"It is no secret that conquering cultures peg themselves as ‘superior’ and denounce everything that came before them as an ‘age of darkness’. Equally true is the African proverb, “As long as the lions do not have their storytellers, history will always glorify the hunter”.
We Indians know intuitively that the history imposed on us is not our history at all. It is the history of invaders glorifying their invasions. And yet, for over 70 years of independence, we Indians have not managed to cleanse the biases of the colonial imposition of history on us. Sanjeev Sanyal makes a case for telling Indian history the way it happened to us - from the perspective of Indians.
About Speaker: -
Sanjeev is an Indian writer, environmentalist and urbanist, who is considered as one of the world's leading financial sector economists. Sanjeev was the Global Strategist and Managing Director at Deutsche Bank till Oct 2015. He is also the author of three best-selling books, including the "Land of the Seven Rivers: A Brief History of India's Geography."

Why Qutub minar is called that it was built by Qutub ud din Aibak, since clearly one can see hindu symbols all over that mimar and in the complex. Alauddin tried to make one but can't, because he doesn't had that kind of architectural engineering to build that kind of minar. I request our government to History books needs to be written again.

Think positive about yourself and not the negative things foreigners say about Indians and be proud of yourself and your past.

The story of "Divyavadanam" are real or fictional, let’s see Divyavadanam is a Sanskrit text containing divine stories. It is believed to have been written in the 2nd century. But if you look at the stories and places It seems to have been written in the 7th century or later. What are these stories? Of these, 38 stories are very mythical similar to be in line with the ideology of “Mul Sarvastivism an sub cult. It has an 11th story called "Ashokavadan". There is evidence that it was written from the 5th century to the 16th century. The story describes Emperor Ashoka's cruelity, his relationship with the Buddha Dhamma, and how he brutally murdered the Niganthas to promote Buddhism. Basically there is no historical fact in this. It describes the assassination of Ajivika by Emperor Ashoka. If Emperor Ashoka had killed Ajivik, would he have donated the first caves in India to Ajivik Sangh? Another example of these stories being fictional is that the Pushymitra Shunga (killer of the brahmadatta) is shown to be of maurya descent. These stories will be suitable for fiction literature but not facts or that they will useful to know the right names for the places otherwise there are no proofs. In ancient time to deify any personality such stories were added in literature and this similar to that type. A video of Sanjeev Sanyal has been aired on this, in which questions have been raised about the existence and deeds of Emperor Ashoka. Basically, Sanyal works as a principal economic advisor in the Prime Minister's Office. We should all realize that this is an attempt to "brainstorm". The current political rulers are not in favor of Ashoka's actions, but their ideology has shown many times that they are angry with Emperor Ashoka. Sanyal's current attempt seems to be to show history from a different point of view - through myths. In this, Sanyal only comments on the thoughts of the present ruling party as expected! But beware of such self-proclaimed historians and be ready to answer them as they are ... Divyavadanam is a myth and therefore we have to decide how much importance we should give to these stories. There are stories of these unhistorical events and they should be seen only as a fictional literary work but at the same time we should emphasize to the world the deeds of Emperor Ashoka ...

+B Nilotpala S Haan, bilkul sahi. Par agar likhawat aadmi ki hai to fir the so-called "religion" of peace bhagwan ka kahan se hua?? Zara khud bhi to dimaag lagaiye! Abrahamism was an idea that was used to invent political tools of subservience for empire-building, right from its very inception. Islam is nothing but its 2.0 version - the final one. It was fabricated to do what version 1.0 (Christianity) was no longer tenable to do, mainly because it would have screwed up the home turf (largely Mediterranean Europe) and the power structure it had built (the Church system/the Vatican) if it carried on with the way Constantine used it. They needed to preserve & aestheticize 1.0, and 'outsource' the dirty evil work to the deserts of the Bedouin, from where it could be spread like cancer far & wide by hook or by crook (usually crook & bloodshed). You should simply read the history of Islam along with its main texts, not only of the period when Mahomet was alive, but the days, years, decades right after his death, and the centuries of horror that followed. This history is not too old and very well documented & corroborated. Once you know it, you'll lose your fake reverence towards it or its parent ideology as some of benevolent spiritual/religious/cultural legacy that we must "respect". Its like someone telling me that I must have respect for Nazism to become a true "Hindu" (obviously without having the first clue what this very term signifies either).

@bitthalsarangi5471 7 жыл бұрын

Sayantan Bhowmik Nicely written brother. This was also true for Hitler, when he wrote Mein Kampf. Whatever you have written, I have already read it and know the consequence of it. Following Islam itself is disastrous for the Idea of Diversity. All the Islamic Lies apart, Muslims who defy Islamic rules and adhere Humanity, they shouldn't get stamped out in this process. That's the concern. Otherwise future generations will ascribe Hinduism as mere Nazism, which grew out of hatred towards a religion called Islam, and it owe it's existence till the destruction of such religions.

@thedescanteer 7 жыл бұрын

B Nilotpala S Do you even hear yourself boss? Your line of argument is going haywire. Your logic is absolutely topsy-turvy. The things you're saying are completely disingenuous, especially since you claim to understand the "lies" & history of Islam. You started by explicitly saying on this thread that "We are not Hindus till we respect Islam". Now you're shifting the goal-post to "concern for Muslims". If you already know & agree that most muslims are victims of an evil expansionist political ideology called Islam, then why the heck are you conflating the two? You're so well-versed in the subject, yet you talk as if you don't know that "Muslims who defy Islamic rules" are no longer muslims, but apostates to be executed under the sharia. Don't you know the status of Ahmediyas in Islam? How many people do you know who openly "defy Islamic rules" and are still practicing/proud muslims? I'll not count "activists" who live in non-Islamic pseudo-secular or 'first-world' nations, and have vested political backing. These handful of individuals are either useful idiots who eventually pay the price, or they're Islamo-fascist moles backed by NATO/Saudi to lead the taqiyya, tawriya, kitman & muruna in these non-muslim majority societies. Your statement that "future generations will ascribe Hinduism as mere Nazism" is an illogical strawman argument - I don't need to be "Hindu" or an Indian or a Japanese or a Zulu or a Maori to cognize the aforementioned reality of Islam; its got nothing to do with how the "existence" of "Hinduism" or any other kuffar, heathen, pagan cultures/religions will be perceived in future. Rather, the survival of all such diversity is under ever-expanding threat. And how can you still go on proclaiming Islam as a "religion", even after studying & understanding it so well from the outside? Its obvious you want to somehow hold onto the bigoted position you've taken by 'hook or by crook'. Its called cognitive dissonance boss. Get rid of it.

But when I read the Greek history, it clearly says that he was defeated really badly by Pururaj at the bank of river Indus and if anything, there was a stalemate and subsequently his armies retreated due to fear of other armies joining Pururaj in the battle.

The powerful Karnata empire which ruled South and Central India have the Royal lineages like Sena Dynasty of Bengali, Solankis of Gujarat, Rathore of Rajastan. It is sufficient to tell that we have one origin.

Ram yadav---- Sivaji was a rebel against the Sultan of Bijapur. The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb encouraged Sivajis rebellion , as he wanted to create civil war in Bijapur and make it easier for him to conquer it. Sivaji was a willing ally of the Mughals. He even attended the Mughal Durbar of Aurangzeb as his loyal Mansabdar and was given Mughal honours. But he wanted more importance. His ego was responsible for his rebellion against the Mughals not his religion. Sivaji looked every inch the loyal Mughal mansabdar with his muslim style beard, his Mughal court costume etc etc .His later political philosophy of Hindu Pad-Padshahi was also based on Mughal style geo-politics.

Very good talk/presentation. Brings me back to ancient India! For example, Manusmriti is put forth of as "the main and the only reason" for "castism " is actually a commentary by Kulluka Bhatta on the commentary by Govindaraja on Manav Dharma Shashtra despite the fact that more than 50 manuscripts of "Manusmriti" from different timelines have been found. So debates like this should be conducted the way they were conducted in ancient India.

It is also possible that Ashoka's knowledge of Buddhism was rudimentary and that it was only after Kalinga, and a spiritual journey through which he sought peace and self-forgiveness, that he chose Buddhism from among the other options available. Whether the one or the other, Ashoka would embrace Buddha's teachings in so far as he could as a monarch and establish Buddhism as a prominent religious school of thought.

@tykemonster6416 7 жыл бұрын

Hmmm..evrything in history that has been written in India is just to defame hinduism. Like the Ahom example,no mention in history textbooks because hindus were the victors here. Similarly, the Ashoka example, books mention he was a hindu and killed people and then converted to buddhisim and then attained peace. This kind of shows hindusim in bad light and buddhism in good light.

@Raj Narayanan That is true. Additionally to Tyke Monster's point, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism are as "Hindu" as Vaishnavism, Advaitism, Shaktism, Shaivism etc as all have at their core the concepts of karma, reincarnation, dharma, atma, moksha through the practice of yoga. No other religions share these concepts. They have been splintered by outsiders out of fear because it stretches from Punjab to Japan and from Mongolia to Sri Lanka. It is bigger than Islam almost as big as Christianity and far more profound and alive than either. But these same outsider have no problem in declaring Islam to include shia, sunni, sufi, ahmediya etc and Christianity includes protestant, catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist, Baptist, Adventist ext.

And above all be open to new evidence, scrutise them by all means but be academically honest and allow that original hypotheses may change.

A british friend of mine once asked how does an Indian identify him/herself as an Indian; he meant how does one reconcile the complicated history and identify as an "Indian" alone - only recently have I started to find the answer for myself. It is sad that "truth" is so hard to find; the silver lining though is that it's not impossible. All it needs is an alert seeker. If we probed and learnt our true history we would be proud of our contributions as a civilization.

Some of the greatest kings who ever ruled India are from what is now southern India. Some of the dynasties ruled for hundreds of years not as tyrants but as great kings who were known for their religious devotion, respect for women, encouragement of arts and education, and great administration. The Chola dynasty is one such dynasty...they were known for their exceptional administration, benevolent rule, great navy that conquered Sri Lanka and religious tolerance. Women in the Chola dynasty were greatly respected and responsible for some of the greatest temples they have left for us today (The Tanjavur Temple), great irrigation works one of which supplies Chennai to this day! Their descendants are responsible for the building of the greatest temple Angkor Vat in Cambodia! From what I now know about Ashoka, he comes nowhere near these Chola kings in terms of greatness!

History in our school textbooks, which is what most Indians who go to school know about and nothing more, is a history that is told to suit the ruling ideology. Any relook at history based on recovered facts and cogent interpretation is therefore to be welcomed. After Bajirao, his first son, Balaji aka Nanasaheb, became Peshwa, and not his second son, Raghunath Rao [as the talk mentions]. It was under Balaji that Maratha influence was at its zenith in terms of territorial dominance, but that influence was not yielded by centralised powers, but by almost semi-independent chieftains like Shindes [Gwalior], Holkars [Indore], and Bhosales [Nagpur]; who were all brought to prominence by Bajirao. However, even this loose confederacy did not RULE [or Administer] over the large territory it dominated. In fact, it's rule was often rapacious in areas it did not control and directly administer; and was considered a blight.

Indian History was primarily held in the "Shroutha-Smartha" (Heard and Remembered) system. It was flushed down the commode by the Anti Brahmanism that the British began in 1857 and that their Cambridge, Columbia, Oxford, Elphinstone, Presidency, St Stephens and Madras Christian educated stooges who had no notion whatsoever of Indian tradition, History, Culture followed through since 1921. Post 1947, the "Four legs good, two legs bad" Periyar-Ambedkar-Nehru-Gandhi-Imported Religions-Communist (Pangolin) Consensus finished the job that the British began of eradicating Brahmanism, the soul of Hinduism, in order to destroy Hinduism.In this they have been monumentally successful. India's Constitution and Courts have replaced the hereditary law giving priesthood and are destroying the myriad traditions, cultures and religions that are to be found distributed among India's temples where India's History resides. Today euphemisms such as "Vedic" are used to side step the embarrassment of foul words such as Brahmin or Aryan. Before you blame the foreigners, you must blame the proximate cause of India's eradicated History. This is the Anti-Hindu Constitution of the Indian Republic and the foreigners who have conquered and ruled India since 1947.

+Ashok Rajpal PANGOLIN: An enemy of India who believes in inequality under law, exceptions to the rule of law and persecution of some for the benefit of others. At present, the sole purpose of the Indian Republic, Constitutional or otherwise, is to pamper and provide for certain constitutionally preferred sections of society who the British found useful to hold and exploit India at the cost of those who the British hated and persecuted. The Pangolin is a creature that is unique to India and feeds on ants that are known in nature to be industrious and hard working if not quite as fruitful as bees who flee to better climes. (PANGOLIN is an acronym for the Periyar-Ambedkar-Nehru-Gandhi-Other (alien) Religions-Communist Consensus that usurped the British Mantle and has worn it with elan to loot, plunder, and rape India since 1921 and re write History and laws to their exclusive benefit since 1947)

+eragonmerlin Anybody who uses the word "rant" requires to go to a good Kindergarten, far away from reservations tainted education system and learn to read and comprehend. You have evidently been brainwashed by the PANGOLIN "Four legs good Two legs Bad" mythology propagated by the British. The "Caste system" in India was invented by the British.and adopted by their stooges, (like yourself). Those who were not under holy orders were known as secular (“worldly” from old Latin) during the middle ages of Europe. At that time, as a residue of the Holy Roman Empire, enormous quantities of land was owned and run by the prelates and monastic orders of the Church. There were those appointed to “defend” the Church such as Kings and Barons and their men at arms who also had enormous lands and powers. The Kings and Barons were secular (Worldly) and could marry, shed blood (Bishops would carry maces rather than swords into war so as to bludgeon their enemies to death without shedding blood and hang their serfs who did not pay their taxes or present their daughters for private enjoyment on demand rather than behead them as a Baron might) hold non religious courts that dealt with their rights over their minions, serfs and lands rather than ecclesiastical courts that twisted and dealt “God’s laws” in the political interest of the Church and its prelates. To both of these the secular serfs had to render up the greater part of their produce including first go at their daughters and wives as demanded. This is the origin of the European caste system that the British introjected into India as well as the notion of “secularism” so beloved of aliens like Indira Gandhi. All words change their meaning when passed through the prism of India's erudition, integrity, culture and arithmetic challenged Judges, Parliamentarians, Bureaucrats, Journalists, Police and the masses of illiterate vote fodder. As Lewis Carroll puts it in "Through the looking glass", : "The question is", said Alice, "Whether you can make words mean so many things". "The Question is", Said the Walrus, "Who is to be master that is all". In India. "Secularism" as intended by Indira Gandhi her cronies, cohorts, their successors and assigns means the prospering of Islam, the Dalits, and to a lesser extent, Christianity (who are, presumably under “Holy” orders), at the cost of the descendants of those who were “People of Dharma” (presumably unholy and worldly people undeserving of their temples, treasures, lands, water bodies, educational institutions and religious freedoms) before 1921. The People of Dharma were rolled into "The Hindu" lumpen that created by the British, which included those who had repudiated Aryan (Brahmin) Law and were now labelled "Dalits" by the British as well as tribals who followed their own laws and customs.

+Ashok Rajpal Varna system: In the Rik Vedic (Evolution of fire technology and metal working) Period following Brahma giving the Prathamo Upanishad to the Saptha Rishis (from which the notions of Karma and Dharma were born) and the formulation of the Aryan Constitution represented by the Swastika, when the pastoral, Brahmin, multi racial Aryas roamed the grass lands from East Europe to Mongolia, there was no Varna. During the Shukla Yajur Veda (Archery, chariot war fare and the harrying of the Druid Civilizations of Mesopotamia and Persia) Period there were two Varnas. Arya and Dasyu (Serf or Slave). The tall, fair, semitic, encycephalic, idolatrous, agricultural and archtiectural Shiva, Vishnu and Lalitha worshiping Druhyus (Druids) scattered from the Ur civilization to escape the constant harrying by the Aryas as well as their own apostates who had embraced Yahweh who said unto Abraham, "Put no other Gods before me for I am a jealous God". Some of them headed East and formed the Indus Valley civilization displacing the indigenous tribals. Some Aryas followed and settled in the Indo-Gangetic Plain and were bound by the treaty of Bharatha (a codicil to the main Constitution of Arya Varsha). They over laid the Druhyus and exacted tribute in the form of agricultural, architectural and other produce and services from the Dasyus. Here was born the joyous tones of the Krishna Yajur Veda from plenty and luxury. Here too were born the Varnas. The Brahmana, the Kshatriya and the Vaishya. The Varnas were decided by the Brihaspathi in the Pathashala. Then came the decadence of the Sama Veda. The Great Civil War (referred to in the masterly literary work "Mahabharatha" by Vyasa) decimated the Aryas and broke their hegemony. This began the Atharva Veda Period. Thereafter the Dravids and the Aryas began to inter marry. The Druid dieites were Sanskritized and the compendium of the Thaithreya Upanishad was created including the Druid deities for the use of all previous Vedas. The temple worship, architectural and agricultural technologies entered the Atharva Veda through the Aagama (that which came from outside) Shastras. The Dasyus entered the Guru Kula system as Shudras with full Varna mobility thereafter. The Druhyus already had a complex system of professional specializations as behooves an advanced civilization and this was verniered and integrated into the Varna system. The Vedic Period was brought to an end by Ashoka who destroyed the temples, dismantled the Guru Kulas and drove Brahmanism and Sanskrit under ground. He replaced the Swastika of Arya Varsha with his Chakra. With this, the Varna system ossified and education passed from father to son as Varna mobility was not possible without Guru Kulas. Many of the indigenous people as also the Dasyus never accepted Aryan Law and remained out side the Varna system. Many others who had been put into "Bahishkara" (open prison or exile) could not be reintegrated as the Ashwamedha Yajna when the laws were recodified and this took place were no longer conducted as Ashoka had ended Bharatha Varsha when he performed the Raja Suya Yajna (sacrificing the heads of the defeated Kings of the Sukla Yajur Veda period) instead of the Ashwamedha Yajna (consensus under Bharatha Varsha Krishna Yajur Veda). These were called Dalits by the British in 1921. The British wrongly gave the term "Dravid" to the indigenous people of India rather than the semitic Druhyus from the place of the three rivers (now known as the Euphrates, Tigris and Jordan) who brought agriculture and temple building to India. The British did "Divide to Rule". They turned against the Brahmins after the Sepoy Muitny in 1857. Every Brahmin man, woman and child that they could lay hands on in the Bengal Presidency was massacred out of hand. In 1921 their "Dravid" stooges of the "Justice" Party were set against the Brahmins. False canards were spread against the Brahmins who had formed the impoverished (by culture and way of life dedicated to learning and trusteeship) hereditary priesthood, judiciary, and trustees of the "Hindu" commonwealth) to destroy the soul of Hinduism. The British coined the word "Dalit" for Non Hindus and made them "Hindus" in law to swamp the congregational temple welfare system. In the Madras Presidency, the British stooge Patro promulgated the Communal Gazetted Order 613 of 1923 to discriminate against Brahmins in all walks of life including education, employment, land ownership and court cases. The British then confiscated all the Heritage Temples and Religious endowments including the Veda Pathashalas. This policy has been followed ever since by the heirs and successors to the British and their "Dravid-Dalit" stooges. The Cambridge, Columbia, Oxford, Elphinstone, Presdiency, St Stephen’s and Madras Christian educated British stooges who usurped the rulership of India from the people in 1947 had no notion, whatsoever, of Indian tradition, History or Culture. In 1949, the Indian Republic, constitutionally turned Hindus into Third Class citizens and in 1959 confiscated all their temples, religious endowments and common wealth. The Indian Constitution was largely plagiarized from the British Government of India Act (1935) and included inequality under law, exceptions to the rule of law and the "Many Nations" Theory that rascals like Nehru, Ambedkar and their successors have expanded and strengthened leaving India a weakened nation, struggling below its potential, in a perpetual state of Civil War. India is 135 out of 172 nations (below Sub Saharan Africa) in Human and Social Development and 143 out of 172 nations in internal peace and stability. It is also the largest exporter of skilled Brain Ware that builds the might of the US and other "Western" Powers. Dalit: Until 1921, only those who adhered to Brahmanical Aryan Law were considered "Hindus". Hindu is a defunct nationality of religions adhering to common Aryan law though the name was coined by the Persians to refer to those who lived in the Indus Valley (present day Pakistan) at a time when both Persians and "Hindus" worshiped many common Gods and Goddesses. (The Vedai period that preceded the Avesthan period in Zoroastrian History). To break the back of Hinduism the British started many activities. In the Madras Presidency they coined the word "Dalit" and made them "Hindus in Law". Recognizing Brahmanism as the soul of Hinduism (until 1921, a Pandit used to be consulted by the Judiciary on Hindu Law) they abolished Hindu Personal Law, In 1923, their stooge the :Justice Party of Patro and Periyar promulgated the Communal Gazetted Order 613 to discriminate against Brahmins in all walks of life and took over the Temples, subverting the congregational temple welfare system. The Indian Political Service even infiltrated Sikhism at Sialkot and influenced Kartar Singh and Karag Singh to create the Akali movement and turn Sikhism away from the Hindus and against Hindus an adopt many Islamic beliefs and practices. Shudras (the tall, fair, semitic, agricultural, temple worshipping and architectural Druids who brought civilization from Mesopotamia) were integrated into the Guru Kula system that decided the Varna on the basis of aptitude and skills in the Atharva Veda period after the Mahabharatha War destroyed Aryan hegemony and temple worship, architecture, agriculture etc entered the Vedas through the Aagama (that which came from outside) Shastras. Dalits were always outside the Varna system or are descendants of those who were made out castes for heinous crimes like Ashoka was for fratricide and could not be reintegrated (which happened during every Ashwamedha Yajna when the laws were re codified) after Ashoka dismantled the Temples and Gurukulas and brought the Brahmanical Shastras and Caste Mobility to an end together with the Vedic period. Thereafter, skills and knowledge passed from father to son. But Dalits were never Shudras who were caste Hindus. (Shudras were Dasyus during the Krishna Yajur Veda and Sama Veda periods when the Indo-Aryan extracted tribute from them in the form of agricultural and architectural produce before the Mahabharatha War. The Brahma worshiping Aryans, a motley set of nomadic, pastoral, war like races and tribes from Prussia to Mongolia were Rig Vedic and united under a common constitution and laws. They came to India in the transition from the Shukla Yajur to the Krishna Yajur Vedic periods and overlaid the Shiva, Vishnu and Lalitha worshipping Druhyus from the land of the three rivers (present day Tigris, Euphrates and Jordan)

Revisiting Indian history is a must from our civilizational legacy point of view. Ironically few are interested or even willing to leave away the flawed and concocted side of Indian history that glorifies a certain view point and personalities. It is time the Govt sets up a panel to rewrite the Indian history from the perspective of a true Indian.
