@@chris7372 In Book 3 Chapter 9 of "The travels of Marco Polo" he states: "There are wild elephants in the country, and numerous unicorns, which are very nearly as big. They have hair like that of a buffalo, feet like those of an elephant, and a horn in the middle of the forehead, which is black and very thick. They do no mischief, however, with the horn, but with the tongue alone; for this is covered all over with long and strong prickles [and when savage with any one they crush him under their knees and then rasp him with their tongue]. The head resembles that of a wild boar, and they carry it ever bent towards the ground. They delight much to abide in mire and mud. 'Tis a passing ugly beast to look upon, and is not in the least like that which our stories tell of as being caught in the lap of a virgin; in fact, 'tis altogether different from what we fancied."

Ctesias wote that, in India, there is a nation of people that Indians called them "Kalistrius" «Καλύστριους» witch means Dogheaded («κυνοκέφαλοι»). It's a translation. In the Mediaval years became popular by Pseudocallisthenes nobels about the adventures of Great Alexander in Asia fighting the Dogheaded people. Later it was used it as term describing tribes that practice cannibalism or disform their faces.

Now that is interesting! Could they be referring to the Kshatriyas or the warrior caste that got mixed up with a sort of a Greek homonym?

Honestly, the 4 you are talking about is Varna. Not caste. Varna is classification of people based on their duty in the society. There is no such thing as 7 castes. This is just nonsense in the video. There are 1000s of castes all over India. Caste although a foreign word is used to describe Kula. It’s just a group of people in the same occupation coming together to give themselves a name. For example, the naayi kula comes from a group of Barbers. The carpenters will have their own caste and so will the traders and so on. This is more of a security net Or kind of a club of people with similarities in their occupation and life style. There could be several castes again of the same carpenter or Barbers if you go to a different state or “rajya”. The old education system which mostly starts and probably even ends within the family based on your work means, people learn the traits of their own trade through immediate family and the extended family called caste. That’s why it made more sense for people to marry within their own caste and inter caste marriage was looked down upon as not fruitful for future generation or for continuation of their tradition. It doesn’t make much sense today for people working in industries or as IT slaves anyway. Also, people took pride in their caste. There was no higher or lower. It’s just different clubs if I could say. That’s why even today, a so called Baniya wouldn’t like his/her kid to be married to a Brahmin although Brahmins are supposed to belong higher castes. The classification on higher and lower scales and caste strongly tied to birth cane from the Bristish administration. It was for ease of their administration as their administration itself was dependent on segregating people so they would not form unions to fight against them. The Varna system as described in vedas is Geeta has nothing to do with caste system or it’s so called evils. The evangelical organizations under the British government took anecdotal occurrences of a so calle higher caste (Thakor or Reddy and so on who are also lower castes comparatively) flexing their muscles on lower caste people to spread a propaganda that caste is Evil and that’s why people need to leave Hinduism and accept Xtianity. For slavery, loot, murders and rape are still lesser crimes than saying “I do not want to touch you”. Most of the so called caste atrocities are just classical cases of the rich and powerful guy taking advantage of the weaker guy. If there was so much horror built within the caste system, it wouldn’t have survived 1000s of years and we do not see a single record of people revolting about it. The only revolts are those that happen today where people destroy public property to be identified as lower castes for government freebies in the name of a failed idea called reservation.

vincent raj The stupidly of an evangelically brainwashed logic can be reiterated with this comment where a random statement derived of any logic is presented as fact. I’ve already explained the difference between Varna and castes and why there are differences in caste. Land was always under rulers. What does that have to do with caste differences. India, a land of temples, now has more land with the Churches rather than temples. Why? Yes, even Brahmins have castes based on the sciences they learn and practice. So? Please don’t bring ur religious triggered nonsense to reply me. If u do not want to learn about your own country and civilization and it’s history, it’s your loss. I don’t have time to wake up people from their religious slumber.

This is a rookie understanding of India and most probably a western intellectual imposition/lens of India on the varna system. You are still being brainwashed by this video

Castes is different subject from Varnas which are four. Multiple castes could be associated with one varna

Kalash people in Khyber paktun region are the last remnants of Indo greeks that are part hindus

@@franciscolomeli8931 The tradition of statue making existed in India well before any hellenic intervention. Here is an excellent documentary series detailing the evolution of Indian sculpture kzfaq.info/sun/PLqtVCj5iilH4UdtnLCYMrjI-zspVpJYQ_ Greek intervention definitely increased the popularity of stone work as opposed to the traditional Indian metal or clay work (Indian granite is comparatively harder to carve.) The hindu pantheon had always been represented by figures and statues. The Indus valley civilisation lay tribute to this (the priest king of Mohenjo Daro is an infamous example). The Greeks were the first to portray the Buddha in human form but weren't the ones to introduce "human like" statues. Indian sculpting culture had already been depicting human figures for millennia. The Greeks just represented the Buddha in the flesh as opposed to his allegories- like the flat foot or bodhi tree. The characteristic difference between indian sculpture and Greco sculpture is the use of descriptions to create pieces as opposed to the hellenic tradition of using models. Sculptors were expected to use the descriptions of the God's in the Vedas in their creation of statues. Lines such as "light swelling of the belly" were used to describe the baby Krishna and this depiction of his belly is evident in almost all primordial sculpted pieces. As Hinduism places emphasis on shrine based worship there would have been a necessity to create sculpture from it's conception.

Yes

Yes but today it is finally debunked The data for this is summarized by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, arguably the world's foremost population geneticist, and his colleagues, in the following words: "Results show that Indian tribal and caste populations derive largely from the same genetic heritage of the Pleistocene southern and Western Asians and have received limited gene flow from external regions since the Holocene. The phylogeography [neighboring branches] of the primal mtDNA and Y-chromosome founders suggests that these southern Asian Pleistocene coastal settlers from Africa would have provided the inocula for the subsequent differentiation of the distinctive Eastern and Western Eurasian gene pools. " - The Genetic Heritage of the Earliest Settlers Persist Both in Indian Tribal and Caste Populations: by T. Kisilvid, S.Rootsi, M. Metspahi, S. Mastana, K. Kaldma, J. Parik, E. Metspalu, M. Adojan, H.-V. Tolk, V. Stephanov, M. Golge, E. Usanga, S.S. Papiha, C. Cinnioulu, R. King, L. Cavalli-Sforza, P.A. Unterhill and R. Villems. 2003. American Journal of Human Genetics, 72: pp 313 - 332. Put in non-technical language, it means that the Indian population and all its varied constituents, however defined - upper castes, lower casters, tribal (or so-called indigenous peoples), Dravidians and so forth - are all mainly of indigenous origin, and the contribution of immigrants (gene flow) is negligible

@@Jay-tu9vf Thanks for posting this vital research finding, debunking disproving the Aryan Invasion Theory..

As far as I'm aware, the argument isn't about the genetic displacement of the Dravidian peoples, but more where their language, culture and religion comes from. The argument would be, the reason why we don't see much genetic evidence for Aryan, or Indo-European-speaking peoples of the Steppe in the majority of India's population, is because typically seen throughout many invasions by these Steppe peoples, they usually only replace the elites. Which makes sense if you understand a little about their culture. When they grew too many in number, or had lots of young and eager men, the tribe would cast them out to find new lands to make for their own. And with this comes a motif common in foundation myths throughout many cultures that come from these Indo-European speaking peoples, in their reckoning, the founding patriarchs of a new tribe are often brothers. So by replacing the elites, through this position of power they managed to give the Dravidian peoples an Indo-European language, and a pagan pantheon that also appears related because of numerous comparions that can be drawn with other Indo-European-speaking tribes that have since come to be. Even in etymological terms there are Hindu gods related to gods from tribes that descend from the Steppe. If you don't believe in an invasion, I believe there is strong evidence these Steppe peoples were able to greatly influence the culture of India's ancestors in whatever way that may be

Then how do you explain that you speak a Indo-European language?

but rhino horns don't emerge from between the eyebrows as stated

@ritobhashbhattacharya2795 Most likely, it wasn't an exact match to the animal, since some information was obtained while the Ancient Greeks were trading in India. Consequently, certain details may not be entirely accurate, such as the probable depiction of the rhino. Many economic aspects were probably based on firsthand accounts, including information about military and social forces. However, details about animals and similar topics were likely second- or even third-hand accounts. Traders, with a limited time for trade and travel, would unlikely venture into the inner parts of the subcontinent to obtain precise information about animals. It's possible that the traders relied on information about animals they consumed and seen near the villages they were in, perhaps provided by the Indians they traded with. Nevertheless, some aspects remain as second-hand accounts the only Greeks that would have first hand accounts are ones that settled in the areas and never left and so traveled deep inland.

You speak as if it passively “decayed”. It was invaded & colonised & brutally destroyed & looted for greed.

You both have made very shallow interpretations of this quote. Look for the deeper meaning.

They seem to pop up in alot of these documents...

@Abraham Girt what dots

My money is on the idea that the Dog-headed men are just the result of ritual face mutilation. Some people bound womens feet, some people stretch out their lips with plates, these guys just happen to have shaped their faces to look kinda like dogs. It's not that far fetched.

He said that they wore skin of beasts, maybe that was a skin of wolf and they didn't seperate the wolf's head from the hide and wore it like a hoodie like the shamans from Siberia do. Maybe they were a tribe or a cult living in remote regions of himalayas.

All societies have 'wrong' things, the Greeks had them as well. All in all, I think Magasthenes wrote a pretty detailed account of India at that time-at least from the perspective of an outsider. Obviously his observations weren't always accurate, but even when he didn't get it right his views were interesting. It's a shapshot of India at that time from the perspective of a tourist.

I mean yeah many ancient people thought wrong

Sure buddy

Crazy how people aren't mad about the many wives thing

@@miss42310 Maybe because it was common, u are the only one being surprised here.

This seems true ,in india many region have such tradition like in Maharashtra ,shignapur where people used to don't lock houses . People don't drink liquor .

Yea the Portuguese also created the word "JATHI".. *CHECKMATE*

The Greeks were also not writing in English, like the video. I think you’re onto something!

@@zubankesari7464 Not Jathi....Jathi is a much later thing and is not a part of the original Varna Vyastha . What the greeks describe here is still close to the original Varna system( as in the Brahmins were still not allowed to own anything and were supplied everything which is required by the society ) but signs of mutations have started to appear . A jati may be associated with a unique job .There was no Jati system in ancient India, and even the Chinese Scholar Hsuan Tsang has not mentioned anything about it in his writings. The literal translation of the word Jati gives us the word birth. Jatis developed much later in India to reflect the trade or profession of a particular community. So, while Gandhi comes from Gandha which means smell, the community of Gandhis is the one that trades in perfumes. Dhobi community came from the word dhona which meant to wash, and thus Dhobis were people who washed other people’s clothes. Thus, a jati is a community engaged in a particular profession or trade.

@Mouli Ojha yo brainwashed commie come back to your Bhartiya roots, don't believe anything your english master left you.

The Greeks used the term 'race' instead.

I agree. But I guess they were counting the western border with Persia as a fourth side.

Only if you exclude the entire north. What is now Pakistan was part Indo-Persian on the west and wholly Indian on the east.

Add up Northern India borderd by Himalaya and Hindu Kush mountains, and you will get a quadrilateral.

Remember that cartography was very backwards back then and satellites did not exist so it was all my eye.

Look at an image of the subcontinent, it is quadrilateral

@Tejas Misra Firstly, please use proper language instead of BADTAMEEZI ...! Got it? I do not entertain low vibration kids.

Some deluded people think that being limited to the family profession is OPPRESSIVE....these same people laud China which literally dictates who should do what but is still their ideal! Moreover, these same people opposed the abrogation of 35A which FORCES dalits in Kashmir to keep doing manual scavenging and sewage work BY THE LAWS OF 35A!!!! Hypocrisy of the leftist pseudos is mindboggling...!

Dog headed humans were a pretty common myth

A lot of pagan warriors in Europe also wore animal skins of bears or wolves on their heads and backsides as a sort of animism to "imbue" the strength or speed of the particular animal, as did Roman legionaries. In the video's context I think of it as the helmets worn by Hunnic marauders, and later on the Turks and Mongols

There is at least one Greek philosopher from few hundred years BC that even defined the radius of the Earth with few hundred kilometer accuracy. Though the value getting so close was lucky since the methods he used and assumtions he made weren't very accurate. He measured the angle of shadows cast in wells in two different Egyptian cities, measured the distance between them and then applied some basic geometry

might very well be, given the fact that they knew the atom already back then!

@@jokuvaan5175 Eratosthenes

@@felice9907 They didn't "know the atom" as we do, they simply assumed everything is made of tiny bits because it could be cut into pieces too small to see. Though yes, the world was presumed a sphere by the scholars of many peoples back then, including central Asian nomads that have left some charts signifying that knowledge.

@@jokuvaan5175 - I do love that story! @Felice - They had the word "atom," but it meant quite a different thing to them.
