One thing can be learned from this: nothing is permanent.

The Himalayas was the only thing preventing massive bloodshed or probably a world war

Indian and Chinese history are the most confusing history

Britain: "Can we have this part?"
India: "Which part?"
Britain: "All of it."

imagine going to sleep in the mughal empire and waking up in the maratha empire and then waking up the next day in the british empire

This video shows that no one has ever ruled the whole earth and no one has ever stood the test of The Time. So who is most powerful, you are right that's The Time. Time is most powerful of all.

8:35 It is so clear how Maratha's already defeated Mughals wayy before british.
And today people give credit to britishers for saving us from Mughal empire's atrocities, even when they were worse than mughals.

Chola kingdome be like : we were we are and we will be here

[mjlove]

Cholas also ruled Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos Cambodia, Burma(Myanmar) and some parts of Philippines too..

[shortcows]

The Cholas ruled the southern part for a long duration. Seems no one is entered into it.

I noticed that in 8:43, the music slowly gives a kind of "defeated/hopeless" vibe when the british came into the map, especially at 8:58, when it sounds like some "hopeless but cool" vibe soundtrack in a movie.
It perfectly describes how the people of the indian subcontinent felt during the rule of the british empire 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇵🇰🇧🇩🇲🇲
