@@alexhu5491 Firstly, the Britishers made the so called "caste" system more RIGID. Secondly, he is right, India's global share of GDP was 32% BEFORE the islamic inavsions.... Bhagvad Gita 4.13 - 'The four categories of occupations were created by Me according to people’s qualities and activities. Although I am the Creator of this system, know Me to be the Non-doer and Eternal.' COMMENTARY on Gita 4.13 👇 The Vedas classify people into four categories of occupations, not according to their birth, but according to their natures. Such varieties of occupations exist in every society. Even in communist nations where equality is the overriding principle, the diversity in human beings cannot be smothered. There are the philosophers who are the communist party think-tanks, there are the military men who protect the country, there are the farmers who engage in agriculture, and there are the factory workers. The Vedic philosophy explains this variety in a more scientific manner. It states that the material energy is constituted of three guṇas (modes): sattva guṇa (mode of goodness), rajo guṇa (mode of passion), and tamo guṇa (mode of ignorance). The Brahmins are those who have a preponderance of the mode of goodness. They are predisposed toward teaching and worship. The Kshatriyas are those who have a preponderance of the mode of passion mixed with a smaller amount of the mode of goodness. They are inclined toward administration and management. The Vaishyas are those who possess the mode of passion mixed with some mode of ignorance. Accordingly, they form the business and agricultural class. Then there are the Shudras, who are predominated by the mode of ignorance. They form the working class. This classification was neither meant to be according to birth, nor was it unchangeable. Shree Krishna explains in this verse that the classification of the Varṇāśhram system was according to people’s qualities and activities. Although God is the creator of the scheme of the world, yet he is the non-doer. This is similar to the rain. Just as rain water falls equally on the forest, yet from some seeds huge banyan trees sprout, from other seeds beautiful flowers bloom, and from some thorny bushes emerge. The rain, which is impartial, is not answerable for this difference. In the same way, God provides the souls with the energy to act, but they are free in determining what they wish to do with it; God is not responsible for their actions.

Samudragupta was the real GIGACHAD. He was: 1) Bold enough to unite the warring kingdoms and janapadas of the Gangetic Plain. 2) Intelligent enough to consolidate his power over the fertile Plain and make people realize that unity is strength. 3) Merciful enough to not kill his tributary kings. 4) not power hungry enough to incorporate every territory he crossed. 5) tolerant of other religions 6) an excellent military leader 7) an accomplished poet and musician And yes, seven is the magic number.

@@surajprakash3181 Definitely, Indian history and Sri Lankan history are throughly linked together & have had strong ties well before ancient periods, but wouldn’t you say Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan & Nepal have closer affinities with India? Maybe I am biased, as I am a Sinhalese Sri Lankan, but us being cut off from the rest of the subcontinent (including the Maldives) means we ended up developing our own version of an Indianized civilization that was unique to the rest of South Asia. Buddhism unfortunately fading in India meant Sri Lanka saw it self as being a great bastion of Theravada Buddhism which would go on to spread throughout South East Asia. Either way we are both brothers from similar yet unique cultures and age old civilizations.

3:40 The Ashvamedha Yajna was a horse sacrifice ritual of Vedic Aryan. It was used by ancient Indian kings to prove their imperial sovereignty: a horse accompanied by the king's warriors would be released to wander for a year. In the territory traversed by the horse, any rival could dispute the king's authority by challenging the warriors accompanying it. After one year, if no enemy had managed to kill or capture the horse, the animal would be guided back to the king's capital. It would be then sacrificed, and the king would be declared as an undisputed sovereign.

yes, Gupta Empire covered the entirety of Northern India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Samudragupta also conquered the entire eastern coast up to Kanchipuram but they were not made direct provinces, just vassals. The Guptas also defeated the Kushans and made them vassals, thus making eastern Afghanistan under indirect Gupta rule. The Vakaktaaks of Central India were basically under Gupta control too from Chandragupta II due to his daughter Prabhavatigupta becoming Queen there. The Guptas also had marriage alliances with the Kadambas of Southern Karnataka but they probably didn't have much political influence there.

Truly, the might of the Indian empires was unbelievable. And no shocking that this was because of the teachings & values of the Sanatan Dharma. With due respect for all religions.

Really nice way to portray the Gupta dynasty. It would also be great if you can make a video on The Mighty Chola Empire and their conquests.

The only Indian Empire that understood the value of an Overseas Empire. If the Mughals, Mauryans, Guptas, and Marathas understood the value of such an Empire, a lot of South East Asia (and other places) would have been conquered by us in the 17th and 18th centuries.

@@shubhnamdeo2865 There is a reason why neither the Mauryas or Guptas or Mughals were able to conquer South. It's because of Cheras, Cholas & Pandiyas. The Cholas have conquered parts of north india and countries overseas because they wanted to control the entire sea route. So that's what it is basically.

Yes, he was possibly a musician. Samudragupta's sandhivigrahika (minister of war and peace) Harisena's Prayag prashasti (eulogy) describes Samudragupta as a muscian and this is supplemented by gold coins in which he is shown playing veena.
