- In 326 BC, Alexander’s commander of return fleet, Nearchus, had noted Sugarcane with awe as a reed that exudes “honey without bees”. In this video, we discover the earliest use of Sugarcane to make Sugar in the world - in India, a 1000 years before Arab World and 1500 years before Europe. The consumption of Sugar in various forms including the continuous un-interrupted living tradition of Mithai and Sweet Food Items for the past 2500 years or more is unmatched in the World. Laddu,Malpua, Khaja, Shrikhand, Payasa, and many more such Mithai are consumed today as they were two millennia or more back - a phenomenon unknown to most countries of the World, making each Mithai Shop a “Living Museum”.

Interesting. This means sugarcane is also an ancient Indian crop like lentils.
Indeed Sir. Though Sugarcane is said to have come up first in Papua New Guinea, it is in India that it was first domesticated and exploited for making sugar. And that happened around 3000 years back. Sangam Literature, Jain Works, Vedic literature all point towards that timeline.
वाह! आज फिर महसूस हुआ कि हम भारतीय होने पर गर्व क्यों करते हैं।
One of the best God knows how I started listening to this wonderful knowledge, I am very grateful to you all .please let me know how I can listen to this. Every day.
Sometimes youtube recommendations do miracles
Being a history student I'm very much impressed with your deep knowledge of such subject.
Just one 1 minute into video .... and I was like WOW, Simply WOW 👌💐
🤙👌🙏 proud to be an Indian, amazing work, keep it up.
It opened my eyes into ancient Indian history. I was wondering abouts sweets in absence of refined sugar in ancient India.
Now I know why eat sweets all the time, a great presentation. Keep up the good work.NY.USA.
Your entire series is absolutely brilliant. I am a First Generation South African of Indian Origin. I speak Hindi, Urdu and Tamil. However, most South African Indians no longer speak any Indian Language. So your hard work is lost in translation as a result of the fact that you do not have subtitles. Most of my non-Indian friends also would find your work very engaging, but I sat interpreting your first episode for them. far too much hard work. Please subtitle your work so that I can share it more widely.
Well you can checkout another channel which goes by the name Abhijit Chavda. Every weekend he does his podcasts( in English language ). And has educated thousands of youngsters about the real history of our Bhārata. He has also uploaded many small clips on his channel , you can check them out as well if podcasts will be a bit long for you. There're many such channels based on Bhārata's history that make videos in English which you can checkout. Project Shivoham is another channel. I hope it helps.
प्रणाम 🙏
In Maharashtra give pure sugar cane juice 🥤 freshly squeeze little lemon / lime juice, can add little Sunth ( dry ginger powder ) in it, wow tast so good. Great 👍 Information n nice video. Thanks 🙏.
I received very important answer to my question, which nobody knew till today.
5 Amrit ( Panchamrut), that are Ghee, Milk, Yogurt, Honey and Sharkara ( Sugar ) in puja Vidhi. I was wondering how in ancient rituals included Sharkara, when Sugar Technology was NOT developed during ancient period of thousands of years old. Thank you, for the answer.
Pl let me know the name of author
Name of author pl?
very "sweet" documentary. So many sweets from ancient text, will have to see it 5 times to remember some of them. Thank you sir.
About time youtube suggested something of relevance. Kudos to you sir 🙏
Always find your research mesmerizing!👍keep up the good work!
Thank you for enlightening us about our ancient culinary history. Your knowledge and narration is awesome
WOW, I am so amazed to hear all these Food-related anecdotes from history, That is why Bharat is called the ancient civilization which is still alive.
Indus valley civilization is milestone in understanding the earlier, contemporary and upcomming human cultures. There should be appropriate identification of periods for any human culture in context of indus valley periods and cultural practices.
बहोत बडीया सर भारत इतिहास बहोत ही महान है लेकीन इंग्रज ने छुपाने काम कीया बाद मे काले अंग्रजोने तो इसपर कलश चढवाया है आप बहोत बाढीया काम कर रहे हो
My Great Grand mother gave us whole family a 'Maandaa' party with aamras last year.
I thought it to be an mughal era recipe didn't knew the fact its much much more older.
Any sweet shop in india is a living museum of millennia old living traditions.
Thank you very much for this series because we forgot our values. It was very much needful to know our golden history which is covered by english government
Sir please continue these series 🙏 🙏 it's very informative 😊
We are glad that you find it interesting. Thank you for watching the video and your comments. We will surely continue.
I am so glad I found this channel..!!😍😍
Amazing India. Thank You sir for sharing such a wonderful knowledge 🙏
Amazing.... How can you remember all this things with all this name n talking constantly.. this compilation is mind-blowing... It is a treat by it self.. 🙏🙏😊😁
Great work Sir ... a separate subject " indology " which elaborates contribution of India to world shud be included in school books.
exactly what NCERT is missing ... kids are missing out on all this knowledge which will boost their confidence
Your work is more appropriate... sir 🙏 but yes I want to suggest you that you will get more recipes n Krutannavarga in Ancient Ayurvedic texts.. m a Ayurvedic doctor .. you have to read Carak samhita sushrut samhita and Sharangdhar samhita also ashtang hriday and sang rah.... you can quote those too in your reference..
n yes plz make a interesting video about Ayurvedic science, our medicines and surgery too...
The video is quite nice but the time span that you have given of rigveda is clearly wrong. Rigveda describes a time before at least 3500 BCE. The reference of that comes from the time when the river saraswati was a mighty river. The recent geological studies of the river bed suggest that after 3500 BCE saraswati lost her might and after 2000 BCE completely vanished.
Actually in Sangam talks Rig veda is scientifically proven to be nearly 17000 years old.
आपको इस प्रकार के videos के लिए साधुवाद, हिन्दी के प्रयोग के लिए साधुवाद।
यह सत्य ही है "यहां प्रथम मानव ने खोले निंदियारे लोचन अपने......"
Very interesting information. In Maharashtra, banana pulp with milk plus sugar or good is known as shikran or shikarni.
Indian food is vast and diverse.
I believe Shikarni is not shrikand as the author refers to. As you said Sihikarni is mixing of Banana pulp with sugar and milk. Or Mixing Mango pulp with sugar or jaggery and milk.
These North Indians don't understand the nitty gritties of South Languages.
The way of ur explaining makes me see all the videos at once sir ,Very well explained 😊
As per dating by Nilesh Oak, Ramayan happened 13000 years before and Ikshwaku dynasty existed for 70000 years so the sugar existed not for 3000 but 70000 years in India.
Your dates are from WhatsApp university. Agriculture and human settlements started only 12000 years ago. All world history and Indian history cannot be more than 12000 year old.
Amazing, outstanding and speechless to know this info About INDIA
First day of 2022 and youtube recommended your video...i am loving it
Best work till date on history of India encompassing each and every dimensions of Dharmic life of Ancient India. Lots of love, respect and support from Gujarat
Very well researched and very nicely narrated. Thanks
Great effort to highlight our rich history and culture, it's much meaningful to listen this instead of today's senseless gossips going around.
👍 Explained with whole heart!!
This is mind blowing research. Highlights that we should understand and follow our culture. It is already very rich.
A mithai shop is a veritable museum of continuous living traditions.
@@trystwithhistory8480 yesssss
Very interesting and informative, Sir.
One of the Greatest Video on CZcams ........
Thank you Sir! Wonderful series. Athirasam is still eaten in TN. It is a must sweet during weddings.
This is a world class content. ✌👏
Very nice presentation 👍 worth to watch it. Thank You for your wonderful service to oldest only servivied civilization.
Such a sweet story. And as per your instructions a few comments...
1. You have mentioned Mandaka as a flat bread with sweet lentil stuffings. It appears to be the same as Poli of southern states as mentioned by you later. It is invariably the starter to fall on your plate at any South Indian celebratory feast.
2. I have eaten Phalsa (the same name) in Bengal as a child. It is slightly hairy and 4-6 mm. and round with off green to black colour and Sweet & Sour. Sadly, such a nice thing is out of fashion now.
3. Palmyra Palm candy is not exclusive to South India. It has been made in the villages of Bengal every winter, for ages. It is still available in Calcutta in bottles under the brand name 'Dulaler Taal Michiri'.
4. The same Athirasam of South India is compulsorily made in Bengal during Paush Sankranti (15th Jan?). It is made of rice powder, slight jaggery, fried and then glazed with sugar syrup. In Bengal it is know as Aishey.
5. The sequence of meal as described by you is very popularly used even till date in Bengal in the original Sanskrit form. It is 'Charbya, Choshya, Lehya, Peya' respectively, to be chewn, to be sucked at, to be licked and to be drunk.
I feel sad that the usage of Til Tel which very good for health has diminished drastically.
Sir, your comment is a delightful learning for us. We will research on this. While working on this video we often felt that each Indian region has terrific culinary history. Bengal undoubtedly stands Supreme. Many many thanks.
Wow..!! I am so intrigued by Bengali-Cuisine now. There should be an independent episode on it. 😊😊
Very nice information brother
That's is because the Bengal came in contact with south Indian especially Karnataka culture due to the arrival of Sena Dynasty and Karnatas of Mithila. That is how the cuisine of Bengal intermingled with the Karnataka food traditions. Read the history of above mentioned dynasties and you will be amazed to know that Bengalis and Kannadigas have inherited a really glorious heritage.
Off the topic but I think we have divided ourselves only recently as South Indian etc. If you look deeply into all the languages, they are only but dialects. We don't understand the same word spoken by each other as they are uttered so differently i.e. dialect. :)
King Someshwara of the Chalukya Dynasty has without doubt documented the culinary glory of Kannada culture in all its glory. Really proud of my heritage.
You narrate very well to make us enlightened. Keep adding new contents.
For history students , this channel provides very good and helpful information....thank u so much 🙏🙏
Just chanced upon your first episode! Very informative, enlightening and makes one proud of our glorious past. Great job.
Hats off. No dought you have great knowledge on encient history. And it proves, India was the pioneer of art,calture, education, civilization, everything, which gradually spread throughout the world.
Very very nice voice and presentation of bharatiya culture .. please keep it up 🚩
Sir.. I have become your great fan, really finding it mesmarizing how deep and rich research you have put in to extract these priceless information thank u sir. Want to see more of these in future.
Very interesting. I am a teacher and take great pride in sharing information with students. The way I narrate it, students really enjoy. You have given more masala/facts. Really great information. In which of your videos, you have spoken about pepper. When Vasco came, he went crazy seeing pepper and it's cost.
Very interesting narrative in Hindi and English which blends beautifully.
Well researched

Sir, thank you for sharing your emmence knowledge on ancient Indian information. I was desperately looking for such channels. Wish more people study this and bring us the information.
Namaskar, thank you, it must have taken a load of time n research to make this episode.
Very gratefull for providing references of your research in the description 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent information about history of sweet dishes in India and relationship with other countries.
This channel deserves a lot more viewership.
Sir, really interesting videos. The way you have brought together different pearl of history put them in a thread to narrate a story on sugar is unmatched. Please keep putting more such content and keep educating us.
Nice information. India was leader in history in every field.
India was also leader in getting enslaved again and again because of its inherent divisive social fabric.
Dear sir , I am A. Jain. You are absolutely right about Tirthanker Rishabh dev ji. But I want to correct you one thing that Jains have 24 Tirthankers and Rishabhdev ji was 1st and Mahaveer swami ji is 24th Tirthanker. Mahaveer ji's Nirwan was around 2500 years back and Rishabhdev ji's Nirwan was way way back . I don't know exact but lakh's of years before Mahaveer bhagwan. Regards
In Haryana in villages on festive occasions like marriage etc, people start a meal with ladoo n barfi n finish with kheer..
Really awesome! your videos are a sweet and wonderful addition.
