Before British marathas were ruling India and before maratha Aurangzeb the mugal king. Did you know In 1700, the exchequer of the Emperor Aurangzeb reported an annual revenue of more than £100 million, or $450 million, more than ten times that of his contemporary Louis XIV of France, while controlling just 7 times the population Until British Started looting India in the name of civilization.

A politically fragmented entity that was frequently pillaged by raids from Persia and Afghanistan. Mughal power was disintegrating, Sikhs and Marathas were on the rise and British and French were competing for the market.
What's the group of people he refers to at 34:37? Amadias? Some group of muslims?
Elaborate discussion
Before 10 day i am watching this for graduation exam 😂
He is not even mentioning the marathas. They were one of the prime reasons for the decline of Mongol (aka mogul) oppressors.

Professor , it seems you are biased, may be there are reasons for your biases, any way, it was a great introductory lecture, I really liked it, it was not at all boring...I am just interested in understanding why you guys have such views... for that reason I planning to watch whole lecture series...hoping other contents are as interesting as the introductory lecture...I was looking for a complete indian history lecture series from some indian university professors, but could not find one...

@Kay Ray then why he's teaching rubbish
I prefer teachers who are not bossy.
He takes a 'slightly different' view all the time. Talks AS IF violence was some kind of European invention, ignoring centuries of bloodshed. Another edgy opinion he gives about afro-americans not being full citizens without even citing an argument.

@@manubhatt3 This is quite simply not true, and is indicative of a viewpoint steeped in racial spite. Look up Assyrian and neo-Babylonian conquests and their treatment of the Jews and other subjugated races, hell, even most Mongol campaigns and their treatment of any racial group whom they could not or had no desire to assimilate. Racial violence is as old as race, most conquest-based empires have employed it, and to try and frame it as the "white man's sin" is myopic and gross, and will not age well in the context of a future world history. There is more compassion hidden in exhaustive nuance than there is in casting lazy aspersions without proper evidence. I'm sorry human history can't conform to your racism.

There is no doubt African Americans are second class citizens. As a non American, it’s so easy to see that.

@@djoooop I would recommend the book , India Persianate age by Richard m Eaton to understand why the conquest by Afghans and Mughals were more on political grounds than on religion lines. Even destruction of temples were a political act and was done even by local indian rulers as well . So though I agree that it was violent ,thy did not have the British idea of superiority over the local populace

@@shsh-rf7mi Thanks for your recommendation. Without trying to be dismissive, I do want to say that here you have a (contemporary) western professor who disagrees with the Indian PM for example, who reduced the medieval period to “1200 years of slavery” (from the Indian perspective). So to me it’s a bit weird to say that those older historical works were written by biased westerners and we should now ignore not only them but also the statements of Indians themselves, politically motivated or not. All this in exchange for another western view that seems to practice moral relativism mostly when its suits their narrative. Eventhough the conquest of India wasn’t as destructive to the Indian culture as the conquest of the Americas to their native populations, I’d argue that political and religious motivations were heavily intertwined in both histories.

I disagree with his argument that African Americans are not as socio-economically advanced as white Americans, or in his words not full citizens, because of oppression. It's a non sequitur. After he makes that claim, he then turns around and says basically that Barack Obama's election to the presidency isn't evidence that he's wrong. Question: has any other country in the world with a white majority of citizens ever elected a mulatto president?
