U got the cast system wrong, it wasn’t a hierarchy to begin with … it became one after or around the time of Shah Jahan give or take …. Primarily because the resources began to shift from Hindu and Buddhist rulers to Muslim ones … thus emerged a Hindu society where people who were closer to power would gain a higher status
M so thankful for your videos, but…
1:24 the pronunciation of the words Samsara, Atman, Moksha, Brahman, and Karma is kinda horrible
But what about architecture and development of culture 🥲 (someone please answer, the reading guides are killing me and I CANT FIND THE INFORMATION IN THE BOOK)
Hey did u guys pass the exam (I'm taking it rn and I've barely started)
Who can tell me the pilitical structuress of this
my ap teacher is a monkey so thx bro
Watching this because i got a 57 on my unit 1.1-1.3 saq 😭😭
I have a test today and I am BINGE WATCHING before 7th period
India/south Asia
Muslims rule the north
Buddhism is popular amongst Hindu kingdoms
Two brothers that convert to Islam converted back into Hinduism after going to the south and created Vijayanagar empire
Religion Hinduism
Through reincarnation the soul needs to escape it and become one with brahma, and depends on karma.
Brakti movement
Hindu believers that specified on devotion
Direct relationship with gods
Caste system
Hierarchy of 5 groups
Your placement was set based on your karma on a previous life
It was very rigid thanks to this belief that you put yourself in that caste
South east Asia
Filled with Hindus and Buddhist
Sea based trade routes and kingdoms emerged thank to its placement
Mujaahid kingdom
Island of java
Sustained its power and wealth by controlling sea routes
Buddhist
Khmer empire
Land-based
Complex irrigation and sewer system led to great agriculture and population
Started Hindus but converted to Buddhism
Muslims also lived here thanks to the trade
your videos are so good that my teacher has us watch them as homework
I am so grateful to this channel, my Ap world teacher doesn't teach correctly at my school, she doesn't get to all the main points. I am glad to have found this channel so I can prep for my exam
1:24 It’s just a flex being Indian and understanding everything 😎
I know why you're here, good luck
Summary:
India
-They had been Hindu for thousands of years and Hinduism had structured all of its society
-Hinduism believed that the ultimate goal of life was to accumulate enough good karma to be freed from the cycle of life, death, and reincarnation
-Influenced many states around them, especially Islam, which borrowed and refined many Indian ideas
South East Asia
-The population consisted of a large amount of Hindus and Buddhists, as well as a small population of Muslims
-It was geographically in the perfect place for sea-based trade routes
-This led to many kingdoms developing and flourishing, such as the Majapahit Kingdom (sea-based) and the Khmer Empire (land-based)
3 years later and heimler still on 🔝
3:44 I hugged myself and my mom and my dad
I love that everyone is watching this for the AP exam, meanwhile I’m rlly excited abt taking this class my freshman year so I’m learning everything ahead of time
binge watching for my finals tmmr 🧍🏻♀️
I keep coming back to this channel before every quiz to review 😀
my notes:
India (South Asia)
Muslims ruled north, Buddhism major player, Hindu kingdoms had most significant influence
Muslims establish Delhi Sultanate in North India, didn’t have a lot of progress converting ppl to Islam
Sent 2 brothers to South India to see how good of a chance they would have to expand the kingdom
These 2 brothers were some of the Hindus who converted to Islam for power
Surrounded by Hindu faith, and converted back
Set up Vijayanagara Empire (1336) (new Hindu kingdom)
Hinduism dominate religion, small Buddhist minority
Summary of Hindu faith:
Samsara (rebirth)
Atman (soul, divine principle in every person)
Moksha (kinda like heaven, ultimate goal to escape from rebirth)
Brahman (divine being that upholds all of reality)
Point of Moksha is for Atman to dissolve back to Brahman (all of this depends on karma)
Karma: sum of ppl’s life and actions
Bhakti Movement (1100)
Hindus that emphasized on emotional side of devotion
Focus on devotion to one god (similar to Muslim Sufis)
Caste system
Hietachical structure thst divided ppl into 5 groups
Only way to move up bc of karma
Culture
Influenced ppl, and were influenced by others
Indians shared knowledge w/ ppl in Middle East
Arabs built on astronomy from Indians and translated Indian work on Algebra and Geometry and spread it around Dar al-Islam
Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Loas, and Vietnam)
Religion: Filled w/ Hindus and Buddhists
From merchants
Region good to rule over sea-based trade routes
Majapahit Empire (sea-based power, 1293)
Based on island of Java
Largely sustained its power and wealth by controlling sea routes
Buddhists
Khmer Empire (802-1431
Flourished bc of complex irrigation and drainage systems, going to and from Mekong River
Led to agricultural progress
Hindus but converted to Buddhism
Islam (not as big as others)
Bc significant trade route, and Muslims were traders
Got my ap test today, trying to get some last minute information
laos vietnam and p hi li p p i n e s. They were also indianized and were just as advanced. Nusantara 4l.
Gerald Ford won Kansas
— hindu kingdoms had the most influence
— the bhakti movement in 12th century were hindu believers that emphasized emotional side of devotion to one hindu god. they were similar to the suffis
— se asia (indonesia, thailand, laos, cambodia) were primarily hindu and bhuddists because of merchants
— ruled sea based sea routes
— majapahit empire were bhuddist (1293) and sustained power by controlling sea routes (sea based power)
— khmer empire (802-1431) were land based and flourished because of irrigation systems to mekong river. led to huge agricultural process. hindus but later bhuddists
— muslims were significant traders, so islam lived there, but not as primarily as bhuddism and hinduism
The binging and note taking has begun…LIT THE ONLY THING THATS GONNA SAVE ME
0:11
I’m actually glad they call it “South Asia”, since (at least to me) calling it “India” May be confusing due to the entire area encompassing what are now Bangladesh 🇧🇩, Pakistán 🇵🇰, and Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, as well, in addition to India 🇮🇳
binge watching these videos forgetting im a sophmore and not planning on taking ap world history ever
I wish you were my teacher because your awesome:)
how was the caste system beneficial disregarding the cultural continuity?
Anybody else have
Um, the Philippine islands are part of South East Asia and at one point part of the empires mentioned as well..
Favorite channel rn, quick-to-consume history videos yet entertaining and very educational
Normally I would speed up videos to get through them but for this, I gotta slow it down because everything you say is useful.
