@@BJGvideos Yeah, i've heard of him.I really wish he could be a character in the Samurai Warriors game. Unfortunately I heard that the developers didn't want to do it because they were worried it might be sensitive to some people. Because he was a samurai that served Oda Nobunaga. Which is a damn shame because the real life Yasuke is such a fascinating story
@@aimanmarzuqi4804 I mean Yasuke was a slave and a "gift" to Oda Nobunaga. I think that only he should be used is if they got a real-life African or African American to voice him. I vote Samuel L. "Mother Fucking" Jackson to voice the real-life Afro Samurai.
Heh. I thought of Jotaro too. All I could think of Malik Ambar's thought process as he takes everything in stride is a simple sigh; "How tedious is this..." Legit, Ambar's a pretty big dick chad.
@@bertholdvonzahringen6799 also [from what I've read] in the Ottoman Empire, Christian boys were often "kidnapped" (I put that in quotations coz they paid the parents about as often as they didn't, depending on who you read; still their children were taken away, hence I digress) and taken as slaves by the Ottoman court and general bureaucracy to be converted, educated and/or trained to either serve as officials or soldiers. Some, like Pargali Ibrahim Pasha (probably spelling it wrong) became Vizier of the Empire. To go back to the parents for a second; yes, all hated that their kids were being taken away, but SOME put up with it because they knew a Christian peasant had NO CHANCE of upward mobility in the Empire in comparison to a slave in the Ottoman court, and parents being parents, were thinking of their long term fares & fortunes. NOT SAYING ANY OF THIS WAS & IS FINE; JUST ILLUSTRATING how cultures often treated the more tangent and ancillary aspects of slavery QUITE differently from one another...
So what percentage of the Ottoman slave population did actually acheive any social advancement of note conpares to their free counterpart? I doubt it could be that many.
I'm doing well, given all things 2020! A little stressed trying to double production, but of course this was recorded a while ago - I think this episode just came out a little low energy. I appreciate your concern!
I was wondering too! My 12 yr old likes the way you tell it. He said "he's not being funny dad". I told him everyone had lost their sense is humor lately buddy. It was still a good video. I always look forward to them.
@Michael Inman Uh oh, it's always the kids that can tell when something's not as funny. You can tell him I'll be trying my best to bring my A-game back in the next episode 😁
@@tinbtinb1148 in the past, our history books used in schools didn't mention him at all but have atleast two chapters dedicated to the Mughals. Now it's changing but Malik Ambar is still not mentioned.
I totally would! Heck, I thought about switching half way through this video, but the information about her that I included in the video covers most of what's known about her :\
Lord, technically. We have a lot of loanwords from persian in India. Heck, urdu is persianised Hindustani and its spoken widely here and its completely intelligible to sanskritised hindustani (hindi).
Just be careful not to confuse Malik with Malik (I did not confuse the spelling, roman letters aren't helpful here), one is a king and the other is an owner, where the word mamluk came from (a slave, although abd is more commonly used, mamluk was still used at some point). Malik (one who owns) is still a common first name today, King isn't, although Malak might still be used as a name (from angel)
Maybe the Western slaves were just being lazy. /s But more seriously, slavery varied a lot between cultures even among different western ones over time and location and even individuals. An enslaved Greek scholar serving a Roman household will be treated differently than a German man impressed into an army who will be treated differently than the public slaves acting as firefighters and court police in Rome who will be treated differently from an African slave in Brazil on a sugar plantation who will be treated differently than a colonial American house slave. Some could buy their freedom while others weren't even allowed to have any personal property to begin to do so. Some were respected for their personal merits, while others were worked to death in a few months. Some were released on their masters' deaths, while others would have their entire family lines be in perpetual servitude. Some were basically considered family members and others were considered subhuman trash or unenlightened savages. Slavery has a lot more complexities and forms than most people realize.
0:20 ; I shouldnt be laughing, but there’s something funny about a 19th century west african dahomey amazon being featured amongst the early modern (1500-1600) east-african originating slaves. How did she get there?!? Good video though.
Yeah I noticed all that too. I think he got lazy trying to find accurate pictures because he was just throwing random pictures of "Africans" around up until he started talking about Malik being fully in the Deccan

Instead of painting Jesus in black to feel a fake African race superiority, amber Malik and the afro samurai are a good representation for the afro race
@@artair70 He wasnt just a samurai he was top commander of the most fearsome Japanese warlord. He literally led entire armies of foot soldiers and samurai. So you're technically right.
India just like Japan and Europe, many warlord, Prince, Kings, Emir, Raja, who control the biggest claim emperor titles, that why India-Pakistan have thousand of fort like castle. one india province at least have 2 fort or castle.
This is a good example of the difference between racially motivated Christian slavery where slaves aren’t considered humans and the one in the middle east
Malik Ambar was a prime minister of Ahmednagar Sultnate. Mughal emperor Jahangir was unable to defeat Malik Ambar because of local Maratha chieftains with Ahmednagar. When Mughal emperor Shah Jahan came to know this, he bribed many Marathas on his side so Adil Shah aided Ahmednagar to protect themselves from Mughals. After Malik Ambar, it was Shahjiraje Bhosle(whose father served in the army of Malik Ambar) protected Ahmednagar with Bijapur assistance but Adil shah made a peace with Mughals and on the orders of Shah Jahan placed Shahjiraje Bhosle in deep south in Bangalore but his son, Shivajiraje Bhosle first defeated Adilshah, then the Mughal forces in Deccan and carved out his independent kingdom.
Brilliant video. What a legend. Shame the story of malik isn't more well known. (although i suspect anyone even thinking about making a movie or a game based on his life would immediately be accused of "woke pandering", "political agenda" and generally not being racist enough.)
could you do a video on Akhenaten? or the pyramid worker Inspector Merer? That'd be interesting, anyways thanks for the new upload, will always look forward to learn more with humors 😆

Lord, technically. We have a lot of loanwords from persian in India. Heck, urdu is persianised Hindustani and its spoken widely here and its completely intelligible to sanskritised hindustani (hindi).
Technically it was usable as a name, so I thought this was his name since Jack didn't replace it with King or just say Ambar
