“Made mountain out of it…” NSA Ajit Doval busts myths around victories of ‘Alexander The Great’

- National Security Advisor Ajit Doval on April 09 downplayed ruler the conquers of ‘Alexander the Great’ and said that it was a small event in history but the Western historian made a mountain out of it.
"There are a few questions about Indian history that nobody questions, even our detectives. One is its antiquity; it is one of the oldest civilizations. The second is continuity, that is if it started 4000-5000 years before BC, it has been continuous till today, and there is no disruption in that. The third is its vast expanse...When you think of this expanse of 6000-8000 years, of continuous history in such a vast area, the narrative that has been brought is that probably the first chapter about Indian history starts with Alexander, that Alexander was the first who discovered India and it was the victory of the West over the East. Actually, he only came to the border of India into Jhelum and then probably was not able to proceed further, and thereafter, that was the end of him...Justice William Jones of Calcutta High Court, from 1746 to 1792, had said that nowhere in any Sanskrit, Pali, or Prakrit literature or the local dialects, I could find any mention of Alexander. There is no mention...It was a very small event in history… But you made such a big mountain of it as if the world history has changed with Alexander the great conqueror,” said Ajit Doval.

It’s time for Indians to change the slaves mind set and take pride in their culture and history.
Forget what Western, left and Islamic historian had written in past.
Hahhaha goood one yhi jhoota self pride k sath kbtk ji skte ha and above that is india was vast upto jhelum only ???😮 😮😮 Il

@@user-om6hu7unnddddaur ye west ke jhute aur propaganda history ko kab tak sach mante phiro ge 😢 . Ye apne aap ko superior show karne ke liye ye apne hisab se history ko hame padhaya hai , colonial mindset se nikalo aur Jo sach hai hame use samne lana chaiye.
most of the history that study in india are taken from book of British historian who used to work for British Monarch .
@@user-om6hu7unndddd . What is your problem , Jihadi ?
Yeah Westerns were barbarians.
Western propaganda never gone defeat bharat status😊.
They deliberately wanted to destroy institutions like Nalanda, Takhsila, libraries and ancient scriptures ! We need to understand their intentions 😢😢😢😢
The West glorified their village chieftains and played down nay obliterated Indian Heroic Kings. Their double standards show up now. They would not have won the World Wars without Indians. The Looters who gave no shame to retain Indias wealth.
India has allowed that to happen pre independence and post independence. By now, its Indian mindset that has allowed it and it would be India that would course correct
I don't think what's the problem with west glorifying their history and their kings that's what they should rather being jealous of it we should not care about it but some people has to always put west in everything and then they will say stop caring about west
West will mock u .. but it's future of world... Santana will rule the world..
😂😂😂😂
every relegion has past its prime. and its evolution for you
Santana? 😆😆
@@MS-Hussainbuslim is laughing?

I am glad. I can now imagine the kind of debates Doval saab, Jaishankar, Modiji and Shah are likely to have. This sense of history is heartening
Alexander has been propped up by Western historians as a conqueror. There are some biographies about him but little to no archaeological proof of his extensive rule. Not denying he may have come to India, but winning the battle is a serious stretch of imagination considering the vast harsh lands he had to cross and he was injured after his previous battles. The countries he conquered slipped out of his grasp. But for example, if we talk about Ashoka's rule, there is much evidence of his extensive empire in the form of edicts, pillars and the stupas he built.
May not have huge impact in indian history but had obvious impact on Egyptian and Iranian history.
Shri Ajit Doval ji mentioned regarding the history of Metallurgy. I wish to say that our research wok Archaeometallurgy of India from Rigveda to Valmiki Ramyayana is recently published as a book by IITRoorkee. The metal evidence retrieved from the heritage texts revealed that the Vedic Civilization was far more ancient than the Indus Valley Civilzation.
Lions have woke up from centuries of slumber to roar the truth 🔥
Bollywood further made sure to spread myth about Alexander through songs like Muqaddar ka Sikander
Very true Sir. Their game has been exposed.
Yes
There should be a revolution
Takshashila University was very near to place where the so called Alexander the great invaded bt even Takshashila professors didn't even bother to note it down as one of the imp incident that took in our history it's as if there's ntng much worth to be written abt this guy called Alexander & his invasion.....
Bakhtiyar khilji and muhammed bin tuglaq's army was destroyed in assam but its manipulated as lost in tibet in our history books
Converts of Indian subcontinent proudly name themselves as Sikandar(Alexander) proudly, as if they were descendent of that defeated invaders.
Muslims do it and Sikander was not even monotheist, let alone a muslim.

Till now, we read "made-believe history" that led to low morale and confidence in us.
This is the reason why people called Ajit Doval Sir and Major Gaurav Arya Sir as "FATHER OF PAKISTAN " because of there Chanakya Nite
Avg. Pakistani: mere do do baap.. mere do do baap....
No doubt, Alexander was courageous, but fact is that he never won india, he just conquer Pakistan, so its wrong to say he conquer india, even there is no proof that he win against porus.
Pakistan didn't get support of india, and that's why they had to surrender to alexender.
Or else, alexender wouldn't be able to enter Indian subcontinent.

Basically Alexander was insignificant in that time of Bharat .🎉
After concuring world suddenly alexander change his mind and left bharat...?
Actually alexander ko acche se pela tha king PURU ne..bhag gaya tha alexander...lekin distorian ne ulta history serve kya hum logo ko🤬

Greek and Roman alike exaggerates things often like Chinese emperors calling themselves the seer from heaven😂..
They successfully destroyed every Cartheginians record made baal evil satan and the Cartheginians as satan worshippers..
Ironically everyone knows how much Romans hated the Cartheginians coz they were both the rivals in sea trade which was excelled by the Cartheginians making the romans feel insecure.
The thing is greek records have often overrated their acievments to the point they will often make the records look like enemies were super strong with huge army and Greeks just one with a small troop, and it is also proven in many historical studies, it was done to motivate the greek soldiers.
Bharat in ancient times was very much the centre of world order and very valuable, to the point greeks also had a lot of mythical records based on their fantasies about our land which can be seen in records of megasthenis and others.
Rest it is very much true that Alexander did conquer some western kingdoms of Bharat but they were overrated coz they were weak kingdoms, following that came the Indo-Greek kingdoms(established by his generals) around these regions, eastern Iran and southern Afghanistan. Basically Alexander's feat was not that great as he mainly only conquered weak kingdoms around Sindhu river, Porus was probably his greater adversary but he was not one of the strongest kings in Bhartiya standards he was strong only for Alexander so you understand, his avrg army couldn't even afford proper leather armour, while metal plate armours were pretty common in Bharat used by strong kingdoms. This didn't make much impact on history of Bharat as even the indo-greeks would later completely converge into the Bhartiya population and culture.
Lastly i beleive the Greeks have probably knowingly overrated the porus army by talking about them having a very large army, as i mentioned above greeks usually did this to give motivation to other greek soldiers that their ancestors fought by 1 against 100 enemies.
Alexander is credited to conquer the whole "known world" but that is from greek perspective, as even greeks didn't know about majority of Bharat, they only knew about Sindhu region and Tamilkam region(via sea trades), much to say the known world from Bharat's perspective was much wider as we knew as far as greeks and egyptians in west to China-Java in east.
For greeks it was a great victory for they conquered a section of Bharat, for Bhartis it was just an avrg western invader(like iranis) who conqiering weak buffer kingdoms.
greek mythology like iliad and oddesey are copy of ramayan mahabharat, their philosophy copied partially from upanishads.
Alexander couldn't invade Bharat cause his men got humiliated in the Northwest. He almost died after a Malli put his spear into his chest. He wanted to fight the mighty Nanda Empire but his men begged him and told him to turn back. If he fought the Nanda Empire, that would've been the end of his fake Greatness. The Mauryan Empire humiliated his General Seleucus when he tried to invade Bharat with 300,000 Soldiers.
We in India go by Greek historians version that Alexander won the war but reality is Alexander lost to MAHAAN Raja Pushottam Sabarwal Khatri ( Kshatriya) nickname PURU and Greek historians have written him as PORUS in Greek language script and Alexander loosing Army went back using old silk route Deepalpur Multan Tehran and he died at Babylon city of Mesopotamia today's Iraq 🇮🇶 as they used old silk route because they don't want to cross river Sindhu ( Indus ) in monsoon season and basic reason for Alexander defeat was they had soft metal Copper Bronze weaponry and MAHAAN Raja Pushottam Sabarwal army had hard Iron Steel metal weaponry because at that time Indian subcontinent had very advanced metallurgy technology .
Sir, if you are serious that the Indian history should be reassessed, then you first have to scrap the system of " Supervisors" in the Ph.D system in Indian Universities Because these " Supervisors/ Guides" are the choke points, who do not permit the conscientious scholar any chance to reseach and rewrite Indian history. Supervisors are only for those Ph.D students who have the mentality of a graduate willing to be led by the nose.
So true! I completely agree with you 💯
On the name of secularism The congress Party has cause such a injury to the country which cannot be forgiven.
I had seen on discovery channel that alexander was terrified and ran away after seeing elephant army of India and westerners are showing this. we Indians are showing that he won and gave pardon to Porush.
All Alexander allies' kingdom came under Porush after war.what type of pardon it was that he gave all his friends' kingdom to Porush?
Its clear Alxender and his allies all lost the battle and their kingdom was occupied by Porush or Porus.
Greeks falsely glorify their king and so the mughal favouring pseudo historians.
💯
Discovery channel is not a certifying or authorizing source/organization. Besides it is another media house for spreading western thoughts/interest/ propaganda just like BBC.
First thing comes first, WE need to stop using the word India. Lets go back to our own "BHARAT".
जय भारत
Who said history of India starts with Alexander? Before him, there was Bimbisara, Ajatshatru in Magadh, the kingdoms of Takshashila, and Tamil kingdoms of Silappadikaram era. Janpad and Mahajanpad already matured. Panini already wrote Sanskrit grammar, Tolkaapiyam already written in Tamil.
I grew up in the West..... And when Alexander was discussed in history, I recall the study material stating that he conquered India...... And this is what I believed for a good 20 years in England
Glad to know that the NSA is not only an expert in National Security but a history scholar with all appropriate credentials and experience to nullify whatever historians in past have documented or explained.
yes, he is a part-time PhD in history 😅
acha iska matlab jisne phd nhi ki woh dusro k sources ko quote bhi nhi kr skta, chomu? Itna modi se hate mat kro ki country se hate krne lag jao. Agar dam h toh Gujarat m jo dna k evidence resources mile h use nullify kro, liberandu.
Finally someone said It !
Actually Alexander lost the battle and got badly injured and he decided to return back to Greece and died soon after. But they preached they won the war. At that time there was no phones....no facebook and Whats app....😂😂😂
The earlier political rulers made us believe we were insignificant , we meant nothing in global stage. Now, the more we learn we get stronger and really understand how they were just a franchise of our enemies.
It is very well true that Alexander never defeated Porus.We have been taught wrong history by Congress Party education ministers after independence.
Some random Alexander came and got beaten black and blue.... ran away.
😂😂
ALEXANDER came to the border Satrapy of Persian Empire ie Punjab.. hearing the mightiness of the armies of India and Nanda Empire ,he returned back. He didn't gather courage to enter India. Books of historians of Alexander just speak of victories in Punjab Satrapy of Persia but not the fears loomed in Macedonian army of Toughness of Ganga civilization and It's war machinery..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very well explained 👏🏻👏🏻 very informative
Dovalji, people will hate you if you speak the truth.
Well good thing is there are more and more people to hate. So while hater spend their hate truth is becoming more powerful.
RC Majumder should be made mainstream again.
Sir please change the textbooks history right from primary school
why Bhaktiyar kilji junction railway station near Nalanda in Bihar. It should be Nalanda junction.
Fun fact: They never found a tomb for so called a great emperor 'Alexander'...another proof of the myth & lies...
It was probably destroyed by arabs.
But since you mention it, why would alexander be 'buried' ? Ancient greeks used to cremate the bodies not bury.
@@udithAgreed 💯.. Burials and Tombs only came with Abrahamic religions.. Though I agree that Alexander was hyped too much.. He was a good warrior.. But couldnt win in India and returned back due to injuries and succumbed..
Alexander was made great by West, as they had No European/caucasian leader who can be Projected as great emperor, superior to all.
Another interesting part, After the war between Alexander and Porus, (whatever the outcome was) ..Alexander gave more territory to Porus, these territories were of Alexander’s ally (Ambhi king), is it not funny ? Like at the end of WW2 US is so impressed with Germany that they give parts of UK to Germany 🤣
Good one
Even the accounts from Alexander's own historians speaks highly of India and its rulers. Many of the Greeks even stayed back in India after Alexander died and their love affair with India continued for many centuries.
So Jinnah was right when he said that Hindu and Muslims are two nations because our Heroes are their villains and their heroes are our villains
The majority of buslims of the subcontinent are ethnically the same as Hindus. It's just that their software has been corrupted by i-slam
Well in a way yes, Muslims were the outsiders, they converted Hindus and other native people of India.
Within three years of Alexander reaching India whole Greek community melted in Indian society, they accepted Indian culture, language & customs, had cross marriages and absorbed in India society within three generations.
This was unlike shantidoots who after 1100 years still a foreign subject.
The Alexander or Greek warriors were honourable enemies unlike maleechs
You mean the culture of Khap Panchayats?
"Malechhas" are those who do not know Sanskrit. Even Alexander was considered a "Malechha".

Reality is that Alexander is a fake story... he never conquered India let enough even get near it. Meanwhile Marathas defeated and won Delhi twice but get no mention. Stake your claim... Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!
How is Alexander a fake story? No historian claimed that he captured India!! He defeated Porus in a closely-fought battle and returned. Thats all. The Marathas get a special mention in all history books - but the problem was the division within their own ranks. Too many powerful chieftains - we all know how the third battle of Panipat was lost. One should always be patriotic, but not blinded by facts,

Also how you create impact, because little details matters.
When ever I see other places related to civilisation or historical places they are neat, clean, everything is organised, visitors of that country don’t create noise, there are proper way how to go their, no stray animal wonders there, management is good, people are not sleeping there or eating and throwing wrappers everywhere, and guide give actual and very important info that a person can understand and remember easily, all these things matter because you create image of places you visit.
This is why when world visit other civilisation or historical places they have good memory that is not the case with us
sirf historicl places ko acha bnaka kuch ni hoga huma pahla khud apni history khud pdhny pdagy koi cbse wgara nhi pdhana wala ya sbsa jada important agr 1.4 billion people apni history ko janta hoga to wo apna ap humara jriya falagy or huma bhi unki importance pta chlagy

Alexander's invasion was not a major event in itself but it brought Greek colonization into Western India who stayed for about 100-200 Gregorian years.
They were a huge pain for the local Indian population at that time just like British.

Wow nice Ajit ji... 👌
Watch Alexender (*"ENGLISH"*) movie !!
How Porus defeated Alexender
doval...finally telling truth out loud...🙏
The same question comes to mu mind every time when i read about Alexander
The whole chronology of Indian history has been messed up by Classical historians of colonial era.
Sandrakottus is Emperor Samduragupta.
Only his chronicle - Prayag Prasasthi has details of defeating a 'Devputra Shao Shahanusah' - 'Son of God , King of Kings' identifiable with Alexander since he was heralded a Son of God in Greece itself and by conquering Persia and Egypt - he became King of Kings.
Alexander , as conqueror of Persia had got under his control, the 20th Satrapy of Persia , which was the North West of India . North West of India , was captured by Pahlav Darayabahu , Darius 1 in an earlier conquest by defeating the regining Sakas (Scythians) of that region .
Alexander fell ill after fighting the Paura king at the borders of 20th Satrapy , as he lost his Ashvamedha horse 'Bucephalus' in the same battle .He left his soldiers under General Nikator and left.
Emperor Samduragupta after consolidating power over entire North India drove Alexander's forces away from the entire North West of India , thereby defeating the domain of 'Son of God, King of Kings' Alexander's army and General .
But our colonial historians identify Sandrakottus with Chandragupta Maurya but has no account of Chanakya in the Western chronicles. Chanakya did not exist when Alexander came - it was Gupta Era.
Colonial historians also identify 'Devaputra Shao Shaonano' with some Kushan Kider king - like really ? When were the Kushans Persians ever or had captured Persia ?
Also modern archeological findings in China , 'bamboo scrolls' dates Kushan King Kanishka , ruler of Uttar Kuru ,at 11th Century BCE not 1st Century AD.
Our Puranic king list is original , Al Beruni dated end of Gupta era at 320 AD.
History need to be revised.
Alexander lost to Porus his armies divided and came back from longer route to make it seem they won, Porus must likely spared Alexander or killed him in battle as Alexander never returned alive. It is said he died of malaria.
Even Legendary Russian Field Marshall Georgy Zhukov doubted this claim. Also in Indian texts there is no mention of Alexander, Porus anywhere. There is Chanakya , Magadha , Chandragupta only
