Understanding Indian Civilization 

6 would be.- destruction of old evidences, culture, scriptures, libraries like burning of Nalanda, stone carvings on architecture destroyed like old temples etc by Islamic invaders for uprooting the old society to build their own new Islamic society which can't be questioned due to non existent past.

U forgot the most important thing that education took place in temples and also written history and documents and temples were first target of Muslims . We had temples of hindu and buddist as far as Persia and middle east but can we find them ? No , we can't because they were destroyed by muslim and with them the history and records were too some temples which survived we can see having family records far back as 500 years .

I sadly agree. Too little has been invested in archeological digs in India. Although the difficulties you mentioned are most probably also a complicating matter. Although the political tensions between India and Pakistan have most probably also further complicated this matter (at least when it comes to the 'Harappan' civilization). But, with that said - and I'm not in any way biased here, or in any way condone the many inhumane acts of the British Raj - it wasn't 'only' the British Raj who have stolen a lot of invaluable artifacts from India...for ex. countless raids and incursions on Indian lands have come from several other different 'warlords' - for ex. from Iran, Afghanistan, central Asia, etc., etc.. They all did very much the same. Anyway - cheers from Sweden.

Also,Stupid Islamic Invaders destroyed so many precious evidences.

Aryan Dravidian theory has been debunked log ago.

@@kaushiksinha4673 Yes DNA analysis of the remains found at various Indus Valley sites show them to be genetically similar to the current population of Punjab and Sindh ; But what about the language groups. Indo Aryan languages are not at all related to Dravidian ones except for the many Sanskrit loan words. Vedic Sanskrit is closer to Avestan Persian than to the Tamil of the sangam period. So there must have been a migration from somewhere of the group which brought Sanskrit to India. As he said this group would have been a small one who would have filled the power vacuum caused by the fall of Harappan civilisation due to climatic or geographic reasons. Their language might have mixed with the ones of the larger population resulting in languages with an Indo Aryan base but evolved over time with many non Indo Aryan words. That is why classical Sanskrit is a whole different entity compared to Vedic Sanskrit. They are mutually unintelligible. This did not happen in the south as it was not the part of the original Aryavarta , which extended only till Maharashtra. So the Indo Aryan speakers might be genetically same as the Dravidian speakers , but their languages are different.

they are doing it willingly?

Aryans started settling after reaching Bactria. They didn't have Vedas yet. They just there and then saw cities, different social structures and started asking big questions about origin of world building philosophy. Earlier they had the same old myths of Eurasian herders & hunters-gaterers. They brought their genes & language in this region of world from far away with a few OP military inventions but only when they stopped and settled they started composing RigVeda and transition to other less military and nomadic lifestyle. That's why you can see many advanced complex Sanskrit religious terms with completely basic naturalist original nearly shamanic meanings in European languages. It's like transition between a simple word tree into nordic iggdrasil world tree, of Wiśnia 🍒 into Vishnu or widzieć to see, vision into Veda knowledge. Nearly all myths are about war because these were historical mile stones in every culture creation of falling. Like Roman story about being nearly wiped out by Celts what become their foundation & greed for betterment and survival. MegaBrotherhood but Poor sisters never mentioned.

Lol indian caste system was getting over rigidified from the get go, you can see traces of this trend starting in the Mahabharata itself. Still it was very fluid back then. Something between the 500bce - 500AD was the major cause of caste system getting rigidified. Britishers just put the final nail in the coffin of an already ongoing process. Mughals didn't have that much of a contribution in affecting the trajectory of the caste system. It's true that the original caste system was more merit based and eugenic.

@@notsocrates9529 I plan on incorporating some of my own theories as well, particularly in how I am of the position that: 1. Islamic Civilization began with the feudalistic Parthians in the first century or so. The wars against Rome by the Sassanians were their equivalent of the Crusades (as they were to Europe). The Rise of Islam was their reformation, with Mohammed as a cross between Luther and Cromwell. Islamic Civilization finally ended with Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt. 2. Latin America is not a distinct civilization, and is merely a unique appendage of the West 3. There was another high civilization that proceeded classical civilization that I call “Greco-Aegean” or “Heroic”. 4. Sumerian/“Hashemic” Civilization was a completely separate civilizational entity from that of Mesopotamia & the near east during the age of the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Israelites, and the Canaanites; the reason for their aesthetic and linguistic similarities is merely due to the incredible impact that the dead Sumerian culture had over the land by the time of “Irano-Semitic” civilization’s emergence around 1900 BC. This civilization then collapsed with the fall of the Achameniads. Just some ideas.

And Aryan Invasion theory was given by person who never travelled to india. Noone knew what india was.

Can you post it somewhere

Where to read it?

Please post it in this thread when you upload it.

@@jaydenchannak I would like to keep working on it before I show it to anyone (also it's in spanish). But basically: Before 400 BC. Socrates is never born, so western philosophy becomes very different. Pericles does not die in the plague of Athens and with his leadership and telling spartan slaves that they will be free, Sparta loses allies and have too many riots, thus, Athens wins the peloponesean war. The Delian league and Sparta becomes the Athenian Empire by 400 BC. 400 BC: Many academias are built. They would all teach different topics, but some would develop a good reputation for certain things. One academy in Athens would excell at teaching math and politics, another in Athens excell for their discoveries in architecture and so on. The concept of the atom from Democritus becomes relevant (Plato originally did not like the idea of the atom, so without him, the idea of the atom thrives). Democritus also invents the concept of "bastard and legitimate" knowledge (predecesor of the scientific method) and by the end of the century a philosopher like Francis Bacon would come up the actual scientific method. Also, Gorgias, a philosopher who wrote "On the non-existence", becomes more relevant and presents the idea that maybe nothing exists. This in turn, make people wonder about the void and encourages the idea of the number 0. They create the "language" of numbers. This helps them come up with arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, the method of exhaustion (which was already originated by a philosopher called Anthiphon). All of this leads to applications to architecture, astronomy and the economy. The empire would still have a democratic leader (choosen every 10 years), but it would also be ruled by mechantile classes, leading the way to early capitalism. In order to prevent a stigma against capitalism, all slaves that have a role related to money became a free citizen). They introduced the theory of miasma, invent the antikythera mechanism is invented early, they create trebuchets and normalize the "greek fire", use perlite (a local natural resource) to filter water. The Achaemenid empire takes control of Egypt as it did in our timeline, but this time the Athenians go to war with the Achaemenids because Egypt is an important exporter of food. The Athenians end up winning and end up conquering Egypt while they are at it. They also take part of the coast of Turkey. Some years later Macedonia (Alexander the Great is not born because of all the changes) goes to war with the achaemenids and accidentally attacks Athenian territory, thus getting in a war against the Athenians and losing, becoming a part of their empire. 300 BC: They create Blast furnaces that allows them to manufacture better iron and steel for their weapons and armor, create rotation harvests, heavy plow, watermills, learn more about human anatomy (for example the circulation system), planispheres, they create rails (they already kinda had one in our timeline with the Diolkos road) and even invent an aelopile (though the metal is still not good enough to use it, so they start to make many factories around the empire). They also release all male slaves (ancient Greece was pretty sexist by our current standards, so the female slaves would be freed in the next century). However, even though there still be a lot of sexism, a lot of women had to work in the factories because a lot of men went to fight Rome (kinda like what happen in WWI and WWII), so it would still be better than in our timeline at the time. They also go to war with a young Roman empire and defeats them, conquering Italy as well as the Ilyria (modern day Albania) and a bit more of what is noy Turkey. Also, they don't feel the need to fight Cartague since they don't mess with them, so the Cartague would still exist for many centuries here. 200 BC: They finally can make metal that is good enough for the aelopile, so we start seeing steambots and steamships and even a few railroads, as well as steam shovels for construction and agriculture. This, combined with with the manufacture of better weapons and armor, allows the Athenian Empire to conquer most of the balkans (using the Danube river as a natural barrier like the Romans did in our timeline) and even France (Carthage took control of the Iberian peninsula like in our timeline, so they would defeat the Gaulish tribes and take that territory before Carthage can). Also, they would not have gunpowder, but they would have very good crossbows and compound bows. Plus, on the american civil war, the south came up with a "steam gun" (that was more like a tank), that was pulled by horses and fired centrifugal rounds. It was not as accurate as weapons with gunpowder, but it was basic enough that one inventive athenian could make. Because of the concept of the atom, they would start to make microscopes, though they would only be able to see a 100x, since is their first time making them, so it would still take them one or two more centuries before they can make one good enough to see the microscopic. This would would also be the century were female slaves were freed, making slavery a thing of the past in the empire. And that is most of what I got. Once I go further, I keep trying to consider all the changes made by the butterfly effect. Aside from that, China would start to learn about steam technology and do research about it, a new religion would be created that united the empire that took into consideration all the changes that affected society (though I am still not sure about the details), the territory of Israel would still be a part of the Achaemenid empire (the jews would still exist in this timeline, but because the world would be different, their culture would "evolve" differently too). The Athenians and Carthaginians would discover north america and central america respectively. The Athenians would use a river connected to the great lakes similarly to how the french did in our timeline and because of their technology, horses and weapons, they would win against the native americans (not to mentions the diseases they would bring with them). Meanwhile the Carthaginians would try make business with the mayans but would also kill a lot of them by accident because of the diseases. The old world diseases would spread to south america, killing a lot the people there and forming a new city there. And so, a new pre-incaic empire with the knowledge of the previous societies would be born. However, after 1 or 2 centuries, and asian group of warriors similar to the Huns (but more technologically advanced) would invade Europe and a disease similar to the black plague would decimate the population of both Europe and China (Eurasia would be more connected in this timeline because of trade and war, so a plague would reach more people). Leaving the colonies in America to fend for themselves. Thanks for asking, by the way.

It is a culture of destruction - like Shiva. It is all bs. Also, his understanding about Islam and Muslim world area is lacking. Just to pint one thing: There is a massive difference between Islam and culture. Because Islam comes above cultures. It is not a culture and in some ways it is anti-culture on philosophical level. But, there is still manythings done in Muslim world that is not part of Islam that which Islam doesn't care about and/or things which is unIslamic that Islam tries to end. Depending on how knowledge the people are including religious and philosophical knowledge either up or down depending on the age and stiuation going on the bs in those cultures despair or comes into surface. Not all Muslims or so called muslims or done in Muslim world means necessarily it is part of Islam or accurate. That is not talking about that all humans sin too and that is why there is hell and punishments if proven in court. China might have the state stronger but it is far more complete and perfect beautiful than India. Hinduism is pure paganism and evil of the highest level and ignorance.

@@haroldfarquad6886 agree

India is a democracy so naturally there are a lot of disagreements, arguments and debates. It's also because we are a very diverse country. But underneath the differences, there are more similarities. We have a common history, our languages are similar to each other and our moral values are similar. Democratically, we generally agree on a few basic things: We all are patriotic - whether left or right neither side hates the country despite its flaws. What we do hate is our politicians. Our elections are fair and trustworthy - while some leftist extremists do claim that the BJP rigs the voting machines, the vast majority of people and all parties accept the results of the elections. There hasn't been any protest of any election being rigged. Although there may be some vote rigging at the lower levels. Our judiciary is independent: While we complain that justice is often delayed and sometimes denied, that the judgements are wrong etc, we don't disobey the courts and abide by their rulings. We trust that the judiciary will prevent government overreach and is beholden. And lastly, our military: We love the men and women who serve in our armed forces. They risk and sometimes give their lives for us so we are greatly indebted to them. There are some extreme leftists who hate the army - they are a small minority - 99% of Indians love the army. We don't accept any insults towards them.

Is it true that the Basque are the direct descendents of the first modern human settlers that replaced the Neanderthals in the Iberian region?

@@dozerthemongrel6630 Yes. Before the romans, the basques were probably the closest thing you would see from a old european settler.

He also ignored Nordics being mixed with I1 oldeuropeans what couldn't possibly not keep old words in that isolated parts of Europe. Also the whole premise that Indoeuropean language in European version is clean as original from steppe is stupid. PIE is a reconstruction made from comparing many later IE dialects from Europe and Asia and nobody knows if it ever existed in one form in one place. Also he doesn't inform that there was a first wave from Kurgan culture which didn't went far from eurosteppe but reached Greece and Poland - these herders weren't adapted to nongrasslands. What moved next was already influenced by these incorporated farmers of f.e. globular amfora culture. Corded ware was a next huge wave and it wasn't only R1b haplogroup moving anymore (contained also I2) and they were going into Europe already decimated by plague. So the IE language that was invading could already be rich with new elements. It was the same as Slavs migrating to Balcans after black death and not many Illyrian originals survived. Every conquered ethnicity with new elite which didn't have own writing system after phase of states being built in Europe lost their original culture and was integrated by reeducation. Examples are plenty as ExSlavs in northeast Germany or Hungary, Goths in Crimea and Spain, gothic Vandals in West Slavia. Basque is a really interesting remnant of earlier Europeans but genetically fully replaced so we don't know what ethnicity was replaced keeping older culture. From such fact somebody could claim these were different confederated nonIE speaking IE clans from steppe - how could you know if it's not like Hungarians? haha But in their case crazy thing is Basque isolation in mountains and insanely high blood rH- that causes blood conflicts and babies dying what suggests a biological mechanism that could affect translation of culture being primed for mother language & promoting maybe matriarchal type od culture. History of Albion island is a total 90%+ replacement of earlier king-gods bloodlines. What hints things as Christians seeing Aztec rituals or Romans being shocked of Phoenician rituals - "Look these savages are more savage than us, inbreeding brothers and sisters, breeding with them may be a curse & defective". And he also didn't mention that before IE ppl reached whole Europe people there were already wiping themselves on big scale every time bigger pots culture emerged replacing around 50% of conquered neighbours. And we can expect strong language from earlier time only from Iberian and Balcan refugia and that's exactly where we see one older language in each left. People were scarcer in Europe earlier and farmers who emerged in bigger nrs emerged exactly the warmer south with farming technology outnumbering hunters gathers from north fast. We usually always see something representative left from something big enough earlier by natural probability luck. Probably by luck fourth would be some remnant of these inbreeding god-kings Lang words integrated into dialects of Celtic in Scotland & Ireland.

Bruh this video is not fact, just some ignorant european way of looking at India. 1) There is no evidence to assert that the nobles in the Indus valley civlization looked middle eastern, and the commoners were dravidian as this video insinuates. Just because america has a racial and color based hierachy does not mean that every country shares that regressive thought. 2) There is no substantial evidence to ever prove that the "aryans" invaded India and opressed the dravidians. These were theories peddled by the british empire to divide the population and create internal conflict so that people are busy fighting each other. 3) In your indic civlization. map, you show regions like afghanistan, kashmir, western pakistan as part of the middle east? guess what, these regions were present in the mauryan empire. They were in the Indic sphere of influence. 4) You mention that the Indian nationalist does not like people from lower caste?? the president of India is a tribal woman, the PM Modi is a lower caste man. This is once again, nothing more than ignorance. There are 200+ million dalits in India, do you think any political party can survive in India if it does not appeal to the masses like dalits etc? The thing is, white people were racist toward black people. So they come to India and say, oh yeah sure, the light brown people surely opress the dark brown people. 5) You say that the mahabharata had a similar plotline to the Illiad? Well guess what 1) The mahabharata was wayyy longer than the Illiad. 2) The mahabharata was a war for the succession for the throne of Hastinapur. The Illiad was about some people stealing another man's wife, and provoking war. Where is the similarity? Also, you say that the Bhagwad gita is similar to the bible? wtf? The bible has clear commandments, and rules for being christian. The Bhagwad gita is a philosophical discourse on the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. It talks about the concept of dharma, or duty. It has no "commandments" about being Hindu per say. You yourself said, you dont know much about Indian civilization.

@@deku006 Aryan invasion is a Myth unless one thinks 3 to 4 centuries of migration would be considered as an invasion. DNA tests are proving that

I think it would entirely depend on the nature of the contact and the civilization. Would it be conquest through arms like e.g. in the Independence Day movies, conquest/near genocide through plague like in the UFO games or a peaceful contact like Vulcans landed on Earth in the Star Trek franchise?

something interesting to consider is that there might not be any extraterrestrial civilizations for a while. you have to remember that the universe is currently very young. we are orbiting a yellow star, which has a quick lifespan compared to red giants. its likely alien life will evolve on those planets orbiting red suns as they have more time to get life and make civilizations and what not. if anything, it will likely be humans and our great great ancestors that are the ones who encounter other civilizations which would be primitive and likely in a pre industrial society a more interesting video would be how would human nature and society react to this? would we take the darwinistic approach and say we need this planet's resources and basically become the combine from half life 2? or would be try to enlighten the civilizations and make them into a client states (or, client planet i guess)? or would we decide that we should leave the civilization alone to grow on its own? honestly it would super interesting to see a future human race decide how to go about these differences and how we should deal with it.

it would go down the same way the colonization of the americas went down imo

It would be like Europe visiting Africa, Asia and America. It would be like Jesus, Bhuda and A god king. It would be like America unleashing the power of the sun. It would be like the Mongol conquest of Eurasia. It would be like nature channel, they watch quietly.

Read “the 3 body problem” does a good job building a world that has made contact with aliens

This video is balant propaganda

Because of cultural and religious revolution in mediaeval period I can say!

@@prakxyzhow so?

Read Greek traveler 'Megasthenes' account of his travel to South India you will get the real rich economical and Political history of India. Most of current information is falsely translated hate propaganda by western missionaries or East Indian company terrorists who wanted to loot Indians and wrote with ulterior motives.

​@@gm6393 he's very inaccurate about india here. He reads western scholars who have their own biased views regarding india without actually reading the Indian texts and this guy doesn't see it from the indian perspective. Highly biased.

Thanks for posting that.

Not greater than the Abrahamic religious surely?

@@nomanor7987 That argument is kinda debatable depending on the context, Dharmic/Indian religions directly originated from India while Abrahamic religions originated from 2 different regions hence can't be attributed to a specific country

@@nomanor7987 Yes and no.

India's political influence is much greater than you portray here, you should research more

@@gm-so2ld y’all Indians need to stop making shit up to make yourself feel good

He is just repeating everything Western-centric scholars have already said. They know very little about Indian society, history or culture. They just see Indians as a frozen-stagnant ancient society and study us like they study the ancient greeks.

No it doesn't. In fact, the river that "India" is based off isn't even inside India, lol.

@@GrigRP If you are referring to the Indus (Sindhu) River, then you are mistaken. The river does originate in the modern-day Republic of India and flows out to the sea through the modern-day Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Neither of these two states existed back then. It was just one continuous civilization. Our native name was Bharatvarsh or Jambudvipa. Foreigners called as Al Hind, Hindusthan, India, Yindu, Tianzhu etc.

@@GrigRP It is based inside India flowing through Ladakh and Kashmir.

@@krishnkant9477 It's not based inside India. The origin is in China. Stop with the scams.

Yes, because ports. And it wasn't exactly harmony and all roses.

Kerala pwoli alle 🔥

@@arunjohny pwoli aayirunnu pandu but then communists took power. Thrissur Kochi belt had some of the oldest banks in India which funded spice trade but none of the scaled up after independence because of communists. Kerala is a huge case lost potential.

@@harshjain3122 It was harmonious. Look at Syrian Christians in Kerala for example. Their cultural practices have been perfectly blended with the brahmin and Nair practices. There is practically no religious violence in Kerala. Cochin Jews are one of the very few Jewish communities across the world where Jews have never faced persecution. Kerala was a big deal historically. Vasco da Gama didn't sail seeking India. He came seeking Kerala because that was where black pepper originated. On that note even Columbus was seeking a route to Kerala.

@@TheRishijoesanu that's cuz indians viewed Abrahamic religions like how Nordic folk religions viewed Christianity in UK(when they invaded them) i.e As something smaller than their base identity i.e 'if my whole lineage was hindu/pagan since the beginning of it's existence how would one dip in the water remove all of that from me?' That's the reason, and it's pan India. The feeling later went away cuz one of the two aforementioned civilization vanished and ceased existing. And Jews are talented merchant class. We always loved intellectually talented peeps. Kerela and Bengal more so(also historically more rich, casteist)

Y’all cringe Jeez just accept the fact caste system existed instead of making shit up to make yourself feel good

@@harlowida Who said caste system didn't exist, it did but it is not as simplistic as it is being potrayed. To determine a caste birth alone is not a criteria there are a thousand of rules to determine caste stated in the Mimansa Sastra of Jaimini. And I have already provided enough material to read what caste is all about.

>Preservation of people's? What?

@@demun6065 4000 year native reservations thing. They keep sub-cultures alive despite the proximity.

@@purpledevilr7463 yes, but it's via the caste system...

@@demun6065 yeah… I can respect the results if not agree with the methodology.

@@purpledevilr7463 fair enough

How cool is that!

Wow, awesome

Thank you! We should go back to using these names - they sound so cool!

Jai hind bro :)

This channel is insane. I literally have to put off watching these videos for a few days until I have 100% focus/free time, or else I miss all the juicy details. There's no watching 'WhatIfAltHist' while cooking dinner, for example, as there is with other RU-vidrs... Because ever second is jam-packed with fascinating info. Tried to get my mates into this channel, but they're too stupid to appreciate the genius of Rudyard.

Yes, they are called trithiya-prakriti and are mentioned in many ancient Indian texts

That's because what people do in private is of no concern but Abrahamic religion take offence with that as there are specific commandments against LGBT in Bible/qoran.

Lol does anyone see his bias,He shows other civilization as barbarians/inferiors,If he comes to Europeans he says they were enlightened and superior.

@@dharmrakshak6735 ya, we should be very careful while watching videos like these. He hasn't even cited a single source. He just wants us to know that he has read 1000s of pages - source - trust me bro? Also that meme at the start was so cringe, lol, whatsapp forward vibes.

@@kap. I am glad newer generations aren't just simps for whites as used to be earlier. These people, the RU-vidrs themselves are soaked into propaganda fed to them by their government and establishment so no offense to them but Indians gotta be careful.

Bill Wurtz history of the world?

@@arunjohny Yes indeed.

There was no invasion it's migration.

There was no invasion, Sanskrit is an Indian language.

@@YashSharma-zp8yu denial.

Yes I was searching for this comment. Dude why there is nobody he said a debunked theory in his video and promoted propaganda 😡

But Caste in India influences who you marry. This creates genetic bottlenecks .

@@nomanor7987 not if the population bred like rats. You do realize for 5k castes we have 1.7 billion people. Interbreeding and marriage within families happen but are avoided thankfully. I'm not removing the fact that the caste system WILL one day catch up to us haha, or even that its an outdated, obsolete system for the country preventing it from reaching its full potential, but ah well...

@@nomanor7987 this happened far later when the system became rigid.

@@clownsama2278 what you mean by rats, population explosion happened because of the land was fertile and we had rise to eat like china.

@@clownsama2278 also caste is nothing but a mixture of varna and jati system being misunderstood as being one. And there weren't 5k anything

Ha

Yep, rightly said bro. This guy is just spreading the false narratives written by indophobic western authors.

Indian fvck-boi spotted

This video made it pretty clear. Boo hoo cry me a river and do your own research poopskin

Out of curiosity, how is ancient India usually portrayed? Also, what points where inaccurate?

@@RealLifeIronMan I've not finished the video yet, but one glaring mistake is the name of Chnadragupta's mentor - his name was Chanakya, not whatever he said (sounded like count-chila) Edit: he said Kautilya, I jus didn't understand the accent lol

@@RealLifeIronMan quite a few, the biggest mistake is that he's trying to understand india and our culture from a western perspective. Mostly telling what the West tells about india while here and there referencing some indian vedic texts.

@@RealLifeIronMan caste itself is misunderstood not his mistake it's misunderstood by even indians. Another mistake is about the aryan invasion stating it completely right while it's more nuanced than that because no invasion happened. More of a migration or assimilation and vedic culture originated in India.

@@Naveen-tq7cg According to wikipedia he is identified as both Chanakya and Kautilya

I swear he done Ethiopia. Was maybe in a "countries that could be super powers" or something like that

I'm pretty sure he sights his sources at the beginning. He has a goodreads account that catalogs all the books he's read, so you can look that up.

Nepal and India are like Austria and Germany. Both have the same culture and language but different countries.

@@gocool_2.0 Definitely different countries, but the Nepal terai and the Nepal hills are wildly different culturally. The Nepal terai shares a lot more with India with large Maithili and Hindi speaking populations, strong Hindu traditions and obviously easy historical access from India since it's all flat. The hills have historically had a distinct cultural identity with many more isolated groups and languages (Limbu, Newari, Magar, Rai, etc.)

@@gonegoro makes sense. The border of tibetan and the Indic folks.

Nepali king wanted to be part of india but indian PM refused nepal is india in every aspect but the difference is it was never conquered by British but instead became an independent vessel state

Nepal is a cool country where Buddhism came from and many great people and monuments.

this is not a good source
