The interruptions did get irritating and while I like free flowing interviews it's easy to lose track of your thoughts. Dr. Manjul's clarity in thought process and focus is commendable.

[@kundansingh954]

Smita, if you would have allowed him to speak more without interrupting him with questions, we would have gathered more information. A piece of feedback to you: your questions were inspired by discredited theories because of which his answers kept getting derailed. I would recommend that you bring him back to the forum and let him speak more with minimal questions. Please take this as constructive feedback, for I appreciate and applaud the work that you have been doing.

[@S0S0ant1]

I do agree with you because Smita Prakash has this tendency of derailing the ppl who are nationalists or may have teeny-weeny leanings towards sanatani ideology because she wants to prove to the leftists that she is not a “sanghi” or pro bjp as they give these tags to neutral or centrist journalists to throw them off guard.

[@thebug0]

It's natural for her to interrupt. Just find her tweets in 2010 and you can find her real source of enrichments.... E.g her tweet 21st September, 2010 at 14:18 hours wrote... Instead of 'bhavya mandir' can we build several bhavya IITs and IIMs? Integrity in character is the foundation of our Dharma... Sometimes it's required to be an excellent listener instead of a verbose speaker.

We think Moenjodaro and Harappa were discovered in the 1920s. This is wrong. It was discovered almost 100 years earlier and the British rushed a team to Iraq (Mesopotamia) as a consequence. When they realised the significance of the findings (out of India) they not only spent the next few decades removing all evidence of the link and then used what remained as ballast for the Lahore-Multan railway, they also partitioned India to keep the sites in the hands of "fellow Abrahamics"! Why was this so important for them? The origins of known civilizations demolished the carefully built narratives around what was projected to be the roots of "Western Christian Identity"! Partition was an elaborate coverup!

[@buddha9715]

​There is no evidence for any Culture or language the steppe people have introduced in India. Only assumptions. The entire backbone of this theory is a bunch of assumptions like a non existant PIE which we have no evidence of. We have no evidence of their Culture. Only some assumptions and whataboutery. Even the paper on AMT itself is shady considering how the calculations for median age was done so that it fits with the timeframe of the aforementioned AMT. If the median age goes up or above by a few digits it become too late or too early for a supposed Aryan Picnic. Not only that the Steppe people had east Asian ancestry. But Indians have no trace of any east Asian. The only logical explanation is that the Shakas/Scythians who show a decreasing gradient of East Asian ancestry from east to west gave us our Steppe Ancestry. Not only that multiple invasions have been recorded in our history such as the Huns, The Scythians, The Greeks etc. Who indeed had steppe ancestry. So it seems more plausible that the aforementioned groups gave us Indians our Steppe ancestry and not the Steppe pastorialists as their number is quite insignificant to introduce steppe ancestry in all of Indians. So this throws out the Idea of yours that Dravidians were the IVC people and Aryans introduced Sanskrit and whatever bs you guys concoct. ​@@goddalehundibharathraj4374

Smita madam , you are now a pioneer. The mainstream media just shut up on this subject.The very prospect of formally challenging the AIT was apparently a no no for the anglicised gentry and public intellectuals which included media , academia and strategic thinkers. It was as though they were kicking the can down the road under the plea that it is early days to conclude anything so why stick our neck out in giving the new thought leaders any chance ? This chapter has to be taken head on. We need massive amounts of multipronged research into archeology , epigraphy , architectural history, metallurgical studies of early bronze age and earlier periods. Now that we are laying a claim to resurrect our collossal civilisation we need hard empirical evidence and ground facts. Govts must be punched into action by mass awareness and pull factor. Please concentrate on a badly neglected subject which is now a policy priority - Indian Knowledge System. Pl interview people like Raghava Krishna founder of Brhat, the Indic reniassance organisation. He is a scintillating intellectual. The pushback against IKS is severe. Pl intervene , bring the subject above the water level. Remember Neera Mishra was solidly prevented from archeologucal excavations in Purana quila for 30 years by the lobby backed by none less than the Aga Khan. They wanted to put the start of the history of Delhi with the Islamic invasions and shut out everything else before that. Please act , you have great credibility. Give the new evidences and scholars a wide berth.

[@RajanKarat-e4u]

Ms. Smitha Prakash, Your subject video, your choice of the narrator, ie. Shri Sanjay Manjul and your questions put to him are very valid, brilliant and scintillating. It seemed as if I were myself asking questions which has racked my brains for many years. I would like to put my own theory of the Indian civilisation as I see it. There is no doubt that we can trace our ancestry to Africa. But there were two streams, one coming to India via the sea route from Magadascar and the other coming through the land route, from Kenya. At that time the continents had begun to drift apart. The sea route people were short and sturdy while the land route people were tall} and lanky. They maintained different cultural outlook. In Kenya there is s snow covered mountain called Killimanjaro, shortenened Kailas, by the Indians. They worshipped the dead, i.e., ancestral worship. Where the lanscape lacked mountains, they created stone grave edifices. The Pyramids are a replica of the mountains. The Magdascaran people who came by sea, cremated their dead, or put their remains in mud cisterns, buried them underground. You can see such sites in Kerala. The differencec between these two migrators was that the people in the south believed in the soul which returned to earth after a cycle. Hence on one auspicios date they would offer these souls good food, while the Kenyans believed that they would enter snother world and the descendents would would furnish them with food, weaons, servants etc to accompany them in the next world. Such belief gave rise to the gods, Indira, Varuna, Vayu, Agni etc. You can see the connections of words like, Simha, (lion), Shul (spear), Shav (dead body) and Shiv (god) associated with the Kailas mountain. There are many more thoughts to be shared with you, but later.

This could help us in challenging the Aryan invasion theory, Dravidian civilization, and all other commonly held beliefs.

[@DollieSolanki]

Smitaji, firstly thank you for inviting Dr. Manjul for this extremely informative podcast. But one request; please do not interrupt the guest so much. Allow him to complete his answers. No hard feelings please, this was just constructive feedback 🙏🏼

[@Candle108]

Excellent topic .....long overdue guest,Smita👌👌👌👋👋👋🌹💐🌹💐🌹

[@shashanksanga8017]

Thanks for calling these type of people to have clear knowledge and understand about historical evidences that we can trust rather than politicians misuse and changing history for a purpose playing with cultures and religion and dividing lands.

[@AnandShrivastav007]

Smita, extremely interesting program. Scientific. Incisive. Informative. Looking forward to more such programs that would encourage more research on Bhartiya archaeology. Suggest similar program on South Indian Dravidian archaeology

[@ashismishra9411]

She should listen more without interrupting again& again. She should learn how to take serious interviews ..

[@satyajitmahapatra2270]

Excellent discussion, Dr Sanjay has worked on the ground and has a treasure of archeological knowledge

[@thedesertgardner101]

Right question asked. Thank you ma'am, as always it was awesome.🙏

[@indraniroychowdhury4542]

Madam l am a new follower of your page. My humble request is to restrain yourself from interupting the guests so much. Most of your questions were less constructive and more disruptive. He is an expert of his subject. Let him speak and guide him covering all topics. What a great subject you had in this video yet so poorly treated.

[@krishnabaalupoliticaltalk1262]

Wonderful Smita ji, thanks for this podcast. After all "we are all Harappans" as said by our famous Archeologist Sri Shinde ji. Thanks Dr. SK Manjul ji for sharing great content here. Madam, next plan for a group Podcast with Dr SK Manjul, Dr. Shinde and Ms Rekha Rao?

[@HarappanEnigma2024]

Whole Dr Manjul family is contributing greatly to NATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGY. Thanks a ton ❤❤❤

[@gopalramanathan7062]

Excellent episode, we want many of such high quality episodes 🙏🏼🕉️🙏🏼🇮🇳🙏🏼

[@abbakkachowta6326]

Both Smita ji and Manjul ji were superb

[@girishchandra6806]

It's amazing,archeological discussion without Buddhist and Jainist history of India. It's impossible.

[@prakharshankar3064]

Boudh 2700 year old. Sinoli 4000 year old 😅 Jain 1st tirthankar boudh time + around 1200 year old 4000 year old

[@praveenb4143]

Bhai...they are discussing older times than era you mentioned.

[@ayushdhingra855]

Khan se aate hain aise log. 😂

[@gurwindersidhu6542]

​@@prakharshankar3064how can you say Buddha is 2700 years old,he was born 540 years before Isha was born, who count those 540 years

[@gurwindersidhu6542]

​@@prakharshankar3064before Buddha utter vadic Aryan lives and they started to fullow many rituals which make society and religion very complex and that's why Buddha and mahavira and ajevika sect raised against the brahmincal supremacy over society

[@guruforty1]

Wow, what an amazing show! Absolutely loved this program, based on facts and science! No wonder we will find the actual Maha Bharat war location and some weapon remnants, permanently shutting out all nay sayers! Great work Dr. Manjul, loved to hear that your whole family is involved in archeology! We will look forward to many more discoveries!

Deciphering the Indus script, I would have liked to know the challenge and updates on ongoing work / effort of ASI

[@rajakrishnanpillay]

This is an interesting and important podcast; unfortunately, for those who don't understand Hindi, there aren't even English sub titles to help them know what is being discussed. This omission excludes them completely.

[@umaneelakantan9327]

Itihaas . Documentation.. So the Indian Epics are our Itihaasa n they truly describe the entire gamut of our Hostory, Historical Geography, Knowledge, Scientfic, Technological and Material and Alloys Science.. . and Mathematical . , Caculus, Trigonometry , etc. ( Astronomy and Astrology), Medical Advancements. Architecture, . etc. All these are evidenced in them .

[@neelamdahiya1182]

Really. It’s a great episode, I had too much confusion about our history. I think all the Indian are suffering from it . & Through your program clarity is come in my mind . We can solve contemporary topics after knowing real history of India. This should be broadcast at higher levels

[@prathmeshbhatt3937]

What an amazing podcast!! Massive respect for Dr.Sanjay Manjul.

[@ilavarma6043]

amazing talk ..Sanjay ji is so knowledgable. One request Smitaji - dont call it 'Mythology' .. its history not mythology ...

[@Bbajirao]

This is a marvellous report and amazing podcast. Really loved it please make more of these.❤

[@HeritageSociety]

Highly informative and inspiring session....Many congratulations to Dr. Sanjay Kumar Manjul, ADG, Archaeological Survey of India.

[@mpnikhil]

Excellent interview. Thank you for covering this topic. Shri Manjul has done a great national service by excavating an epoch making site in Sinauli.

[@kiranvas09]

Why is ASI not using ground penetrating radar and other tech used in the west extensively?

[@varunkhugshal9049]

They do use it, though they are highly under funded

[@deepaktiwari2186]

1:17:14 best line in whole podcast

[@itsdeepakmalhotra]

5 ghodon ka rath .... I think that is where the term "horse power" comes from (for car engines) .... the more horses for a chariot the better... even today the "horse power " is used to describe the car engines power ....

[@nikitajha6500]

It's so unfortunate that people like them do not have much search result on google but if u search a 18th tire actor you get numerous search result.
