Mr. Namit Arora, I can't thank you enough as a Bangladeshi from the bottom of my heart, for this series. Calling it a masterpiece would be an understatement. I wish each and eveyone of the sub-continenter would see this, it would certainly be a better place for everyone! Please keep up your good work.
I loved this series. I dont find much to disagree with but definitely a lot to ponder over and go deeper into. I think I will have to watch some episodes again because the amount of information that has been summarized in these 5 hours is simply amazing. Thank you Namit Ji for doing this, Wire for sponsoring and Raza Foundation for supporting this.
Enjoyed the series! I am going to watch it one more time and have the kids watch it too. History at school is so boring - dates, wars, names but barely any learnings. This will give children a sense of how history can be interpreted differently and also that one should learn from the past and not try to go to the past or worse fix the past!
Eloquently spoken, very appropriately worded sentences, your narrations are truly a breath of fresh air in emotionally charged sentimental world. Your summary of the series stating the importance of the need to understand our past to improve our present and the future, is fantastic. I wish to visit this glorious land of our forefathers one day in my life which is difficult at present for being a Pakistani born but you can always hope, oh and pray too :) Very well done sir Namit Arora.
Thank you very much for making this series in english, therefore available to the world. I always loved and admired India's rich culture, art, religion and history. This series are extraordinarily well narrated, the information is precise and given without excess or lack.
Thank you I grew up in remote areas of Sind Pakistan ,we live with our hindu brothers ans sisters for centuries. We celebrate same cultural wedding rituals with nikkah.although establishment make alot of effort to make poor muslim kids to become extremist but because of our thousands of years of muscle memory of living together it’s impossible to delete our beautiful culture.when Babri masjid destroyd not a single temple was harmed in Sindh pakistan.we still have women who wears bangles in whole arms as it was in Mohin jo daro time. Please traslate into many languages so this region have more peace and prosperity. Thanks 🙏
@@devidaughter7782:ask him does hindus over there have reservation or benefits in government, why there is less hindu representation in higher government positions and media
I feel so proud to be an Indian after watching this series . I was so into it that i watched the entire series in one sitting . Thank you very much .please continue the colonial period and freedom movement 😊🙏🙏
The best wit in whole series: after depicted of Shiva..." Shiva is a half-naked yogi who hangs out in cremation groud, covers his body with ash from the funneral pyres and is said to smoke ganja and hashish, qute end, and you said.." That's the kind of God every one should have!" the the best wit I ever had in my entire life. The metaphoric wit stand high and tall...Thank you almost fell in love India, nearly jump in the plane, and live there and travel from Harappan till Varanasi.
Thank you again for all your efforts in researching and putting this series together. It’s great for expats such as me who didn’t focus on history in our youth and now have a longing to better understand our cultural roots.
"myths can edify and inspire, but they can also reinforce conformity, obedience, and an oppressive social order" (12:20). . . "we are the stories we tell ourselves" (36:20)
Myths do edify, inspire and also educate it is when you are prejudiced that you only see one side of the myth and also when we also say that we are the stories we tell overselves so also we become our myths too and so can we become inspiring , educated and wise and as profound as our myth or like our so called epics. We too can become EPIC
This is perhaps the most well researched perspective of the Indian history. This has not changed my perspective as I hold the same views presented in this series, particularly about the Hindu religion. Great work Namit.
Excellent. Very informative. Plz extend this series to at least 100 episodes of 1 hr each. Indias history is so rich even 100 episodes will fall short.
Thank you Sir ! Namit Arora ! A brilliant look into our history without getting influenced by any religious dogmas. I would sincerely suggest to the UGC to provide arrangements in all our Universities and Colleges to show "INDIANS' ( all 10 episodes) to our youth . It will help them to understand the real India and not what our present day religio-political leaders say .
Really great series. I like how the lessons are stacked from the basics/beginnings and how they were interpreted then and now. I plan to re-run the entire series to get a better understanding of the history of the sub-continent. Totally agree with Mr Arora that we should not re-write our past , otherwise we learn nothing from them and mess up our future. Kudos to touching on some ideas that may be sensitive, but that's how history should be learnt. Thank you.
I have really enjoyed his no-holds-barred approach to telling straight facts about history that we need to grapple with. I also like Arora ji's direct, straightforward style - and speaking slowly enough to take it all in. Kudos to his team - the visuals are also fantastic, including the tables and even the Bajrang Dal sign in this video... One thing I want to add, however. It is also a fact that there are no Hindu temples in Varanasi that pre-date Muhammad Ghorid's arrival. There may be shivlings, yes, and other ornaments, but ancient temples there are none, like there are in the south. This too is an important fact... And Kashi Viswanath has been destroyed 4 times - and each time, it was re-built, including once by Raja Man Singh and Raja Todar Mal in Akbar's time. See - Varanasi is like the phoenix that rises out of the ashes - what is destroyed is just re-built. Even Bindu Madhav has a very appealing temple today. Thank you again, Mr. Arora for your honest approach to history.
What a amazing work Sir ... gave a new meaning to me as an Indian ... you work is priceless ... I stated with Indus and ended up bing watching all the 10 episodes ... Jai Hind ❤️
Sir its an humble request to you 🙏 - please continue this series & take us to the insight of modern history. This series has done wonders for us (as a student of history). You have provided us with secular, more factual & raw perspective to look at our past digitally that we have hardly come accross! And it is difficult to look at such dimension through mere reading of a textbook!
Thank you Sir, have never heard such a fantastic and factual history of the Indians explained and expounded so beautiful and wonderfully. All indians should watch and rewatch all 10 episodes repeatedly to know their true identity. Great achievement Sir a big thank you.
As a non-Indian from a small European country (Luxembourg) who visited India first in 1988 and lived there for month and returned 22 time since then- because I fell in love with India and its peoples - I am so happy to have seen all the episodes and watched them all in a row. I also remember the Indians telling me: "There are so many ways to God as there are people on this earth!" This tolerance I feel has disappeared since BJP took power and with the rise of Hindu-Nationalism. So the rational and scientific attitude of Namit Arora shows me that there is hope and that historic analysing and pondered views are much closer to the truth than ideologic distortion of the past biased by the desire for power. Dear Indians - remember Adolf Hitler's Germany. Did his nationalist Ideas lead to any GOOD? Yes I know many Hindus like him because he used your Swastika ... but eventually only to pervert it with his actions! Does swastika not mean 'conducive to well-being'? Millions of dead people all over Europe. And one of my uncles and one of my ants were killed because they fought the NAZIS. Dear Indians do not follow that path!
Super.... I appreciate your insight. You are right, it is a section of people who are the root cause of all these problems. Hopefully India will wake up soon.
I really enjoyed listening to you and learning some Indian History. If more people thought like you not only in India, but everywhere else, we'd live in a much better and harmonious world. Thank you!
The series you have produced are highly appreciated. They are based on present day research methodology of histography. We need to learn a lot from empirical methods of the west. Mythology and cooked up Indian history will take India to its abysmal state of affairs. India can never become Viswaguru with the kind of manufactured history in the labs of saffron labs. Meticulous research methodology of the west without bias is the only way to make India great. Knowledge based on sense perception of the foreigners who visited India during the past 2000 years, DNA based evidence available to us from the scientific sources tested in the western labs is the only way out for getting closer to reality about the past. Kudos to your efforts to painstaking efforts to produce the accurate information about the past. May I suggest you to produce series which will inform the world how Shankara Charya, Madhava Charya and Ramanuja Charya successfully driven out Bhudhism from the country of its origin and how the religion had to take shelter in China, Srilanka, and other foreign countries. It will be highly interesting study.
Amazing, devastated its over. Honsestly some of the content i've seen on Indian history. Please re release these in Multiple languages, It deserves to be heard by everyone
I liked every single minute of the entire series. There’s nothing to dislike. Only a bigot uneducated person would dislike it. In the era of social media everyone has forgotten how the society was. They can find out if they read a book. Not by modern historians. There lots of books available written around 1800 to know how caste worked. How temples were the inclusive member only club for Savarna upper caste. People have stopped reading books nowadays. Everything so called social media, podcast and likes of Abhijit Chabra peddles today are not history.
@Yourbrother05 Thank You Very Much for acknowledging the Truth. Commendable. If someone says that all people of a community are same, they are wrong. In fact, some of the greatest reformers have been from the Savarna Communities. Some people of egalitarian thought do generalise Savarna people. That is wrong and I apologise on their behalf.
Fantastic series. One of the interesting things was how development flourishes when diversity is embraced and gender biases are low but it is impeded whn conventional thinking is imposed.
You made history so interesting. It used to be scary subject to me in school. There is nothing in this series not to like. So well narrated and made it easy to understand. Please keep making such series and let us know. Thank you.
Thank you for this truly impressive and absolutely necessary series. I stumbled across episode 2 in my recommended list today, and after watching five minutes of it, I stopped and watched the whole series in one sitting. I can't wait to read the book. I'm not familiar with this channel, but this series' presence is a very positive recommendation indeed.
This series of history telling is a timely appearance when poor and non enlightened Indians are dragged to "Socrates Cave" by present day illiterate political demagogues. Thanks to Mr. Arora for this sophisticated endeavor, a balanced presentation.
Great series...this series threw me very good light on history from ancient to modern days..how India had gone the transformation by various rulers and different beliefs .
Thank you Namit. Enjoyed your book and the series immensely. They are full of insights and well-informed commentaries. I'm particularly impressed by your uncompromising stance on objectivity and in developing an evidence-based narrative. You painted on a vast canvas and yet captured subtle and nuanced details that helped to enrich the story told. Well done.
Namit ji, Thank you for putting together this series and the book. I have been looking for an abridged, readable book and series on Indian history and your work has proven to be exactly that.
Thank you Wire for this fantastic series.Very well made and narrated! Must be made in hindi as well as other Indian languages. Fascinating to know that without fighting wars the brahminical/priestly class could maintain power structures over many centuries by way of appropriation and creation of falsehoods. We can see the same tactics continue to this day. For example, BJP-RSS pays homage to reformists like Savitribhai phule today but their ideology and patriarchal attitude is still the same as that of the Hindu fundamentalists who opposed phule's efforts in education of girls. Pls continue this series by doing an exclusive section on how the caste system developed.
Dear Namit, What a pleasure to have seen your series Indians!! Absolutely mesmerising and highly educational. I wish to put in a suggestion though.. please give a Hindi commentary also as most of the north indian people would be more comfortable in understanding and comprehending in Hindi and those are the ones who must view your series to clear their heads of so many misunderstandings that they are carrying. Your work is amazing and i look forward to more such work. Regards
Good Morning Mr Arora, watched the entire series so certainly liked it and it was well presented. Trust a lot a research has gone into the book. Sorry to express my disappointment that it stopped in the 1700s. I thought it should have continued till date but then you and the producers know best. I would like to how the last 400 years unfolded especially the era of the Marathas who were probably the most dominant in terms of expanse
If there is one thing that disappoints is that you have wound up the series with this episode! Please consider expanding your lecture series! Fantastic stuff!
Fascinating account of our history and development of our religious beliefs. Wish there is a Hindi version for the common people who are blinded by faith.
This was an awesome playlist about Indian history. I think I learned so much and became a better citizen. So many misconceptions and doubts I had about Muslim rule are addressed with evidence. Thanks a lot for the entire team.
No doubts,it's a wonderful piece of insight about our history .Which makes you wonder how history has been misinterpreted by the political clan in our country.A must watch for all Indians in today's politically motivated misleading era. Great work @ Mr Namit Arora.
A very illuminating series, indeed. Informed by a literate mind which gazes back with a clarity based on the latest facts and reflecting a universal Indian of the 21st century. Samir Datta😮
I have liked your valuable presentation Sir Music at the beginning and at the end will echo in me for a long time. Thanks for your marvelous thoughts and narration in the presentation.
I would like to thank you for your rational thinking and great script and narration. The witty and informative style is very good. You also helped me to understand the question: whose history are we talking about. Is it that of the kings and rulers or the people and their context?
The most grateful thank to you in beyond words. I have studied from which Episode 1 till 10. As a whole; they led me entire brief understanding of India; learnt and inspired to development of further insightful mind and vision from Harappan civilizstion plus mild but sharp wit, " Never go to Bollywood to learn about the Harappans.." that one line of your voice taught me many directions of historians duty and prosfect must land on where and how; Yamnaya people droven into my vision of hope, and so forth. The most greatest things I have learnt from you; the last epilogue made me nearly sobbing. Especially, Episode 10 is quite sensitive topic but nesessary and inevitable to avoid to close the brief history of Indias, I was shocked how you arranged the step by step, classifying with in ample of evidences...in personally, your chosen words, tone of voice, wit in time, naturally down to earth gesturing and the volume of voice of which and how much everyone must beawear to jut down or speak up, and how it causes conflics. Your generous voice warned me many area of thoughts, and more homework to do for will be the good scholar to review the past our time. I am so lucky to foud your book and these all episodes and truely thank you with a great respect and love from YooA Kang p.s What is bad????? Is...any? What I know of...
A well-researched and professionally-presented series. It is sad that the series has ended. I have, however, bought your book "Indians: A Brief History of a Civilization", which I am sure will give me the experience of walking through the exhilarating history of India.
Dear Namit These Indian history series of yours are absolutely riveting.Congrats and best wishes.Please continue the good work.I can't get enough of it!
what a great series. thank you to all who helped to bring this together. I would love to see more deep dives like this, tackling other parts of history in the south asian subcontinent!
Yet another episode that rival the last one on facts and empirical analysis on the events of the past to that of the present situation. Raw History as it was...let it come
Thank you Namit for this wonderful series. Now to read yr book! And Natasha Badhwar: how about a Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, punjabi, gujarati, Konkani…. Version for a pan India audience?
Thanks Namit. This indeed was a well researched, objective and extremely interesting series on Indian history. I wish all Indians could watch this series not only to know our culturally rich past but to develop a rational thinking mindset, much needed in recent times. It surprising and also perplexing that how come we were more open minded when we were not exposed to the modern science and logic.
I am reading books about India history. This series gives a wide view about Indo-subcontinent with open mind. I do enjoy it. Nice if add colonized India part of history into this series.
Thank you Sir, I am impressed that you have spoken about thetopics ,which are so sensitive today...so categorically and pragmatically...I have enjoyed your series..and have shared it .. Will miss listening to more..used to wait impatiently for the next episode! Thank you so much ..hope you will make some more series.All the best..and a heart felt Thank you..have also bought the book ! Sincerely,neelam
Please continue this series. As an engineer I never ever found history so fascinating.
Thank you so much
I second this!

Too good. Thanks The Wire and Namit.

Thank you so much for the series! I hope you will come up with more such videos about the history and diversity of our country!
I liked every minute of this series. Never find history so alive before.
"We are the stories, we tell ourselves."
Fascinating account of our history and development of our religious beliefs. Wish there is a Hindi version for the common people who are blinded by faith.
I have never seen any series as excitedly as I watched this one. A masterpiece. Thank you to the whole team for producing this excellent series.
Simply fascinating, mind boggling, scholarly and scientific, together.
Wonderful narration correct perspective of history I fully agree with you
This was an awesome playlist about Indian history.
I think I learned so much and became a better citizen.
So many misconceptions and doubts I had about Muslim rule are addressed with evidence.
Thanks a lot for the entire team.
No doubts,it's a wonderful piece of insight about our history .Which makes you wonder how history has been misinterpreted by the political clan in our country.A must watch for all Indians in today's politically motivated misleading era.
Great work @ Mr Namit Arora.
A very illuminating series, indeed. Informed by a literate mind which gazes back with a clarity based on the latest facts and reflecting a universal Indian of the 21st century. Samir Datta😮
Very insightful series.. watched all 10 episodes. Looking forward for more.
I have liked your valuable presentation Sir
Music at the beginning and at the end will echo in me for a long time.
Thanks for your marvelous thoughts and narration in the presentation.
I would like to thank you for your rational thinking and great script and narration. The witty and informative style is very good. You also helped me to understand the question: whose history are we talking about. Is it that of the kings and rulers or the people and their context?
Thanks for bringing this series and its logical angle to see and interpret our history. We need such studies in these troubled times.
The most grateful thank to you in beyond words. I have studied from which Episode 1 till 10. As a whole; they led me entire brief understanding of India; learnt and inspired to development of further insightful mind and vision from Harappan civilizstion plus mild but sharp wit, " Never go to Bollywood to learn about the Harappans.." that one line of your voice taught me many directions of historians duty and prosfect must land on where and how; Yamnaya people droven into my vision of hope, and so forth. The most greatest things I have learnt from you; the last epilogue made me nearly sobbing. Especially, Episode 10 is quite sensitive topic but nesessary and inevitable to avoid to close the brief history of Indias, I was shocked how you arranged the step by step, classifying with in ample of evidences...in personally, your chosen words, tone of voice, wit in time, naturally down to earth gesturing and the volume of voice of which and how much everyone must beawear to jut down or speak up, and how it causes conflics. Your generous voice warned me many area of thoughts, and more homework to do for will be the good scholar to review the past our time. I am so lucky to foud your book and these all episodes and truely thank you with a great respect and love from YooA Kang p.s What is bad????? Is...any? What I know of...
Fantastic series. Very informative and superbly presented. Thank you
We need more videos ,thank you for your work ,I am very happy of you ,even government didn’t told me about my history
I liked the whole thing
A well-researched and professionally-presented series. It is sad that the series has ended. I have, however, bought your book "Indians: A Brief History of a Civilization", which I am sure will give me the experience of walking through the exhilarating history of India.
Excellent Job.
Dear Namit These Indian history series of yours are absolutely riveting.Congrats and best wishes.Please continue the good work.I can't get enough of it!
Congratulations on such a fascinating and wonderful series! Will rewatch this time and again.
Good job with the whole series 👏 👍
what a great series. thank you to all who helped to bring this together. I would love to see more deep dives like this, tackling other parts of history in the south asian subcontinent!
Awesome work. History was never that interesting to me. But this series on history was fascinating. I binge watched it.😅
Gaharvar, themselves patronized Buddhism and he is telling they destroyed it , look like some addition of propaganda to suit their narrative.
Thanks for bringing History to light, making it accessible to everyone and making us little more aware of our past and knowledgeable humans,
It's beautiful, inspiring and of course has motivated me to go deep in the creative journey of making something significant. Thank you so much.
Yet another episode that rival
the last one on facts and empirical analysis on the events of the past to that of the present situation. Raw History as it was...let it come
Thank you Namit for this wonderful series. Now to read yr book! And Natasha Badhwar: how about a Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, punjabi, gujarati, Konkani…. Version for a pan India audience?
And Kannada.
I badly need my parents to watch this series
Reasonable, enlightened, nuanced series - please continue!
Brilliant and thought provoking series. Completely changed my ideology towards Indian history. Please continue to make more such series.
Thanks Namit. This indeed was a well researched, objective and extremely interesting series on Indian history. I wish all Indians could watch this series not only to know our culturally rich past but to develop a rational thinking mindset, much needed in recent times. It surprising and also perplexing that how come we were more open minded when we were not exposed to the modern science and logic.
Amazing narration of past history with evidence, there is nothing to dislike about it. We all have to accept it and move on.
Erudite & well explained. Thank you Namit Arora & The Wire for this gem 🎉
Thank you and well appreciated
Blind devotion still present in present young youth of India
This historian lays out the facts. Those who are prepared to hear them have much to learn from him.
I am reading books about India history. This series gives a wide view about Indo-subcontinent with open mind.
I do enjoy it.
Nice if add colonized India part of history into this series.
Thank you Sir, I am impressed that you have spoken about thetopics ,which are so sensitive today...so categorically and pragmatically...I have enjoyed your series..and have shared it ..
Will miss listening to more..used to wait impatiently for the next episode! Thank you so much ..hope you will make some more series.All the best..and a heart felt Thank you..have also bought the book !
