Dear sir, please make such a video on the southern Indian rulers. So many dynasties to look forward to... the Cholas, the Cheras, the Pandyas, the Satvahanas, the Chalukyas, the Pallavas, the Bahmanis, the Vijayanagara empire... fascinating stuff.
North Indians don't care. They will never allow South to become prominent in India. Be it history, be it linguistics, they're making sure the destruction will happen overtime, slowly but surely
Hi Amith I'm from South Africa 62 years old, I must I did not know so much about our Indian sub continent, Indians are very tollerant and that's why the rest took advantage of their cool character, the saying is what "goes around comes around" and the fact that you brought this history forward , it's an alightenment to modern people, I really appreciate your work, which is perfectly applaudable, sensible and interlectual, I agree with all your hard work and keep it coming to educate today's society. Thank you my son, You are blessed, may your social media reach every part of this world. Made me wiser. From this side of the world. JAISHREERAAM. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Amit. 20 years after India's Independence, the period I was schooled, history was not taught diligently. I have missed so much and you have indeed raised so much curiosity and pride in India. To go forth, one must know whence one came. Thanks again.
Good informative video but honourable mentions are - 1.) Harshavardhana Empire (606-647 AD) - Vardhana Dynasty; Defeated Alchon Huns 2.) Ahom Empire (1228-1826 AD) Nort Eastern Part of India 3.) The South Indian Kingdoms during the Medieval Period - (Sathavahanas, Chalukyas, Cholas, Pandyas) 4.) Chatrapathi Shivaji and Maratha Empire (1674-1818 AD) 5.) Rajendra Chola and Chola empire+overseas conquest (907-1215 AD) We would like to learn about the history of technological growth in India.
If we had the ways of teaching like this in our educational system!? The school life would be even more beautiful and interesting and the competition for the civil services would be even more harder !?🙏
For the first time, I saw a teacher justifying the facts in the most acceptable manner. I loved the way you dealt with the Vedas, Upanishads and Sanatan (Hinduism). Really, we need expert teachers like you.
19:00 He was already a Buddhist before the Kalinga war! No Buddhist text links his conversion to the war. On the contrary to that, there is a minor rock edict that says Ashoka had converted to Buddhism more than two years earlier than the Kalinga war!
@@p.m.rangarajan1055 There is no evidence for his conversion after Kalinga war, On the contrary to that, He asked for violence against lawbreakers even after converting to Buddhism as per Shahbaz Garhi rock edicts!
Yes, you are right, I too have read that somewhere. Actually Ashoka couldn't realize the teachings of buddhism until he witnessed how terrible could be the path of violence. After the Kalinga war he took lessons about Buddhist ideology once again ( probably from Upagupta) and decided quitting violence.
Amit Sengupta- your way of explaining Indian History is excellent. We hear so much about “ old Chinese culture of 2000 years” Some more about ancient Indian culture needs to be articulated in the Western world so the world will know that Indian Civilization is just as old- if not older Sydney Desouza- A Goan Indian American
Thanks a lot sir, We would love to Contribute for your generous work. Bcz in some Education channels where there is less Knowledge and more trash,they ask for Membership and courses But here you offer us Free Quality Content,we would love to Contribute for this
I love your quick overview of the development of Indian history, society and religion. It would be good to have an anthology of texts to read along with a historical analysis of these texts for further reading.
Great video. India is so ancient and often times gets forgotten from world history. It is one of the great nations today for sure and will only continue to grow.
you should be a history teacher.. many students will be thankful for your you.. when i was a student i have no interest in history but as i grow old i am fond of learning things how the world changed based on civilisation advancement.. how different culture differs from each other and which culture is much more humane and which one is sadistic..
These 84 dislikes are from the jealous coaching institutes and the youtube channels who spread fake knowledge. Amit please keep this good work going on.
Yeah relatable .... This is the truth ... A lot of coaching institutes keep a watch on guys like Amit Sir just to dislike their knowledgeable videos ... We can see how easy and appropriate information we get from videos of Amit sir 🙏🙏🙏 ... Keep going Sir
Hello, I am a first-time viewer of your channel. I must have watched quite many videos over the years, documentaries by reputed channels even..none of them come close to how eloquently put together this video is. I must also appreciate your voice modulation and speed, it helped greatly in focusing on the topic. The times that you revisited a certain point without making it sound repetitive was a tad bit genius. Please continue creating such work. Thank you for all the time you must have put into making this. Best wishes.
Dravidian languages existed in ancient before Aryan arrival from Arctic and Persian regions.Ptagcrit sanscrit,poly languages are admixture of Indian ancient Dravidian languages. Persian and sanscrit are one and the same,besides Greek ,Latin,French,and German. Sanscrit developed by incorporating indegenous Dravidian tongues.
Greetings Mr Amit Sengupta.. I am indian origin from Hong Kong and a big fan of your work which reflects detailed explanation and the efforts which you put in each and every video of yours.. kudos!!! I recently came across some valuable information in terms of Indian ancient history, thought of sharing it out here. There has been a complex problem in Indian chronology arise from a misunderstanding of the Epochs of Ancient Indian Era. The Kurtakoti copper plate dated SAKA 530 referes to a total solar eclipse occurred on 9th May 53 BCE in karnataka which conclusively establishes that the SAKA era commenced in 583 BCE whereas, the SAKANTA era commenced in 78 CE. Historian Mistakenly mixed up these two epochns which let to a chronological error of 660 years. Out of 2 Contemporary Copper Plate Evidence found at Pranaveshvara Temple (Talaguda), 1 plate is dated in the SAKA ERA whereas, another is dated inthe SAKANTA er. Apart from this Era of 660 years, later JAIN historians inadverently identified Ujjian King Chandragupta, a disciple of Bhadrabahu with the Maurya King Chandragupta which made Mahivara, a contemporary of Buddha. In reality, Buddha attained Nirvana 675 years earlier before the year of Mahavira Nirvana. Puranas and the Burmese inscriptions clearly indicate that Buddha attained Nirvana in 1864 BCE. Recent Excavations at Lumbini and the radiocarbon samples collected from the Trench C5 at the centerof the buddhist shrine at Lumbini indicates an earliest date of 1681 BCE. Thus, there is a Chronological error of 1380 YEARS in dating of Buddha Nirvana due to mixing up of two different epochs of Saka and Sakanta eras, along with the mistaken identification of Chandragupta, the disciple of Bhadrabahu. The dating of Buddha Nirvana in 1864 BCE also validates the traditional date of Adi Sankaracharya in the 6th Century BCE. - Hope this info might help ppl who are amid history lovers including self. Having said that i always look forward to all your outstanding videos...cheers !!!!
You might be right that Christianity wasn't as big in India until the Europeans came, but there were some Christians in India much earlier, possibly close to earliest days of Christianity (the "St. Thomas Christians" trace themselves back to 52 CE,when the apostle Thomas supposedly landed in India), and these Christians do not follow the European denominations of Christianity.
Christianity isn't there at all India. Europeans came and they slowly spread Christianity. This video clearly tells Muslims and Christians are not at all from this country. If you dig out the roots their ancestors all are santanis.
@@boorlasanjeev2909 how about Hinduism? There was no concrete defination of what Hinduism is during that period. Indo Aryan Vedic people originated from central Asia. Christianity originated from Middle East as well but it first reach European countries and American and then to India.
@@TheMark167 That's what historians wanted. In those times whoever goes and conquers a new place the first thing they do is to destroy the history of that period. Clearly, see who named Hindustan it matches the name with other countries Afghanistan, khajakistan, Turkmenistan etc. After that who gave the name INDIA what did they do. There were nearly 600 princely states means 600 kings and queens literally but now there are none.
सर् आप जो पढ़ा रहे हैं उसमें आपका बहुत ही शानदार मर्म छुपा हुआ है,को मर्म वास्तविक ज्ञानी को बनावटी ज्ञानी से अलग करता है, मुझे गर्व और प्रशन्नता है वो बात आपमे है और उसे आप सिखा रहे हैं, मैं जो कह रहा हूँ वो आप समझ रहे होंगे, अपने ज्ञान और अपनी परंपरा पर आपके जैसे लोग ही प्रकाश डालकर उसे नवजीवन दे सकते हैं, आपका बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद।
Excellent presentation of Indian History. In this presentation at the age of 85 now in the US, I have been able to understand the history of India that I was not aware of in my 50 earlier years living in India. Thank you sir. Yes I too noticed that you missed the Marathas from around Poona ( where I was in Engineering College) & being a Goan Roman Catholic, yes Roman Catholic Christianity came thru the Portuguese & Goa, however Christianity came to India in the first century AD when St Thomas, one of Christ 12 Apostles came to India on a trading ship that landed in present Kerala & are called St Thomas Christians. Sydney Desouza ‘Prabhu’
Thank you so so much sir. The way you explain all the things in simple manner, it is just amazing. Please make a very comprehensive video on world history and post independent Indian history so that we do not have to look for any other resources

What a commitment on subject, very beautifully explained, very interesting way you are explaining, awesome lecturers from you sir. Thank you sir. It's very helpful for those who don't know Hindi🙏
Dear sir, I am wondering, how did you miss the Marathas in the video. 27 years of Mughal-Maratha wars, 3rd battle of Panipat, All Anglo-Maratha wars. With so much influence in the north right from the deccan region and the last Hindu Confederacy. I expected atleast a mention, especially after the bhakti movement part.
What a remarkable feat covering more than three and a half thousand years of Indian history on 36 minutes I will watch this video again and again Marvelous Absolutely Marvelous!
Thanks for the video. I have been curious about Indian history, I would appreciate any suggestions of reading for an English speaker, particularly concerning Ancient and Classical Indian civilization.
It needed atleast 15 classes to get such an idea about this but u gave it to us in 36:56..thank you alot sir.. Your videos has became must watch for all of us.
There aren't any better videos on the internet than on this channel. Every second spent here is worthwhile. Cheers to the good work you doing. Thankful and indebted 🙏
Thanku so much sir for this timeline..will help a lot in revision and summarising..👍🙏keep making such videos..plz make course on geography optional as my optional is geography🙏👍
History and timelines been very confusing for me, thank you sir for explaining in such a simplest manner, your way of teaching is just incredible hats off to the hardwork you put in making the videos so helpful and understandable. I hope all the good things happen to you sir for all the hardwork you put for us 👍
Sir, just wanted to ask you that do you have any course of yourself on geography optional for upsc.... Or else if you would make one then please go ahead. we eagerly want to learn more from you, and a complete cover of the syllabus in your style of explaining things would be a boon for us.
Sir, your style is precise and such expertise in teaching within a few minutes 👌🏽 Did not expect such blatant misrepresentation of facts and bias in ancient part, from you sir. Apart from this. Great crash course as usual.
बहुत दिनों से इंतजार कर रहा था इस वीडियो का। Most awaited vdo for me, is this one, not MIRZAPUR. Thank you Quadrillion times. Thank you sir , thank you.
Been searching for the exact content to understand ancient History crystal clear. Thank yu for such an Amazing video sir. May yu succeed in everything in do.
Sir, Vedic era was the Golden age of the Mother EARTH and its precious ENVIRONMENT. God bless to Return back the same ERA to protect the EARTH and its Environment save from the Mass destructive and Nuclear weapons and the other pollutions. Sir, Thanks for the" BEST " video.
Maratha Sivaji Kingdom almost eliminated the Mughals before the rise of Britishers .I surprise why you have not covered Maratha Kingdom even though its higlights of ancient ,medieval and modern .Maratha kingdom is important era in the indian history
It's because history books by Khangress government written by Marxists and Islamists do not mention much about Marathas. They only glorify Medieval Jihadis.
Late but not lost in the jungles.... Thanks sir for making the path of my journey easier... A great teacher with a unique way of teaching the most complicated things in the most convenient manner. I look forth more from you. May the Lord bless you with a long, healthy and happy life.
I wonder how could anyone dislike this kind of a video This is one of the best useful video which I came across for my UPSC preparation Thank you so much
🙏 Respected Sir kindly accept my deepest gratitude to you. I humbly bow down to your knowledge, pedagogy and selflessness. I wish the best of health and well-being for you.
If you take any mighty kingdom(The Mauryas,The Marathas,The Mughals etc etc) from Ancient and medieval India, you will see that they expanded their kingdom completely in the north(even till present day Afg/Iran) and even till southern karnataka but they did not conquer present day Kerala and southern Tamil nadu. Why is it so? I have a Genuine doubt so it will be really helpful if someone can help me get the answer. Thank you
Amit, the way you explain things , your way of presentation , articulation of data - Everything is Amazing.. I wished if there would be more such people like you in our Educational System.. Probably we would be giving loans to US & China !!! Superb Work !! Big Fan !!
Sir, If I had a Social Teacher like you, I wouldn't have wasted my brain by inserting such Trash through Mugging up scientific Names of those Kings. You are a Gem of our Nation Sir. What a divine voice!! God Bless you more and more to Help us(Yes, Selfish).
@Gaun Yin There is no conclusive evidence to prove that he wasn't already a Buddhist. A minor rock edict mention points to him being a follower of Budha. Some say he was horrified by the killings, but for someone who killed all his half- brothers and fought a civil war for 4 long years and invaded Kalinga in his 8th regnal year, this seem like an overstretch. Also, no where he mentioned about the regret in any inscription in th east. Only place, where he warned the tribes to not force him to take extreme measures is in the western side....Also, he didn't become a pacifist either as portrayed by many( Ashokvandana mention him killing many Ajivikas and Jainas).
@Gaun Yin Strange that while constructing a narrative Buddhist sources( Sri lankan) are used but that too selectively! They seem reliable while writing about Shungas though! That being said, didn't he fight a civil war ? Did he not threaten to use violence against law breakers in the same edict where he also regret using violence but would Do it again if need be(Shehbazgarhi)? Didn't Ashoka invade Kalinga in 262 BC whereas we know from minor rock edicts that Ashoka had converted to Buddhism more than two years earlier(minor ones being the earier than the Major Edicts). Also, name one Buddhist text which link his conversion to the war? Wasn't his transformation gradual rather than sudden as he seems to have had links with Buddhists for a decade before his conversion? Which Rock edict deny this?
@Gaun Yin I don't recall him apologizing to people of Kalinga where he waged the war if one goes by Dhauli inscription. Also, I never said that he hadn't changed after Kalinga war. It's the assertion that he became Buddhist AFTER the War need be supported by more vidences, which so far are lacking. His Rock edicts don't establish that hence relying on available records even though they belonged to posterity. Those very evidences were also used to construct a narrative that Shungas persecuted Buddhists. As to usage of Sanskrit and Maurayas following heterodox sects,I think that's a common knowledge. So, I still by my comment that he Buddhist even before but after the war he focussed more on consolidation of empire and with age took religion seriously as evidenced by his erecting stupas and edicts that called on people to live peacefully and other such general instructions.
