History Summarized: Ancient India

In the first of what is sure to be a multi-part series, let's take a look at the history of Ancient India, from the earliest civilization through the development of Sanskrit literature and all the way to the great Maurya Empire!

Blue’s chair is now missing, I don’t know how to feel about standing Blue.

India: This is a huge subcontinent with a rich history and...

Britain: LOOKS LIKE A NEAT GARDEN FOR OUR OPIUM CARTEL.

that "souce: im the universe" made me chuckle. as an indian i had never thought about Krishna as a memer but if you think about it, its on brand.

Mahabharat is such an insane piece of writing. Just imagine writing about over 100 characters through generations, tying every character with the main arc through backstories & previous births without telling the reader who was "right". Then you have an extremely intricate philosophical discourse "Bhagvad Gita", which is just a part of this massive epic.

Did Caesar burn Blue's library? Seems like he moved to Red's domain now.

As an Indian, I am pretty sure the first 30 seconds is the most accurate (non-indian) summary of Ancient India I've ever seen.

Me: Ancient India
Me as a historian: *sweats nervously*

I’m impressed, i tried doing research on india and I thought my head was going to explode

I’m a Kurdish women and my family is from Syria, but it turns out my ancestry can be traced back all the way to the Indus valley civilization according to my mtDNA!! 😁 listening to this video, it makes sense that my ancestors might have migrated from the valley after the first or second options occurred (2:16), and then decided to settle in the Middle East. 😊

The Indians are certainly very fortunate to have such a rich history and mythology. It's kind of amazing how old they really are, and the complex web of history which made them as they are now.

As an Indian and someone who watches OSP videos regularly, I love the fact that you took a look at Indian history. Thank you for that! But the country is vast (it's a subcontinent for a reason!) and the video barely scratched the surface of the diverse and complex history we have! I'd recommend breaking it down region wise and era wise for comprehensive videos because more important points were missed than covered.

I was wondering why this looked different, then I realized that Blue is standing in Red's Empty White Abyss of Nothingness Eternal, instead of sitting in his normal Fireside Comfy History Chair. Not sure which I prefer to be honest. Is Red okay with Blue using her Abyss of Nothingness?

[sejalpatil]

As an Indian, I'm so so satisfied with the research and pronunciations! GREAT JOB BLUE!!

[ImperatorIke]

"Hey Blue, you studying Indian history?"
Blue: "Yah-mahn."

Alexander: gets a bunch of funny nicknames.
