  1. Khushans don't interest me it's too recent wrt bharats history. Many sites excavated in recent times pushes India's timelines beyond western beliefs EG nubra valley , the sunken city of Dwarka. South Indian records show of the debt Rome was in to these south Indian port cities that many times they gave white women to the Hindu kings as part payment bec Rome desired all that was Indian yet couldn't pay back for their hunger.

  2. One of thing that stick to me the most about reading historical stories of my land before the white colonizers is how much we dont like the Keling (indians) because they were rude and brash. They were very different from the Arab and Chinese traders. Even post-colonials, they are the minority that was looked down upon and more prone to be judged as gangsters and hooligans.

  3. One remark that I would like to mention is that Ajanta and Ellora caves are not Buddhist. They were used by Buddishts but originally they were built buy Ancient Hindu civilizations and were places for great Hindu minds to think, meditate and invent.

  4. at 1:41 the map clearly shows it spread from Nepal but the author still chosed to say India.. India and Nepal are two different country.. Nepal is a vedic name given by Lord Pashupatinath himself while India is a name given by Britishers..

  5. Mahayana Buddhism was not only spread to east asia. It was actually spread eastward to southeast asia, especially to the indonesian archipelago. It was the most popular branch of Buddhism in ancient kingdoms such as sriwijaya and mataram (java). Borobudur was a reminder of this era. Ancient Javanese also produced some buddhist text that is still have its influence on Balinese hinduism, such as "Sang Hyang Kamahayanikan".
    In Java, buddhism later mixed with Shaivism and formed a siwa-buddha sect during the middle ages. This sincretism would later be evolved into (or at least influence) what is now Balinese hinduism.

  6. A dacoit once wrote a religious text which which was swallowed hook, line , and sinker, by the gullible, thus stunting and paralyzing the thought process with point of no return for the last 3000 years. Is this channel equally funded by dacoits ?????

  7. You fail to mention that Kanishkar was a great patron of Buddhist and Hindu art, the Ayurveda and other Hindu developments. The caves were both Hindu and Buddhist and they developed on each other. Angkor Wat was also built by the South Indian Kings, who were responsible for the spread of Hindu Culture to Malaysia.

  8. What nonsense …. delhi sultanate had it's empire mostly in north-india as delhi it's capital that's why it's called delhi sultanate but that doesn't mean other empires didn't exits. In south vijayanagara, last of cholas empires, in east kalinga, in north eastern ahom dynasty ruled predominantly.

    The only moslim ruler who ruled 90% of indian subcontinent was tyrant aurangzeb untill subdued by maratha empire 1674-1818.
    The maratha empire was the last large hindu empire & mainly responsible for the fall of mughals.
