@@man_vith1 You can't blame him. That palace has a lot of building parts made by Muslims as you can see in the video. Since modi came, Hindu-Muslim unity have been fallen apart. I think that is his point.
There are very few cases of sati in India like 1 in a million cases compare that to the witch burning trails in America which was like 1 in thousand at that time.
you know invaders used to rape women , capture them and use as sex slave , they also sold them in markets , and many were tourchered too, and if they dont burn their body their dead body will be raped , and they cannot trust others to burn their body they servants can be bribed to preserve the body for invaders , now just imagine you are one of her subjects and some barbaric invader is raping your maharani's body (dead /alive) in the open infront of all the subject , also there were many traitors who would want to use maharani and their daughters to legitimise their rule so they cant aford that too , also most troops who were loyal to the royal family died fighting with maharaja but some of the traitors would be still present in the palace and no loyal troops to protect them they have no choice but to die a dignified death so their body is not at display ans some did out of emotion and love for her husband

Yeah I think it was Bhagwatsinhji Maharaja of Gondal. A true gentleman and servor of his pupils. This story is interesting but less about eccentricity and more about his national pride tho (he went to showroom wearing a dhoti I think).
2:00 she did not say "she was to life" what she said was "she was burnt alive" (you can trust me i am Indian and can check the "sati ritual" if you wanna check it out
@@Aloksharma-oe1gm sati is not a practice, but an emotions of an indian women which come after the death of a person with whom she emotionally attached, he can be her son, husband, nephew etc ..for example"" Rani Bhatiyani'" had been sati on her son. So it was her own decision, and after showing that she has capable of it, society or village permit her to do so.... So it is not practice 🙏🙏
Sati is something women done it with their will because they doesnt want get abused by any other attacker.. Johar and sati both are done by womens will to protect her body even after the death. But some one get it done by forcefully. When a women get sati because of someones atrack they might give a curse also
Buying 23 rolls royces and burning them is such a waste of money,collected as rent from the public. It should be used to look after the people and the village which is so dilapidated,including the palace grounds
The writing in persio-arabic script was: یہ محل الہی بخش کاریگر نے بنایا 1941 (Urdu) Translation: This palace was made by architect Ilahi Bakhsh in 1941.
@@jayakrishnanrajesh7914 I know this story, her wish for sati was opposed so she cursed the family ,however she commited sati but her curse didn't go away, there is also a saying in Rajasthani that if you stop a woman from committing sati wilfully you will be cursed by Mata Sati, I am a Rajasthani and one thing I can tell for sure is Sati was never forced just few random one two cases were popularised by RRR and his Samaj and portrayed sati as something forced upon women, sati was always women choice, you will find examples of Women leading kingdoms after husband death like Rani Nainavati, Rani Roopmati who didn't choose sati, if sati was forced they would have been also forced but not and also example of Rani Padmini committing sati to save herself from Khilji, one more story is, Amar singh was killed by Shah Jahan and his dead body was not handed over to his family, then his wife demanded her brother to bring back body of Amar singh because she wanted to comit sati with his Husband body then her brother along with few men, recovered Amar singh body.
@@jayakrishnanrajesh7914 Re-watch the video. She clearly stated that the family members opposed her Idea of becoming a sati, which is why she cursed them.
Sati is really complicated....only women who wished performed it...we have many examples of queens who didn't perform sati and led kingdoms....we also have examples of only one wife commits sati and the rest stay on or vice versa... generally sati was prevalent only in Aristocratic military families and mostly in rajasthan....
I'm surprised to see in this modern age an old man is touching the feet of an younger person,not as respect as a duty and she didn't even stop that old man people say we are independent seeing this make me question that , I don't think there is a need for bowing or touching feet in any kind of job,it was before independence when we were under the British,we the educated youn people should stop this unwanted things.i hope the change will come fast and it will empower the weak,and strong and let you , help you live a life truly independent
we elder brothers/man touch feet of unmarried women as we see them as godess , i touch feet of cousin who is almost 10 years younger than me, even my grandfather touch her feet, learn about Rajasthani traditions
Fascinating story. That palace has seen better days. It is literally stripped of area carpets furnishings etc. It’s also very dirty abs unrestored. It appears that they have lost a lot of money. The photo is montage in his style as he has done with the other families. It’s a bit dramatic to bring the cursed Sati story to life with symbols and a death plane model. It worked however as messy as it all was. Entropy seems to be a part of his staging of all these photo shoots.
Phenomenal picture just a still image that tells us the vast and beautiful history of Bhinai, really magnificent! , props to the Nicholas for executing an an amazing piece of art. 😍☺🤯👍👍👍
It is complicated. Before 2500 years Sati was a choice. From 1000AD to 1700 AD Sati was performed so that women don't end up in a Mughal or Nawabi Harem.
@@richardv9648 Burning yourself is never a choice. Its either force, brainwashing or manipulation. If girls were raised into believing that Sati made their lives worth it, it was never really a choice.

As Tarnicles has commented below: The 'words written in Arabic' at 6.24 are actually a Hindustani/Urdu inscription (written in Perso-Arabic script). It reads : yeh mahal Ilahi Bakhsh kareegar (craftsman) ney tayyar kiaa samat (samvat) 1941 ( trans.: this palace was built by the mason Ilahi Bakhsh in the year 1884 CE). It's so amazing that the Maharaja hired a Muslim craftsman or mason. This mason must be one of his loyal subjects. As the Maharani has described, his descendant Sadik is still serving the royal family. It also looks like there was nobody there who was able to read the Urdu script.
Rajputs had mostly very friendly relations with Muslims, the tradition continues till date, even today in Rajasthan you will find rajput youngsters almost always have a Muslim best friend. Sadly with wahabi and salafi influence, radical Islam is gaining grounds and naturally as a reaction more conflicts between Hindus and Muslims.
It was only done by women's of warrior caste only like rajputs womens out of her free will And don't try to interpret why they even did out of free will because your 32 iq brain won't be able to comprehend so instead begon with your tik tok and insta reels

In Mysore, Karnataka there's a royal family that is cursed. The members of the royal family cannot have children. So if the current King/Queen wants kids they should adopt a child. Once this child grows up and gets married, he/she can have a child because they are adopted. But this new child cannot have children. This has been happening for generations and every alternate generation has to adopt. The power that curses in those days had is spectacular
@@whereisrozzie have you been to Mysore palace? Of Krishna Raja odeyar It was he who was cursed long ago. About 2 years ago the current queen adopted a relative of hers and got him married to a girl from the royal family of Rajasthan
@@whereisrozzie it's not a song, it's a story. News shows about adoption and marriage details when it's there. But story has come from generations. That curse is said to be the reason they are not having kids
She must have been forcefully burned by others hence the curse. She is telling wrong that she wanted to die. Even the one who wants to die quits after it starts burning.

When you start your narration with "Any village in india has 15,000 people" type claim is not just ignorant, its racism in disguise. Where did u get that data ? I live in india, I know lot of huge villages with just 100s of people. Better use your "figure of speech" in middle of the narration, Not when u start the narration. U loose credibility.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR DOCUMENTING THIS.... And best part was 13:48 when she was explaining those people that how important and respected you guys are.... they were feeling like so overwhelmed and emotional... Thank you so much. This artwork is just a gem you created. Lots of love.
Im so glad I came across to this through UA-cam recommendations. It is nice to know a part of culture, tradition and life stories of certain country or people.
The world and all its cultures are simply too fascinating to describe. I'm truly sorry I was born at a time when the Internet was not in the world. I was online from the start, but we didn't have the vast diversity we have now...and now, I'm too ill and too poor to travel to all the glorious places and cultures I watch and read about. Thank you, Slice, for bringing this into my life.
What a lovely Royal family, so friendly and warm. Loved this documentary.
"With kindness with firmness, I used to do things my way" ❤ powerful!
I'would appreciate the work done by all the people involved in this episode. It signifaces the Ancient Indian culture followed by Maharajas from generation to generations. I really like the portrait that captured at end of the video. It is absolutely gorgeous. Good work guys
Through all the storytelling I was worried the if images would be underwhelming.. thankfully I was wrong!! The final outcome was amazing, condensed and thought provoking.. credits to the photographer, crew and the royal family.. 👏

I give this video 10 out of 10 .I enjoyed the history lesson as well as the awesome way in which it was documented
2:01 It's "She was burnt alive." Not "She was born to life."
"She burned alive"
She burned herself
Sati was based on choice of women not every women did that
I just want to say that in most cases sati was not voluntary. Many woman were forced into doing it.
There are very few cases of sati in India like 1 in a million cases compare that to the witch burning trails in America which was like 1 in thousand at that time.
you know invaders used to rape women , capture them and use as sex slave , they also sold them in markets , and many were tourchered too, and if they dont burn their body their dead body will be raped , and they cannot trust others to burn their body they servants can be bribed to preserve the body for invaders , now just imagine you are one of her subjects and some barbaric invader is raping your maharani's body (dead /alive) in the open infront of all the subject , also there were many traitors who would want to use maharani and their daughters to legitimise their rule so they cant aford that too , also most troops who were loyal to the royal family died fighting with maharaja but some of the traitors would be still present in the palace and no loyal troops to protect them they have no choice but to die a dignified death so their body is not at display
ans some did out of emotion and love for her husband

That Maharaja was on the sigma grindset before it was cool.

If you are an indian tell me what do you know about Sati??. I hope you have read more rather than ebnabatuta , or Marxist theory.
Actually if you hear it carefully, she said "She was burnt alive, but she did it on her own will".
actually sati is an indo aryan practice
@@Aloksharma-oe1gm sati is not a practice, but an emotions of an indian women which come after the death of a person with whom she emotionally attached, he can be her son, husband, nephew etc ..for example"" Rani Bhatiyani'" had been sati on her son. So it was her own decision, and after showing that she has capable of it, society or village permit her to do so.... So it is not practice 🙏🙏
Sati is something women done it with their will because they doesnt want get abused by any other attacker.. Johar and sati both are done by womens will to protect her body even after the death. But some one get it done by forcefully.
When a women get sati because of someones atrack they might give a curse also
Buying 23 rolls royces and burning them is such a waste of money,collected as rent from the public. It should be used to look after the people and the village which is so dilapidated,including the palace grounds
The writing in persio-arabic script was:
یہ محل الہی بخش کاریگر نے بنایا 1941
(Urdu)
Translation:
This palace was made by architect Ilahi Bakhsh in 1941.
Thank you
These new so called maharajas can't even pay for palace renovation...
Bro ..I think sati was forced..reason why she cursed the family...who's curse will work when saved from killing themselves?🤔
She is correct, she cursed because she was stopped from doing Sati.
@@ranveersr8080 how did you conclude?..don't say history .coz it is what you make it and what your saying might be true...cuz you never know
@@jayakrishnanrajesh7914 I know this story, her wish for sati was opposed so she cursed the family ,however she commited sati but her curse didn't go away, there is also a saying in Rajasthani that if you stop a woman from committing sati wilfully you will be cursed by Mata Sati, I am a Rajasthani and one thing I can tell for sure is Sati was never forced just few random one two cases were popularised by RRR and his Samaj and portrayed sati as something forced upon women, sati was always women choice, you will find examples of Women leading kingdoms after husband death like Rani Nainavati, Rani Roopmati who didn't choose sati, if sati was forced they would have been also forced but not and also example of Rani Padmini committing sati to save herself from Khilji, one more story is, Amar singh was killed by Shah Jahan and his dead body was not handed over to his family, then his wife demanded her brother to bring back body of Amar singh because she wanted to comit sati with his Husband body then her brother along with few men, recovered Amar singh body.
@@jayakrishnanrajesh7914 Re-watch the video. She clearly stated that the family members opposed her Idea of becoming a sati, which is why she cursed them.
Sati is really complicated....only women who wished performed it...we have many examples of queens who didn't perform sati and led kingdoms....we also have examples of only one wife commits sati and the rest stay on or vice versa... generally sati was prevalent only in Aristocratic military families and mostly in rajasthan....
Their Castle was Made by Muslim Archetect.
The prince became sattebaz 🤣 that's why he didn't even was included in the picture
Artistically profound. There are many remnants of bygone eras, families, kingdoms in India. Many are still living in a crumbling facade of these eras.
13:22 no words 👌 amazing 👏👏
I'm surprised to see in this modern age an old man is touching the feet of an younger person,not as respect as a duty and she didn't even stop that old man people say we are independent seeing this make me question that , I don't think there is a need for bowing or touching feet in any kind of job,it was before independence when we were under the British,we the educated youn people should stop this unwanted things.i hope the change will come fast and it will empower the weak,and strong and let you , help you live a life truly independent
0:41 : old man touches the feet of a young woman, Naah I am good without watching this documentary.
we elder brothers/man touch feet of unmarried women as we see them as godess , i touch feet of cousin who is almost 10 years younger than me, even my grandfather touch her feet, learn about Rajasthani traditions
Fascinating story. That palace has seen better days. It is literally stripped of area carpets furnishings etc. It’s also very dirty abs unrestored. It appears that they have lost a lot of money. The photo is montage in his style as he has done with the other families. It’s a bit dramatic to bring the cursed Sati story to life with symbols and a death plane model. It worked however as messy as it all was. Entropy seems to be a part of his staging of all these photo shoots.
Phenomenal picture just a still image that tells us the vast and beautiful history of Bhinai, really magnificent! , props to the Nicholas for executing an an amazing piece of art. 😍☺🤯👍👍👍
Sati was a cruel harsh ruthless act forcibly done on widows.
0:41 A old man touches feet of this lady... She doesn't deny once.
I don't think this made them royal.
POOR ATTITUDE.
He converted those rolls Royce into dustbins😳, giving me an insight why the royals are called the royals😃
The woman made the whole SATI tradition sound complicated.
It was. Wrong but it was complex. And some (maybe a lot) were forced and not doing it could mean social ostracization.
Exactly most of the time the widows were forced to perform Sati because it became a tradition by then.
It is complicated. Before 2500 years Sati was a choice. From 1000AD to 1700 AD Sati was performed so that women don't end up in a Mughal or Nawabi Harem.
@@richardv9648 Burning yourself is never a choice. Its either force, brainwashing or manipulation. If girls were raised into believing that Sati made their lives worth it, it was never really a choice.

Kings and queens were much more loyal for their people from today’s politicians. I have heard that when the maharaja of Marwar died nearly all the Marwaris living in the country shaved their heads. This was the respect in them for their kings.
What a picture!!! Loved the documentary. Thanks for portraying the traditions correctly. 🙌🔥
The ladies of the royal family seem so nice, likeable people! I wish there was a longer film about them
handling those old books in this fashion seems a bit weird.
As Tarnicles has commented below: The 'words written in Arabic' at 6.24 are actually a Hindustani/Urdu inscription (written in Perso-Arabic script). It reads : yeh mahal Ilahi Bakhsh kareegar (craftsman) ney tayyar kiaa samat (samvat) 1941 ( trans.: this palace was built by the mason Ilahi Bakhsh in the year 1884 CE).
It's so amazing that the Maharaja hired a Muslim craftsman or mason.
This mason must be one of his loyal subjects.
As the Maharani has described, his descendant Sadik is still serving the royal family.
It also looks like there was nobody there who was able to read the Urdu script.
Rajputs had mostly very friendly relations with Muslims, the tradition continues till date, even today in Rajasthan you will find rajput youngsters almost always have a Muslim best friend. Sadly with wahabi and salafi influence, radical Islam is gaining grounds and naturally as a reaction more conflicts between Hindus and Muslims.
Amazing 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Sati Ritual was the Inhuman thing i have ever heard about...
This was not very prevalent in our country and also women did it with their own will and most of the time their families persuaded them not to do so
It was only done by women's of warrior caste only like rajputs womens out of her free will
And don't try to interpret why they even did out of free will because your 32 iq brain won't be able to comprehend so instead begon with your tik tok and insta reels
Modern thinking didn't existed back then
Even emperors themselves tries to stop women from doing sati but they still did that

Sati was not prevalent across all societies. In my community ie Jats if elder brother die his wife was remarried to Younger brother. That's why devar bhabhi and jeeja sali relationship is flirtatious.

In Mysore, Karnataka there's a royal family that is cursed.
The members of the royal family cannot have children.
So if the current King/Queen wants kids they should adopt a child. Once this child grows up and gets married, he/she can have a child because they are adopted.
But this new child cannot have children.
This has been happening for generations and every alternate generation has to adopt.
The power that curses in those days had is spectacular
Hi pls I live in Mysore I'm a foreign I need more information on this

@@whereisrozzie it's not a song, it's a story. News shows about adoption and marriage details when it's there. But story has come from generations. That curse is said to be the reason they are not having kids
She must have been forcefully burned by others hence the curse. She is telling wrong that she wanted to die. Even the one who wants to die quits after it starts burning.
