Finally. Someone challenged the idea that we are a product of our colonizers...but we are actually, Asian and we got our philosophy from India! Without killing us.. India just developed us.
Can understand the dismay Filipino's might have felt on being ng called product of colonisers.
They try to make same narratives about India existing due to colonisation.
yup...
Because Buddha loves everyone and it spreaded to most of Asia without violence.
The word Rajah (Raja)means the king in Indian language I am talking about rajah lapu lapu
They are the product of spanish colonization just look at the name of their country
I have a feeling that we may have Indian architecture way back then but the Spaniards may have destroyed it.
Pretty sure
After Buddhism/Hinduism, Islam came first before Christianity.
@@akuto17 exactly
@@akuto17 same happened in india. First religion was hinduism, then Buddhism was formed, after that islam came in india and islamic rulers destroyed our beautiful temples and architecture and they build their own tombs and mosque. Then Christian(british) came and they looted india. They left india when india's GDP remain less than 1%.
But now again most people are following hinduism. And we are growing.
As they did to the indigenous of the Americas
I'm Filipino with a non-Hispanic last name - "Mutia" - which is a name that originates in Mindanao. Mutia comes from sanskrit word मुत्यहार (mutyahāra) which means pearl (mutia) hara (garland); which speaks to the possibility that I have an ancestor who was a pearl trader.
Too bad most Filipino surnames are in Spanish. We could've preserved it when we got our independence in 1898 but sadly they retained the Hispanized surnames
Edit: the "it" refers to the Filipino pre-colonial surnames. Apparently some turtle brain can't read based on context.
Or your ancestors might have chosen it from the list of 60,288 surnames in the book Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos in 1850. You'd be surprised how many non Hispanic surnames were included there.
@@jrexx2841 still a lot of non spanish surname igorot and muslim.
@@richardunica3542 There is a lot, yeah. But percentage wise I say it's about 20-30%. The majority has still Spanish surnames
@@jrexx2841 Nope. The reverse is true for muslims and igorot.
The first religion in Philippines before islam and Christianity arived were Hinduism and Buddhism so many artifacts in Philippine museum specially the gold Clothing .
But most Filipino due to current Western supremacy would prefer to be linked to Christianity and Spain
Rajahnate of Cebu(The Last Chola):
Chola Expedition Philippines: Around 14th century descendants of Tamil king Raja Raja Chola, Sri Lumay, was sent to Cebu(Philippines) to prepare the base for the expeditionary forces of the Cholas of Sumatra(Indonesia)instead he established the Rajhanate of Cebu in the island. In April 27, 1521 in the "Battle of Mactan" chieftain "Lapu-Lapu(Cilapulapu)" and his warriors defeated Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and delayed the Spanish occupation. The Rajahnate itself folded in 1565 when the last King, Sri Tupas or Felipe Tupas, cousin of Rajah Humabon was defeated by another Spanish navigator, Miguel López de Legazpi’s soldiers in April 27, 1565 and subsequently signed the Treaty of Cebu, heralding the end of the Great Cholas, one of the longest ruling dynasties in the world(200BC - 1565AD).
Sri Rajahmura Lumaya, known in his shortened name Sri Lumay, was the first Rajah and the founder of the Indianized Rajahnate of Cebu. According to the epic Aginid, Bayok sa atong Tawarik,a Bisayan epic story, Sri Lumay was a half-Tamil and half Malay minor prince of the Chola dynasty in Sumatra. Sri Lumay was the grandfather of Rajah Humabon.
Rajah Humabon Chola was the first filipino chieftain to embrace Christianity from Hinduism. He was the grandson of Sri Lumay Chola the first Rajah and the founder of the Indianized Rajahnate of Cebu. Sri Lumay fought the Magalos or destroyers of peace , this is a Muslim Moro warriors who come from Mindanao, they had been raiding the island of Cebu in search for precious item like gold or ceramics and slaves. When Ferdinand Magellan landed on Cebu on Sunday, April 7, 1521, Rajah Humabon made a blood compact with Magellan as a symbol of their new found friendship. Captivated by its noble teachings, Rajah Humabon Chola was converted into Christianity. On Tamil new year, April 14, 1521, Humabon and his wife, Humamai and about 800 Cebuano's were baptized. Humabon was given the name Carlos in honor of King Charles V of Spain and his wife Queen Juana after King Charle's mother. This conversion wiped out Islamic domination in the Philippine Islands.
Animism and Paganism are the first religions in the Philippine Islands before Hinduism and Buddhism
@@nikkoaugustoix stop spreading fake self created stories, learn the history first then talk , stop spreading personal narrative here
@@nikkoaugustoix India was pagan country before hinduism created in 150AD. What they say in india is all lies. Hinduism is not that old. They only created hinduism to kick out buddhism. All vedas are tamil literature.
All names are tamil names in vedas.
All names in Bible are tamil names
Mandarin came from Tamil ( IGUOLAI proves it. This one word gave so many words in mandarin)
Korean basically speaks reverse tamil root words mixed with some chinese and some on their own. But korean sound good. Better than tamil sound.
Best sounding language is korean in my opinion but i have not heard others yet.
Tamils were never hindus.
Filipinos love Indian people.❤❤❤❤
We also love you. Love from india ❤️
❤️ from India
Love from India. but what is real/original name of Philippines country? just curious. the real name of India is Bharath btw. it's something like:
1. Chariot of emotions (Bhava + Rath = Emotion + chariot). it perfectly defines what the journey of life is. emotion is mind and chariot is body. to go beyond life you have to go beyond mind and body to master it. this word contains enlightenment.
2. Bha + Ra + Tha = Bhava (emotion) + Raga (music) + Thala (Rythm). something like life is rhythmic music of emotions. rythms are same pattern in daily life like same pattern in a music which stimulates emotion. that's the conclusion from pure consciousness perspective which is independent from worldly maya. again pointing towards your true self enlightenment.
@@Yogi_The_Bitter_Truth_2408 Real name of the Philippines is Maharlika, Ex President duterte tried to point out in parliament that Philippines should be renamed as Maharlika. But I don’t know what happened after that.
😊😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏
As a Professor of Architecture, I'm aware of Spanish and American heritage.
I'm amazed to know how deep and extensive influence Indian culture has in our history. Thank you.
Yeah, the rajah and maharlika words are from Sanskrit. No wonder Jose Rizal studied speaking in Sanskrit because Philippine languages have a lot of influences from Sanskrit. In architecture, I think indian influence is undiscovered. Kulintang and kudyapi is also indian influence.
Sanskrit is not an old language - the language that was actually old in North Indian continent was Prakrit and Pali languages. There is a huge amount confusion about Prakrit languages. There are 12 major North Indian languages 1, Apabhraṃśa (Prakrit); 2. Ardhamagadhi(Prakrit); 3. Dramili (oldest Prakrit); 4. Elu; 5. Gandhari; 6. Kamarupi; 7. Magadhi; 8. Maharashtri; 9. Paishachi; 10. Pali (also mentioned as Prakrit by some kingdoms); 11. Shauraseni; 12. Khasa. But each language is different and a few are referred as Prakrit language at different times especially the Dramili is the language used in the Ashoka edicts as Prakrit language which is the oldest written record for Pali and Prakrit. Ancient India had used Pali and Prakrit languages in Jainism and Buddhism literatures. Sanskrit is a new language that was created by refining, merging and choosing grammar and verbiage of all these 12 major languages- that’s why there is no record of written Sanskrit in ancient monuments or Jainism and Pali literature which were the oldest regions of Ancient India. Hence the claim to Sanskrits to be old is not proven because of this and even Rig Veda is first written down in 14th century AD and all claims are only verbal and they wrongly point to the written literature records of Prakrit or Pali languages as Sanskrit. Hindi is formed much later by choosing the largest spoken dialect of Prakrit in the present day Uttar Pradesh. So it very clear that anything written in Sanskrit is newly written literature after Sanskrit was formed.
@@AlexVembar Pali is a language and also a writing system. Sanskrit is a Language. The oldest known writing system found tobe used for writing Sanskrit is "brahmin". But the oldest writing founded writing system used for that, are unknown.
Regarding the chronology, Sanskrit is generally older than Pali. Sanskrit is evolved from earlier Vedic Sanskrit, which was used in the composition of the ancient Hindu scriptures known as the Vedas. Pali, on the other hand, emerged later as a distinct language during the time of the Buddha, around the 5th to 6th century BCE. While both Sanskrit and Pali have ancient origins, Sanskrit predates Pali in terms of its development and usage.
Prakrit, on the other hand, is a term used to refer to a group of related Middle Indo-Aryan languages that evolved from earlier forms of Sanskrit. Prakrit languages developed alongside Sanskrit and were spoken in different regions of ancient India. Prakrits can be seen as vernacular languages that emerged from the more formal and classical Sanskrit.
So, to clarify, Sanskrit is a distinct language with its own grammar, vocabulary, and literature. Prakrit, on the other hand, refers to a group of related languages that evolved from earlier forms of Sanskrit and were spoken in different regions. While Sanskrit predates the development of Prakrits, both Sanskrit and Prakrits coexisted and influenced each other during ancient times.

I watch Indian cultural videos to reconnect to my precolonial roots, when India enriched our culture. I have this feeling I can't explain when I see Indian or Hindu art.

Me I can’t relate with Indian. But everytime I saw Indonesian arts and architecture, its seems familiar or I’ve been with it long time ago
Same.

As an Indian we were not taught this in History, we were taught mostly history of Islamic Invaders and British , Internet made possible to read rich history in ancient times. Looks like people were connected centuries afo and it shows in language alphabet sounds etc
Dear 'Indian' you clearly did not go to school. Indian school history text book has SEVERAL chapter of pre Islamic Indian culture and empires. If you did not pay attention in the class and were bunking classes to smoke with friends do not blame on the teachers. In fact ignorant idiots like you are the main problem of Indian society today who received information from Whatsapp.
People often overlook the Indian culture that is so deep, that psychology and religion in the Islands employ names and concepts from the Subcontinent. Even the Western import of Catholicism, which is presently the predominant religion, has translated Christian concepts using words from Sanskrit and other Indian languages, such as the Tagalog "Pananampalataya" (from "Samprataya"), meaning "faith", and "Mahál" (meaning "dear" or "precious") as honorific titles for God and other holy beings.

Wonderfully narrated video.
It is revealing that indigenous Philippine practices and spirituality was married into and syncretised with Hindu elements to form a uniquely Philippine religion. This allowed the people of the Philippine islands to retain their spiritual sovereignty while adapting or adopting what they felt were good or useful. It contrasts heavily with the monotheisms which consigned all non-conforming practices as evil or illegitimate.
Filipinos are a wonderful people and their country is beautiful. Glad to have so many similarities, if only in the distant past!
well put!
Such is the nature of monotheisms. Great comment.
The southern Philippines still retains a lot of this Indic influence. Most people there are Muslims but despite that, they still retain their pre-Islamic Hindu-Buddhist heritage. They are similar to Indonesian Muslims who also retain their Hindu-Buddhist heritage.
Most people in mindanao are not muslim. Many people in mindanao are christian majority, there are muslim but not all. Those muslim region in mindanao still maintain their tradition while catholic is like other countries in latin america who have influence by spanish tradition.
@@beastmood6635 Yeah but I'm talking about the Muslims, they are the ones that retain a lot of the Hindu-Buddhist heritage despite adopting Islam. Catholics have lost a lot of indigenous heritage because they were Hispanicised.
@@user-jt3dw6vv4x yes, but you say most southern philippines are muslim. When in fact the muslim in the whole philippines are only 15%. There are many christian in southern philippines than muslim
@@beastmood6635 I never spoke about Mindanao as a whole, when I said "southern Philippines" and spoke about Muslims, I was speaking specifically about the Muslims that live in the southern Philippines like Bangsamoro. Bangsamoro is in the southern Philippines. Southern Philippines does not only consist of Mindanao, it also consists of the Sulu archipelago. I should have been specific but I did say "Muslims" so it should be understandable for everybody that I am talking about the Muslim areas and not the Catholic areas. I never said most people in the southern Philippines are Muslims either. Where did I say that? I never did. I spoke specifically about Filipino Muslims who have retained their indigenous heritage just like the Javanese and other Indonesian Muslims.
@@user-jt3dw6vv4x you say most people there are muslim. That's what you say.

Now, if they taught this in school, we'd be a broader-minded society. thank you for helping expand our minds. :)
india has huge influence in Philippines in all aspects. Culture, literature, language and religion and many more.
Philippines belongs to Indosphere.
offcourse it used to now it has similarities in environment only like the culture they follow the bathing style etc... while the countryside look bit similar and also the traffic and vechiles
They call us now IndoPacific not Malay anymore. 😂 None called Philippines as South China Sea People.
very interesting video, moreover there is very little discussion about the Philippines during the Hindu-Buddhist period. but there is a slight error. the Sriwijaya kingdom cannot be called the kingdom of India, because it is The original kingdom from Indonesia, is more suitable to be called a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom. The second is regarding the inscription "Laguna". The inscriptions are not from the Chola dynasty or mention someone from the Chola dynasty. The inscription clearly mentions royal officials from the Medang kingdom in Central Java, besides that it is impossible for someone from the Chola dynasty to make an inscription using Old Malay language and Kawi script, because they have their own language and script.Finally regarding the Agusan statue, iconographically the statue shows the characteristics of the Goddess Tara, and has the influence of the art style of the Sailedra statue, not Gupta, because 9-10 century AD, Gupta art style statues are no longer in use, the Gupta art style flourished in the early AD period.

The Philippines has an indigenous Asiatic heritage composed of the cultural traditions brought by the Austronesian-speakers, the native Aeta and other Negritos as well as the Hindu-Buddhist heritage of the Indosphere. It may seem like the modern Philippines is a completely Hispanicised nation but the country is still very much Asiatic.

Lovely video when I travel in south east asian countries like Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia I was very surprised to see a lot of Indian cultural impact on these countries like similar names , budhhism,, Hinduism and also a lot of social similarities. Thnks for u r vdo🎉🎉
Though not obvious on my features, I have descended from Indian family Mitra from my greatgrand mother of my mothers side. I still use it in my socials in honor of my mamay
Good quality content. As an Indian, I am aware of Indian influence on Indonesia and cambodia but never thought it went until Philippines. Not sure if people from Philippines acknowledge that because as an outsider it seems they are mostly into western culture.
as Indonesian. In my opinion, the Philippines got Indian influence from Java (fellow Austronesian peoples), not directly from India. this influence was only limited to certain circles of nobility, not all nobles let alone the people. opinion based on facts in Java itself that Hinduism is very likely only limited to the nobility, the people still adhere to the ancestral religion.
Indianized kingdom just a theory from George coedes.
Cedes death before he read kaladi inscription in Java 906 ce.
Kaladi Inscription:
People of ariyan dravidian pandhya kling shinghala, Khmer Mon Cham, and hunjeman (Arab Persian Rom merchants) are foreigners.
They must pay foreigners tax as workers or traders.
They aren't allowed to live in city or village, just in a port.
Indianize use sanskrit for hinduism and budhism just like arab use Arabic for Islams and western use english for christianity.
Base kaladi inscription 906 ce.
There are rules system like country, immigration, custome, etc. In Southeast asia (especially in Java)
Same as rules system in modern era. 😎
The best things about ancient Indian is that they have knowledge, culture, wealth and trade. They kept good relationship with many countries but they never intend to conquer them by sword. Their ideology was great. Their philosophy was "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" Which was in sanskrit meaning "The world is one family".
Indians didn’t need to conquer anyone because Indians considered the whole world to be Indian. India didn’t have a narrow minded view where they thought that one part of the world belonged to them and that was theirs only. Indians and their culture are stretched throughout the world.
The entire east asia has been trading using the seas & oceans meanwhile europe was still in stone age 😂😂😂
Age of Empires type shiii
Orginal name for India is Bharat, Asian belief system was nature worship and ancestor worship, which was also important part of Hindus hence it was was easier for different cultures to mix with eachother. As Hindu culture did not believe in destroying native identities and culture , instead merged with it. Hence be it in Japan, or China or South East Asia, we all are connected with heritage. That's why Indian kingdoms never invaded to expand culture or religion or forced conversions. Infact Hindu school of thought encouraged growth of new philosophies. Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and many more are considered part of larger hindu family even charvaka (a hindu philosophy similar to atheist concept) was also part of Hindu school. FYI its not caste system its varna(class) system which was used by ancient kings to classify the population to govern efficiently. Later colonial powers forced the concept of caste(a Latin word) and turned class into racial profiling and totally destroyed fabric of harmony among different classes of Hindu and still effects Indians today.
One additional correction. The indians did not introduce "the caste system". caste as a concept was introduced to india by the colonists and used to manipulate the occupational based varna and gotra systems for political purposes.
The hindu influence on societal divisions in se asia happened centuries before the european introduction of the caste concept.

Philippines has gone through many drastic changes in their culture.
I believe ancient humans are very well travelled than what we initially thought.

Great vid! Learned a lot of our history and it reinforces the historical interactions that ancient South and Southeast Asian countries had and that trade and sharing of cultures were very much alive back then.
Wonderful documentary. I have seen a few other productions that highlight broader Southeast Asian and Indian connections, and those were two-way, and not just a one-way colonizer stuff.
I have a feeling that as India and SE Asia get further away from the colonial pasts-- the European, Christian colonial past-- that we will rediscover our shared heritage that is ancient and deep. And especially as India finally regains its economic status, that people in SE Asia will also once again look to India not as a basket case but as a model, the way it was for so long, before the Islamic and European colonizations.
I'm afraid the Visayan culture will disappear because it's never taught in schools. The history and culture of the Visayans will be lost in the passage of time. Somone needs to tell the Philippine Department of Education to make Visayan studies a thing because it makes up more than half the Filipino population.
What is visayan culture. Can you explain.
I understand your concerns, Please write a letter to Philippines ambassador to india and request them to do that.
BJP said that they'll add more Indian kingdoms to our textbooks after removing Mughals. Let's see how long that takes them

@@AJAYSINGH-ns1vv The Visayan people come from the Sri Vayajan Empire in the 7th century. I guess you can call it a satellite kingdom of India. Some of them escaped to Cebu during a war. This video at 5 minutes 49 seconds expains a bit of it:

If im right this is not colonisation like british , spnish or anything.. the culture was spreaded by traders not by attacking or wars .. and the kings who ruled the countries in south east asia were from there only .. if there is any war occured to occupy these lands ..pls mention the wars and their details..would love to know ..
Look up the Chola invasion of Srivijaya. It wasn't always peaceful, and certainly didn't come without shedding some blood.
@@StickyKeys187 so u must have a proof right they had war with chola kings ..
@@GavIsHti You asked if there was any wars; there you have it. Up to you to interpret it however you want.
This is a very good analysis and I commend you for sharing these information. I would also like to point out the cultural connections and the migration of people from Nagaland, India thousands of years ago to the southern parts of China, through Taiwan and northern Philippines and down to the other countries in the south of the Philippines where DNA studies have shown the roots of people from Austronesian countries showing they are related to those from the northern parts of Luzon, Philippines, to Taiwan, to Southern China and back to Naaland, India thus showing a striking similary in culture, clothing and language.
Love your chanel. Would love to learn more from you on this topic as a keen student of Vedic philosophy. 🙏
Vedic philosophy would be a big ask. You can start small by learning about "Samkhya Darshan", which is the basis of Buddhist Philosophy.
Indian ocean spice trade route is the most underrated part of History. Even Indians are not aware of the giant trade route, ships and navies and the gigantic scale of ocean trade between Hindu and Buddhist kings of India and South East Asian countries and of Indianization of South East Asia and East Asia.
India and South East Asian and East Asian should come together to rediscover the now lost and largely forgotten Indianization and culture, religiously, linguistic, cusinie, trade, architecture and in other areas in Countries East of India.
philippines has more cultural connection to indains than to any pacific islander countries. because e are asians not pacific islaners
Good point
5:33 PSA: "Suyat" is a modern collective term for the Philippine abugidas by some cultural organizations [which I haven't pinpointed who they were, exactly]. It was NOT the original term used to refer to Philippine abugidas. Disclaimers should always be mentioned in these sensitive cultural topics cuz more often than not, they breed misinformation.
Thank you for the video, new channel with a quality content and a massive research. Thank you for searching our roots
That's so nice of you to say. Thank you so much!!!
Such a wonderful and informative video. Kudos to the team and my gratitude for highlighting the beauty of embracing and acknowledging our cultural heritage and similarities.
Ancient India popularly known as golden bird" , at that time India was richest country in the world with double GDP of Europe and America. Britishers always attracted towards India with so much diversity , wealth and gold every where.

Thank you for interesting facts, ❤ and 🙏 from 🇮🇳
looking forward to this channel uploading more and more, this is great for Philippine history
Very informative video about India and Philippines historical links.
I really like the Video.
How did you extricate your past and present it so concisely? Phillipines can be considered to be heavily americanized today and I thought the cultural roots are lost. Great job. I wish I could like more than once.

We have also our own writing system here in the province of Pampanga which is called Kulitan with many similarities with the Tagalog baybayin. This province was once the powerful kingdom in Central Luzon region extending up to Northern Luzon area. Its warriors were the fiercest in Southeast Asia. They were once hired by the Thai King to battle the MYANMARS Army(Burmese). They were known as the Kapampangan Warriors.
Kapampangan were indeed hired warriors and fierced mercenaries back in 13-18th century. But they certainly were not the only one.
Macabebe Scouts? They're the ones who captured Emilio Aguinaldo. That's the reason Kampampangans were once called traitors during those early American colonial times.

Sanskrit is not an old language - the language that was actually old in North Indian continent was Prakrit and Pali languages. There is a huge amount confusion about Prakrit languages. There are 12 major North Indian languages 1, Apabhraṃśa (Prakrit); 2. Ardhamagadhi(Prakrit); 3. Dramili (oldest Prakrit); 4. Elu; 5. Gandhari; 6. Kamarupi; 7. Magadhi; 8. Maharashtri; 9. Paishachi; 10. Pali (also mentioned as Prakrit by some kingdoms); 11. Shauraseni; 12. Khasa. But each language is different and a few are referred as Prakrit language at different times especially the Dramili is the language used in the Ashoka edicts as Prakrit language which is the oldest written record for Pali and Prakrit. Ancient India had used Pali and Prakrit languages in Jainism and Buddhism literatures. Sanskrit is a new language that was created by refining, merging and choosing grammar and verbiage of all these 12 major languages- that’s why there is no record of written Sanskrit in ancient monuments or Jainism and Pali literature which were the oldest regions of Ancient India. Hence the claim to Sanskrits to be old is not proven because of this and even Rig Veda is first written down in 14th century AD and all claims are only verbal and they wrongly point to the written literature records of Prakrit or Pali languages as Sanskrit. Hindi is formed much later by choosing the largest spoken dialect of Prakrit in the present day Uttar Pradesh. So it very clear that anything written in Sanskrit is newly written literature after Sanskrit was formed.
Fantastic and on point. Well done!
There is a Filipino Drama Called Amaya about pre Hispanic Philippines. The people in that looked like the people from Ahom Kingdom in 16th century Assam.
Possible because Ahom people are not native to India they came from southeast Asia via Myanmar from Siam currently know as Thailand. Before Ahom the Bodo Kachari kingdom was dominant and other tribal belt areas like lushai and Nagas
Ayos yo ah, who knew? Thanks for producing and sharing 😊
I would say that the biggest influencer on South East Asia was the Pala Empire which controlled Bihar, Bengal and Odisha. The influence of the Pala Empire was much more than the Chola Empire. The Pala Empire continued the Gupta Empire legacy of spreading Hinduism and Buddhism in South East Asia. The Wat Temples of Myanmar and Thailand are clearly based on the Pala Empire temples like Vikramashila Mahavihara and Somapura Mahavihara. The Gupta Empire influence on South East Asia is also highly underrated; there is evidence to suggest that numerous kingdoms in Java and Sumatra paid tribute to the Gupta Empire, and the Gupta Empire even controlled parts of Myanmar. The Pallava Kingdom also exerted a lot of political influence, particularly on the Cham of Vietnam. The merchants of Bengal, Odisha, Andhra and Tamil Nadu played the biggest role in the Indianization of South East Asia.
Tamil influence is the last one, that why it is still visible.
It's the Kalingan merchants who reached South East Asia first..Pala came much later..
Indianized kingdom just a theory from George coedes.
Cedes death before he read kaladi inscription in Java 906 ce.
Kaladi Inscription:
People of ariyan dravidian pandhya kling shinghala, Khmer Mon Cham, and hunjeman (Arab Persian Rom merchants) are foreigners.
They must pay foreigners tax as workers or traders.
They aren't allowed to live in city or village, just in a port.
Indianize use sanskrit for hinduism and budhism just like arab use Arabic for Islams and western use english for christianity.
Base kaladi inscription 906 ce.
There are rules system like country, immigration, custome, etc. In Southeast asia (especially in Java)
Same as rules system in modern era. 😎
And about Sri lumay.
He was cousin of parameswara Malaka.
Their tamil family were expelled from palembang sumatera by Javanese Singosari kingdom and later expelled from tumasik (Singapore) by Javanese Majapahit kingdom. 😎
@@dore3faso6sido what's just a theory..it's fact

Its also fact
There are more than 10 inscription in Java, about Indian tribe in our island just traders or workers in 10th centuries.

Great Job!
Comprehensive video! Thank you for shedding light on pre-colonial PH history and culture. I noticed this channel is new and I am intrigued, what other videos this channel will be focusing on in the future? And by the way, are you Filipino?
Thank you so much! Yes, we are Filipinos and we're very new to this. For now, we're focusing on familiar topics related to the Philippines and perhaps expand on other topics in the future. We'll try and be better moving forward. Thank you so much for your kind words.
@@nipatales That's great, there is much to be covered about our interesting pre-colonial past and it is good you guys are able to mince it down to digestible content with good narration and editing.

India is a very old country, who knows maybe indians are sailing to the Philippines for thousands of years even the time of Alexander the great because in the southern part of the phil. they found helmets and body armor of high ranking Greek army we all know that the Greeks invaded India
Greek were only till the north west part of india
it was through trade.
lol... " Greeks invaded India " ??.. sounds like fishy western story/theory, but certainly not history at all.. vomiting !!..
Thank you for featuring our country which is the Philippines.
No words can be written in Sanskrit because it does not have its own script. Laguna Copperplate Inscription, found in 1989 in Laguna de Bay near Manila, Philippines. It has inscribed on it a date of Saka era 822, corresponding to May 10, 900 AD and is written in Tamil Grantha script descendants of Tamil-Brahmi and Aksara Carakan Kuna(Aksara Kawi, Old Javanese script) both are Brahmic script.
Interesting and educational...
I was amaze of how much effort you put in your References in the Description Box. Very kind of you.
Our education system here in the philippines it's not broad. History talks mostly Spanish colonialism. It never further show we are first influence by hinduism and Buddhism.
How come phillipinos accept only colonial education without seeking your identity before that?
This also is happening in India..
Its done by design.
@@shetkariOP Not so much anymore.
@@Aratiii06 Asian countries were connected with each other way before invading from west happened.
All of them were pretty much prosperous (beside power struggles, which is obvious). Everyone respected each other ideology or existence, it was western invaders who came up with One god, colonial, superiority mindset.
See, how the history starts, some European guy discovers Asian countries. As if we never existed before that, there are large proofs showing how Asian countries were trading and exchanging culture values.
Western powers are incredible asssoles in information warfare. Wait till Asian countries becomes stronger, real info will start coming.

Because of this video, now I fully understands clearly on where and how the Filipino origin started. Not with the colonial narratives that was forced to us in schools. Many of these evidence can be seen untill today from our indiginous arts and design, cultural celebrations, traditional beliefs and local products. Thank you NIPA Tales.
Very interesting

Wow, im amazed.

Great Video
A beautiful and informative video.

Finally someone found and stitched it all together! It is time to correct our history and stop teaching that post colonization history. This should now be added as the pre-colonial history of the Philippines! We are indeed, an ancient culture because we are part of the sri vijaya and majapahit empires... just look at GOLD OF THE ANCESTORS museum display of Ayala... That is us.. advance and sophisticated!
So Hinduism was the first religion of the Philippines?
Yes, way before Islam and Catholicism
Yes, Hinduism was the oldest religion in the world.
or you can say India and its philosophy was with Philippine, in its journey from Tribal culture to civilization identity, but without the bloodshed, murder, rape and forced conversions. of course there would be some, but you cant compare 5 to 95.

The Kingdom of Butuan was a Hindu kingdom and one of the prominent settlements that did trade with other kingdoms in SEA and China. It is sad that this part of history is not wodely known and has been almost completely forgotten.
4:56 Can you share any references regarding this one? I haven't encountered anything yet, saying Namwaran was Tamil.
I like how everything is based on facts, I continue watching upto the end because of this reason even tho I already know about it.
Unlike some videos around providing fake maps and origins just because Filipinos are hungry to know its roots.
Idk about culture but as an Indian Philippines feels like a psychological twin. People there have almost the exact same attitude and tempo and it doesn't even feel like they're foreigners. Like the country is attached to Bangladesh rather than being farther apart than Singapore.
Thank you for your thorough research and documentary. This answers the puzzles in my head why I have some features of the Indians from India while my kids have the features of the east Asian countries. Truly a blend of the east and the west.

Love from India. but what is real/original name of Philippines country? just curious. the real name of India is Bharath btw. it's something like:
1. Chariot of emotions (Bhava + Rath = Emotion + chariot). it perfectly defines what the journey of life is. emotion is mind and chariot is body. to go beyond life you have to go beyond mind and body to master it. this word contains enlightenment.
2. Bha + Ra + Tha = Bhava (emotion) + Raga (music) + Thala (Rythm). something like life is rhythmic music of emotions. rythms are same pattern in daily life like same pattern in a music which stimulates emotion. that's the conclusion from pure consciousness perspective which is independent from worldly maya. again pointing towards your true self enlightenment.
