The folks insisting that Sanskrit is the basis of all Indo-European languages seem not to grasp the concept of "Proto-Indo-European." P. I. E. is a theoretical language from which all three known classical languages derive - Sanskrit, Hellenistic Greek and Latin. With an understanding of P. I. E., we can look intelligently at the evolution of this family of marvelous languages.

the philosophical was pretty cool, you usually imagine these ancient civilizations to be very extreme about their religion belifes and no one could question the gods, but then you see this about how they do not understand the universe and accept that they dont know instead of just giving credit to the gods

3:16 THATS NOW. Then the Saraswati was just as important and the Indus-Saraswati civilisation was based around it

I’m Japanese but the pronunciation differs a lot! This made me realize that learning history in our own language has less meaning because it’s not real I think.

[krish]

props to this dude for having pretty good pronunciation

[kristine]

You're amazing, thank you so much!

Srikant Talageri has shown from linguistic, textual, and archaelogical evidence that the Aryan Invasion Theory is false. He has issued a worldwide challenge for anyone to prove him wrong and no one has done so. However, the AIT is still taught as "fact" almost everywhere. A minority viewpoint, the Out-of-India theory, only has currency among only a handful of scholars but seems to be far more accurate in describing history accurately. Viewers may want to do further research beyond what is presented as the mainstream narrative on this issue. One day the truth shall emerge uncluttered by propaganda. Satyameva Jayate.

There was no Invasion but migration of Indo-European people into northwestern India....around 1500 BC...then started Vedic period

[bhavinbhusara]

Thank you so much for great information 🙏🙏

[borhanuddin]

The way he said Bangladesh, perfect.

[AmritZoad]

Swastika and Proto-Shiva sculptures were found in Indus Valley Civilization. Coupled it with Aryan Migration Theory, the present day Indians are mix of both!

[ahappyimago]

Yes it was most certainly an invasion by indo European (Yamnaya) just like they did the early European farmers.

Homie, you should research some of the stuff that has been discovered by retro-dating the skies to corroborate celestial signs (cycles, comets, etc.) that are mentioned in the Hindu holy books. They're much older than your timeline. The city of Dwaraka has been confirmed ≥12, 000 years old... Also a fun recent rediscovery: look into "Rama's Bridge" or "Rama Setu."

I watched this with interest based on what I have read before. A lot of emphasis goes around Aryan invasion theory and the Aryans - and this is mainly Westerners talking about India but is seldom based on genealogical evidence. Likewise, very little debilitation has been given to the question - weren't there any people actually in India before the "so-called" Aryans came ? This is very similar to the Native American history which the Europeans attempted to wipe out using the so called White history we tend to read about. Most of South and West India who are generally a shade darker than the Northerners are likely the "Native Indians". The Northerners are likely of mixed race and not really native Indians. By Native India I mean geographically inside the modern day republic of India. This is just my view!
