Filthy Hygiene of Ancient India

- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Picture yourself in Ancient India in a hole covered in mud and feces..and you just really want to take a bath, and you are wondering What Hygiene was like in Ancient India. Despite the challenging circumstances, you come to realize this civilization thrived with resilience and innovation. From handmade soaps out of berries and plants, to an advanced drainage system that not only connected to the important establishments such as the town halls, temples, and the Great Bath Houses but also every private house in the city. And with the belief of a bath every single day is needed, you will never feel cleaner in Ancient India...or is there more to the story?

modern day india hygiene is horrendous...

@Rajnasya sigh. Stop spreading propaganda. 🤦
@Rajnasya For your information the areas where lower caste people reside are lot cleaner than the main residing areas.
@@arpanapalle5556no it's not, they live in slums. Don't lie dude. Truth is bitter just accept it.
It's not as bad now. When I was a kid in 80s, it was horrendous.
India were the pioneers of ancient hygiene! Where did it all go so wrong?
British came and destroyed it
Hahaha, no. No. They were not.
British
Millions of landless peasants for the first time in Indian history were created under British rule…
@@MoneyMitrovic333 What's that have to do with personal hygiene?
the hygiene of a civilization comes from their priorities....ancient indians were rich ...they were filfthy rich....they concentrated on buildings monuments , games ,mathematics ,astronomy, philosophy ,medicine ,yoga practices and war fare....and cut to invasions and looting of brits that turned a country that holded 33 % of worlds gdp to 3 % at the time of brits leaving....45$ trillion dollars worth of money was looted...famines....poverty....hunger....wars this is what they are left with...and their main concentration was on surviving...rather than hygiene and posing rich.....
Poor people care about hygiene also. Not hard to rinse off after work in a somewhat clean body of water
@@Tysandifer dude.... Brits left people with famines...some had to sell their children to see another day ...and it was not an easy task to gain the level of peace to care about identity and power ....I think India is developing and getting huge ...it's just a matter of time
what an imagination you have 😂
@@peshwa4760 Famine was needed due to overpopulation and not enough food supply. Britain decided which gene pools were inferior and wiped the Muslims out for you. Under British rule Indian streets were cleaner than they ever were under Indian rulership, why is that?
So basically India from the 13th to the 20th century went through what Europe went through back from the 4th to the 10th century. The Dark Ages, ie India forgot all it's achievements of antiquity, just how Europe forgot all of Roman scientific achievements after it's fall. It's bouncing back, but I think we'll see a Renaissance in the next century or so.
Not next century probably in another 1000 years

Talking about hygiene in 1st world countries, there was a rule in Edinburgh where people had to throw buckets of poop from their windows just in the lane besides their house. Sometimes it even used to land on people passing by. 😅
That happened all over Europe for a while, not just Scotland.
Very interesting, a lot about India I hadn't known before. Now if only the Ganges could be cleaned up. Great video Nutty History!
It's cleaner now compared to few years ago, AS government stopped swege from mixing with out treatment.

@@Rohit-jc2sm that's a wonderful thing to hear ❤️😊
In the middle ages in europe.. anyone knows what the practise was? Families used to collect pee nd feaces into a bowl nd used to throw it outside window in the neighborhood itself..
And that’s what the umbrella was invented for 😂
See the irony of today's India.
The thing is , for all the comments about how bad modern Indian hygiene is , it's the narrative that western media shows you . And just like any other country with an income disparity and social division , certain sections have horrendous hygiene simoly because they are poor . I simply challenge anyone to just walk down a metropolitan suburb , in Mumbai or even tier 2 cities like Indore or Bhubaneshwar , and the hygiene there is as normal as anywhere else . Or maybe better than major American hood ghettos and the drug infested streets of bay area and places like that .
the hindu religion banning toilets in the home is also a reason, india has the most public defication in the world and it has nothing to do with the poverty lol. I did research into this.
This video seems to be just an excuse to hammer in the caste divisions in an effort to undetmine Hindus, but the facts are that ancient India was non discriminatory and this is proved by because the greatest dynasties and the greatest intellectual leaders and spiritual Gurus were from what will today because called the lower caste.... the entire concept of caste was introduced by the British who actually even coined the term, otherwise how is it even possible that something which was supposedly so all pervasive did not even have an Indian term and was derived from 'castos'',a term of the Portuguese.... think viewers, and don't let such videos pollute your minds🙏🙏
I have and I beg to differ.
It's crazy how the Europeans left an entire sub-continent impoverished through looting and economic exploitation and now enjoy mocking their victim's poverty.
I think the population growth over time & the amount of poor people outweighed the wealthy may have a lot to do with the downfall of good hygiene.
That's a pretty good guess. I watched this wondering when or how did it go wrong? 😢
From my observation, I would agree
Can you do a video on what hygiene was like in ancient west Africa?
I second this. This channel doesn't do enough videos on other kingdoms like the ones in Western Africa, Australia, New Zealand or South America just to name some places
They used sand.
@@jamesortiz5388 No they actually bathed unlike Europeans
@@rollitupmars Europeans bathed, too!
When did they do that and how often, after the fall of the Roman Empire? Been many a story how even some of the Aristocracy either did not bathe often and one King (France) might have only bathed a few times his entire life.
Without watching yet, can't be any worse than today

gotta admit ancient indian hygiene was wayy better than hygiene in modern day new york..🤣
Modern India is similar, but it's not the same everywhere, especially if you visit the major cities (just like any other country).
If you visit homes and private residences, you can see these practices being followed.
No… Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Sicily, etc are not nasty asf. Its not the same as “every country”
@Rajnasya Can't deny 😐

Pretty decent in urban homes. Pretty rough in poor places.

3:54 “Indian scarecare”
As an Indian living in India, I ask... Where is this hygiene gone now?? Is there any answer other than blaming British & other invaders? Even if invaders & colonizers might have contributed to India's poverty & deterioration of standard of living, I think, there are other reasons as well not related to foreign invasion, or colonization. What are those reasons?? Can anybody tell me? I really want to know this!
Small correction...'even if' ....they surely did so😂😂. But with the rest I agree...what are we doing even after almost 80 yrs of independence to clean out surroundings? We Indians,keep our houses squeaky clean but ten steps outside house.. doesn't really matter... it's only the cleaner jobs. Heck, people throw garbage everywhere other than the obvious garbage dump😂. I was initially like that too...but I changed myself. And then comes the role of government...they do not give two shits. And the ratio of no. of Indians giving a damn to not giving a damn is like 1:1000. All we can do is only take offence and talk big.
Awesome video! Your videos on hygiene history are the best!
Fenugreek is great for hair! Ive been using it for months. My hair has become so shiny!
How do you use it
@@Pwn3540 there are many different ways to use fenugreek on hair,
1. Soak it overnight and blend to make a paste and apply it on your hair for 15 to 20 minutes and wash off with mild shampoo.
You can also add lemon juice (diluted) ,if u have dandruff or aloe Vera along with this. hair pack.
2. Boil fenugreek in a small amount of water, strain and pour it into a spray bottle, apply before going to bed.
No different than it is today.
I worked with a group and they would utterly destroy the break room, leave food out or uncovered. Use their hands as serving utensils.
I found myself cleaning on my break because it was inhospitable to sit in but then I decided, no.
I'm glad I don't work with them anymore.
I am Indian but I live in us. I still use hands to eat but at home after cleaning. What I don't understand is who are these people you met. Seems a bad bunch. I would think them rude. Generally rude people are everywhere not only one nationality sorry.
Also why wouldn't you report them . And why would you perhaps have taken them that bunch as a standard for every Indyan you meet. Seems prejudice. I hope not. Please don't let such behaviour go. Report such people. Don't clean after them! FFS no
I think you met some idiots who just don't know about basic stuff related to hygiene because it is basically a sin here to not wash your hand properly before eating food.
Well can we get a video of when it ended??
Probably when the British left them to it
When what ended?
@@MatthewTheWandererhygiene
When they got looted of n even food n survival was as stake..
When millions died in Famines created by the coloniser...n you talk about hygiene...
Talk about survival first😂😂
I’m happy with #2 lol ready to watch another great video
Using Mughal era images to represent the Indus Valley civilisation is like using the image of Queen Victoria to represent Ancient Athens. Yup, India is like that - very diverse and very old, with lots of different time periods, cultures, and huge geographical distances between them. I always say this, but it’s better to look at India in the same way we look at Europe or “Africa”, especially when it comes to history when it wasn’t a single unified country like it is today. Nuance is very important!
indian hygiene is shooting over the roof now
Was the Harrapan Indus Valley civilization Vedic or something else? Many speculate that Indo-Europeans entered India circa 1500 bc but there are a few problems with that. First of all there is no mention in the Vedas of any foreign geography-no tells of invasion and all the geography is local to India, suggesting an indigenous origins for Sanskrit and the Vedic culture. Secondly, dates like 1500 bc were meant to squeeze India history into the narrow confines of alleged biblical history, wherein the earth was created circa 4000 bc. The “Indologist” who came up with that date is Max Mueller, a Protestant preacher missionary who came to India on behalf of the British to help convert the Hindus. Since then many Indologists have blindly parroted his unscientific dates. There isn’t any evidence either for a proto Indo-European culture predating Sanskrit and the Vedic culture. The so-called proto Indo-European language is purely speculative and concocted wholesale by linguists based on what they think it might have sounded like. Like Klingon it’s completely made up. The script of the Harappan culture has not been deciphered to the satisfaction of all scholars. Some have proposed Vedic decipherments and others have proposed non-Vedic decipherments.
Furthermore, besides seals and other evidence for the Vedic origin of the Harrapans, it appears they used Vastu, a Vedic design principle similar to the Chinese fengshui, to design their cities. As Micheal cremo explains:
Vastu was used in city design. The first step in the construction of a new town is to level the ground. After the site is leveled, the vastu purusha mandala is drawn upon it, and this forms the basis for the design. A very common form of this mandala is the square. Many Indian cities, like Jaipur, show signs of vastu design.
Over the past century, many ancient towns have been excavated in India, dating to 4,000 or 5,000 years ago. The most famous of them are in the Indus Valley region (now part of Pakistan), including Mohenjo Daro and Harappa. The latter site is generally used by scholars for the whole culture that produced these towns (the Harappan). Scholars have different opinions about the exact nature of the culture. Some say the culture was Vedic, the culture of the majority of Indians today. Others say that the culture was not Vedic, and that the people of Vedic culture entered India in much later times, no earlier than about 3,500 years ago. One problem is that the script of the Harappan culture has not been deciphered to the satisfaction of all scholars. Some have proposed Vedic decipherments and others have proposed non-Vedic decipherments. While this matter continues to be debated (I myself support a Vedic decipherment in principle), it may be useful to look for archeological evidence about the nature of the culture. In the spring of 2008, I went to India to investigate the design of the “Harappan” city of Lothal, in Gujarat, India, which dates to the third millennium B.C.E., to determine whether or not the design conforms to vastu principles. The answer to this question has implications for our understanding of the people who built Lothal. If the city was designed according to vastly principles, that would signify it is likely the people were part of the Vedic culture.
At Lothal, I looked at the site and the site plan for Period A, which goes back as far as 4,400 years ago, supposedly 1,000 years before people of Vedic culture entered India. The plan shows that Lothal was laid out in square form, with sides oriented to the cardinal directions. This corresponds to one of the standard vastu grids. According to vastu principles, an ideal site for a town is higher in the west and south than in the north and east. At Lothal, there is a definite elevation in the south, sloping down to the north and east. Experts in vastu say that houses facing the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) are good, while those facing the corner points are exposed to evil influences. At Lothal, all the buildings face the main directions. Roads are oriented north to south, and east to west, another feature of vastu town design. According to vastu texts, waste water should drain to the north or east. I found that the main water drainage system at Lothal, in the area of the citadel, did drain to the east, as also noted in the site report.
According to vastu principles, the four social classes (workers, merchants, rulers, and priests) should occupy the western, southern, eastern, and northern sides of a town respectively. Workshops are found primarily on the western side of Lothal. The southeastern corner, Lothal’s center of trade, is occupied by a structure identified as a warehouse. The site plan shows the acropolis, identified as the residence of the town’s rulers (kshatriyas), extending from the central part of the site to the site’s eastern side. In the middle of the northern boundary of Lothal is a structure identified as a public fire altar, which would likely have been attended by priests (brahmanas). So the structures identified with the four classes seem to be located in the appropriate directions. The principal deity of the northern side of the vastu purusha mandala is Soma, the moon, and the quarter over which the moon rules is known as the “quarter of men.” The Lower Town of Lothal, which includes most of the residences, is in the northern half of the site, whereas the southern half of the town is occupied by the warehouse trade area, acropolis government area, and the workshop areas.
The Lothal site plan shows a cemetery outside the northwestern boundary wall, and S. R. Rao, the archeologist who excavated the site, said that the number of skeletons found there is quite small for a town the size of Lothal. He estimated the population at 15,000. So he considered it likely that cremation was the most common form of dealing with dead bodies. The deity of the northwest corner of the 81-square vastu purusha mandala is Roga, disease; just below Roga is Papayakshman, consumption; and just below Papayakshman is Shosha, emaciation. A possibility that deserves consideration is that the northwest cemetery burials could represent cases of special burial for persons who suffered from diseases considered particularly inauspicious. Such persons might have been judged not fit for cremation. Based on the vastu purusha mandala, one might venture an archeological prediction, namely that a cremation ground might be found outside the southwest corner of the Lothal settlement walls, near the bank of the now-dry river that once ran there. The southern side of the vastu purusha mandala is ruled by Yama, the lord of death. The southwest corner specifically is occupied by Pitarah, the lord of the ancestors, or Nirritih, the lord of dying, exiting from life. This would make sense because the river flowed from north to south, and typically in Hindu towns, the riverside cremation grounds are usually located so that the river carries contaminated water away from the inhabited areas of the town. In examining Lothal, a Harappan city in India, we see that it is laid out in a manner consistent with vastu principles. This city is from the third millinenium B.C.E. Vastu, which is mentioned in the Mahabharata, is considered a part of Vedic culture. So this would indicate that the city was part of the Vedic culture. It also suggests that the Mahabharata may be traced back to the same period of time.
Excerpt From
The Forbidden Archeologist
Michael A. Cremo
After reading the title ik the comments were going to be hilarious. I was not wrong😅
Only country the more modern times have gotten the worse its hygiene & overall cleanliness of everything has gotten. The trash etc all over the streets, constantly sweating etc from brutal heat, people just stopping and going 💩 or urinating regardless of where they are/whos around etc & then just getting up/pulling pants up or whatever theyre wearing and keeping it moving no wiping 😂. The list goes on & on , as a whole def not what most consider a clean or sanitary in modern times.
And that's what the demararts want for president
We use water and wash rather than wipe, which is objectively better than wiping.
Go look at San Fransciso, poop sightings are increasing whereas in india they are decreasing
It's the same in modern India too.
I'm from Europe and I've been visiting India quite a lot because I like the cuisine.
People mistake India for the filthy Bangladesh.
Indian street food is quite acceptable and good
But if you travel to Bangladesh, you better bring some biscuits with you, because the food will kill you

@@ujjainsharma9796 this poverty didn’t just rooted from 80s. It started from foreign invasion from the very start.

@@ujjainsharma9796Yup, sometimes we have to take constructive criticism and work on them...but NO!!

How does town planning and advanced sewage disposal systems in ancient India, where even the general population has a habit of bathing daily and in some cases upto thrice a day amount to filthy hygiene of ancient Indians is hilarious.😂😂😂
As a mukbaikar i find all other cities quite clean though😂😂
Trust the grand design of life; every twist and turn has its purpose. In trusting the process, you find peace and progress.
So everyone whose asking what happened- colonization happened.
how is colonial history responsible for the state of modern indian sanitation infrastructure?? can you stop being a forever victim and stop perpetuating that mindset as an answer for all problems???? if anything it is lack of our own ability to govern ourselves properly, poor literacy standards, no proper infrastructure created by our elected officials and most of all poverty. The british left in 1947. We have had over 70years to build ourselves up.

There is one that baffled me for many years. The people from the country of India are called Indians. And the nations of people living in America are also called Indians. And then people added American to the beginning of Indians to differentiate between the two. But how can people from other sides of the world both be called Indians and have no connection to each other? There are some things that blow my mind.
Agreed it always baffled me
The name Indian was given to the inhabitants of America by the colonizers, who for a long time called America the West Indies.
@@mariajoaofmd6698 well that is interesting. Thank you.
@Kat_tea well the problem with your thought? Columbus didn't find America or the American Indians. He found the islands to the south of America. At least, that is what a lot of modern historians have said. There are so many inconsistencies in history. Who knows? But I'm assuming that you are correct to a certain degree. Someone must have found America, and they had the same idea as you. But, according to some or all modern historians, it wasn't Columbus. It's just odd that two different countries on opposite sides of the earth, their peoples are labeled Indians. Either way? Thanks for the idea and/or thought. I just couldn't rap my head around it until now. Major LOL. A good day and my best wishes to all.
@Kat_tea like I said, there is so much that has been misconstrued throughout human history. Who knows? Except maybe God himself. Another example? According to the carbon dating machine and science, there are things that are millions of years old. But, if one variable is wrong? Like what an ice age does to an element, like wood? Their findings could be off by a million years. Or their perception of a black hole? They can't actually see what is going on. They can only see a black dot, with something that looks like light shining around it. It could be a big vacuum cleaner like phenomenon or something different altogether. While I'm interested in a lot of things like human culture, history, science, and the like. I don't put any stock in the perception of the human race. We are capable of being broken, selfish, greedy, arrogant, ignorant, and many other imperfect things. After all, the United States recently released the protected information regarding the assassination of John F Kennedy. All of the important information was blacked out. Major LOL! Why release the information if it was useless or keep it hidden if it was useless? Major LOL! I'll keep trying to learn, but I won't put any trust in the human race or any information that comes from them. Major LOL! As the saying goes? Believe nothing that you hear, and only half of what you see.
Chandala means “dog-eaters” that’s why they were our castes, not any other reason. They did t follow the Vedas

How did they go from being all about hygiene to now going into their filthy rivers for holidays, rivers that are full of waste of all kinds and they will bathe right in them for their special holidays
I’m so confused
Why name the video this rude name, then list out a bunch of their nice, healthy ancient hygiene standards that were rare for that era?!?
People had a different set of hygeine standars before the arrival of nomadic pastoral people from steppes and these people who are outdoorsy type foisted their habits on the inhabitants of the sub continent back then. These nomadic people believed that defaecation should be done far away from the residential are and left the nature to take it's course and that's how the practices changed.

Baby what happened today? My friend from India spoke particularly about quality of life where he is from due to sanitation
Wonder how it all went wrong for India... British.
They pioneered sanitation 5,000 years ago, the problem is they haven’t advanced since.
what you do think is the problem
@@SyNaj I think most of these major engineering feats historically came from cooler climates in societies with a higher degree of patronage and social collaboration to achieve a common good. Also malaria.
Wipe with the left or is it right?????
Were you trying to say "granaries"? Not sure where the extra syllables came from.
They evolved backwards
why is that
Poor😮 indians used Ash 😂😂😂😂
We still use ash...we are not poor
Just that it is environmental friendly and easily available 😂😂😂
agree
Things haven't changed much
India is full of rich history and beliefs- as an outsider kinda intimating to dive into it because of this
The strong body odors I can’t! Imagine any worse then it is now
This video is based on 2023
illegal migrants settling and congesting key urban areas is the biggest problem
Not all of India, the Brahmin Caste.
1. Awla, Areetha and shikakai are still used.
2. We still use sandalwood, rose, lotus, neem, ash of healthy cow dung etc for refreshing and cleaning.
3. We still wipe our ass after pooping with soap and water. Before and after eating, all of us wash our hands.
4. The elders still bathe thrice a day, a must for upper class Hindus. The lower class Hindus barely bathed a day, just like Europeans and Chinese, they bathed only once in 2-3 days (that's why they were called untouchables) and unfortunately that's why they weren't allowed entry into the temples as the rule is still prevalent. You must be clean inside and outside in order to show yourself to the supreme man and the Supreme lady.
5. We still always tell foreigners to not eat street vendor food but they don't listen to us anyway😂😂😂
6. Yes we still bathe a lot during someone's death and fast. We wait until 13 days called sootak and then burn the body on the funeral pyre while chanting all the mantras and performing rituals.
7. Yes you are correct, the upper class Hindus were obsessed with cleanliness and hygiene so much so that they even called the Muslim rulers and British rulers as untouchables, which burnt their egos horribly. This also terribly created a divide between the upper class Hindus and the lower class Hindus. People think its because of caste, no it's actually because of their dietary lifestyle (many ate meat irregularly) and hygiene issues.
8. During periods, one wasn't allowed to bathe in rivers or any water bodies as mentioned in the Vedas but they were allowed to bathe in the huge tub basin or mild medicated baths. However, makeup, jewellery and hair combing wasn't allowed. During these days, women would often stay at home as its easier for any wild animal to pick up the scent of blood and attack. The ghosts and paranormal creatures will always hover around the menstruating woman and she will always be prone to be used by the black magicians. Unfortunately there were many reasons for women to stay at home and because of not doing proper shringaar wouldn't enter the temples and also the air element will clash within due to the consecrated power force of the deity in the temple.
9. Did I miss any thing???
10. I highly recommend foreigners to stay away from the street vendors. I hope they listen but I know they won't. We Indians are not responsible for your upset stomach then 😂😂😂
The Chinese had certain days only when they could bathe according to astrological calculations. I'm sure that if an investigation was done into it, perfectly valid scientific reasons would be revealed as are being done with what used to be considered "Indian superstitions". However, China having turned communist no money will be given to such projects. This matter of only being allowed to bathe on certain days (for everybody) was something that the Hindu civilization did not realize and did not discover. Perhaps it is because the weather in China was colder, so they didn't smell, so they could follow through with this practice.
@@extemporaneous4545 Dear Chinese bot, you are exemplary at the art of juggling words and fabricating arguments towards your culture's favour but nobody will believe your arguments in taking bath on certain astrological alignment days.
Bathing is a necessity, it's a day to day need. Now you will say food was also eaten on some astrological alignment. Yes, we do have certain astrological auspicious hours and inauspicious hours in a day but they come every day. God hasn't taken anyone's right to take bath everyday. After all, Vedic astrology is most accurate as compared Chinese astrology(if it exists) and vastu shastra is naturally superior to fengshui. Fengshui is only good for Chinese traditional and customs but can't be used for all worldly international traditions and customs especially with respect to directions.
However, on certain royal or ceremonial occasions, bathing rituals for first time period ceremony, coronation ceremonies, haldi ceremony during marital rituals etc were done according to some astrological alignments. Besides Chinese got all the vedic knowledge from our Vedas and it's still continues in culture.
Therefore, you can rest be assured that our ancient Indians or Aryans/ vedic sages were already following all this and we still do but the sages speak that one must take a bath everyday, thrice a day in order to keep the energies and auras PIRE and clean.
China, firstly, isn't a cold region. Secondly, china's culture or books have no such mention of "astrological baths" for day to day life because that would be totally absurd and illogical.
In the Chinese herbal medicine system which has derived from ayurveda there is no such mention. INFACT, if there was then people would die due to infections and diseases if proper medicated baths and regular cleansing wasn't done for the injured and diseased. Commonsense, isnt it?
Chinese also didn't follow the Aryan culture and therefore it was considered acceptable in their society to take bath once in 2-3 days. Don't give the excuse of cold region. Chinese stink a lot if there perfumes are taken away.
In the Himalayan region, people still take bath thrice a day, atleast the older generation still do while citing the Vedic mantras on varunadeva (God of water bodies/seas/oceans etc) to pay respects for water being used for bathing. In the olden days people wouldn't be naked when taking a bath, they used to wear gamchas around genital regions in order to respectfully take bath and also use that to wash their skin properly.
The younger generation in India is obviously disgusting but they have perfumes/deos just like all. So it was compulsory and still elder abide by it, especially women, to take bath thrice a day.
Exceptions are only for medical conditions, menstruation and even pregnancy to some extent.
Besides, archaeological evidence found in Indus Valley civilization has already proved a lot of things so there is no need of a debate. Indus Valley civilization was uninhabited after the great flood which caused our ancestors to scatter around the neighbouring forests and kingdoms. It was destroyed so there was no point in going back. Therefore, the point you made is totally irrelevant and invalid. China didn't lack water but the society wasn't Aryan or strictly following instructions of the sages, some novelty or royals maybe were but that wasn't the case with the commoners. Anyway, that was how chinese society had always been.
All we're missing is that Super Clean India bot in the comment section
How convenient, not mentioning the modern day location of harppa and mohinjodarao nor highlighting borders for every area but just 1....
