Great to know that....Ahom ....never ever these things are told in our history books. The invaders were called as the great mughals , the one who used to kill there own fathers.... Do read about the real archeological version of Taj mahal....if you do want to really understand the ancient Tejomahlya and great Indian kings of India. Not the invading mughals...These mughals were kicked right and left by our beloved and respected Maratha king Chatrapati Shivaji Mharaj of Mharashtra. About shajahan...A person who kills 20000 workers, and then they want us to believe that he loved his wife a lot.....being a great human...LOL. Will read more about Ahom now....do share any useful links. Thanks

@@myrooftopgarden8005 Chatrapti Sivaji Maharaj was great, no doubt. But we northeastern people doesn't need to care about that.

Yes, I'm proudy, because we did it. And still lost in history. Underrated.

I am sure India can be chaotic especially for someone from a western country who are so used to night life, skyscrapers, good roads, clean cities and much more. But I am pretty sure what you learn from India is something you can never learn from any other country. Anyone who has a open heart and mind will know to appreciate the true beauty of India inspite of all its shortcomings. I am happy you found ur reason to love India. Cheers mate!! ❤ From Chennai. Hope to meet you in person someday.
U didn't visit the Himalayas (Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Sikkim and North East). Ladakh is a cold desert, landscape and culture is similar to Tibet and very beautiful. Good video though.
@@pragatileena why not punjab and see how people struggling against ruthless govt don't even respect elders that in our culture we respect our elders,,such a shame our govt is playing with our culture
So correctly put. Mughals were invaders, murderers and destroyers. They destroyed thousand and thousands of tempels. And built mosques or tombs on top of it. Thanks to Marathas, Peshvas and some brave rajputs like maharana Pratap who fought them. But yes i can understand, for foreigners the Indian history and geographic would be a bit too complex. Especially many books needs to be rewritten with correct data.
@@bjenks the politicians wrote incorrect history from several years here in india! for correct information read authentic history books regarding Mughals in India!
I didn't wanted the video to end . You have very loving family . The one scene that i loved most in the whole video was seeing three of sitting on boat in Varanasi . All of you looked very serene and peaceful . It looked like you were having a surreal experience.
Do visit Rajasthan, I'm sure u gonna see alot of place which u never seen before! Cites like Jaipur(UNESCO world heritage city), Udaipur , Bikaner are awesome !!
Namaste Trump and Modi ji clips were surprise in the middle. That was good informative editing along with stop motion work and transitions from video to your laptop screen recorder of your youtube channel. All was great
Either u like it r not all the good and the bad are part of Indian history.british ,muguls even though they looted,invaded just like hitler s a part f germen history.they preserve all consentration camps fr the historical reference.its a stupidity fighting against wht hapnd 1000years back.
Khajuraho depicts earliest Kamasutra- Science and Art of Sex. A person with proper knowledge who understands basic science would never call Khajuraho as a indecent sculpture.
It's a cliche i know but i never comment on these types of videos. But huge respect to amma who went through such traumatic times. God bless mummy and you, for your honest portrayal. You and amma are forever in my prayers. A grateful indian
Mumtaz was abducted ,her husband was killed and she was forcefully married to Shah Jahan . She died producing 14 kid to increase muslim population. Immediately after her death Shah Jahan married Mumtaz and his own daughter because she looked like Mumtaz 😂.
wow this is quality!!! thank you so much for sharing your experience!! I love that you travelled to such a far country and experienced such a foreign culture and loved it!!!! You are a global citizen and deserve a much bigger audience!!! All the best with everything!!
Khajuraho erotic cravings outside the temple means leave your worldly desire outside before entering the temple inner sanctum, symbolising withdrawing from the outer and discover your inner being., where real happiness and fulfilment lies.
Ben- Wow just came across the show. You are amazing. What I love: You have a soft voice You have great eye for the camera Great music selection at the right time You have no ego You are real. I will keep watching for sure!
I do not understand why most people visit Varanasi for Ganga. I understand that the temples there hold very deep impact on us but I will always prefer to visit rishikesh and haridwar for Ganga. The water is so much cleaner and the aarti which may be not as great as varanasi but is simply beautiful and peaceful and you can sit on other bank/site on river to watch aarti on other side quite etherealy(not sure it is a word but it is great simply). You can also try rafting there and temples in rishikesh are also quite historical. I wish you would travel more to lower and middle himalayas. They are breathtaking.
Varanasi is more well known though and an iconic citu. I know a lot of tourists do visit Rishikesh too, especially yoga typea and I am looking forward to seeing both places you mention
I am proud that you are appreciating India, by just seeing 10% of India. I wonder what you will say if you see 50% of India. Anyway you started the video with name Tiruvannamalai, which is the centre of understandable human philosophy. Only the luckiest ones can touch the soil of Arunachala mountain, Sringeri or Kholapur Mahalakshmi. Congratulations. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve also heard a “Theory” that Indians helped build Egyptians their pyramids since ancient India was way advanced in Mathematics than almost any other civilisation at that point.
Came across your channel and watched more than 50 videos, all India and I will be watching more. Totally amazing! The sound has two levels: Level 1 = narration. Level 2 = outside/music. Level 2 is very high in comparison to when you are sitting and talking by your laptop. If i have my sound adjusted to your voice, I have to lower the sound when music is playing and vice versa. Many times.
If you like trekking and long walks try coming to northern india. You can visit Kedarnath which is a very long and steep trek in the himalayas or you can come to my state and visit vaishno devi shrine.Stay safe and enjoy yourself
Honestly... you travel any country in the world and after that you will come to a true realisation that there is no country like India...you only need to have fine senses and open mind to observe it..🙂
Just for your information - 1. There is NO RECORD of Taj mahal construction during Shah Jehan era. You must have seen writing at front saying that it took 20 years to construct Taj Mahal. But once completed his son Aurangazeb had written letter to his father seeking funds to repair & maintenance of Taj Mahal merely just few years post construction (NOT some minor maintenance) . Now why would someone do that ? 2. Seen any muslim bury dead above the ground as seen Tombs at Taj ? And direction is older QIBLA at Taj Mahal Mosque ? Taj mahal is much older which was captured and converted like any other Indian monument just like Qutub Minar & modified with Islamic inscriptions, 3. And About Akbar down til Aurangazeb - Historically killed many innocents refer any battle. This fakery that they were tolerant is bull. There Hindu or other religious ministers in Akbar court were mere traitors of Hindu Kingdoms who changed sides/loyalty to defeat the kingdoms bring them under Mughals for mere revenge sake & eventually perished later to same Mughals. None of the Mughals were tolerant - Can give multiple records from history. 4. Check pillars of Jama Masjid or pillars or destructions of temple near Qutub Minar in Delhi. These were prehistoric Hindu temples - desecrated and carvings removed & put these islamic inscriptions. I am NOT here to prove someone wrong but settings the history correct.

Awesome work. So nice to see all of you have such an open mind and heart. India can be overwhelming even to an Indian but you guys are doing so well. You must have been Indian in a past life. I know Arunachala well. Have you read A Search In Secret India by Pail Brunton? I’m sure you will find it soon.
Hi Shiva! I haven't read that one, but read Paul Brunton's story of being in the Himalayas... since I'm next to Arunachala, no book is necessary :) But maybe one day since I like to read, thanks
Editing and music on selected points in video makes this a calm experience. Awesome editing. Love from Maharashtra, please come to ajanta, ellora caves and other awesome destinations in Maharashtra, India is much more than taj mahal, India is a 6000years old civilization🧡🇮🇳
The first outsider vlog which showed india in amazing manner. Otherwise, most of the western shows india all as a poor and dirty country. I appreciate you 👍
Hey Ben, you should come to our Northeast side of India. Our culture, foods, facial looks are completely different than western part of India. We look like korean, japanese, chinese mix 😂 and religion is mostly Christian.
Best video ever I have seen with details of every palace and fort ,another UA-camrs don't show this type of details video of every palace wall and door roof , others only shows their face
Dear Ben, i saw some of your videos. I would like to say you are lucky and blessed to be in Thiruvannamalai.Only people with lot of luck in their fate will be allowed to step in to this holy city. There are lot of indians who live near by never got an opportunity to step in to this city. Its the grace of the god
@15:06 I love how she depicts an X. Also, it's not the ganja river. That would be like river 420. It's Ganga, and pronounced differently. The way you said it, you are referring to reefer.
Nice Video, it captured the happiness on everyone's faces. I did the same tour of north India and to me ITIMAD-UD-DOULAH was the piece d' resistance with its intricate inlay work in marble.
Yo what´s up Benjamin! Been a while since I left you and all the readers a comment to take in. I´m feeling so nostalgic now and the reason is when you guys (your ma´, auntie and you) arrived in the fabled city of Varanasi (Banaras or Kashi) where I was for 4 complete days (NOT ENOUGH) baci in Februaru of 2019 during the Kumbh Mela time. I was taken down memory lane by brotha´. I really hope you get a whole lot more SUBSCRIBERS soon and hit a 100k next year!!!! May I kindly suggest you getting some AWESOME stickers done with your UA-cam channel name and stating it´s on UA-cam. Get them on the type of material that doesn´t fade quickly because of the sun and water pouring over it. WHY? Because this is a way to garner more publicity as you can give them to people who are really interested in your channel and they can stick them on their motorbikes, bumbers or something similar on the rear end of their vehicles and even on walls designated for this and similar things at tourist restaurants and popular travelers´ and backpackers´ hostals. An Argentinean RV traveler I met at La Floresta Park in Medellín, Colombia told me all of this and recommended I do it, so I am getting some done for my 2 UA-cam travel channels as one is in English (this one on my profile pic) and the other one (Vagando Parejo Por Edwin Toro) is in Spanish. I gotta do it as I am soon to start the Colombian Sweet Wanderings motorcycle diaries. Gonna hit the road here on my Honda CB125F 2020 model in late December and head up to La Sierra Nevada, Santa Marta, Tayrona Park, Barranquilla (famous for El Carb¿naval de Barranquilla), Cartagena (famous forf the old walled city) and so much more. The stickers I am gonna find good worthy recipients and walls for them a¿so as to help my channels grow more quickly possibly. No Guarantees, just seeds I am sowing. Thanks a lot for this video Benjamin. Me parece un video vlog super bacano. Siga asi parce que va por buen camino. Siga con toda Benjamin. I hope you can accurately translate this Paisa Colombian Spanish. If not, give me a holla´! Going back to watching a little more before heading to La La Land (sleep in my lingo or Larry Zbyszko lingo better yet). I´m on Colombia time here 10.5 hours behind you.
Thanks Edwin and good idea about the stickers! Yout motorcycle diaries sound fun I am looking forward to exploring again as well, just waiting until it's safe again
@@bjenks Good afternoon Benjamin. Hope India 🇮🇳 gets better soon so that many explorers like you can go out to other states India 🇮🇳 and most importantly that the poor people of India, especially the young, can start working in the tourism sector once again. They rely on it heavily. I'm going to a town here in Antioquia, COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 called Concepción, better known as la Concha by the locals, to visit a hermit's cave and a waterfall called Matasanos both bear the town as well as the town and get some good video footage to put together for some nice new content uploads. I'm heading out there on my motorbike. Have a great evening Benjamin and enjoy the ride (this day and your life).
I named some incredible places in India... 1)Panaji(goa)- riverine landscape mixed with sea in india... 2)Jaisalmer(Rajasthan)-desert landscape in india 3)Baratang(Andaman)- karst landscapes of india... 4) Little Andaman (Andaman)-tropical rainforest in India ... 5)Rammakalmedu(Kerala)- windiest city in India... 6)Gurugram(haryana)- high infrastructural man made developed city in india... 7)Kudremukh(Karnataka)-ridge green mountain in India... 8)little Andaman(Andaman)-stack in sea landscape of India... 9)kanyakumari(tamilnadu)- headland surface in india... 10)Brahmaputra valley(Assam)- most flooded and billabong areas of India... 11)mutha river(Maharashtra)- riverbed place in India... 12)chandertal lake(himachal pradesh)-oasis place in India... 13)Gadikallu(Karnataka)- ilsenberg place of India... 14)Kudremukh(Karnataka)-grassland plains of India... 15)Yumthang(Sikkim) hot spring place of India... 16)Chandertal(Himachal Pradesh)- wetland place in india... 17) dras(Kashmir)-second coldest inhabited place on earth(best during winter months)... 18)phalodi(Rajasthan)-hottest place in India(best during summer months... 19)mawsynram(meghalaya)- top 1 highest recorded rainfall places on earth (best during rainy reasons)... 20)yumthang (Sikkim)(snowiest place in India ...
18.17 taste wise petha is not that great, but it has a much longer shelf life ( dry variant) for hot climate area,it's not oily/ fatty and the it is supposed to be good for improving IQ levels and probably the fruit used grew at large scale on yamuna banks. It has lot of water content , kind of like watermelon only without color n sweetness .
Watched the whole video and loved most of it. I have a few thoughts 1. I think Taj is slightly overrated. Loved visiting Fatehpur Sikri 2. There is a reason for using explicit carvings in temple. Ancient Hinduism considered going to a temple is equivalent to going inwards. People have explicit thoughts (and hence those carvings) in their conscious mind. But as they go deeper in the subconscious frivolous things are replaced by deep enlightenment. That’s why you will never see any explicit carvings near the sanctum Santorum as you will leave all those behind near the entrance of the temple 3. Really liked hearing the kind words from your Mom 4. I am Hindu and don’t understand that burning ghat in Varanasi is a tourist attraction. I never go visit cemeteries to watch people getting buried. Most places in India use electric burners so that you don’t see anything 5. I loved Varanasi. I would like to go back again. The name is Ganga where the ‘g’ in the middle is pronounced like in ‘gang’. The way you pronounced sounded like Ganja which means marijuana in many Indian languages. I understand it’s unintentional but it’s slightly offensive Thank you again for making such videos where you showcase the whole picture as opposed to portraying poverty and negativity about India like popular media. I appreciate that 🙏

Thanks a lot 😊
Cleanest city in India is actually Mysore in Karnataka , also called as the city of Palaces. Highly recommended to visit.
Awesome work. So nice to see all of you have such an open mind and heart. India can be overwhelming even to an Indian but you guys are doing so well. You must have been Indian in a past life. I know Arunachala well. Have you read A Search In Secret India by Pail Brunton? I’m sure you will find it soon.
Hi Shiva! I haven't read that one, but read Paul Brunton's story of being in the Himalayas... since I'm next to Arunachala, no book is necessary :) But maybe one day since I like to read, thanks
Cheers to you bro! I watched the full video in one go and didn't skip at all. Happy to see your family experiencing the real deal.
Omg ... i watched it completely.... 46.47min holy cow.. loved your content..
This is the kind of video I like. A story, travelling, things to see :)
Happy to hear that! Where are you from?
Thank you for all your hard work Benjamin 💜
So many places even i didn't know. Good work 👍
Editing and music on selected points in video makes this a calm experience. Awesome editing. Love from Maharashtra, please come to ajanta, ellora caves and other awesome destinations in Maharashtra, India is much more than taj mahal, India is a 6000years old civilization🧡🇮🇳
The first outsider vlog which showed india in amazing manner.
Otherwise, most of the western shows india all as a poor and dirty country.
I appreciate you 👍
🙏🙏
Awesome as usual!
Thanks Michael!
You should visit all the unesco world heritage sites in India . Specially Hindu temples. You will be amazed by the architecture.
Hey Ben, you should come to our Northeast side of India. Our culture, foods, facial looks are completely different than western part of India. We look like korean, japanese, chinese mix 😂 and religion is mostly Christian.
ooh yeah doing open promotion
@@amargupta1589 😂
Best video ever I have seen with details of every palace and fort ,another UA-camrs don't show this type of details video of every palace wall and door roof , others only shows their face
0:04 kitni pyari bacchi hai yarr
India is about old existing with new. The idea of coexisting with everyone
Why didn't UA-cam recommend this channel before today....😌😌😌
Dear Ben, i saw some of your videos. I would like to say you are lucky and blessed to be in Thiruvannamalai.Only people with lot of luck in their fate will be allowed to step in to this holy city. There are lot of indians who live near by never got an opportunity to step in to this city. Its the grace of the god
I loved the way your mom described the train toilet 🤣
Your background score is culturally imbibing, an indian local at bless would have picked that 🔥❤️👍
Well made! Deserves more views though!❣
Amazing video mate and great music too...your Mom and Aunt are nice people and I hope they had a good time...yeah yeah I hear you on the chyna virus
Thanks 👍They did!
Amazing video, script, production.. thanks for the lovely video!!
@15:06 I love how she depicts an X.
Also, it's not the ganja river. That would be like river 420. It's Ganga, and pronounced differently. The way you said it, you are referring to reefer.
Love all the realistic take on the travel video!!
I hope mom n aunt reached safely and they are doing well.
Trust me, your video editing skills are pro level.👍👍
I am your new subscriber. 🙌
One of the quality videos ✨👌
Nice Video, it captured the happiness on everyone's faces. I did the same tour of north India and to me ITIMAD-UD-DOULAH was the piece d' resistance with its intricate inlay work in marble.
👍👍
Congratulations for 1OK subscriber
Thanks Rahul!
Burning is like learning doesn't means cremation = education but that education also needs you to light yourself

Hey Katherine, okay, what are your interests? Mountains or beaches? Cities or nature?

Yo what´s up Benjamin! Been a while since I left you and all the readers a comment to take in. I´m feeling so nostalgic now and the reason is when you guys (your ma´, auntie and you) arrived in the fabled city of Varanasi (Banaras or Kashi) where I was for 4 complete days (NOT ENOUGH) baci in Februaru of 2019 during the Kumbh Mela time. I was taken down memory lane by brotha´. I really hope you get a whole lot more SUBSCRIBERS soon and hit a 100k next year!!!! May I kindly suggest you getting some AWESOME stickers done with your UA-cam channel name and stating it´s on UA-cam. Get them on the type of material that doesn´t fade quickly because of the sun and water pouring over it. WHY? Because this is a way to garner more publicity as you can give them to people who are really interested in your channel and they can stick them on their motorbikes, bumbers or something similar on the rear end of their vehicles and even on walls designated for this and similar things at tourist restaurants and popular travelers´ and backpackers´ hostals. An Argentinean RV traveler I met at La Floresta Park in Medellín, Colombia told me all of this and recommended I do it, so I am getting some done for my 2 UA-cam travel channels as one is in English (this one on my profile pic) and the other one (Vagando Parejo Por Edwin Toro) is in Spanish. I gotta do it as I am soon to start the Colombian Sweet Wanderings motorcycle diaries. Gonna hit the road here on my Honda CB125F 2020 model in late December and head up to La Sierra Nevada, Santa Marta, Tayrona Park, Barranquilla (famous for El Carb¿naval de Barranquilla), Cartagena (famous forf the old walled city) and so much more. The stickers I am gonna find good worthy recipients and walls for them a¿so as to help my channels grow more quickly possibly. No Guarantees, just seeds I am sowing.
Thanks a lot for this video Benjamin. Me parece un video vlog super bacano. Siga asi parce que va por buen camino. Siga con toda Benjamin. I hope you can accurately translate this Paisa Colombian Spanish. If not, give me a holla´! Going back to watching a little more before heading to La La Land (sleep in my lingo or Larry Zbyszko lingo better yet). I´m on Colombia time here 10.5 hours behind you.
Thanks Edwin and good idea about the stickers! Yout motorcycle diaries sound fun I am looking forward to exploring again as well, just waiting until it's safe again
@@bjenks Good afternoon Benjamin. Hope India 🇮🇳 gets better soon so that many explorers like you can go out to other states India 🇮🇳 and most importantly that the poor people of India, especially the young, can start working in the tourism sector once again. They rely on it heavily. I'm going to a town here in Antioquia, COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 called Concepción, better known as la Concha by the locals, to visit a hermit's cave and a waterfall called Matasanos both bear the town as well as the town and get some good video footage to put together for some nice new content uploads. I'm heading out there on my motorbike. Have a great evening Benjamin and enjoy the ride (this day and your life).
Well that's some freaking nice editing 🤯🤟

This is very well detailed..I haven't watched it all but plan to :)
🤘🤘
Amazing mini-documentary
Awesome video my man! Enjoyed every bit of it 👍👍
Glad to hear it!
18.17 taste wise petha is not that great, but it has a much longer shelf life ( dry variant) for hot climate area,it's not oily/ fatty and the it is supposed to be good for improving IQ levels and probably the fruit used grew at large scale on yamuna banks. It has lot of water content , kind of like watermelon only without color n sweetness .
Watched the whole video and loved most of it. I have a few thoughts
1. I think Taj is slightly overrated. Loved visiting Fatehpur Sikri
2. There is a reason for using explicit carvings in temple. Ancient Hinduism considered going to a temple is equivalent to going inwards. People have explicit thoughts (and hence those carvings) in their conscious mind. But as they go deeper in the subconscious frivolous things are replaced by deep enlightenment. That’s why you will never see any explicit carvings near the sanctum Santorum as you will leave all those behind near the entrance of the temple
3. Really liked hearing the kind words from your Mom
4. I am Hindu and don’t understand that burning ghat in Varanasi is a tourist attraction. I never go visit cemeteries to watch people getting buried. Most places in India use electric burners so that you don’t see anything
5. I loved Varanasi. I would like to go back again. The name is Ganga where the ‘g’ in the middle is pronounced like in ‘gang’. The way you pronounced sounded like Ganja which means marijuana in many Indian languages. I understand it’s unintentional but it’s slightly offensive
Thank you again for making such videos where you showcase the whole picture as opposed to portraying poverty and negativity about India like popular media. I appreciate that 🙏
Great work 👍👍👍!!!
Super video, Super editing, thank you
Great Adventure....thanks for sharing!
