    Cultural unity doesnt mean we spoke the same language or followed same laws. Hindus were culturally united due to hindu code of war which was stringently practised by hindu and buddhist king. For example
    1. Never in a war food products, farm lands or corps be destroyed in opposing armies.
    2. Kings made sure no war is fought near population and no harm should be done to civilians, injured soldiers or a soldier who surrender in middle of a fight.
    3. The winner party doesnt kill priest or destroy any place of worship. If any place of worship is damaged then tje winner was supposed to reinstate idol in a new temple.
    4. Water sources cannot be poisoned.
    5. Piligrims were never stoped from enemy states even if they are in middle of war under any circumstance.
    6. Temples provided basic education and money to new enterprise.
    So even if different rulers killed each other in random wars it never affected the local population drastically.

    To understand cultural unity of India, imagine a tree with hundreds of fruits on it. Some might be ripe, some might not be so. Some might be red, some might be yellow. Sizes might differ, taste might differ a bit too. But they are the same fruit from the same tree.
    The backbone of Indian culture is the same.
    There are a vast number of philosophies of Hinduism spanning across several texts and ideas, and Hinduism encourages one to seek your own truth.
    Therefore groups of people often prefer to stick to the interpretation and philosophy they resonate with the most.
    This forms the difference in culture between dofferent groups, but it all comes from the same place.
    For example, many festivals here don't have a fixed date like Christmas, but rather are determined according to the prevalence of the belief system. Like Holi is celebrated in some parts of the country on one day, and in another place on another day- which might differ by a day or two.

    The cultural unity which he talks about around 2000 years ago (today as well but a bit distorted due to different invasions) is basically due to multiple factors:
    - The land itself (Bharat) was always a land of seekers. So knowledge was being put ahead everything else. It was shared across the whole region of Bharat and that is how an ocean of different languages originated and Shastras (Vedas) in those languages but they do share similarities.
    There were fewer conflicts within the kingdom. Focus was on knowledge, trade, Spirituality and war tactics (for defence not for offence).
    There were certain rules for trade, Spirituality, studies and wars that were shared across the land and everyone acknowledged them.
    So basically it was simply people who shared a similar way of living life (Hindu which another word you can say secular or pluralism).

      The rules of War were very different in sanatan warfare than with Invaders...when A King was defeated mostly they chose death over shame, when one King was defeated they don't attack the person who spared their life.... But these Rules and value sometimes This also led to downfall of kingdoms when they were faced with totaly different iedoelogy... There is a thing in sanatan culture that if your enemy accept defeat begs for forgiveness, The victor must give forgiveness... This happened with Prithivi Raj Chauhan 17 times 18th time Ibrahim Lodhi won and took out his eyes and filled them with chilli powder This is the type of cruelty they has to face... That's why a new name of Syndrome originated Prithivi Raj Syndrome where people were rediculed for following their values in face of death and destruction....

      @@CalmSoul.514 Right. The battles in Bharat were fought mostly for defence and if the attacker lost and seek forgiveness they were spared and send back to kingdoms. None of the surrendered soldiers, their family were to harmed even they were helped financially for the financial loss in war and provided proper food and security to them until they returned home.
      The Bharat kingdoms were not prepared for the new (Islamic) kind of warfare and its brutality specially towards females and kids. Slave (Forget about sex slave) terms was unknown in this part of world until then and so does religious conversion as we believed in "Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti" (There is only one truth (or true being) and learned persons call it by many names). This was the reason why Prithivi Raj Chauhan and many other kingdom in Bharat did such FATAL mistakes which cost us around 800 years of slavery and misery.

    By Culturally united he meant that in INDIA their were many different kingdoms with different beliefs like Hinduism (different ideologies of Hinduism) ,Buddhism, jainism ,Sikhism but the core -beliefs ,culture, traditions were mostly the same. Islam came with barbarism (killing, demolishing, plundering, looting the temples) and forcefully tried to convert and tried to erase everything.

    Europe has always been very tribalistic, stems probably from the religious outlook post Greco-roman era, when belief in god became impositional, resulting in first forceful eradication of paganism and then wars among religious sects. Also feudalism and language fueled that inner divide.
    India has been much different, here the population was always free under Dharma, even when divisions in thought arrived they were welcomed and accepted, it's just the nature of the thought system. As Dharma or the upholding natural order was supreme above any faith, ruler, language or for that matterany identity, everyone worked only in service of it. So a ruler who ruled over the whole Indian subcontinent wasn't seen with the lense that wheather he/she belonged to this sect, that caste, of this place or spoke that language, he/she was regarded as the upholder of Dharma and thus everyone accepted him/her.

    India is United by Culture because, Elders are respected on all sides. Every region has their regional deity & beliefs but, all are united under one umbrella of Vedas. We all eat from our hands, we all have almost the same dress code. All, the principles defining good leadership are the same. Whether, it's Indian from any side of the Indian Subcontinent they almost share the same values & Mentality !!! Only, languages are different but, not very distinct. Moreover, Vedas have been an integral part of society & all the Saffron religions. The largest temple ever built is not even in India.

    Bharat is a Cultural Civilization.
    I will give example..
    For British(or Europe in general) they identified people with the race, or with the language they use.
    for us we identify ourselves as culture and not with race or language.
    For us in Bharat we have people with different skin colors, thousands of language and dialects, different food habits dipending on the region.
    And it has nothing to do with people following the same religion (which for out siders perspective is Hindu Religion).
    For us the word Religion itself is alien (which refers to a set of commandments that has to be followed).
    We follow dharma (which is duty). Duty of a Guru towards his/her student. A students duty towards his/her Guru. A husband's duty torwards his wife or wife's duty towards her husband. A Son's duty towards his Father and Mother. A man's duty towards his community. A human's duty towards Nature. and so on...
    A duty based society rather than rights based society.
    It is ture that we have faught many times to preserve this cultural civilization, we won we lost and the cycle continued. But our civilization still exists, so in the end with respect to the current time we came out victorious even though we lost a lot of our ancestral land.
    But when we compare our civilization with other ancient civilization which vanished and only exists in text books or some physical remenants, some became Christian (like greek and roman, etc) then some became islamic (egyptian and other middle eastern civilizations). And one became a communist... lol.
    It tells how much we have resisted that we did not convert or those invaders could not convert us.
    Even though in the last 1000 years those invaders have killed approx. 90 million people(which comes to 250 people killed every single day for 1000 years) in our sub-continent, we resisted.
    In the last 1000+ years of invasions we lost many things, so now we are reclaiming it. We are going back to our roots. Getting better so that what has happened never happens again. It will take time, most likely several decades.

    Cultural unity means, even at those times when there were different kingdoms, we all were essentially Hindu people... And if there is some festival of one god, then it will be celebrated accross the subcontinent, no matter which king is ruilng it... And in some cases, specific places have important significance of a particular god... So the offerings from that place would go to several other Temples even if they are under different rulers...
    And even if one king might attack the area of other king... But he wouldn't destroy culture, he would rather learn about it and appreciate it ...

    Foundational Vedic teaching is same across India but slightly change in rituals are influenced by local language, culture, resources, climate, foods.
    South eastern countries like Thailand, Bali, Indonesia, japan also follow Hinduism, Buddhism with their local modification in ritual.
    India upto Europe there was homogeneous culture & unity. Christianity replaced Europe indigenous culture. Lithuanian indigenous religion Romuva has too much similarities with Vedic Hinduism. Even Romuva symbol is same as Hindu swastik.
    Pre-Christian culture, belief of Poland, Slovakia, Russia, Ukraine, Ireland share similarities with vedic Hinduism. Nordic, Scandinavian mythologies & God are same as Vedic Gods.
    Culture brings people together. Christianity is not culture, it's religion which came from outside Europe that's why u don't feel connection with other Europe nations.
    Hinduism is culture, philosophy & way of life not religion, it brings people together. Example - People to people connection between Nepal & India is very strong.
    When China attacked tibet, all Tibetan took refuge in India not other neighbouring country, same goes for Afghani Sikh & Irani Zoroastrian who took refugees in India.

    Due to Hinduism people approach to the GOD by various ways which is represented by various SAMPRADAYAS but Interestingly these SAMPRADAYAS presence in different geographical location in INDIA for example the TANTRIK tradition of Hinduism present in both "Jammu and Kashmir" and in "Kerala". Where "Jammu and Kashmir" is present in Northern part of India and Kerala is present in southern part of India. The reason behind that the people going for pilgrimage from one part of India to the other part of India. Eg- 4 dham yatra means pilgrimage of 4 major places of worship Jagannath Puri, Rameswaram ,Dwarka and Badrinath. Due to that people travel one part of the country to other part of the country and please not forget that we have different Jyortiliga, Shakti peetha and various holistic places all over India. So the people exchange the culture and tradition one part of the country to the other. Which helps to maintain dharmic fold across the country.

    Children's stories, fables or moral stories such as "Race of the Hare and the Tortoise" or "The Tortoise and the Geese", etc., originated from the Panchatantra written by Vishnu Sharma in the sixth century BCE. His own works were greatly influenced by the Upanishads and the Vedas. These stories of his gained popularity all over the world.
    As early as the eleventh century this work reached Europe, and before 1600 it existed in Greek, Latin, Spanish, Italian, German, English, Old Slavonic, Czech, and perhaps other Slavonic languages. Its range has extended from Java to Iceland. In France, "at least eleven Panchatantra tales are included in the work of La Fontaine."
    It is said that once Vishnu Sharma was invited to the court, where the king offered him hundreds of land grants, awards and other gifts, but he rejected the promised reward saying that "he did not sell knowledge for money" and requested the King to make his knowledge freely available for everyone to access.

    For me the Indian culture is like a Banyan tree. The core principles are the same which is the trunk with the strong diversified roots deeply engraved in its history and with different branches of thoughts which grew as the time passed and from them more roots grew to support them as well the whole tree. For me its like the tolerance and respect for its own as well as other cultures which with time became a part of it.

Those all greek gods used to worship the ultimate god mahadev and many shivlingas are found in greek ancient archeology sites..

    Well the Indian cultural unity is much greater, broader than you think. It has its own identity built over 1000s of years of observation and innovation. There are many greater things but for example, taking simple things, like going to any part of India they always greet you with hands together saying "Namaste or Namaskaram or Namaskara" (resembling humility and respect towards a guest), another example is why do women wear sarees from the north to the south, they are just worn differently but it's identity is the same. Similarly, architectures, traditions and stories that form the basis of the Hindu culture. The very world itself is based on the river Indus which was an identifier for the land and it's culture many 1000s of years ago. These culture and practices were and are still a way of life today as it were 1000s of years ago, which formed the basis of a well balanced lifestyle, physically, morally and spiritually. Another example would be Ayurvedic medicine that are still great forms of treatment which use natural herbs as a method of remedying illnesses. These were the very treatments given to kings back in the day with minor differences in treatment based on regions with similar herbs available in the Indian Subcontinent.

    Hinduism existed as the sole religion in Akhand Bharat and so across kingdoms are culturally connected. Islam and Christianity came 2000 and 1400 years back and depended on conversion for spread of religion. So, destruction of hinduism started with invasions, but couldn't succeed because of cultural connect.

    SUzanne, There is nothing called Hinduism... because, the word 'Hind' was in my understanding and reading was coined by Arabs, just to indicate people living on the other side of the "Hindukush" mountain range. The word "Hinduism" is coined by the so called "West". The word "ism" means - ideology... Hence the word "Hinduism".
    Indians are followers of "Sanathana DHarma". We practice Sanathana Dharma.

    From my understanding, India is a land of seekers, seeking truth by various paths are accepted and hence by default people accepted that. And almost all of the people from thousands of years followed Sanatana dharma or Hinduism whatever you may call it as a way of life but not as a strict rules of a religion and hence many customs vary but the core principles remain the same... Also in the Indian sub-continent, there were millions of deities and guardian deities (for each region or a village, there will a deity who protects & help people) worshipped along with the various forms of Trinity.. And the beauty is that all those millions of gods & goddesses worshipped are some way or the other are believed to be the avatars/forms or directly connected to of the main gods (Trinity & their consorts)...So there's a cultural unity as all the gods & goddesses are from the same ultimate source

    Bharat was diverse from the perspective of how they look, dressing, food as they were aligned with local weather and crop. Cultural unity is in terms of values, social norms, family structure and economic.
    Values: #1 Seeking for the highest. At that time it was enlightenment, basic needs were taken-care of by the society. Yes, no-one would go hungry in that setup - temples took care of everyone. Now it’s poor so they are going after highest material success. That’s why you can see successful Indians in Top500 companies (Google, Microsoft, in the past Pepsi, Worldbank head, etc.) vs Pakistan who share the same blood but much lower percentage
    #2 Respect for everyone including non-living beings. e.g. even today Indians worship things like cars, elephants. Probably the only major civilization who has female goddess. Namaste is bowing down to other, if someone really mean it then they will never disrespect them
    #3 Family structure: Investing in family, sometimes it comes with personal sacrifice.
    #4 Economic: Focused on preserving nature, whole society’s success. Even today traditional business train their employees to open same business vs in modern economics the goal is to crush competition.
    Lastly, don’t expect these things today in India. It’s there but sparse, largely it’s overtaken by the western culture and values.

    The lamps of the western sky have been extinguished,
    Barbaric darkness has spread,

    Our Hindustan has shone.
    By showering love of our hearts,
    We have nurtured the suffering Iranians,
    By lighting the flame of our own lives,
    We have lit the lamps of humanity.
    By giving the world a pot of nectar,
    We had drunk poison,
    We are proud to be hindu

Unlike the Christianity which has founder and spread by popular stories of Jesus by his precessed followers in Hinduism there is no founder and no foundational date. Hinduism is more complex and yet unites us. And there are so many things which take lot of time to cover, lol😁.

    Zuzana a very nice hello. Now let me tell u. India or Bharat was define some thousands of years back. Like in mahabharata. In mahabharata we saw fight of two cousins. In that war kings from Afghanistan mentioned as Pathan fought by side of one brother. Kourava's mother name was Gandhari because she was from Kandhar of current Afghanistan. Its mentioned in Geeta. So cultural , economic , spiritual ties were present since those times. So it's not like current Europen union. Bcoz defense was central issue. All kingdoms were under one umbrella. & also with in India travelling for education, business, spirituality etc r visible on ground. We have been listening these stories by our grand parents. There are proof in terms of temple or annual fare on particular place in rememberence of such incidents.
    For example, we had one state by name of odisha in east of India. From there people used to travel to Indonesia some 4k years ago. A fare is held every year in a month every year, even today in odisha.
    Also u will find something of kind in Indonesia.
    So it is so.

    when you open google map in satlite view you will able to see deserted teritory(non livable land) around India like dry mountains in Baluchistan, afganistan, then Himalaya, then densily forested land in North east. So India was almost a closed until the transportation medium improved that was till 5th century BC. But it had increased the co-dependance of faiths in India and formed a mixed culture that we basically evolved to called as Hindu religion today. That is why so much diversity in hindu idea and independance to be athist or beliver or multi god or single god everything is allowed. We call this land mass where Indian culture developed as AKHAND BHARAT (Undivided India). that consist of todays India, pakistan, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Mayanmar. It doesn't mean Hindu Nationalist want one 1 country India is already very big and we respect the soverinity of aur neigbours. But we want a sense of family type unity that is Hindu Nationalism, we may practice any sect. or religion Sanatan Dharmi, Muslim, Bhudhist, Christian, Jain etc. but we are people of this subcontinent our 1st aligence is to this motherland then to country then to religion. And people of this land is my family and will stand for them in times of invasion or need.

    • @nisheetsinha8687
      @nisheetsinha8687 Місяць тому

      hope people get what is Hindu Nationalism is basically. its a totally different concept for Europeans. For west to understand Hinduism is like Europeanism that you have your countires & rulers but germans, french, polish or slovak you all are one for people of Russia, Turkey or Africa. You are more alike to each other then them. And that land for you it is Europe for us Its Akhand Bharat. Remember like Persian king Xerxes attack Greece, all city state unit to fight for greek identity. But why disaggrement, in India People of certain religions belive that they just live here but their culture is from Arab or Vatican. This difference is not there between people of different religion born in Indian subcontinent like Sikhs, Budhist, Jain etc. So there is always a fight for cultural disintigration for religious expansion and cultural Integration for embracing already existing religious belive.

    You asked about culture. The pre-islamic, India, was a, different place, and different culturally, to what see now. Let me a draw a landscape, and may be, you can mentally be there.
    Bharat, was a country, which extended well beyond it's boundaries. It's main language of communication between territories was, Samskrit, though people, also, spoke the language of their respective geographies. People were knowledgeable, knew the puranas, Itihaas, Upanishads, and in many instances, Vedas. The garments of, Men and Women, were very different, when compared to today. The men wore, panchkachon, or five knots garments, or white, and coloured, skirts. Women, wore a version of, Sari, which in some instances were short of, covering the knees. Both, Men and Women, wore extensive jewellery. The primary, occupation was, agriculture, cloth weaving, beads and jewellery manufacturing, making and selling clay cooking utensils, education, Ship Building, and Global Trading, and Military, to name a few. Their entertainment was, dance, drama, music, puppetry, drinking of soma, chess, and other board, and shell games. People, would go for teerth, religious pilgrimage, to, shaiva, vaishnav, and Devi temples. They were expert metallurgist, (in-fact had invented what is now known as, Damascus Steel), and had created a rust-proof iron, which is still there near what they call the, Qutub Minar, they were expert in, architecture, which were made to last. They created martial arts, which we now find in, China, which was taken there by a monk from, Kerala. In fact, Shaolin Temple, was created by this monk. They, also, had huge, university complexes, and many were spread across the country. The educational model was very advanced, and was the best even when compared to today. Most of the subjects which I am going to list, were brought into existence, by these universities, or their affiliates. The created, Mathematics, Algebra, Geometry, Trignometry (had developed, π, and calculus, to name a few), Astronomy, Astrology, Weights and Measures, Literature, Language, Sciences, Medicine, Surgery, Gynacology, and many more.
    This civilisation, has no beginning. However, it did reach it's nadir, because of trusting, and believeing.

    In bharat the states were created after independence only for administration purpose.. It does not have any other relevance than this. In bharat cultural connects the every person through aatma (soul).. It means consciousness... There is no meaning of race and ethnicity in this.. In bharat temples are at every corners of bharat which chants same mantras which means we are same... So when use term culture in bhartiya context it means different to European culture theory.
