim that he influenced chandragupt Maurya is tell tale story of jenevudhari s. There is no evidence of chanakya in any of mauryan ruins, writing s or inscription s. Mauryan s are the pioneer s in converting India (down below ganga) from a wild forest to agricultural and artisans land. Jenevudhari s arrive on mainstream after defeat of jaina, buddha and shaiva kings in the hands of Muslim trader/invaders. Post 9th century AD, Jenevudhari s made use of patent right of avtara and appropriated indian indigenous deities in the name of avtara (patent right given by adi shankaracharya of 9th century AD).

We were world's oldest democracy and

The notion of Sangham literature and its antiquity itself is highly controversial.Tamilians may be 200% sure about Sangham period and its literature but a dispassionate literary historian would find the evidences for this sangham period quite problematic and scanty.

Archaeologists can only become true historians, others can just peddle histories according to their whims. Period

You said history before mourya there is no evidence, this means there is no historical and achiological evidence of veda's and Vedic period😅.

his evidence comes from puranas..Hahahahahah

Talking about Punjabi history without saying Punjab LOL Chanakya has no reference or evidence but Chandergupta does. Greeks wrote about him. That’s contemporary. What’s not present is evidence if Chandergupta really ruled Magdha. Dubious affiliation of Palibhotta with patna doesn’t explain many other history holes. Chandergupta was Punjabi that is contemporary.

Chanakiya is a madeup fake charector

Spitzer manuscript has arthshastra copy

भाई ये वीडियो हिन्दी में आनी चाहिए

did you forget Megasthnies and his Indica? this is the contemporary evidance of Chandragupt maurya and it doesn't have any mention of chankya and kotilya.
