Today on The Ranveer Show, we welcome Abhijit Chavda. He is a theoretical physicist, historian, geopolitical analyst, writer, and podcaster with a diverse knowledge of various subjects. I have had the fortune of talking to him on multiple episodes that we did on TRS.
In this episode, we talked about world history and the great lives of Alexander the Great & Genghis Khan. We deep-dived into the childhood of both fierce leaders and what led to their great legacy. We discussed why everyone should learn history, the great man theory, the life of Alexander, ancient Persia, ancient India, the life of Genghis Khan, the connection between the Mughals and Mongols, and much more.
If you’re interested in history, this is the episode for you because we have discussed every possible historical fact about the two fiercest leaders in history. I hope you enjoy this episode and tell us your thoughts in the comments section.

Seleucus marrying his daughter to Chandragupta was his achievement not Chandragupta's. It was an honour for him that Chandragupta accepted her as his wife.
Alexander's mother seems like Tony Soprano's mother only Tony Soprano realized what kind of person his mother is
Well, Alexander always had the makings of a varsity athlete, unlike Tony Sopranos.
Chanakya, guru of Chandragupta was really vitriolic towards Yavanas, its quite surprising he tolerated a Greek Princess in Maurya House. 😂 Probably because she was a princess otherwise its a big no no from him
Yes. But he didn’t allow her or her son to ascend the throne
@@nishendubaxi1128 Chanakya supported Bindusara over Chandragupta's other sons. Megasthenes had mentioned that Chandragupta had many sons.
Mauryas had Yavana concubines and Ganikas in their palaces doing chores of every type for king. Seleucus' daughter however as a princess was considered a legitimate queen because she was surrendered for the purpose of safeguarding Greek people living under Sandrocottus
Why Alexander is called great. But not Samudragupt or Lalit Aditya. Please make one episode on Lalitaditya mukatpida
Simple reason is because we have a western centric history and the in the west, he is "the great". The reason we have a western centric history is because west managed to colonize majority of the world. I am not defending west nor undermining any Indian or Eastern ruler, but just stating a sentence.
In India , we are so timid that we want ourselves to be western certified in every matter .
Because he had conquered 2/3rd of the known world at that time. Which part of Central Asia, Arabia or Europe did Samudragupta or Lalitaditya conquer
@@Trollstar2006 lalitaditya muktapida did capture much of central asia and India during his reign...his empire stretched from Caspian sea to the eastern part of india
@@aitesamahmed2844 i dont think so g. respectfully Alexander has managed to be immortal in history simply because he was able to hummble one of the best empires of the time, the Persians into submission. uuntil that time, Persia was the bastion of civilization, with west and east under him, he definitely deserves the nomer "the Great"
26:02 Correction, that's the treaty between Hellenistic Persia and Babylon and India. Macedonia didn't come under Seleucid rule though Anatolia did. Seleucus' wife was also Persian.
It was the King of Gandhara (Ambhi) who invited Alexander to come & invade India. Out of his personal rivalry with Paurava Kingdom, he did this. He thought Alex would Conquer & hand over the region to him. 😅
Instead Alex was impressed with Porus Bravery & allowed him to rule.
The alliance between Alexander and Omphis was defeated by Porus so Alexander abandoned Omphis and made friends with Porus and the two Emperors came to friendship agreement
@@BhagyalaxmiKumari-vb4ub Submitting to a foreign force can't be called an alliance. Ambhi wasn't allowed to rule on his own once he admitted to submit. A Greek governor was appointed who ruled along with Ambhi. Nor was Porus independent anymore. It's just that he accepted to rule under the Alexander's Supremacy and helped him in his expedition further eastwards upto Beas.
@@lakshay7901 That's what Greek sources wants us to believe
@lakshay7901 that's only Greek sources Indian sources don't even mention this so believing only one source seems foolish
@@karandullet380 Well if we got only one reliable source of history, then what else option do we have than to analyse the available source. 🤷
Certainly Alexander Invading India upto Beas isn't denied by the Historians.
Tell us something about Spartacus. How the rebellion began and what time?
How happy and proud 💪 are someone who say
I am Turk.
Sultan Osman Khan
Why does this Alexander look like Karthik Aryan 😂
Chandragupta Maurya had many wives including daughter of Seleucus and Apama.
Alexander did not found only Alexandria. He also founded modern Herat, Kandahar and few more cities
Kandahar comes from Iskandar which comes from Alexander. So, technically, Kandahar is Alexandria.
Kandahar was a city even before Alexander came in
Kandahar is literally Gandhara from where Gandhari is bro
Founding ❌
Renaming ✅
Kandahar came from Gandhar, are you someone of a colonized mindset?
Alexander The Great named cities after his favourite horse. That's how little he thought of others 😂
Chandragupta's wife Durdhara was daughter of his eldest maternal uncle or of his distant relative and their son was Bindusara. Durdhara is called really passionate towards Chandragupta. Bindusara's wife Subhadhrangi is also called of Maurya lineage and Mura, mother of Chandragupta is also called of Moriya lineage. It hints that these queens were commoners and not princesses. 😱
After facing the toughest battles in his life against Porus, Mallis etc, Alexander wanted his Soldiers to fight the Nanda Empire but they begged him to not fight them.
Really nice presentation..I appreciate both of you 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
If Alexander didn't defeat Porus. Then why did Greeks stay there for centuries after? But what a great story. That the empires get stronger and stronger the farther away from home he goes? I think he would have been defeated by the Nanda. With 1500 war elephants, and insurmountable odds...How glorious.
And why did Alexander campaign for a year after lol. (Tons of evidence Alexander won btw).
@@GabrielNicho Nonsense
@@johnnyt9022 Yeah, it's not like the Greeks had a presence in the area for hundreds of years after.....
Greeks didn't have any presence in India, but in Afghanistan, Iran and Central Asia. Stop seeing afghanistan as India.
@@GabrielNichoThere are no Indian, Persian or non-greek sources regarding the battle between Alexander and Porus other than the Greek sources which are therefore unreliable. However, there are definitely Indian and Greek sources about the battle between Selucas Necator and Chandragupta Maurya wherein the latter defeats the Greek king.
25:35 This guy Seleucus gave his Second wife to his son because he was dying due to passion for her. Seleucus used to sacrifice young maidens on foundation of his cities 😢😡 26:10 Its surprising Chandragupta tolerated him as his father in law and his daughter as his wife. She must had been really beautiful. 😕
26:42 Not greek wife, Greek-Persian wife. Seleucus' fully Greek daughter Phila was married to Antigonus Gonatas.
Pure Greek her mother was a GREEK princess Stratonice the second wife of Seleucas and Apama gave birth to only 2 sons
@@ntenimarkorareincarnation4182 Stratonice gave birth to Phila only.
@@ntenimarkorareincarnation4182what's your source for this information? Why would Seleucus poison Apama?
@@Samaira-vs6nx Stratonice gave birth to 3 daughters and Apama gave birth to 3 sons
@@Samaira-vs6nx Some historians suggest it some others say she died maybe from some illness her death is a mystery! Seleucas loved beautiful Stratonice for long time she was very beautiful and young he married her when she was 15 years old and he made a big wedding ceremony for that! Seleucas never loved Apama its a historic fact he treated her poorly and used her as womb!
26:15 Chandragupta bought Greek-Persian Princess with 500 elephants 😂🤣🙄
She was pure Greek Princess! Apama gave birth to only 2 sons later Seleucas married Stratonice a Greek Princess who gave birth to 3 daughters one was Helen
@@ntenimarkorareincarnation4182 You really think Seleucus would marry his fully Greek daughter with Chandragupta and ruin his chances to capture Greece. 😂🤣 He hid the fact that he had married his daughter to Chandragupta out of shame. Chandragupta could care less about a Yavana woman. He married her and was an object of pleasure for him and he too used her as a womb only. Only later roman scholars found out about it and cryptically mentioned it. Otherwise the fact would remain hidden in History forever.
@@BhagyalaxmiKumari-vb4ub it doesn't matter what i think! It's a fact! Apama gave birth to only two sons and Stratonice gave birth to only 3 daughters! Helen was either the first or last one it's disputed! Also Helen was not only a womb! Chandragupta Maurya respected her as equal and had her opinions in politics taken as advice he had some daughters with her and possibly a son so he liked her! Apama never had a status she never was loved or being taken seriously! Berenice is another infamous Greek Princess in India!
@@BhagyalaxmiKumari-vb4ub Its not about what i think its a historic fact! Apama gave birth to only two sons and Stratonice gave birth to only three daughters !!! One was Helen its disputed though if she was the first or last one! Ancient Greeks and Eastern Byzantines used a lot to give their daughters as gift to foreigners it was very common or courtesans as spies this habit passed later to Russians from Sophia Palaiologina! Helen was equal to Chandragupta Maurya he heard her voice and she gave birth to some daughters too its disputed if she gave birth to a son too but most likely no cause if she had he would have been the first mixed Indian/Greek King! Actually Chandragupta respected Helen more than his Indian wife! Berenice is another infamous Greek Princess of India !!! Ancient Greeks weren't ashamed to marry off their daughters with foreigners !!!
@@ntenimarkorareincarnation4182 You need help 😢 there is no evidence of Stratonice giving birth to three daughters. Please stop being obsessed with your own fanfiction or else provide real evidence.
why id feels like this talk already happened......same talk,,,,rome,mahabarath, same old
Alexander was a military genius but very young and therefore his General looted and divided his empire.
After a long time superstar of history came to trs
The great Nanda dynasty king Mahapadma Nanda was ruling from Magadha to the Jhelum. Alexander, who set out to conquer the world, stood on the banks of the Jhelum with his army. His army's morale was breaking due to the military strength of Magadha. The Nandas were preparing for war.
No historical records whatsoever. From Indian side
@@yuvraj..6741the greek records are from many centuries after alexander. And greeks are known for overstating things.
@@JusticeAboveAll-ro3sm yeah, I'm not saying Greeks are trustable sources for this case. I'm just saying i don't think the Nanda dynasty even came to know about Alexander's conquest. He got dealt with even before that.
Well during Alexander's time ,Dhana Nand was the ruler not Mahapadma Nand
The Macedon Army had not seen their homeland in 14 years and was totally exhausted. That was the biggest reason.
26:44 Megasthenes, Greek Diplomat at the court of Chandragupta Maurya writes young sons of Chandragupta Maurya used to play in the palace ponds as young boys and played with fish and sailed their toy boats. Here's your answer Ranveer. 😂
Interesting.
This guy doesnt give any particulars and just generalizes everything. During the first battle at Granicus Darius was not leading the Persian army nor at the Battle of Issus. At the battle of Gaugemela the persian army was estimated at 250000 and the Persian casualties were an estimated 15000 - not 300000.
So no 1 : 10 ratio or half a million to a million men ?
This guy doesn't want to accept the fact that Alexander came to india. He has his own stupid narratives
@@harsh6764 who? Chavda?
@@yuvraj..6741 yes
@@harsh6764 it's not just him though. There truly are no records of Alexander's conquest of India from the Indian scholars. Keerti history covered the same topic as well.
Besides it logically makes no sense for a man who wanted to conquer the world to stop at the Indian borders and retreat after winning (*if he actually won)
Alexander was defeated in India.
Just watch the movie Alexander and you will see.
lol, no history says he was defeated...not even Indian history.
Bruh... U think movies are true?? Lmao
@GabrielNicho
Why would Alexander run away from India, if he was not defeated?
His horse, Besopharys, was killed and Alexander fell down from his horse and was grievously wounded.
If that is not a defeat, what else is?
@debsekhardas7357
Movie Alexander was highly researched historical movie.
Alexander horse, Besopharus, was killed and Alexander fell down from his horse and was grievously wounded.
If that is not a defeat, then what is?

"Jo Haara Wohi Sikander " he was great looser 😂😂😂
Please sir don't insult a historical figure because this is not what is taught by our culture
Alexander is the greatest conqueror in human history he did something which the heroes of the greek mythology couldn't he went to war with literal civilizations and all that with the technology and battle tactics of over 2000 years ago
19:05 Darius 's wife Statira and 2 daughters Barsine/Statira 2 and Drypetis were captured by Alexander
Please make a video on bappa rawal, Sohail dev
chavda sir has watched the movie of Alexander the great and now he is mixing his own indian spices in the story 😂😂
Gandhara art was spread by Kushanas not Indo Greeks
Chavda has become a historian now ? Ahh that tells the story !
Far Better than romila begum thappad
This guy's show's purpose is to twist the history, science, logic etc
Why do you say more or less Pakistan, Alexander went up till Multan.
Raiding less conquest
Alexander the great 💥🌪️❤️🔥
Wtf in syria 50000 greeks beat 1 million persians??? Is this even possible physically???
What makes him great. 😅 Define greatness.
West defines greatness by military conquests.
Alexander could not win India n was fatally injured n on his way back in Babylon he died
Abhijit Chavda was friend of Alexander,, so he know well about Alexander 😜😜🫣🤣🤣🤣
Idk why but Sikandar sounds so much cooler than Alexander😂. Sikandar sounds like a middle aged chad with cool beard but Alexander sounds like some white nerdy kid
The word Maura (au pronounced as av) or mavra in Greek roughly means "black". Any chance they got this from Maurya (would have been pronounced as Mavria) a word for the color of skin that the Greeks saw in India and generalized using the then emperor's name.
Maurya means peacock in Sanskrit and it has many more meaning in puranas and other scriptures.
Maurya word comes from Moriya which was a republic in Uttar Pradesh
@@arpandebnath7656 you seem to be the typical bozo inhabiting the internet. Responding without reading, just to be able to say something as part of a herd.

Firstly stop calling him great!!
Indian cope levels are high in the comment section 😂
I don't know what's your obsession with Mr. Chavda but could you please bring in some fresh faces?
He got a good few things incorrect based on what is recorded in history.
Please write just Lexander Macedonian not great.
He dont need history book history books needs him😅🎉🎉

No wonder ptolemaic dynasty was crazy 😂
@@Samaira-vs6nx she was considered the most beautiful woman of her time and very sophisticated, charming and cunning and intelligent
I have seen this Abhijit guy. Be careful, if you learn history from this guy, you will never get into CSE
1 min into the video and the historical inaccuracies starts. Philip did not conquer Sparta. Sparta was deemed so useless by the time of Phillip that they did not even bother conquering it.
Philip did invade Sparta's territory. When he was establishing his authority over the Peloponnese, he entered Lakedaemon and ravaged its territory, but he did not attack the city itself.
Sparta was not considered useless philip did want to conquer it completely he had sent letter to them asking them to fully surrrender. To which spartans refused. Philip thought casualties wud be great so rather than attacking city hr went after outside territories making them weaker and weaker.
Just a glance at ur name gives it away😂😂😂
Well, I apologise if by saying " Sparta was useless" I exaggerated the status and wasn't able to convey it in text but my point still remains. Philip did not conquer Sparta. But as per the video, he did. So, unless he was exaggerating as well, its wrong info. And looking at the tone of the voice or context, I got a feeling that he was stating it as a fact.
@@Nostalgic14-zo3pk whats wrong in my name? And atleast I have the self respect of using my name unlike you. Unless you have anything worthy of saying, please stay quiet srimanth.
Any guy with access to internet could tell you that 😂. What's new?
Why is the fact not accepted that Vindusara, the son of Chandragupta, married the daughter of Selukas Nictar and they had a son who went on to become Emperor Ashoka, the greatest Emperor of all times?
Um no. Chandra Gupta married the daughter of Seleucus and no Bindusara's mother was someone else. And Ashoka's mother was someone else too. Please just check at least wikipedia before commenting
Selukas Nectar gave his daughter, Helen to Chandragupt Maurya.
But children from Helen did not become kings.
Ashoka is just as overrated as Alexander (*okay, maybe a little less but still overrated nonetheless)
You just made another hypothesis, which has no gorund existence. Atleast read authentic articles before commenting.
Bindusara didn't but Chandragupta married a daughter of Seleucus and that too Seleucus was forced to surrender her and he only did because she was born from his Persian wife. His Greek daughter was married to Macedonian King Antigonus Gonatas
Indian people need to stop with this revisionist history.
Porus wasn't defeated, Abhijit said in this old podcasts, what happened dude? 🤣😂
I can sense so much hatred being directed towards Alexander,but guys wait .I know we have this inferiority complex taking in consideration our colonial past so we just wish to glorify our own nation in the false name of patriotism but does patriotism teach us to consider others inferior to give ourselves a superior outlook.
What Alexander did at that point of time was something which no-one else could do.This is a very underlying fact that India had huge kingdoms further east i.e.Nanda Empire ruling Magadh .After defeating Porus at the battle of Hydaspes in the north west .He asked his soldiers to move and conquer the remaining part of India but they denied as they were on expedition for more than a year .
Given that even geographically Asia , particularly,Southeast Asia has a dense population and more biodiversity than Europe so it was a great possibility that Alexander could have lost but he had the courage and passion to conquer the world which by itself is a fact which cannot be denied and if we talk about death in history it is not at all clear what the real cause of his death was .
I have come across Indians even talking ill about their own rulers or great men but we should start looking at the things with a greater perspective.Just imagine if Alexander were Indian,we would have shared proudly with the world .
Just common and look at the whole Earth as our iwn family you will then start respecting achievements which humanity has made from one place or another .
I meant no offense to anyone and nor can I change someone's mindset but I can atleast advocate for the change
exactly. Praisingh your own neednt be at the cost of belittling others
yeah this guy made porus look like a nobody to glorify the ancient indian idea of his
Why do you keep inviting people who don't like Mahatna ghandi 😢
What is your problem
Parshwapur? lol thats like a whatsapp uncle calling australia Asthralaya
There is mention of Parsvas, read god damn books
A liar is in podcast
this channels guests has some poor knowledge of history
What wrong did Mr. Chavda say regarding Alexander
Please tell correct
This guy historically knowledge is rarely backed up by anything reliable. Recently he was claiming Pashtuns in Afghanistan as Indians. He is another grifter from whatapp university. I don't know why people follow him. 3:10 again he is wrong about that. Under Cyrus the Great, the founder of the vast Achaemenid Empire, the Persians conquered parts of the northern Indian subcontinent, roughly corresponding to modern-day Pakistan.
Yup Pakhthuns were Pakhthas of ancient India
"Alexander The Looser"👎
Exactly, stop calling him great. 👍
You clearly don't have any knowledge of Alexander's conquests apart from this video. He was a powerful leader and a strategic genius. In a decade he conquered the Persian Empire. You can abstain from calling him Great but you would be a fool to call him a loser.
People who don't know history will hate him ofcource. You must be a some kid I bet
stop it.
Not, great but, can't call him a loser!!! Do, u even know what the distance between India & Macedonia is ??? Simply, Saying him a loser is disrespectful towards the journey, people, culture & Influence he made. Even, today 75% of Tribes in Central Asia, Himachal Pradesh, J&K, Afganistan & minor Pakistani tribes have Indo Greece genes. Ur words are a complete disgrace !!! Buddhism was in its peak during the Indo-Greece kingdom which also ruled North Indian plains Including Varanasi after the demise of Mauryans later empire. They were later conquered by Huns
Alexander the gand
Alexander, the Great Fool.
He was a great man, leader, and strategist. Certainly less of a fool than yourself
@@trantorthetroll8768Bro this fools hate Alexander. 😂😂
The great tyrant to be historically accurate
he is a fake made up character by white supremacists
I know this chavda. He is a numskull. He hire freelance paper writer to create research pappers and took the credit and publish it. Don't know why ranveer is still doing podcast with him....
Just do your own research on what he's saying. It's not like he's re-writing history in anything. Other history related channels on yt too have the same interpretation as him in multiple cases
At last someone says something logical.
Everyone just show their hatered towards Alexander. But every history books you find the great warrior Alexander. Except this bullshit podcast.
And worst thing is he glorified the bloody mass murderer Cheng i's Khan 🖕🖕🖕
He tried to portray Cheng i's khan as hero & Alexander as a murderer.
@@souravbosu1386 school history books where he's glorified by European historians. Not historical records, he has literally referred to various books and articles related to Alexander and yet people are too lazy to do their own research
Mate, I am from England, studied history till college. Abhijit Chavda is in no way what you claim. The guy is very smart. And for your information, it is important to have a team of researchers and historians. Do you think Western Historians don't have other sources to cross check information ??? It's normal. However, yes, he has given one version of Alexander , which is mainly from the Greek perspective. There are accounts that in his Battle with the Indian King Porus , Alexander was injured and from there he retreated and died of his injuries on the way back to Greece
@@sanjayshah7776they have agenda To destroyed Glory of Indian Society
