This is the BEST biographical and historical account Of Genghis Khan and the period. It is the standard by which Western Historians should be measured and compared. Outstanding Academic Excellence. Thank You
@@mtarkes oh i dont have any experience in history but i generally get the immpression that he started out as a shamanist tengrist and perhaps became an agnostic athiest eventually. He was tolerant towards all religion equally and sought after and invited many scholars at the end of his life. Common teachings of buddhism however has always been the spoken and folk wisdom spread among Mongolians for many many years.
As the video said the secret history of Mongolia gives detailed insight into his campaigns and reasons behind it. Also I heard from an inner Mongolian actor that the CCP bans at least half the episodes from any historical series depicting Chinggis khans or the Mongols. History can be so fragile and influential. Hope the future holds better history for all of us.
As a Mongolian, I must admit that I am amazed by your outstanding and coherent explanation. I am proud that our ancestors were men of principals and respected different cultures. Cheers!
Exactly. Coupled even with few army, any territory can easily be captured by their raging army. But dat is a mystery for India. Buddhism is one of the reason.
Gengis Khan clearly believed in KARMA, cornerstone of Hinduism & Buddhism. Greetings from Indian in Canada 🙏 No one cared about Hinduism outside India for most parts but Buddhism ☸️ had won the hearts of millions all around the subcontinent, anyone with basic knowledge of Buddhism knows how it spread like wildfire as it resonated with the traders & merchants, who were often rational & hardworking, as opposed to Hinduism was crippled by cast system empires by the Brahmins that time. Hinduism also has a long history of greed & rivalry, lot that have been wiped from history similar to western historian, which is never seen under Buddhist national. The great emperor of India - Ashoka is a great example who was one of India’s most ferocious conquerer but took refuge in Buddhism in later parts & is also the reason we have come to learn about Buddhism today. The Hindu & Mughal rulers and ensured to wipe off Buddhism from the face of India as it empowered every being. Regardless, fascinating narration. Please keep up, people seeking truth would always appreciate this perspective.
@@abro99 your comment reeks of anti Hindu hatred, keep ur anti Hindu fake history with u. No one cared about Hinduism outside India? There was a time when Hinduism was followed all over this planet, anyone who knows real history knows that Buddhism never spread anywhere like a "wild fire" at all except in places like Srilanka, Tibet and Thailand, these countries too were Hindu Before, Hindus never had a caste system but a Varna system, the caste system was started by UK, Varna system Never discriminated, you will never understand Varna system. Buddhism never resonated with any merchants because these merchants were hardworking and rational hence didn't agree with the teachings of Buddhism, Buddhism never spread in India or the rest of the planet except the countries I mentioned because no one agreed with the nonsensical illogical teachings of Buddhism that is why people all over the planet are leaving Buddhism and converting to Hinduism. Hinduism was never "crippled" ever, it was flourish more and more. Buddhism has hate, rivalry and greed always, Hinduism never had all this, Hinduism on the other always taught peace, harmony, tolerance unlike Buddhism. Buddhism taught to spread hate towards other religions, Your anti Hindu comment is an example, that is why Buddhists have always persecuted people of other religions everywhere, that is why Buddhists annihilated countless rohingyas Muslims and Rohingya Hindus. Buddhists annihilated And persecuted Hindus in Bhutan. Srilankan Buddhists annihilated and persecuted Hindus and Muslims in Sri Lanka. Hinduism is the most tolerant Religion. Buddhism teaches intolerance and violence against others. King Ashoka never converted to Buddhism nor did he preach Buddhism, that's another lie started by communists and Buddhist Historians. Hindus or Muugals never eradicated Buddhism, the fact is no one in India accepted Buddhism because Buddhism is full of nonsense and nonsensical teachings with no logic or spirituality.

I also understand he had daughters, 5 of them. They had interesting lives, and after his death I have heard there was a day on field where they were punished - basically for being his daughters. Is this true? It was told to me they were married into other cultures for alliance. But from what I understood from what I was being told was, after their Father's and others death - those cultures fell to China. Not sure if that is true. Not sure if any of it is. Did he have daughters?
As an Indian, I hope everyone gets to visit the worlds most beautiful country - Mongolia! I spent 3 weeks there recently, traveled from the Gobi through the steppe to the Siberia border, my favourite experience so far!
RE "fancy editing effects", less face time and more map time would be an improvement. Also, to fully counter the "reductionist view", information and archeology that examines the daily lives of the people pre and post Genghis (and his general) in the conquered lands is needed. How was trade affected? Were there successful administrations of the laws; what form and relative load were taxes? What cultural load was imposed by Genghis outside of his affinity for Hindu Buddhist traditions? What prevented him from establishing succession to maintain the empire? And finally the backbone of the "reductionist" narrative -- his psychological terror tactics prior to or after invasion -- must be addressed.
This was a beautiful video, and you are a fabulous history teacher. I'm going to study deeper into this subject. As a 70 year old American, I've come to realize how modest and weak our history instruction of the countries behind the Iron Curtain, and the East in general, were. It was almost as if they didn't exist. And unless you were a history major in college, it might be a rare elective course that brought you into contact with that history. Thank you for this, Teacher.
@@elpacho....9254 Thanks for your reply. I'm aware of the fact, and meant no offense. I was speaking from the POV of a member of the Western Hemisphere, as opposed to Eastern.

Indian is brilliant, resonant and unforgettable. I’ve always believed that Indian was the center of civilization 10-20000 years hence. To trace humanities steps out of Africa heading north as determined, then the route was either western or an eastern path. I find it hard to believe that 100,000 years ago mankind would continue through expedition, that easterly flow snd eventually onto North America. Yet so it continues. And now both India and China have similar populations, but how different is their societal foresight, edification and spiritual connectivity??
@@pty8s The center of civilization 2.0 was Sumeria /Mesopotamia in c. 3000 BC when Nimrod was the greatest, mightiest hunter/king after the Great Flood in 3298 BC. India could not have had existed then because the destruction of the tower of Babel (built by Nimrod, in modern-day Iraq) did not happen until 2850 BC, which resulted in new languages emerging suddenly after the event. Moreover, only then new tribes were founded and the approximate 12 million people at the time began to spread throughout the world to form new nations. Sumerian influence still exists today with satanic /pagan worships prevailing and one of its greatest symbols is the obelisk which can be found notably at Vatican City and Washington D.C.
I’m an isiZulu speaking African from Africa, this just brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this. Every source of information about Ghengis Khan portrays him as a blood thirsty warlord, something they never do to Alexander

You had me at "The less we say about our Indian historians the better, their attitude is like, why should we talk about someone who didn't harm India, why should we glorify someone who didn't hurt India". You summed up all of Indian "eminent historians" in one sentence. 🙏
I grew up learning history with a western narrative and perspective. Even a majority of our Indian history taught was on Mughals. Its quite a revelation and refreshing to hear from an Indian historian. Thank you.
As a child I use to admire almost all 'the greats' - for 1 quality I thought was possessed by all - How to manage mass? Today I got much better insight abt Chengis Khan. Much better human than some of "The Greats"..... Evn the Doc abt Chengis in NG also didn't quite highlighted the Good side of Chengis.
This was definitely true in the past. However, in Western universities, there is now increasing guilt over European colonialism. Scholars here are starting to present alternative points of view, and not just stick with a Judeo-Christian bias. As a Buddhist, I am fully aware that Buddhism cannot be properly understood from a Christian or Muslim perspective. Right or wrong, English is the dominant scholarly language on Earth, and I can only access English language information. Fortunately, scholars (like The Indian Interest) from around the world are presenting their non-Western perspectives in English. I already know my culture's perspective, I want to understand other perspectives.

Everytime there is a video in history you Tamils have to push Tamil Nadu into everything. Stop your Tamil Supre ma cist pro paganda and lies. Genghis Khan had no relationship with Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is far away from Mongolia.

Thats why you'd see Hinduism and it's monuments in all these countries. They majorly ruled coastal areas.

As a Indian I have respect for Mongolian for teaching lessons to muslim world and make them feel the same pain they give to non muslims nations. Jai genghis baba
@@missourimongoose8858 Chinggis Khaan was not committed to any organized religion but used to practise Shamanism, which was the spiritual belief of Mongols before Tibetan Buddhism was introduced. But many of the ancient Mongols’ spiritual beliefs had similar elements of Tibetan Buddhism.
I’ve said this for a decade. GK was misunderstood. I’ve read so many historical texts where this ridiculous reductionist view is propagated. GK was far less barbaric than most conquerors. He was also far more tolerant and organised. Great video 🙏🏻 you’ve got yourself a new fan.
@Arjun Kanugo two main things I learn when I read about Genghis Khan history was meritocracy and diplomacy. He choose his men well regardless of their backgrounds and practices diplomacy better than most kings in history of mankind.
Yeah there were definitely some good points about him buy you can't just ignore all the bad stuff he did. He was still a rutheless and brutal ruler who caused millions of unnecessary deaths to innocent people simply to further his own cause

i am from Nigeria. We've suffered from fault-lines of disunity for decades; fault-lines engineered by the British colonial power when the empire was putting together for economic purposes, the pieces that make up Nigeria today. Hearing about a similar divide and rule strategy against the Mongol tribes by China just brings it home for me. today there are deep divisions in Nigeria motivated politically at home and controlled by foreign interests. But I also see Nigerians fighting on to stay together under the new organically grown brand "Naija". However we are sorely in need of a powerful unifying figure (male or female) who can create for us what GK created for his people, uniting and forge them into a single national entity. Thank you so much for this presentation, Abhijit. Most informative and inspiring.
Your society is not alone bro. They did the same in India too. However the long past history and the continuous Civilisation that goes thousands of years in the BCE era certainly helped India. Honestly India is a name given by Greek scholars in BCE. The Persians called us Hindus. What we call ourselves the name of the land from thousands of years is Bharata. And the people are called Bharatiyas.
@@moefinesse9878 first of all, we do not have thousands of languages in Nigeria. Secondly, does the existence of multiple languages in a country make it less of a country? I think not.

It was nothing to do with a yogi or guru. It happened while visiting a community of people with learning disabilities as we were trading stories and songs about Indian and Scots cultures. Thanks for your hard work and a big hello from Scotland. 👋🏴
Thank you so much!! Brilliant and I definitely hope it goes viral if it hasn't already 😃. My PhD is in philosophy I am no indianologist although I do teach seminars in Hinduism Buddhism and some of the Chinese traditions at my university (Mississippi State University). I wholeheartedly agree that Mongolian culture is very much underrepresented for the historiographical reasons that you most succinctly and eloquently expressed. I knew of Genghis Khan's sense of modesty and honor, Not to mention his organizational and military genius, combined of course with the unsurpassed equestrian might of Mongolian archers (basically born on horseback) but some of the details you described about his reasons for declaring war are quite an eye-opener. In short you might say that he adopted in practice much of what is described by scholars of war as just war theory. Thank you so much again!! I will definitely share this with my students.
What I want to know as a career horse person is, did the Mongols, GK maybe, invent stirrups? Stirrups changed the way riders could use arrows and spears and sword. That era's nuclear weapon.
As a retired university professor I must complement you on your presentation and knowledge of the Mongols and Genghis Khan. I’v always had a fascination for ancient cultures..you have sparked that interest..we never stop learning...thank you,
Genghis Khan was the the manliest man to ever walk this earth. And not because he was extremely powerful. But because he knew when and where to use that strength.
I have a degree from the State University of New York in History. But it seems I was indeed misinformed about Genghis Khan, in what very little I was taught about him. Thank you very much for the very thorough and insightful treatment of the subject of history's greatest conqueror.

@Ranjit Tyagi It's western propaganda my friend, this is what happens when Europe and westerners dictate history, do you know Genghis Khan is seen as a barbarian and ruthless conquerer in the west?

Just like Mohammad, Temmujin created many things in society that are part of the foundations of Western societies to this day. There are many professors who dispute how vicious he was, saying he did a lot of conquering just by letting cities know he was coming. If they submitted, he did nothing to them.
An extremely stupid remark, that displays no knowledge whatsoever of Indian history or of Indian historians. I wish there was a way to flush the Internet clean of drive-by students who come to find five minutes of chewing gum for the eyes.
I dare to add that, this chapter also teaches "Why shouldn't we trust blindly our fellow human beings". I wish we had a concept of visiting faculties like you, Abhijit Sir, during our school days. But I know now why not: politicians and opportunists don't want rebels. Rebellion originates only from true narratives. Kudos
well you can never fully trust history, but the way we protrayed him and the way we portrayed Alexander the Great just shows how superficial and stupid we are. The cause of this is the unbelieveble stupid thought that everything you dont know has to be somehow inferior to you and driven by low motives. I hate that a lot about us, because its wrong and dumb. I would even say that its an inherent superiority complex of the west as a whole which will be our downfall, or already is. But dont make the mistake to believe its only the west, China and parts of Arabia have the same problem.

@True light no, turks have not originated from mongols. They do have some commonality in origin but so does the every human being on earth. But through medieval ages, both were different, turks were somewhere turkmenistan and kazakhastan, and mongols around mongolia and southern Russia. They have different languages and culture. And it was the mongols only, who kicked the ass of turks and forced large number of them to today's turkey. And mughal king babur claimed to have his mother from mongols but there is no proof and it was a trend among turkic and other rulers to associate themselves to mongols and genghis khan. Even if some had mongol mothers, does it make them half or full mongol??? 😏absurd
@True light What you said is Kinda true but kinda wrong we can't say like the turks originated from The mongols yes essentially the turks and the mongols had the same culture but afterwards the turks started following Islam and the turko mongols that you are talking about are the ones that followed the Islamic culture. Yes one of their parents was mongol but yet they followed the culture which their Turkic parent followed not the one that mongols followed. So they are the for springs of Genghis khan is just for the sake of saying. The Religious , Cultural , ethical value that they followed were totally different from that what Genghis khan followed. So comparing them with Genghis khan is just baseless.
@True light turks are NOT mongols, mongolian belongs to tungusic languages of korean japanese and siberian, turks are tartars who were servants of mongols

My son is in 7th grade they are still teaching civil war. I noticed in the founding this country they didn't teach about indentured servants. And alot of history is watered down.
My history teacher (Egypt) explained the same reasons for not invading India. Emphasising the ruling Mamluk did not provoke nor pose any threat to the Mongols and that the great Khan had no greed for wealth but was driven by a deep desire for righteousness and revenge…
It's high time our schools start teaching history with such great point to point analysis. Let the students know true history and decide for themselves, whether a person was good or bad based on his deeds, instead of brainwashing.

@yagbos Chinese weren't budhist, only minority percentage were budhist. And chengis khan hated Chinese because their atrocities on Mongols, he had to take revenge. There is no such thing as devil worshippers.
I had always wondered how Mongols who were tolerant and accepting of all religions (which shows compassion) would ever be genocidal. Your analysis makes me finally understand their core motive for expansion and conquering. Little is also understood about discipline in those time, fear was a major ingredient in discipline.
I think it's that they wanted to avoid uprisings while they expanded so they wouldn't have to waste troops on quelling internal affairs. That and they didn't really care about pushing a theocracy.

To say that the Chinese took the Mongolians n being cruel to them may not be true, when it is well known fact that the Mongols under Genghis Khan regularly invaded China n killed n took their people back to Mongolia as slaves so much so that the Great Wall was built to protect the Chinese people. If Mongolians weren’t as aggressive as generally known, they wouldn’t have ventured so much to the west to cause so much misery to the people living in Central Asia n Eastern Europe. Indians were very lucky the mongols didn’t venture into the continent.
It depends on how you see it. The history needs to be unbiased. If we as Indians have a history of being defeated, let it be so. No point in vainglorious whitewashing. But let us take lessons from it. The key lesson is that we were not United. We should remember this and never let it happen again. The Chinese have realised this. We have not.
@@pradman81There is great difference between India and China.China has got only one race i.e Han and one language for more than 3000 years .In India there is vast diversity in language, race and religion.China has been fortunate in having great dynasties of emperors ruling over it for more than 2500 years and has been able to withstand foreign invasions except that of Mangols.
@@sureshpandey9485 True. Ethnic bonds alone do not define unity. If not, then the entire ME and the Islamic Maghreb would be one country. The Chinese are real leaners of history.

They value social order over freedom. We never try to learn from history. Perhaps the policy makers might but it is not inked into our psyche like it has been for the Chinese.

You are a typical anti Hindu and an Anti India commie who loves to glorify in vaders who ru ined India. Delhi Sultanate did not de feat mongols , mongols were already in the decline that time. Genghis khan was never bothered about his em pire, external threats made him conquer lands, So he did not care whether he gets defeated or wins, Genghis Khan was not a general, He was the Khan, first learn what Khan means in Mongolian language, you don't know anything about history. Genghis Khan easily knew he could easily defeat Jalaluddin and Iltumish, but still Genghis Khan didn't in vade India because Genghis Khan had deep love and respect for India, Genghis Khan knew that the culture that Mongols followed came from India, Indians culturally influence Mongolia, Mongols were Hindus and to this day in Mongolia...India is known as the land of Gods.
@@mbrain9033 @Rizu Banerjee anti national commie. Conspiracy theories toh tu faila raha hai, you are spreading anti hindu and anti national distorted history which glorifies the in Vaders, your distorted version of history is clearly glorifying the delhi sultanate which ru ined India and you have the audacity to wh ine that Mr Abhijit Chavda in this video is spreading conspiracy theory, what an irony, your mommy was a concubine of delhi sultane no wonder you glorify the delhi sultanate via lies.
@@mbrain9033 Go to Mongolia and see for yourself, how much love and respect they have for India. To this day India is known as the land of the Gods in Mongolia.
@@mbrain9033 your version of history is illogical and doesn't make sense and you have the audacity to call real history as conspiracy theory? Hahahaha.
It's not often my mind is completely changed about something, but this is one of those times. Also, it's ridiculous to compare Alexander to Genghis, given that Alexander started off as a king (after probably murdering his father) with the best army in the world his father had built and trained, while Genghis started with nothing.
It's a good thing you added "Likely " . Doubting the abilities of one of the greatest minds in antiquity seems a little brash, even when comparing him to the great Sun Tzu.
He's not to be respected because all the wars & invasion he did is worthless & pointless even all the invaders invaded other countries & religion they are not meant to be respected what's the output of these wars? Saving people? Fought for defend themselves? No just to show their power to wach other thats it.thats why i love our kings atleast had some decent ethics & humanity in them spreading peace & never pull sward for attacking someone
@@ertf7777 You don’t even know a shit lmao. In those ancient times every conqueror & kings were ruthless killers. And invading and conquering is just a procedure to unite. After he claimed most of the Asia he invented the Gerege which is like modern day passport which represents the safe route for merchant and envoys. Also he didnt prohibit the civilians for worshipping their religion which is starting point of democracy.
I'm from Portugal 30y, I love history always seeking for the truth, we only got lies in school (I always felt it was all wrong) that is why I never stop researching, soooo all this to say I'm a great inspired spiritual being from India and all the forgotten truth of this planet hope that one day I can do or inspire someone to keep doing great things to OUR WORLD
Since you're interested in genuine history, you might want to check out the history of the Goa Inquisition. It was established by the Portuguese colonial authorities in Goa at the behest of 'Saint' Francis Xavier. My family, like many other families, left Goa precisely to escape it. While I have nothing against the Portuguese people of today, I think knowing about these things is important.
Finding a historian with objective reasoning has always been a challenge. Every nation and their historians try to Manipulate the story. Thanks for being utterly objective in analysing the matter. I will jump into your videos eight after this. Kudos to you for being neutral.
This is an evergreen video. :) Anyone who has an open mind and wants to see sequence of events as is should easily spend several hours watching and rewatching this video. Causation sequence that led an individual became a principled leader, ruler. See change in life after having seen your uncle brutally killed by Chinese for forming a coalition to stop internal conflicts caused by Chinese (sounds like today, no?). Then to see father brutally killed by Turks. Thanks Abhijit for rendering this journey in a digestible interesting fashioon. Would love to see more from "Bravehearts of Bharat"
@Antares I don't really know anything about this crap, but Vedas are 60000 years old? Bullshit. Humans were in the iron age at the time, weren't they? Did they even know HOW to write books so long ago? And if India really was so wise, why is Europe in second place, and India in shambles? C'mon man, you're clearly smoking something
@Antares what the actual fuck? Bro, I'm a 13 year old in school. My exams ended. Just because I know how to speak English doesn't mean I'm a fucking communist. Get a grip lmao.
Congratulations, in less than half an hour, you've explained what usually takes most teachers days of lecturing and most books spend multiple chapters on Genghis Khan. I've enjoyed your presentation, well done!
Genghis Khan started to suffer from lose motions as soon as he tried to enter India. One priest of his warned him that his motions will get only worse if he moves further and ultimately there will be stream of blood coming out of his ass. Frightened of this thought he turned back. This is the actual reason. Others are just fake stories.
I also have similar thoughts about US but after some research and analogy, I feel US is doing something good for the world. If you see my previous comments on US, in the context of Ukraine Russia war, they all are negative. After connecting the dots from the history and the reasons US aligned with some power and fought war against others have some moral grounds. I mean not to say that US didn’t do anything wrong. They did committed many mistakes and wrong things but still have some respect for US.
Superb video. As Westerners, we have set narratives for Hindus, and Indians and as you said GK is based on colonial views. What an honorable man despite his actions for those times. Thank you for the truth and mentioning the real cruel invaders who invaded took and left to rot countries calling themselves great etc. . I hope you do a video on how India/Hindustan was, before all the ugly invasions-how Afghanistan, Burmamrs/Myanmar, Tibet, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal were all Hindustan before any invasion and life of richness Vedic education Sanskrit genera etc. I do hope you make such a video. We should be ashamed for taking and robbing and not giving credit but instead, let false narratives run.
That is why history written by Westerners or eu ro peans should never be trusted. westerners or eur opeans should never be trusted and they will never be an Indian's friend...
no evidence of tibet and nepal being part of india . idk about myanmar. afghan and pakistan and bangladesh sure. but nepal and tibet had no history of being indians
please do not refer to myth of greater india. every nation have a greater nation map which are either fabricated or just places which are gotton through invasion.
All these were a part of Bharat. India is a name given to us by British, Hindustan is a name given to us by islam invaders. Tibet and Nepal were part of Sampoorna Bharat. So to answer your doubt, Nepal and Tibet weren't part of India but part of Bharat.
I was first introduced to the greatness of GK by one Buddhist taxi driver in Manali , India. Now this lecture has reconfirmed what he had told me. Before this we were only told as kids that GK was only a barbarian, plunderer.
This really blew my made, this guy was known as a cruel person with a cold heart. Totally ignored his motivation for the acts he did. I immediately taught my parents this, i feel like it’s necessary to spread history, cause if you know facts you can correct/teach others. Respect to him for having principles like a true warrior
Many historians have not even read The Secret History! I read it as a child. Anyway, thank you presenting the subtleties that give a fuller shape to a fascinating person and time.
As a American person I find your accounting of Gengis Kahn fascinating . I could not agree more that a lot of history is skewed for what ever reasons people have . Keep up the good work . I would have never known any of this . I am enlightened and taught thank you.
Khan is just as much responsible and in control of what his generals did leading his armies. Just bc he only got out of bed to scare the shit out of the people that betrayed him doesnt absolve him of the conquests of greed he sent his underlings on.
@@rodgeryin2006 Ah yes, cause only Europeans have ever done that. Just shows how historically illiterate you are. Keep watching history videos cause you definitely need it.
@@indrajitgupta3280 The topic of discussion is History here. Not STEM subjects. The curriculum of Indian history has always been influenced by leftist lobbies to suit their convenience. When it comes to Bharat's prehistoric pagan, Indic and Dharmik glory, you'd find that RU-vid and WhatsApp are actually way more reliable. That's what the guy meant.
Genghis Khan was mercilessly misunderstood by the world because of the historian. He is the greatest conqueror of all time. A dignified, rational, disciplined man. Its true that history is a set of lies agreed upon. Thank you for this video.
Real out of box thinking.... 'AC'.....It was boredom to read,cram and write answers in exam..... to the boring textbook history of school.....At my retirement age I am thankful to 'AC' for making us understand history and shaking our brains
Im glad I tried to search for Genghis Khan history and stumbled upon this channel. its such a gem that tells history as it is and as clearly as possible. thanks abhijit, would love to hear more about the world's history
