Krishnadevaraya: the Epic Story of Medieval India’s Greatest King
Krishnadevaraya ranks among India's greatest kings -- by the end of his life he remained undefeated on the battlefield, and had built the Vijayanagara Empire up to the apex of its power and prosperity. Even more fascinating: he was a low-caste king, with perpetual "underdog" status.
Welcome to his amazing, larger-than-life story.
For more on Vijayanagara, check out our other video here: czcams.com/video/NtvepHA4Pfo/video.html
Special thanks to Srinivas Reddy for his excellent new book on Krishnadevaraya: "Raya"

They drain huge amount with the IPL and Bollywood whom people adore and treat them as their role models .

    One thing to note on this though. A united centralised india is a British creation. Yes it had moments of some unity but it functioned more like the holy roman empire where the many states were in a loose empire. If it had been left to itself its likely it would have developed into many different countries similar to how europe looks now.

Remember, none of these countries would’ve given up their colonies if they didn’t go bankrupt from destroying each other in WWII. So next time you hear about “free countries”, remember that it equates with colonial countries. And don’t forget to notice how “authoritarian dictatorships” all happen to be countries that resist their colonial grabs.

    So the lesson is, don’t let the British take over or you’re f*****. I am still pretty hazy on how the British took over, you kind of hand waved that away. You said there was a power vacuum that went on for 10 years before they took over. Did they just happen to show up after 10 years and all the industrialized people had killed each other already? Were the Indians good at manufacturing but bad at governance? I heard from another source that the British just had small trading posts for a long time and they won popular support from the peasantry because they would actually police unlike the indigenous government. I don’t doubt that it was as bad as you say but it is not at all clear how a much smaller country took over a much bigger one that was also industrialized.

    Funny how Indias population was static at only 200 million for over 1000 years before Britain colonised it. Within 100 years of British rule it had increased to 250 million and by 1947 it had shot up to 350 million. Famines happened under British rule, but they had always happened. Before the Industrial revolution, (solely the work of the British) famines happened regularly, everywhere. These are strange types of extra genocide and famines that dramatically increase the population after 1,000 years of a stagnent population under other rulers. I wonder how that happened? Also, how come only 30,000 British troops thousands of miles from home could keep the peace against 250 million Indians in a country the British troops were not aclimitised to? Were the British supermen? Also, how come so many Indians volunteered to fight for the British Empire in both world wars and others? Could it be that maybe a great many Indians saw considerable advantages of being in the British Empire and so co-operated with it? That seems likely to me. Also slavery was common throughout the world, including in India, before it was abolished single-handedly by the British Empire. (Conveniently forgotten by almost everybody in the world). Maybe some of the Indian taxes went on that? Could it be that this video is not telling the whole truth? Could it be that without the British Empire and the industrial revolution that the Empire powerfully sponsored, that the entire world would still be living in the 16th century? There was nothing inevitable about the industrial revolution, if Newcomen had not invented the steam engine to kick it off, it almost certainly would never have happened at all and we would all still be living in horrendous medieval conditions.

      Oh, absolutely! Because clearly, the British Empire was just a big ol' charity organization, spreading joy and prosperity wherever it went. Forget about colonial exploitation, economic subjugation, and cultural erasure; it was all about making the world a better place, one famine and one genocide at a time. And those British troops? Clearly, they were descendants of Superman, capable of single-handedly pacifying entire populations with their sheer Britishness. As for Indians volunteering to fight in wars for the Empire, well, who wouldn't want to sign up for some good old-fashioned imperialism, right? And let's not forget how the British Empire swooped in and abolished slavery everywhere, single-handedly saving the day! Who needs historical context or critical thinking when you've got such a convenient narrative to cling to? Thank goodness for the British Empire, eh? Otherwise, we'd all still be stuck in the Dark Ages, waiting for our British overlords to enlighten us.

Oh, just a few minor hiccups in an otherwise flawless record of benevolent colonialism. Who needs historical accuracy when you can rewrite the past to fit a more comfortable narrative, right?

      The Mahabharata, one of the major ancient Indian epics, also provides descriptions of Bharata Varsha (the land of Bharata or India) and its geographical features, including rivers, mountains, and other natural landmarks. Here's an overview: Geography: Bharata Varsha is depicted as a vast and diverse landmass, bounded by the Himalayas in the north and the Indian Ocean in the south. It is described as a land of great beauty and natural resources, encompassing plains, forests, mountains, and fertile river valleys. Mountains: The Mahabharata mentions several important mountain ranges within Bharata Varsha, including the Himalayas in the north. Other significant mountain ranges mentioned include the Vindhya Range, the Sahyadri (Western Ghats), and the Eastern Ghats. Rivers: Numerous rivers are described in the Mahabharata, flowing through Bharata Varsha and providing water and fertility to the land. Some of the prominent rivers mentioned include the Ganga (Ganges), Yamuna, Saraswati, Godavari, Narmada, Krishna, and Kaveri. These rivers are considered sacred and play important roles in religious rituals, myths, and legends. Cities and Regions: The Mahabharata describes various cities, towns, and regions within Bharata Varsha, each with its own unique characteristics and significance. Important cities mentioned include Hastinapura, Indraprastha (modern-day Delhi), Mathura, Ayodhya, and Kurukshetra, where the epic battle of the Mahabharata took place. The Mahabharata mentions the southern region known as Kerala as part of Bharata Varsha. The epic refers to the region of Andhra as part of Bharata Varsha. It is mentioned in various contexts, including the travels of the Pandavas during their exile and interactions with rulers from southern regions. Tamil Nadu is referred to in the Mahabharata as Tamilakam, which was part of Bharata Varsha. While Tamil Nadu might not be explicitly mentioned by its modern name, the references to Tamilakam encompass the region. The Mahabharata also makes references to other regions in South India, such as Karnataka (anciently known as Karanataka) and parts of present-day Telangana. These regions are often mentioned in the context of the epic's narrative, interactions between characters, or descriptions of the geography of Bharata Varsha.

For the infidels whom it conquers are creatures..., even, as these make it unprosperous, the annihilation of the sickness was necessary to the existence of the majesty. The existence of one involved the annihilation of the other..... "You hardly utter a sentence of our Romance tongue, without speaking some word which was spoken in the same sense by that ancient people, ten thousand years ago or more, in the mountain-valleys which they first inhabited. You have their idiosyncrasies of thought, the same indelible characteristics of race; for you are their descendants. From them you have your excellencies & your faults, your energy, your vigor of intellect, your philosophical cast of thought, your indomitable resolution, your persistent pursuit of the object you desire to attain; from them the religious leanings & inclinations of your minds; from them your social institutions & relations, & the foundation-stones of your laws, customs, habits; from them all your philosophical & religious doctrines. They were white men, as we are, the superior race in intellect, in manliness, the governing race of the world, the conquering race of all the races. They called themselves Arya, the Aryans, the Warlike, or, some think, the Noble. " [Lectures of the Arya, Albert Pike, 1930, Lecture One: The Aryan Race] "The example of Bolivia has shown that once the Indian begins voting, he has little common cause with large landowning or industrial interests. Thus the best hope for the status quo is to keep the Indian ignorant, sick, poverty stricken, & politically impotent." [The Great Shark Hunt, Hunter S. Thompson, 1977, Part 3, The Inca of the Andes: He Haunts the ruins of His Once Great Empire, p. 418] "The Anglo-American System... had no place for the Indian. If the latter could of his own initiative find subsistence within the framework, there was a priori nothing to prevent such adjustment. But if there was any conflict whatsoever with the system, the native was to be estimated ruthlessly, either by outright extermination or the slower method of segregation in ghettolike reservations." (S.F. Cook, The Conflict Between California Indians and White Civilization, II, Ibero-American: 22, University of California Press, 1943, Berkley) [Indians of California: Past and Present, American Friends Service Committee] 'The Residential School System' "Irene Couchie Dupuis was among approximately 150,000 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children some as young as four - who, for over a century, were removed from their homes and sent to live at residential schools across Canada. The schools were created and funded by the federal government in the belief that Indigenous peoples were uncivilized and needed to be "saved" from themselves. In reality, that "education" cost Indigenous children the loss of their families and communities, their Indigenous languages, and their traditions. The schools were run by Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, United, and Anglican churches and were staffed by nuns, priests, and teachers. Rules were strict, conditions harsh. Children were poorly fed; infectious diseases thrived; many students died alone and far from home. Basic skills and trades were taught, but generally children were overworked, and the quality of education was poor. Those who broke the rules were punished. Most of the children felt lonely, isolated, and unloved." [Uncited book]

    "In North America alone, it is estimated that the British Empire killed more than 50 million indigenous people between 1492 and 1900. And it is not just indigenous peoples who were killed by the British Empire... According to estimates by Tharoor, 35 million Indians were killed by British policies in the aftermath of several famines... While it is impossible to know exactly how many people were killed by the British Empire by 1914, estimates range from tens of millions to upwards of 100 million people. The true number will likely never be known, but what is certain is that the British Empire was responsible for the deaths of millions of people during its time.... The British Empire was built on sweat and blood. Over the centuries, the British military has been involved in wars all over the world in order to protect the British Empire and its citizens from invaders.

    "The Sackler family, a sprawling and now feuding transatlantic dynasty, is famous in cultural and academic circles for decades of generous philanthropy towards some of the world’s leading institutions, from Yale University to the Guggenheim Museum in the US and the Serpentine Gallery to the Royal Academy in Britain. But what’s less well known, though increasingly being exposed, is that much of their wealth comes from one product - OxyContin, the blockbuster prescription painkiller first launched in 1996. The pill is stronger than morphine and sparked the opioid crisis that’s now killing more than 100 people a day in America and has spawned millions of addicts. It’s also attracted a wave of lawsuits alleging ongoing deception about the safety of OxyContin, which the company had previously admitted misbranding in a 2007 criminal case. Two branches of the family control Purdue Pharma, which makes OxyContin but, unlike their company, none of the Sacklers are personally being sued over it." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/13/meet-the-sacklers-the-family-feuding-over-blame-for-the-opioid-crisis CHATGPT: The legal systems within the Anglosphere, which are largely influenced by English Common Law, do not typically have penalties as severe as those mentioned in the Hittite law you referenced. Capital punishment for sexual offenses is generally not part of modern legal frameworks in Anglosphere countries. Instead, legal systems in these countries typically rely on a range of criminal penalties, which may include imprisonment, fines, probation, and other forms of punishment. The severity of the penalty often depends on the specific offense, its circumstances, and the laws of the jurisdiction in question. While the principle of restitution is not as prominent in modern Western legal systems as it might have been in ancient Hittite law, contemporary legal approaches often focus on justice, rehabilitation, and protecting the rights of victims within the framework of established laws and human rights standards. "First, we must understand that English common law is not civil law."... "Like the rest of creation, man is subject to laws laid down by the Creator. Man, unlike the rest of creation, has a certain degree of free will, but, says Blackstone, even this free will is governed and limited by God's law. Furthermore, man is not left to his own, fumbling around in search of an elusive law; rather God has affirmatively revealed His law so that man may find it acceptable." [Sir William Blackstone & the Common Law, Robert Stacey, Ph. D., 2003, p. 47 & 61] CHATGPT: While it is true that legal systems, including common law, are designed to address claims of authority, property, and other matters, the characterization of common law as inherently designed to protect unlawful claims of authority may be overly broad. Common law systems, including the English Common Law, provide a framework for resolving disputes, interpreting laws, and ensuring justice. Common law is based on precedents and judicial decisions, and it allows for the evolution of legal principles over time. While some argue that common law systems provide flexibility and adaptability, others may critique potential ambiguities or gaps in the law. Civil law systems, on the other hand, typically rely more heavily on codified laws and statutes, offering a more comprehensive and structured legal framework. Each legal tradition has its strengths and weaknesses, and the effectiveness of a legal system often depends on various factors, including its implementation, interpretation, and adaptability. It's crucial to recognize that legal systems can vary significantly between jurisdictions, and generalizations may not capture the nuances of individual systems or their application in specific cases. Discussions on the merits of different legal traditions are ongoing within legal scholarship and practice. ME: But common law inherently establishes, protects and expands peerages claims of title, ownership, and amnesty, correct? CHATGPT: Common law does recognize and protect certain property rights, titles, and legal concepts, but it would be an oversimplification to say that it inherently establishes, protects, and expands peerages claims of title, ownership, and amnesty. Common law systems, such as the English Common Law, have evolved over centuries and encompass a wide range of legal principles. In terms of property rights and titles, common law provides a framework for determining ownership, resolving disputes, and establishing legal principles through judicial decisions and precedents. While the protection of property rights is a fundamental aspect of common law, it is not limited to peerages claims; it applies to individuals and entities across society. Similarly, common law includes principles related to individual rights, legal responsibilities, and due process. The concept of amnesty may be more closely associated with legal or executive discretion rather than being an inherent aspect of common law. It's important to recognize that common law systems are complex, dynamic, and adaptable. They provide mechanisms for addressing a wide range of legal issues and are shaped by judicial decisions, statutes, and legal traditions. As with any legal system, the interpretation and application of common law can vary, and generalizations may not capture the full diversity of its principles and applications.

    The level of evil is astonishing. Even we in Europe who never had power were used like that, but India is truly something else entirely. The whole history regarding the west’s exploitation of India and China is horrific and should be condemned by all countries, including those who caused them.

    Sadly the video is full of sh** and lies, just from the begining the percentage in 1700 Indian Economy is just false. Also why it don´t explain how so few british coul have taken contro of an entire subcontinent, if it were so rich and united... short answer, it wan´t. Also Mighal Empire were invasors, they were mongols and practiced sunni religion, it was already "occupy" by foreigners.

    Why do we keep calling him the indian machivelli?? chanakya was born in 375 B.C, He wrote the arthashastra long before Machiavelli was born (in 1469), It should be Machiavelli who should be known as the Italian Chanakya🤷‍♂️
