[PooranChandraAhuja]

This is how it should be taught in schools in India.... Considering you summed up nearly 80 hrs of content in 44 minutes..
Hope some schools see this and adopt the pedagogy !!!!
Thanks a ton !!!

[shahru]

This video alone destroys all other modern history lectures on youtube so far!!!

[vigneshc]

Who are you man ?
Where have you been when I thought entire indian history was confusing ?
You are one of a gem !
Keep doing your work, never stop !

At school in England in the 1960s Clive was revered as a hero. The truth in history depends on who is teaching and which books we read

[allwynstewart]

This video deserves endless praise...
1 video = 7 days of Spectrum...
Thank you sir for putting in your efforts, enabling so many UPSC aspirants to have a better understanding of India's past...

I am 35 years old. Never wanted to clear UPSC. But enjoyed this video to the core. Made notes! Can you believe it???

[shreyamishra]

I'm surprised at how did I manage to not fall asleep during a history session. You're amazing. Thank you for your efforts.

[dollyghosh]

Sir..an entire book in just a 44 minutes video...I have never come across such a fantastic way with such a clear concept of explanation..I mean really it was stupendously fantastic.

[NIKHILNRAJPP]

History should be taught this way. Crystal clear milestones, Fantastic narration. Thank you so much...

[rajatsrivastava]

After rejecting dozens of video on history I finally settled for this one👍

[mansi]

I know you've heard the same thing from many other students before but, as I am moving close to the final quarter of this video, I feel so confident that I finally know something about our history! NEVER stop making videos. I know its just a comment for you but you've changed things for the person typing this :) Thank you sir!

[confucius]

This man is unbeatable. He should be given some prestigious award to educate in that loving and finest manner ever. ❤️❤️❤️

[blackbeast]

It must have taken a lot of time and effort for you to make this video. Thanks for doing this man . Cheers :)

[GoatAficionado]

Im not Indian or a student studying for exams but thoroughly enjoyed this content!

[mraghuraman]

I was searching for videos in English to explain history of India, but not able to watch even a single one properly. How lucky I am to get this in my recommended section! Amazing presentation of 200 year history within 50 minutes, and not even a single minute was boring. Kudos to the creator for making this. I can now confidently attend quizzes based on this and try to increase my attempt in the SSC CGL exam. Thank you so much.

[JasonMomos]

Excellent video! One thing I would like to point out is that Warren Hastings was NOT the first Governor General of India. Instead, he was the first Governor General of Bengal. The first Governor General of India was William Bentinck (Gov. Gen. of Bengal position was converted to Gov. Gen of India via the Charter Act of 1833).

[kbergeron]

The style of your presentation was perfection! The developing timeline, inserting highlights and pointers, flashing photos of people and places as they were referenced kept me involved without distraction.

Thank you for your knowledge, skill, and time!

[hiraljoshi]

I was struggling since one year to byheart the dates as well as Governor's names but you have very beautifully explained everything alongwith pictures and timeline. Now I cannot forget even if I want to... Lots of blessings to you for this great help for preparations. God bless you thanks

[akshaykp]

Sir please do make such a crash course for 1857-1947 before 2019 prelims
