  • The Indo-Scythians or the Shaka became a dominant power at the start of the First Century BC in India. They were responsible for destroying the Indo-Greeks. In this video, I talk about the history of the Shakas and how they ended up ruling a significant portion of India.

    Really well made content, hope to see more such youtubers like you who enlighten upon the Ancient Indian history
    The Question I have is - What was the anthropological makeup of Yeuzhi and Shakas? During the Saka period, did they intermix with the local populace?
    Idea for a future video - I would really like you to enlighten us about the ancient Indian geography. I came to know that the ancient name of Ravi was Parushni, it made me wonder what are ancient names of other geographical locations and landmarks in India. It would be a really interesting video!

    • @JayVardhanSingh

    Sakas were from Turkestan-Tajikistan area from where they attacked Kabul(Baktriya) and Peshawar(Gandhar) and ruled for some time until they were over thrown by Parthians.
    Parthians took control of these area and started an era of mixing of iranian religion Zoroastrian and Buddhism. This period is known as Indo greek.
    Sakas were displaced and later moved into india. They remained a mercenary tribe for iranian kings.

      1. If you are interested in History text book then Upinder Singh's A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India is a good book.
      2. If you want to read a book which is well written and covers different aspect of Ancient India then A.L Basham's The Wonder that was India will be good for you.
      3. If you want to read Ancient Indian History in a narrative fashion then you can read Abraham Eraly's Gem in the Lotus, First Spring Vol 1 & Vol 2.
      I hope that answers your question and thank you again for such kind words.

    Dhanyavaad, Jay Vardhan Singh Jee ! Does the ancient period of Indian History end in 1192 ? Babur, too, invaded India, after he was evicted from Samarkand, right ? Looks like, that is often the reason for migrations and invasions.

    • @JayVardhanSingh
      @JayVardhanSingh  Рік тому +1

      When the Ancient period ends, is matter of great debate. Some scholars think that with the death of Harsha the ancient period came to an end. Some believe that it was with the Arab invasion, some say it was with the Battle of Tarain, some say it was with the fall of the Kakatiyas of Warangal.
      About your second, yes, migration of tribes is most important and common reasons for many invasions.

      Well, I'd say Indonesia and many South east asian country's were colonized by South Indian kings and Buddhist missionaries from there. It has no relation with north Indian kingdoms or kings. :) It's facts, because of linguistic similarity in between South east asian langauges and South Indian/Sri Lankan language. But probably this knowledge related to 'Sakas' which were predominant as a group in northern part of South Asia, reached through South Indian kings and southern Buddhists missionaries, who reached there.

      If I am not wrong, this is a chapter in 12th NCERT. I think you should ignore this claim. I have just completed my MA in History, and one of the most important principles that I have learned is that you don't have to agree with every historical interpretation. You have to use your judgment while reading these interpretations. And one of the best ways to do this is to ask yourself whether what you are reading is a fact or an opinion. If it is an opinion, then it can be questioned.
      Now about the role of Brahmins concerning the Caste system. If anybody claims that only Brahmins benefitted from the Caste system, then they don't know what they are talking about. The Emergence of the Caste system was due to multiple factors, and if somebody claims that it was solely due to Brahmins, he doesn't know how social sciences work. Even historians like Romila Thapar argue that the Emergence of the Caste system resulted from economic and social factors where the role of Brahmins was minuscule.

    The Flower Ornament Sutra or AvatamSAKA Sutra is a large Sutra in Mahayana Buddhism. The material first written in Sanskrit was collected by the Saka and translated into Saka, who adopted the Brahmi script. I am very curious to learn if the Saka text or fragments of this giant Sutra exist. It was translated into English by Thomas Cleary who mentioned the Saka and the use of their collected texts as the version used by the Chinese for their translation. The book is about 1600 pages and it is very beautiful filled with great poetry. The Saka language may thus possess a literary 'monument'...

Why did they adopt Buddhism in which the Soul does not play a role?(but the mind) What Greek religion did the Saka adopt? [ Dionysus was lord Shiva, wrote Alain Daniélou in Gods of Love and Ecstasy]

    Do you know about anything Khasa People? Nepali, the present official language of Nepal, before Sanskritization used to be called Khasa Kura or Khasa Language. I have found that Khasa Language had a number system related to Kharosti where 20 is focused as KORI and half kori to 10, etc. Also, their tone of language was different but slowly because of the Sanskrit influence in that language, this trend is vanishing. Why are they called Khasa People in Hindu texts?

      Jatts also have mixture that is why they are thought to be 'Indo-Scythians' rather than just Scythians. Saka tribes in the west would have had admixture with Macedonians, Italians, Slavs/Rus people etc. Isn't Osetia considered Saka as well? I do get your point though - It is possible that Rajputs are descended from Saka tribes who migrated to interior of India a little earlier than later Saka tribes who became Jatts. That is why the last names so often are shared (Senger, Chauhan, etc.) and why sometimes Jatt and to a lesser extent Rajput gotras are not aligned to traditional Vedic ones which are based on the Rishis.

      ​@@ZeeshanAhmad-khilji jats mainly 9 haplogroups groups se bni race hai
      Mainly 2 race indo-arya 2000bce and after that indo-sythians around 200bce
      Ye depend krta hai gotras pr
      Kuch gotra aryo se mile
      Kuch sythians se
      So basically jats are indo-arya-sythians
      Sakas rule north India for many years with the title of ksatrap
