Kharavela and the Revenge of Kalinga
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 11. 2021
- Kalinga, once part of the Mauryan Empire, was one of the many states that emerged after the decline of the Mauryan Empire. The rise of Kalinga that happened in this period, is mostly known through an inscription that was found in a cave which is situated some three miles away from the city of Bhubaneswar. This inscription called the Hathigumpha inscription was commissioned by someone called Kharavela. This inscription provides us insight into the history of Kalinga and about the reign of Kharavela. In this video, I talk about this inscription and the history of Kalinga.

Bande Kalinga, Bande Kharabela
I will repeat the history of Kharabela & bring the golden era of my Kalinga again 💯💯
Sure bro. And, *please promote Jainism,* just like how King Kharavela did, during his rule in Kalinga !
@@samayasarjain4559 don't worry we will protect the jain culture that politicians are neglecting.

Who is the Ashoka of your story bro
@@dhruveshsureshrathi8462 King Samprati Maurya
Kalingas were used to have finest maritime History..to commemorate this in Odisha every year Bali Jatra festival is observed... Bali is a province of Indonesia👍
What saddening is even after 70years of independence odisha failed to establish trade with southeast Asia again like odisha had in past..odisha without promoting maritime dominance and factories which will make finished product from raw material.. odisha cannot develope without it..odisha need to be the manufacturing hub of india
We too as Sikhs share a common bond with ODISSA as one of the first SIKH PANJ PYARRAS the chosen ones who were baptized in ANNANDPUR SAHIB
HE WAS BHAI HIMMAT RAI from ORRISA and his mother tongue was ORRIA . He spoke in his mother tongue till his MARTYRDOM. PROUD OF THE ODDISA CONTRIBUTION TO THE KHALSA PANTH.
SALUTATIONS
Also Guru Nanak visited Puri when he was a Hindu and worshipped Lord Jagannatha. He established a mixed Hindu-Sikh math here, called Mangu matha.
*Odisha, *Odia
modern sikhism was created by brits to use punjabis as war coolies.
sikhi looked totally different before the british invasion of punjab
@@yetigumbaBrits are the intellectual reason behind Khalistan
King Kharabela was the most Successful king in the history of Odisha. As an Odia I have a massive respect for him.
History of entire India
Yes, and *Kharavela was a JAIN King !*
@@samayasarjain4559 i dont think so in that inscription he also does Rajsuya Yagna although he starts inscription by णमोक्कार But he also exempts Brahmins from taxes
@@fab8187 *King Kharavela was a JAIN by faith,* but, he respected all Religions *Equally !!*
@@samayasarjain4559 Bro In Odisha there was never a tension between Dharmic Religions . That's why you'll see in Jagannath temple foreign Hindus not allowed but Jain's , Buddhists & orthodox Sikhs are allowed . We have preserved our Jain & Buddhists heritage along with Sanatan (So called Hindu) . No matter which religion came to Kalinga it always stood by one thing "Kalinga Nationalism" or "Udra Nationalism" . We didn't have tyrant kings in our history . More or less every Kalinga empire was more of religious empires be it Sanatan Hindu or Jain .
Kharavela Was one of the most Influential characteristics in Indian history like Chatrapati Shivaji of maratha Empire,king Ashoka mauryan empire ,sehensa Akbar of Moghal and chola king Rajraj chola.
But Unlike others he was under covered in any social platform .
There was an another king Kapilendra Deva from odisha .for him also same conditions less coverage in Indian history.
What we do bro secularism and history book make by Congress party in 1955.
Not to forget another great Kalinga Emperor Narsimha Deva
Of all the kings that were born in Odisha, 2 of them are most notable.
1. Kharabela
2. Gajapati Kapilendra Deva
Kalinga was extremely powerful before Ashoka and nandas and after Great mahameghabahan aira Kharavela .
Kalinga was extremely powerful in trade root with south east Asia ( Cambodia , Indonesia , Philippines) , Srilanka , Burma .
Odia has great impact on their languages .
It is need to research more on the Kalinga in the national prospective.

I just discovered your channel and wow. I cannot stop bingeing your content. For the first time, someone actually dives deep into Indian history.
Thank you! Glad you found it informative.
@@JayVardhanSingh can you make a video why lot's of. Kalinga people in Andhra Pradesh speak Telugu ? Why
@@me-id6ok because that part of Kalinga or later Utkala was conquered by Krishnadeva Raya and merged with the Vijayanagar Empire. For a similar reason you will find many people with Odia surnames in the Medinipur districts of West Bengal who are fluent Bangla speakers but don't know a word of Odia. There are also Odia populations in Jharkhand and Chattisgarh whose regions could not be assimilated into Odisha, or Orissa, state when it was formed in 1936. To this day those areas are called "Bicchinanchal".
We Odia people are the most underrated.

Good detailing about Hathigumpha inscription of Udaygiri Khandgiri caves situated in Bhubanshwar. Not only that the inscription starts with the "Namokar Maha Mantra" which is core Mantra of Jainism since ages, the caves situated at Udaygiri and Khandgiri were excavated by King Kharavela and later by his successors for the Jain Saints. The Khandgiri hill has many caves which has several idols of Jain Tirthankara engraved in them. The Nav muni gumpha, Bara Bhuji Gumpha, etc. have Jain Tirthankara idols situated therein. The Barahbhuji Gumpha has idols of Jain Tirthankara and the Shasan Devis of those tirthankaras which are now been worshipped as Maa Barabhuja. Just a request to all that we should not convert the original identity of the historical places that have been given by our ancestors to us and these are treasures for us. Thanks
As some one from Bhubaneswar I agree that this historic cave was converted to a resting place for Jain monks by king Kharabela.
Wish we had our own tradition of historography like the Greeks or Romans or Chinese. We woould know so much more about ancient India.
Rig veda puranas and some hints in other texts r ignored for obvious reasons. Puranas r mytho-historical texts. So are greek texts. But bias against indian texts is easily visible in our history.
Historiography without bias or myths was pretty much non existent in that age. Even the Greeks who have written about chandragupta write shit lik a lion slept surrounding chandragupta to protect him, an elephant from the wild allowed chandragupta to climb on it using its trunk. This problem of myths only increases in indian texts of this time
@@randomturd1415 why do you think that what the Greek wrote is false? You doubt agility of the warriors that time? Or the cflaim that you can make animals your defender

Thanks bhai and please call me Jay. I am no Sir :-)
Interesting episode as it knits together several events Satakarni, Tamils, Western dialect of Prakrit, Jain image, Yavanas, Magadh, possibly Shungas. I read about Kharavela in A L Basham and the Tamil event in Nilakantha Sastri.
The etymology of Kharavel is one question
Khara means salt or salty, vela means coast. Even today a beach is called "Bela Bhumi" in Odia. Kharavela therefore means "Salt Coast" or "Salty Coast", a logical name for some one whose kingdom bordered the sea.
Other coast might be sweet coast during kaaravela time.
As always very concise video
Very clear , informative and smart representation ! Thanks.
King Maheghavahan Aira Kharavela's achievement is no less than other great kings. But it's not publicized or taught by mainstream education. So nobody outside Odisha knows about this great king who drove away Greek forces from Mathura to beyond Sindhu river.
your content is awesome , and topics you make video on are best
Thank you so much
ବନ୍ଦେ ଉତ୍କଳ ଜନନୀ 🙏
Kharvela was king of kings, the greatest Kalinga warrior and idol of all Khandayats. During his rein kalinga territory was probably the largest of all times.
Also during maharaj kapilendradeva we have a greater kingdom.samrat kharvela was also marvellous
@RajnasyaNo,cheti is misinterpretation.kharavela is from ancient kalinga dynasty
He was the one besides Sikhs who defeated Afghans, whereas British, Russians and Americans failed.This is the reason he finds mention in military history taught in institution like NDA and IMA.
Vey Nice Explanation with Facts.Kudos

Good one Jay..jainism is also deep rooted in india..u might b aware that the hathigumpha inscription starts with णमो अरिहंताणं ... The same salutation is still use in today s life
Wow, I didn't know that this is still used today. Shows the continuity of our traditions.
@Prateek Dalai Is this true
@MAHARAJA kharvela was a Jain not Hindu
@MAHARAJA who told you?
Rss?
@MAHARAJA lol no, he was Jain
Very good oration and narration. God Bless you.
It's new for me. Thanks
I have really become a great fan of yours Sir. I am a history student of class 12 really interested in knowing the ancient Indian History, and I have watched many of your videos and found them awsome. As you made these videos about Pataliputra and also about Kaushambi I have a kind request, actually I wanted to even know how these ancient cities used to function& even look like(description) along with their city planning. Are there any sources from where you can find & whenever you're free make a video about it?
There were many historians but sadly all they always talk about were Mughlas, Shivaji , Ashok and Cholas .
Many thanks bro for providing this video to others .
Btw we will like to know more about the then lifestyle, routine , food and daily activities about the then people of India .
Hope you will bring more such interesting videos .

3:40 -- Chedi was an ancient kingdom. Shishupal, who was beheaded by Sri Krishn as narrated in Mahabharat, was a king of the Chedi kingdom.
Thank you so much for the rich information you have given. I like your narratives. Is there any connection between Sishupala of Mahabharata/Bhagavata as he was addressed as Chedi naresh and Kharavela. Incidentally there is a city called Sishupalgarh in Odisha all requiring to look for a common factor
One of the another king from Odisha is King Kapilendra Deba 👍
bhai , does tritsu is an only indian clan which have braided hairs ?are there any clan which claim descent from them ?
Sorry, I don't have any knowledge about this.
On Tritsu Tribe, we know that they were part of the Bharata tribe. The Bharatas later merged with Puru to form Kurus.
Can you provide the source where you get the information " a monk from western India wrote the inscriptions! "
Jai Jagannath
nice video...please make a video about your book collection..
Thank you. I will try to do so in future.
@@JayVardhanSingh Which Mauryan King was in Hathigupha Inscription?
I don't think this inscription mentions any Mauryan King.
Please avail like option to viewers, who like to watch your video without opening it, ie watching it in autoplay mode by scrolling and placing it at a particular place, on viewer's mobile phone screen and without opening that video
Since Kharavela had campaigns against Satakarni as well as the tamil kingdoms, can we not see their literature or inscriptions to find the possible date of kharavela ?
Kharavela inscriptions are found in ratnagiri udayagiri caves of odisha
Very nice and informative.
thank you
Thank you.

Please make playlist on southern India in detail 😀

@@JayVardhanSingh thanks sir 🥺🥺
You said that some scholars interpret the Tamra or Tamira people as Tamil ppl living in south. Is there any other interpretation? Do all schoalrs agree on that? Could you give more infor about different interpretations?
Thank tyou for the informative videos. One request: if you are citing scholars, please mention the source also.
Please see the description for the list of sources I've used for the video. All my videos have list of reference in the description.
Kharvel ki kahani jain scripture me aati hai usne sab monks ko bulake Mahavir ki vani ko likhvaya tha bahut badi sabha bulake sab siddhant likhvaye the
Are you talking about shwetambar sect?
Because digambar sect accepts first written book as Shatkhandagam which was written in Girnarji?
But I was not knowing this before.

What Do You Think About The Northern Campaign By Karikala Chola?
And Also What Do You Think About The Battle Of Venni?
The event is described in the Sangam poem. But historians have raised doubt whether there was a campaign of this scale. I also have my doubts regarding this. But I do think that, there could a campaign North, but we don't know how far this campaign went. Without any additional information, it is hard to answer this question.
@@JayVardhanSingh It Is Written That He Reached Till The Himalayas(Modern Day Uttar Pradesh And Bihar)
@@JayVardhanSinghthese were expeditions to showcase their power not a rule...so it is 100 percent happened...

One correction : The Hathigumpha incription is in the Khandagiri caves which is now part of Bhubaneswar proper. Thus it is no longer "near" Bhubaneswar but "inside" Bhubaneswar.
Kharvela defeated shunga and brought jina idol
There is a place in Bhubaneswar named Kharvel Nagar. This place is indeed named after this king!

Are Khawar descended of khayaravala dynasty????
Battle of Ten Kings bro please 🙏🙏

Hey dude could you make a video on the history of the sayyid/syed and ahmed/ahmad family dynasty and tribe in india. I know u mostly make videos on ancient and pre-1Millenium C.E., but pls I would be very grateful.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will also make videos on other period of Indian History in due course of time. So, in future, I will try to make video on this topic as well .
@@JayVardhanSingh cool, I love ur videos. Have always had a particular affinity for history and archaelogy. About to start college soon,thinking of choosing history or philosophy as my major if I do BA. Idk, much about my own family history sadly :(.but my grandfather says we were independent nawabs and sultans based primarily in southern and central india, and that after the revolt of 1857 when my ancestors sided with bahadur shah zafar,the British derided us of all our regal titles, seized our money, properties and jewellery and left us destitute. After that we came under the service of the nizams who bestowed upon my paternal great-great-great grandfather the 'Jagīr' of Gogi in modern-day Karnataka. The name Sayyid/Sayed/Syed or any of it's other variations means "Lord" or "baron" in arabic, and is conferred on the descendants of Prophet Muhammad through Husayn . My ancestors most likely came to India from Iran in the 12th century as refugees to evade the Mongol horde. That's it, that's all I know.
That's quite an interesting history.
@Самрат Рой yes that is true many hindu nobles and merchants converted to Islam and adopted elite arab titles. But even after that, these people were still part of the nobility in India. My ancestors themselves were nawābs
@Самрат Рой predominantly in the South. My great great great grandfather was the جاگیردار (Jagīrdaar) of Gogi in modern-day karnataka. He was granted this by nizām mahboob ali khan after his forefathers rebelled against the British in 1857 and lost all their land, titles, holding etc.
Dear reader, please take the king name with respect, its not just king Kharvela, its the King Aira Veera Maha Meghavahan Kharavela
He is actually A tamilian with a name Karri Velu Ayyar which became Kharabela Aira.
A movie should be made on king kharavel
🙏
Kharvela also coquered Magadha. Opposite hati gumpha another hill is there, where inscription about Ashok found. Kharvela built these caves to show Ashok "look I brought back kalinga's pride by defeat Magadha"

It is also possible that King Ashoka had employed Greek and Scythian mercenaries in his Kalinga campaign given it's bloody course.
Could be, but we don't have any evidence for it.
Our kharavela have taken revenge from ashoka by destroying and defeating magadha,odia khandyat have avenged it,jai jagannath
Quite possible. Since Hindu soldiers didn't hurt or kill women or children as they were bound by dharma, may be these mercenaries were used to cause the bloodbath, since they had no morality or ethics.
Jyotirmaya mohanty,did you forget how our odia khandyat also killed 2 lakh army of ashoka,odia khandyat also massacre large army killing many army of ashoka,
King Ashoka didn't employ a single foreign mercenary. Instead all the Kshatriyas saw all foreigners as malechas.
Kalidas writes that when Ashoka came to Kashmir, he expelled all people'of foreign origins. So yes they were very race conscious. Kalingas and other indo aryan groups were not seen as foreigners but different nation states.
The oldest mention of the Tamil Confederacy gets it's mention from Hathigumpa Inscription
The Tamira Confederacy:
The Mauryas, ruled Kalinga before Kharavela, and they find mention in Tamil Sangam literature which talks of the parasols, banners and chariots of the Mauryas; Mauryas cutting paths in mountains for their chariots to pass; Refers Mauryas as strangers (vamba moriyar) who came with a desire to conquer the South. So, these are proofs of Mauryan military ambitions in Tamil Regions.
But there are no records of a Mauryan conquest of the Tamil region. Maybe, because of the Mauryan threat, the Tamil kings banded together, and their unity acted as a deterrent. This is the confederacy that Kharavela perhaps broke, roughly around 173 or 172 BCE. If the confederacy was 113 years old at that time, then it must have come into existence around 285 or 286 BCE, which would be the time of the Mauryan ruler Bindusara, the father of Emperor Asoka.

Is that why some Odias still have the name Kharavela?
Good video again Jay. There is a theory that the Tramira kings mentioned in this inscription are likely to be local rulers near river Krishna delta who spoke a dialect of Tamil and not three Tamil dynasties of the southern india. Any comments?
Thank you, most scholars are of the opinion that these Tramira were probably chieftains of Tamilakam. But all of this is speculation, we have only one line and there's no other evidence. So, hard to conclusively say which theory is true.
Took 2 years for the video to reach me
Isn't Amrata mentioned in Yuga Purana who conquered Magadha the same as Kharavela?
no biharis are offended in this videos 🤣
Kharavela defeated Week sunga empire, and kanava dynasty came into power after sunga empire.....
Samudragupta, the king of Gupta Empire, recaptured the Kalinga......
Cry louder.... 😂😂😂
Samudragupta defeated Kalinga 🤣🤣
The achievements of Odias are not concocted stories but evidence based facts.
Don't dismiss them as stories for entertainment.
The maurya empire fought war of kalinga and take kalina jin ( bangwan rishabhnath) to magadh after 100 years kalinaga is ruled by raja kharvel and take return kalinga jin
My theory is that Kharabela existed before Mouryan Empire. That's why there was a mention of Nanda king but not any Mouryan king. Another point is that, Jainism was very popular until Chandrgupta Mourya, because Kharabela was also a follower of Jainism. We don't see many kings after this period. 3rd point is Kali ga was a strong empire until the Kalinga war by Ashoka. It is not so believable that after a bloody defeat in this war Kalinga could became power again in 100 years. Most probably the Kharabela's empire existed until the Kalinga war.
Another mighty king of Odisha was King Langula Narasingha Deba👍
Kharvela Dynasty was Chedi Yadav 🗿

Bro, you please follow Rajeev Ranjan Prasad. You will get a great learnings !
True
satavahana and kharavela belonged to same clan sada which is wrongly mentioned as chedi.kalinga and andhra were twin branches of same race but not same as odhra.kshara vela is sanskritised south indian name khara velu or person with sharp weapon.
It is also mentioned in jain ramayans that ravan was king of mahamega vahana dynasty in vindhya region.
Brother, why don't you start teaching history optional for upsc cse, i assure that u will be successful. Just try it once.
