India, China, and the Maritime Silk Road: More Than Just a Trade Route | Indian Ocean History
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 05. 2021
- From ancient times to the medieval era, the Maritime Silk Road (also known as the Indian Ocean trade routes) has served as a trade superhighway connecting India, China, Southeast Asia, the Arab world, East Africa, and the Mediterranean.
The Maritime Silk Road is an icon of pre-modern globalization, and we can learn a great deal about the interconnectedness of the ancient and medieval world through examining the unique details of this network. But it was more than just a trade route -- the Maritime Silk Road was traversed not only by merchants, but also diplomats, adventurers, monks, and others.

In the US, India’s history is very overlooked. The Chola Empire, one of the richest and longest lasting trading kingdoms in human history, gets less teaching time in world history classes than Henry VIII of England, a single ruler who was king of a country of only about 5 million at the time. I wouldn’t know any Indian history outside of the Maurya, Gupta, Chola, Mughal, and British empires if it weren’t for this channel. Thank you, and I hope history isn’t taught with as much eurocentrism in the future.
Thank you for your thoughts, and for watching. I really appreciate it!
US was discovered trying to find India
The US cares more about the US than the rest of the world. It's just natural. I wouldn't expect India to have American history, it's irrelevant.
Why wouldn't it after all??
@@rossevanricamara4169 then why am I taught extensively about European history, including details about the Romans, the HRE, Charlemagne, the 30 Years’ War, the migration period, the Byzantine conquests of Italy, enlightened despotism, etc? Those things have nothing to do with American history, yet European history takes up more than half of our world history classes while India is always a sidenote.
I'm delighted to learn about all these things, most of us just think of British and mughals when they think about Indian history, no one to blame except our textbook writers
The Bad news 📰 here is School 🏫 textbooks 📚 are in practice NOT made for learning but for purposes of propaganda; to mold “factory workers” but not citizens with responsibilities and aspirations

As if hearing about-neglected history-from Indians themselves to their discontent about The Histories of South and Northeast India 🇮🇳 is already bad enough (looks like other countries have a similar problem as ours and it’s NOT a good thing, I also came to know one example from a Malaysian 🇲🇾 commenter on this channel that parts of their history are being neglected like the existence of the Langkasuka Kingdom, part of Malaysia’s Pre-Islamic History) not to make an insensitive comparison here, but I am only speaking from my experiences being born and raised in SEAsia-in a region that prioritizes producing cheap labor to export out of the country (why do you think we’re “everywhere” but not much good media coverage) instead of molding future responsible Citizens to contribute to nation building, point is my country 🇵🇭 had it WORSE when it comes to neglect of (Pre-colonial history) History subject in school 🏫 which basically goes like this in Elementary and High-school level:
•Fast forward with outdated details about Early human migrations and some basics like the Barangay unit--WITHOUT going into detail the many Kingdoms and recorded peoples that used to exist here, along side their foreign relations with nearby neighbors and faraway places who also contributed to the enrichment of Ancient Filipino culture and especially of their achievements like a lot of Gold-work used in everyday things, gold thread 🧵 weaving, jewelry (ritual, religious, ornamental), ceremonial weapons, sculptures made of Gold (Golden Tara of Agusan), strong maritime cultural tradition and a whole lot more--and of the balangays (small support boats for bigger ships) that were used to transport peoples and goods
•Some foggy 🌫 details about the Early 1521 and Late 1898 Spanish 🇪🇸 period and contributions with one sided POV for needless vivification, real thing is a lot more nuanced but they brought some good and bad (guess who wrote the History books 📚 from our “DepEd”)
•American Period Featuring Slightly more cherry picked details (while omitting the unsavory essentials) to highlight needless romanticization of USA 🇺🇸 with the real thing being a lot more nuanced but has wrought a lot more damage to the psyche of the “Filipino people” like indebting Filipino businesses, manpower, military and political needs to making Philippines 🇵🇭 develop an unhealthy dependency on USA 🇺🇸 like the “Bell Trade Act” in a series of unfair treaties and strings attached political machinations

It’s ok and thank you for reading 📖 my comment that expresses my frustrations with the shitty Education system in Philippines 🇵🇭 I know this because I went through it; by further propagating the colonial narrative (of the 🇺🇸 92% consistent admiration worldwide REALLY!? that’s so fucking embarrassing 🤦🏽♀️ Your Historical and Cultural Amnesia is showing Philippines 🇵🇭) that should have been changed a long time ago after independence, the interests of the self serving manipulative powerful people will only go on to be a living reality UNLESS adequate quality Education for the common people by the people is happening on a National scale and one that encourages National fraternity among the citizens of a nation wether it’s a homogeneous or Multi-ethnic Nation
You said it yourself that your History lessons in school 🏫 are bad right? whatever it is for your country of origin, that problem has to be addressed by a Nation’s people to consolidate and preserve their own cultures to avoid Historical distortions by foreign and local propaganda
Bro as an Indian, I feel that you are way too OP. I remember studying history of my country and it felt like burden/useless subject because of the way textbooks are style/designed/written. But you made it really interesting, and I feel teachers could also use it to create a positive interest in the subject. I have a feeling buddy you will go a long way...... and best of luck buddy!!!
Thanks so much 🙏🏽
You felt burdened because the Central and most of the State boards have continued the British Colonial history and Bharat's history is extensively written in syllabus only about the events after 12th Century. It's like India existed before 12th Century and that's it.
We had just a glimse of Queen Lakshmibai's life story and just a little info on Maratha Empire that caused the downfall of Mughals by the end of 17th and 18th centuries.
Thanks to free flow of information now, I came to understand that the nonsensical AIT concept was also a Colonial British ploy used back in those days and still is taught in schools poisoning young minds, though there is no solid proof to prove AIT. The Britishers were replaced by Indian top Elite, that's it. The ways they followed to govern this diverse country have their origins from the Colonial times. It's only since from early 1990's that a new political thought and to unshackle ourselves from this mind control has started.
I'm glad that 1991 happened in Bharat's history!
Because it use british standard that think anything not european are inferior.
@@OddCompass consider making a video on indian maths and astronomy. Trust me you will be surprised to see just how much india has contributed to the world of maths and the influence it had on the arabic maths which was responsible for the intellectual re awakening of europe. Here are a few hindu mathematicians you might want to start with brahmagupta, aryabhat, madhava of Sangamagrama, Bhāskara I, Varāhamihira, and so many more. Another interesting topic worth making a video on could be the development of medicine in india. Most indians have this misconception that science, maths, rationality and medicine are purely european inventions whereas that certainly is not the case, not trying to disrespect or discredit european thinkers, i respect all those who have contributed towards the progress of mankind equally but unlike their european counter parts hindu intellectuals are barely known among the general public.

I love how you focus on the not-so-known history of India and Southeast Asia as well. I've always wondered about the cultural similarities between India and Southeast Asian countries (especially Thailand), and "now I know" why. :)
Haha, happy to help!
Thailand got Indian influence from Cambodia. The area already had Indian influence there before the Thai people immigrated to Southeast Asia from China.
Another Great Video 👏 Thanks from Tamilnadu, India
the moment I saw the notification, I knew I was gonna learn more about my Tamil people history, A history which has been neglected and many times tried to be deleted from the history, thanks to the channel for letting the people to know about the significance of South Indian Kingdoms keep it up guys
Aww 😊 that’s sad to hear because the more I know about both North and South India 🇮🇳 and their respective contributions to my country 🇵🇭, the more interested I am in studying 📖 their History and Cultures to better understand them
For example:
The Tagalog word “Puto” (ᜉ̰ᜆ̥) contrary to first assumptions did NOT come from the Spanish “puto-asshole” even though I am not denying their legacy but rather it came from the Tamil word “Puttu-a kind of Rice cake 🧁 🍚” mind you, there’s regional varieties of the same dessert 🧁 🍨 🍮 in SEAsia under different names
@@alsuvarnadvipadanargentum1743 rice puttu and raagi puttu delicious....
@@udhayakumarMN
There’s another Indian dessert that I’ve seen (that also reminds me of Tagalog Puto) other than Tamil Puttu of Kerala that makes my mouth 👄 watery whenever I think about it, I forgot it’s name but I remember what it looked like (this dessert 🧁 🍚 is located in West Bengal)
Bruh if you think south indian history is neglected then try east indian or north east indian history.
@@alsuvarnadvipadanargentum1743 yes, Indian cuisine has had influences on Filipino cuisine. And many other influences, like establishing the rajahnate of Cebu by a half Indian king, Buddhism and Hinduism being the dominant religion (mixed with folk religion of the Phillipines) before the Spanish came( you can find many archeological proofs for it especially in Mindanao and other souther parts of Phillipines). Also many words in different languages of Phillipines are from sanskrit: rajah, guro(guru in sanskrit), dukha, mukha(I was surprised to hear this from a Filipina! And then I researched why her language had the same word as Indian languages and I came to know about all this history), etc. There are many other words but it would make this comment too long haha
So you're telling me that ever since ancient times, Everyyyyboday wanted to suck on the warm teat of the Chinese market?

I respect Tamils. They're a hard working race of people (If you can call them a "race") and they're a skilled people with diverse careers. I don't own a business. I don't. But if I did I would hire at least one Tamil.

@@sol90981 He is Indian-American(Odd Compass)
As a Filipino, I can attest to Indian influences being the next cultural strata on top of our indigenous base. From governance, words, food, writing, to religious concepts, Indian cultural elements are the oldest import that has stayed. An important channel for this cultural transmission was the Malay Peninsula and the islands of Indonesia.
The Supreme God of the Tagalog people is Bathala, from "Bhattara Guru", while we have words like "budhî" (conscience), "dukhâ" (poor), "sampalataya" (faith, belief), "mahál" (dear, costly, expensive, highest), "puto" (a rice cake from the word "puttu"), "Talà" (star, also a Tagalog and Kapampangan star goddess), "diwata" (deity, from "devata"), "raja" (king or chief), "gadya" (elephant), "laksâ" (myriad/10,000, from "lakh"), and "basa" (read, from "vac", meaning speech). The Ramayana also has several versions here, its most famous expression being the Singkíl dance of the Islamised Maranaw people.
It's a very fascinating origin of many things we often take for granted or easily miss. From there, we absorbed Chinese and Arab influences, before the Spaniards arrived in 1521 to begin our long period of colonisation by western nations.
The way I see it, Medieval India is to Asia as Italy was to Medieval Europe.
Inherited a cultural legacy from a once-unified empire, now composed of multiple states; is itself an important hub of culture, science & religion exporting these to the rest of Asia; more interested in trade & cultural exchange than territorial hegemony.
India's contribution to SEA cultural identity is as much if not more than China's
Oh India's cultural imprint on SEA definitely way more than China.
Fantastic analogy
SEA is definitely WAY more indianized than sinonized (is that even a word?). You can clearly see it in their architecture, religion, language and even the names of the empires and people. Although there was more Chinese influence along Vietnam and Burma though.
@@balashibuyeeter2704 Sinicized is the word I think

If Indonesia 🇮🇩 has plenty of major and minor Mandalas, who’s to say that it’s northern neighbor doesn’t?
In fact Philippines 🇵🇭 also has plentiful Mandalas too with “changing boarders” reflecting a Mandala’s sphere of influence because a Mandala is defined by it’s center, operating like our Solar System with the Sun 🌞 at the center and the 8-9 planets 🌏 🪐 surrounding the Sun and are moving in circles around the sun. Likewise, the planets that surround the sun are also the center of their own sphere with their respective moons 🌝 🌚 surrounding their planet’s and are also constantly moving in circles, the smaller the planet 🌏 the fewer the moons, but the bigger the planet 🪐 the more moons it has.
That is How a Mandala actually operates, influencing each other while maintaining their precious autonomy within it’s alliance network. Rulers of a Mandala often intermarry with other Mandalas that they are allied with to protect and sustain their own interests and ambitions in within their sphere of influence.
There’s plenty more but some of the more documented Indianized principalities are:
Lakanate of Tondo/Tundun in Luzon
Rajahnate of Cebu/Sugbu in Visayas
Rajahnate of Butuan/But-wan in Mindanao
There’s ancient works of gold that were recovered in Philippines 🇵🇭 too many of these works of gold shows familiarity with Hindu-Buddhist mythology syncretized with the indigenous mythologies

It’s very sad ODIA people especially Odia people forgot about their maritime history. In Odisha people in November December season they gather celebrate a festival in riversides called balijatra. From ancient times Odia people ( especially sadwa caste ). takes a journey in November when winds from north to south. They make a stop in srilanka for refilling food and water then wait winds from west to east and reach Bali and return journey to India in April may to Sri Lanka to Kalinga country South Indian favourite breakfast IDLY made its way from indoasia. Like Kerala puttu.
What made you arrive at that conclusion? Odias actually have festivals that celebrate their maritime past. Mangala, who originally seems to have been the goddess of voyages in this part of the world, is worshipped annually by the drawing of a ship on the wall and the recitation of an old poem centred around a family of seafaring merchants (sadhaba). And you already talked about Balijatra and the setting afloat of miniature boats on Kartika Purnima in remembrance of ancient mariners. Odias have certainly not forgotten about their maritime history.
The Chinese fishing nets in Kochi bears testimony of the tones when Chinese merchants visited Southern Kingdom for trade. I also heard that the Padmanabhaswami temple has coins minted in China probably from Song dynasty.
I’ve been waiting for you to cover this topic! You are the one CZcamsr I’ve wanted to cover this, since it’s so complex, and requires a deft touch and lots of research. Can’t wait for more videos on the maritime Silk Road from you!
I'm really glad to finally see you release another video! I hope you keep pushing out quality content like this
I dont even know why this video hasn't got hundreds of thousand of views till now, its been a month already! the content quality is super!
I belong from Odisha in India, there is a festival we celebrate called Bali Yatra which means "Travel to Bali". There were regular Naval Voyages from Kalinga ( now Odisha) to Bali in Indonesia.
Wonderful !! I love learning about these sorts of things in history. At school and other mainstream media, we just learn about Kings, Queens and wars. However, we should be learning about what the common man did and this video helps us understand the common mans role in trade, commerce and spread of culture. It would be lovely if you could eventually make a video about the history of the Indian economy. For example, the trade with the Roman and Arab Empires, the types of jobs people performed, the South Indian Trading Guilds, the Ship Manufacturing Industries of Gujarat and Bengal and the rise of Proto Industrialisation during the Mughal era.

Epic trolling
I'm happy you mentioned that Srivijaya was a Malay speaking empire and that Southeast Asian merchants were also active in exporting commodities to China as opposed to being passive recipients of Chinese and Indian influence. A lot of people understate the influence of Southeast Asia, itself, whenever we talk about the Maritime Silk Road. Most are unaware, for example, that Southeast Asians were the first people to develop a large Maritime trading network in the Indian ocean in the first place, with Indians and Chinese following suit. In fact Southeast Asians were the first people in the world to develop truly seaworthy watercraft at all, vessels that didn't merely sail along the coast but were capable of venturing across vast expanses of open ocean. It was Southeast Asians who introduced these seafaring technologies to India around 1000 BC - 600 BC and later to China around medieval times, enabling both to advance their own unique Maritime technologies/traditions. And of course, it was Southeast Asians who commanded the Spice Trade and controlled key trade routes like the Strait of Malacca. When Columbus set out to find a new route to the "Indies," he was referring to Southeast Asia as much as India.

It's bulshit , india gave south east Asia its seafaring abilities and ship building technology
Its unproven.
And Austronesians were no South East Asians.
Most of the southeast Asians were by-product of the intermingling of Indians and Chinese in ancient times.

So do you plan to cover all of the SEAsian countries 🇧🇳🇰🇭🇮🇩🇱🇦🇲🇾🇲🇲🇵🇭🇸🇬🇹🇭🇹🇱🇻🇳 at some point in the form of their many “Kingdoms-Mandalas”? You did cover the many reasons for the Downfall of the Malacca Sultanate 🇲🇾 what about covering some major and influential, medium but vital, and minor but self-sustaining Mandalas that are worth educating or informing the audience about?
To give you some ideas on Dynasties or “predecessor states”:
🇧🇳 Vijayapura or Po-ni
🇰🇭 Funan or Chenla
🇮🇩 Srvijaya or Majapahit (there’s plenty more to cover)

We still uses the Chinese fishing net mode of fishing called Cheena Vala(ചീന വല) in Malayalam. Also we still use Cheena chatti, cheena pattu and so on. I've also heard there is a Malayali muslim family somewhere in China who have migrated back in those days..
The Malabar coast was and still a melting pot of diversity. We have 2000 years old Aramaic Christian community(Aramaic is the liturgical language) called MarThoma Nasranis(Saint Thomas Christians) in Kerala, we have the Muhamedians short after his advent in Arabian Peninsula, we have Jewish settlement from 72AD to till the creation of Israel, and we have great hindu monk Shankaracharya who have set foot from here 8th century AD.

Kerala comes from the word Cera dynasty. also Sangam period literature documents history of Kerala and tamil nadu both as the language in which it is written was used in the southern most part
@Niranjan Sabu ohh, really😁
@Niranjan Sabu that's not true there are lot of Hindus in kerala than Muslims and Christians,what you might heard would be any kind of bad stereotypes
@Niranjan Sabu because most temples are not on main road whereas churches are mostly on main road and also churches are more in there but that doesn't mean the population of Christians and muslims are high there

I think it is important to note that while Song dynasty had proto-capitalist system, later dynasties starting with Yuan had aristocratic feudal system. Song accounted for more than 20% of world's GDP at the time, later dynasties were far behind.
It was richest Chinese empire too. With tang in second then qing and han
@@ShubhamMishrabro GDP does mean wealth
@@darkorodic638 huh?
@@ShubhamMishrabro The Song Dynasty was indeed very developed economically and invented many monetary systems such as paper money and so on. However, the biggest problem of the Song Dynasty was that its military was too weak. Therefore, the Song Dynasty is generally not considered as the golden age as the Tang Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty.

Love ur very informative videos. Keep up the good work. God bless
Amazing stuff. Keep it up. We realy dont have such quality content about india. Well researched.
Glad you liked it!
If India and China work seriously together on interstate commerce, it would create the BIGGEST market on Earth and in history. Too bad border issues and nationalism is making that dream very remote.
The main reason is expansionist mindset of china....they claim every land and sea as theirs
Weird that this video wasn't recommended when uploaded although I've watched all video on this channel. I had to remember the name and search. Good video and I wish Indian school history books had this content.
Well researched and executed way to go bro
Our education on Indian history is just limited to war and who faught who on what date and who won.
We really should be teaching a lot more about our maritine, trade, cultural exchange and so much more in history. It's essential a child to grow up understanding that our predecessors weren't just all soldier who were fighting all the time.
I would love to see if you could look into how trading has influenced cooking in different regions. I have recently found that a lot of similarities between how spices are handled in certain Chinese traditional cooking and some South Indian cooking. Another similarity is how steam cooking is very common in South Indian cooking just like in a lot of East Asian cultures
Great comment

Have you ever thought of making collaboration videos with CZcamsrs who are also interested in the same topics as you are?
Edit: cuz I felt too vague here
I mentioned to some people in the comments section as to WHO to approach on Quora (look at the answers content and their knowledge cuz NOT all are reliable) if anyone wants to learn more about Ancient Philippines 🇵🇭 (cuz I am still learning more like a student 👩🎓 and I am not a professional historian)

I also want to say this because I noticed that viewers pressure for more frequent videos can be too much for some people, for that requires a lot of planning to do
So It’s okay because I understand that:
Making quality content takes time, so the best way for you (content creator) to do that is for me (helpful viewer) to give you ideas for a future topic as a way of helping this channel even if I noticed that I am getting a bit naggy, hence why I said this because for some “businesses” quality pays more long term
Increase your engagement in the community tab. I'm sure you have many ideas and we'd like to know

Great Work as always 👍
This is a very best CZcams channel. Your text and graphics are both historically on point. You distinguished between the Song's clothing and the Yuan's clothing appropriately. You are educated and more importantly passionate in the discipline.
I think the very early monks like Lokakṣema (लोकक्षेम) during the Kushan-Han period and later on Kumārajīva (कुमारजीव) during the Gupta-Jin Period, the Maritime route was not that popular and we hardly hear of monks using the maritime route before the 6th-7th century.
On the side note, I highly appreciate the fact that you used the Indian cultural realm or civilization, while depicting India on the map rather than just the present day geo-political entity called India which becomes confusing when reading the primary sources of history. This way it encapsulates the view of how the outsiders perceived when visiting India during that period of history even if it was politically fragmented.
Commenting for the algorithm cuz videos are LIT
Liking and commenting to show support! Great work!
Great video!
personally my favorite bit of history: asian maritime trade :)) love ur content
Lovely video!
Great work brother, your videos are great because I always thought we are all lied about our Ancient history to establish the fake AIT nonsense as real, but your channel showed me that how much of our history is neglected even within the established history of India.
I feel so sad 😞 whenever I hear such news 📰 parts of history that are NEGLECTED for the self interests of the powerful people
As if hearing about-neglected history-from Indians themselves to their discontent about The Histories of South and Northeast India 🇮🇳 is already bad enough (looks like other countries have a similar problem as ours and it’s NOT a good thing, I also came to know one example from a Malaysian 🇲🇾 commenter on this channel that parts of their history are being neglected like the existence of the Langkasuka Kingdom, part of Malaysia’s Pre-Islamic History) not to make an insensitive comparison here, but I am only speaking from my experiences being born and raised in SEAsia-in a region that prioritizes producing cheap labor to export out of the country (why do you think we’re “everywhere” but not much good media coverage) instead of molding future responsible Citizens to contribute to nation building, point is my country 🇵🇭 had it WORSE when it comes to neglect of (Pre-colonial history) History subject in school 🏫 which basically goes like this in Elementary and High-school level:
•Fast forward with outdated details about Early human migrations and some basics like the Barangay unit--WITHOUT going into detail the many Kingdoms and recorded peoples that used to exist here, along side their foreign relations with nearby neighbors and faraway places who also contributed to the enrichment of Ancient Filipino culture and especially of their achievements like a lot of Gold-work used in everyday things, gold thread 🧵 weaving, jewelry (ritual, religious, ornamental), ceremonial weapons, sculptures made of Gold (Golden Tara of Agusan), strong maritime cultural tradition and a whole lot more--and of the balangays (small support boats for bigger ships) that were used to transport peoples and goods
•Some foggy 🌫 details about the Early 1521 and Late 1898 Spanish 🇪🇸 period and contributions with one sided POV for needless vivification, real thing is a lot more nuanced but they brought some good and bad (guess who wrote the History books 📚 from our “DepEd”)
•American Period Featuring Slightly more cherry picked details (while omitting the unsavory essentials) to highlight needless romanticization of USA 🇺🇸 with the real thing being a lot more nuanced but has wrought a lot more damage to the psyche of the “Filipino people” like indebting Filipino businesses, manpower, military and political needs to making Philippines 🇵🇭 develop an unhealthy dependency on USA 🇺🇸 like the “Bell Trade Act” in a series of unfair treaties and strings attached political machinations
And that is just some awful truths that have to come out because there’s more to be exposed
@@alsuvarnadvipadanargentum1743 Yep the Europeans fucked up the world history.
Glad to see a person from the present Dravidian state calling out the Colonial fake AIT nonsense.
Romba Nandri, Anna. With regards from a person in your neighbouring state.
no one says AIT is real lmao, AIT has been discarded by all historians worldwide, Now the prevalent theory is AMT.
One small nitpick though; The map for 3rd Century China looks more like the map for the Qin Dynasty than how it was in the 200s (mainly Gansu, and parts of Shaanxi and Yunnan are missing. You can check the map for Jin Dynasty (266-420) or map of the Three Kingdoms for reference). Not a huge deal though, just wanted to mention.
Many thanks. Odd compass for bringing this wonderful video. I'm from Kochi and we use Cheena Vala " Chinese Fishing nets", Cheena Chatti "Chinese vessels for cooking"... Much more. Thanks again
Is Cheena Chatti a kind of wok. In Indonesia wok is the most popular cooking ware here, we call it wajan.
@@faustinuskaryadi6610 Yes it's kind of a wok but not exactly like the Chinese ones a different version of it

Thank you for reading 📖 my comment that expresses my frustrations with the shitty Education system in Philippines 🇵🇭 I know this because I went through it; by further propagating the colonial narrative (of the 🇺🇸 92% consistent admiration worldwide REALLY!? that’s so fucking embarrassing 🤦🏽♀️ Your Historical and Cultural Amnesia is showing Philippines 🇵🇭) that should have been changed a long time ago after independence, the interests of the self serving manipulative powerful people (foreign or local) will only go on to be a living reality UNLESS adequate quality Education for the common people by the people is happening on a National scale and one that encourages National fraternity among the citizens of a nation wether it’s a homogeneous or Multi-ethnic Nation
You said it yourself that your History lessons in school 🏫 are bad right? whatever it is for your country of origin (insert random nation 🇲🇾 Here), that problem has to be addressed by a Nation’s people to consolidate and preserve their own cultures to avoid Historical distortions by foreign and local propaganda by being in touch with all aspects of one’s own history; nation

I didn't know we were so inter-connected in Asia. After the invasions and colonialism all this is almost forgotten in India.
It’s the same with many Asian countries that were colonized, (current shit education system in teaching History which goes for every country) until you look into your surroundings what school 🏫 hasn’t thought to all of us in Both material and immaterial manifestations of many older and newer cultural influences
I can't believe CZcams's notification system failed me this one time. How did i not see this sooner!? Fantastic work as usual.
A couple caveats / notes. Chinese influence in classical and middle ages did extend to northern Borneo and the Phillipines (Luzon and Ma-Yi, cognate to Manila perhaps). The Indic-Chinese split was likely around Manila though. In this mixing zone or area of cultural confluence, you get Indic scripts being written vertically to model after Sinic writing...
Also, from what I know, Chinese haijin / sea bans were only implemented in more recent history, so that would not have affected the lack of cultural influence.
Your map was very cool. It would have been cool for you to show the tea-horse route more figuratively though. It;s a fascinating part of the overland silkroad. Also, the source of mace and cloves have always been connected to the maritime silk road, but are in a very obscure part of the Southeast Asia that is never represented in these kinds of map infographics :(
And while you're on the topic of maritime trade routes, I hope one day you talk about the Makassar Contact with Australia! The literature around this topic keeps growing and now there's tons of information online available for you to gloss.
Hey bud! Thanks for the additional context and info. And sorry for not using your map for this video! I ran into delays/production inefficiencies, and went with something familiar.
I believe the Chinese bans were in effect during short periods in the Tang, Song, and Ming - I’ll have to reference my sources for confirmation. Regarding the earlier years, however, it was more so that the trade was simply dominated by SE Asian, Indian, and Arab merchants.
@@OddCompass No worries! I'm feeling the crunch too. Im just happy you got to posting more cool content :)
