If Temples essentially started existing with the Guptas, then what about "The Mundeshwaari temple" in Bihar? It's been dated back to 108 CE by the ASI itself. The base of the temple still remains (the rest being demolished by islamic invaders) , with it's absolutely different hexagonal structure which doesn't resemble any conventional temple...

Actually stones or concrete temples started building when Greek arrived in India. The first known Hindu temples was built by bindusara in sachi which is now in ruins . Before that there might be temples of mud or wood which obviously can't survive to till date . So it's stupid to say temples started building only in this era . Actually most of Archeologist and historian do so which is again stupidity. In village, we have small shrine dedicated to gramdevta which is not so grand and long lasting.

Hindu mythology Matsya Purana is written in reference to the arrival of Jews in ancient Keralam and a great flood that occurred in Keralam. The fish that appears before the king asking for refuge represents the Jews who came by sea. The fish getting bigger and bigger in a short time here means the more and more arrival of jews who fled their land after fall of Solomon's temple. In the history of Kerala, there have been many great floods that submerged Kerala. The jews who came to Kerala by sea may have warned about the coming heavy rain by observing the weather and wind. This may be the reason why Malsya Avatar is said to have prophesied about the coming flood. With the arrival of these foreigners, the story of Noah's Ark spread first in Kerala and later outside Kerala. Matsya Purana is a combination of these incidents in Kerala and the story of Noah. Noah was like a “second Adam” since all people come from him. And Adam is the first man according to foreign belief. In the Matsya Purana, the king who rebuilds flood-ravaged Kerala takes the place of Noah. After this story reached North India, many changes were made and it became the Hindu mythology that we know today. According to Jewish belief the ark of Noha came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. In purana King's giant boat came to rest on Malaya mountain. Mala itself means mountain in Kerala's language Malayalam.

A triggering podcast after long. She speaks like a true convert, of course. I assumed that now that we have Sanatana history being researched by Sanatanis we would not have “historians” with an “agenda” getting such prominent platforms. I should have stoped the podcast once she mentioned the Aryan Invasion theory so casually, although it’s been disproved and debunked. I am appalled at the lack of respect she has for the unconventional historians, going as far as calling it fiction and pretty much idiotic in a polite manner, also laughing it off as if it were children’s’ work. I am just really happy to see Ranveer hold his ground and not buy into the crap she peddled. TRS has had ASI archeologists who dig and procure artefacts themselves who are way more open minded and have a true scientific mindset, bring them back a 100 times if that’s what it takes to replace Binny. I am sad to know she has students whom she is influencing to create the next generation of historians with an agenda. Do we really need a historian to gas light Hindus into believing there were no temples/hinduism before 1AD in this day and age? Definitely do not need any more of them in Kerala and TN, where this ideology has created a massive exodus of Brahmins from TN and Hindus from Kerala. Well, I guess she is a true representative of the states as we know them now, communist territories.

[@iamtherj]

She believes in Aryan Migration - typical communist ideology. Most of the things which she's saying here is just a one sided agenda based opinions. On multiple occasions, she's spoken Ramayan and Mahabharatha to be myths and are related to Brahminism and not a cultural history of India. She has also spoken against construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya arguing the decision is baseless and there's no evidence for a temple beneath the Babri structure. She's some fraud with an agenda behind. Tamil people and culture is an inseparable part of Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism and it played the most vital role in protecting the culture and people in South, but all she's making it sound like Tamil is nowhere related to Hinduism and it's something different. Typical Communist way of diving the culture. All her arguments make it seem likes Hinduism is something created by Brahmins which is new thing whereas Tamil culture is completely different and very much old which is not as same as Hinduism.

I appreciate how TRS has brought on so many respected historians and Indologists, shedding light on the complexities of Indian history, both North and South. It’s been refreshing to see experts untangle these narratives for audiences genuinely interested in understanding our heritage. However, I’d suggest being cautious with guests like Malavika Binny. Having listened to her Malayalam speeches, I feel that much of the information she shares isn’t evidence-based and seems to promote a specific ideological perspective. As a left-leaning Catholic, her approach to Indian history, particularly in relation to Sanatan Dharma, often feels influenced by Western ideas that could confuse viewers genuinely interested in understanding India's authentic history and cultural roots. It would be amazing if TRS could continue to invite more established archeologists/self-taught historians like Anica Mann, KK Muhammed, Nilesh Oak, Raj Vedam, and others who bring well-researched and balanced perspectives to the table.

51:20 It's not a logical claim that a traditional historian should made . The problem with traditional historians is that they think society developed with time .

But above thinking is wrong if we think of evolution. Men and women both were the part of evolution. In ancient world there was very less differences between men and women. Women were equal to men but with time their position declined. She is citing an incident of Mahabharata very loosely. In Mahabharata,There are many references of women in royal court, the best one is gandhari presence during peace talk with Krishna. There are countless evidence of that but if you want to pick one riyal court that was always open for women then it would be court of king janaka of Mithila .

Read translation of the poem - He gave me many splendid precious jewels that awed me. When my large family saw that, they took the finger ornaments and put them on their ears, put the ear jewels on their fingers, those meant for the waist on their necks, and those meant for the necks on their waists. They were like a huge family of monkeys with gaping red mouths scooping up the beautiful ornaments that fell to the ground, when the mighty demon snatched away enraged Raman’s wife Seethai. Heading a large family and thinking about removing their great sorrow, I was very happy along with them when our poverty and distress were removed.

Sangam surely is an underrepresented text but it is too biased to consider Sangam texts as reference but ignore Ramayana or Mahabharata as reference. She is talking about existences of materials and trade based on poems from Sangam texts but when deny when similar things are mentioned in Puranas and Itihasas Ramayana(Vanaras and Hanuman were from Kishkindha, modern day Hampi) and Mahabharata(person who provided food for both the sides during Kurukshetra was a king from Karnataka as a means to maintain neutrality) had kings present in the South and Puranas mention places in the South(Manu finds Matsya in modern day Madurai on the banks of Vaigai, then called Kritamala)

[@CJ-ud8nf]

Hindu mythology Matsya Purana is written in reference to the arrival of Jews in ancient Keralam and the great flood that occurred in Keralam. The fish that appears before the king asking for refuge represents the Jews who came by sea. The fish getting bigger and bigger in a short time here means the more and more arrival of jews who fled their land after fall of Solomon's temple. This story is written by comparing the story of Noah's Ark(great flood) and a great flood that later happened here in Keralam. In the history of Kerala, there have been many great floods that submerged Kerala. The king of Keralam has been compared to Noah who is considered as the second Adam. After this story reached North India, many changes were made and it became the Hindu mythology that we know today. According to Jewish belief the ark of Noha came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. In purana King's giant boat came to rest on Malaya mountain. Mala itself means mountain in Kerala's language Malayalam.

[@kddraco333]

Puranas ain't real, I believe only a Vedic texts. Puranic are not actual facts you dummy, Vedic texts all are science not related to god's. Rudra, Indra, varuna all are related to some sort of science not gods. Rig veda is iron melting science. Puranas are written for Brahmins convenience. This ain't real. I believe in Mahabharata and ramayana but not puranas. Come out of that useless fiction

[@shivashankar-xy8zm]

Sangam literature is different from ramayana and mahabharata. People used gods in their stories to legitimize it and curb any questions. Cholas too used this tactics. So if you are believing god himself rode a chariot then you had believe every kings conquest and the massacre that followed as divine judgements too.

@@CJ-ud8nf it's my first time seeing an allegation of reverse appropriation 😂 Matsya Purana is said to be the oldest of all the puranas as it talks about the creation story of this Manvantara. It is so hilarious to say that Matsya Purana was written after the Jews came when the Manu story is just a small part of Matsya Purana. FYI Matsya Purana has 291 chapters containing over 15000 verses while the Torah contains 5500 verses so atleast do prior research before spouting whatever comes to your mind

[@vamsydurvasula7386]

@@shivashankar-xy8zmshe mentioned Sangam literature talks about gods like Murugan, Mayyon, Kottravai etc so your argument of Sangam literature being different from Ramayana and Mahabharata is moot since both of them use gods and supernatural elements(Cilapattikaram talks about cursing and burning a city down by Kannagi) And your second point of having a religious rationale to justify war is true in the case of Cholas but Ramayana and Mahabharata never talked about a divine rationale for those wars, it was the commentaries which talked about it. Rama waged a war on Ravana because he kidnapped Sita and it didn't matter whether he was a God or not(especially since Ravana has a boon to be able to be killed by only a human so even Gods can't kill him). Yudhishthira waged war on Duryodhana because Duryodhana didn't give them even 5 villages and even Krishna negotiated for those 5 villages. And Krishna(the divine character in Mahabharata) was involved only because Kauravas went to him first not the Pandavas and Duryodhana chose Krishna's army while having the first choice.

[@rhishabhnaredi]

I have just begun the podcast and have a contention to what is being said so I thought I’d leave a comment for the same - while she is right that there isn’t much talked about Southern India, I believe it’s not just Southern India. Indian history is much diverse and wide than what is being taught in history books, we are still learning about French Revolutions that happened outside India or about Mughals and Britishers who came to India. I believe the reason behind that is because we still have a faint British influence on us wanting us to learn more about the foreign lands and secondly I believe while the historians in India are working round the clock uncovering the truth of Indian history, there is still a lot to be done, it is still not mainstreamed. I believe the first step would be to mainstream the work of historians that will bring more stories and histories to light for Indians to be intrigued and be learning!

[@Truth_seeker-bl5mi]

The problem is our society in general..we never went to dig up our past to learn about our ancestors but instead focussed on pseudo history derived from Hindu religion... We believe ramayana existed when in reality the author himself said it is a work of fiction...the westerners think differently and most of the history we know about india, we own it to bristish and setting up ASI....our society is also not promoting history research and archaeology .. that is why we learn more about foreign history than indian history.... Eg.... We don't know much about what happened to india after Buddhism spread and how it vanished suddenly.... We see remnants of Buddhism in present day Hinduism like some temples in south and dietary practices like vegetarianism...

The fish getting bigger and bigger in a short time here means the more and more arrival of jews who fled their land after fall of Solomon's temple. In the history of Kerala, there have been many great floods that submerged Kerala. The jews who came to Kerala by sea may have warned about the coming heavy rain by observing the weather and wind. This may be the reason why Malsya Avatar is said to have prophesied about the coming flood. With the arrival of these foreigners, the story of Noah's Ark spread first in Kerala and later outside Kerala. Matsya Purana is a combination of these incidents in Kerala and the story of Noah. Noah was like a “second Adam” since all people come from him. And Adam is the first man according to foreign belief. In the Matsya Purana, the king who rebuilds flood-ravaged Kerala takes the place of Noah. After this story reached North India, many changes were made and it became the Hindu mythology that we know today. According to Jewish belief the ark of Noha came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

I am from Flatbush, Bklyn- and I watch this show everytime it is uploaded. When I finally visit India, I want to find a wife like her.

I've read about the Chola empire ✨️, Sangam Literature 📖 during my 6th standard... especially Raja Chola, Rajendra Chola... today again i'm visualizing in this epic history podcast 🎙.

This podcast is filled with misinformation

Sorry to say , but i think i have wasted 2 hours in the hope that i learn something about southern history , indeed maam is educated and experience but , after watching so many historical podcasts the alternative versions of history is more convincing than the traditional one , even after applying all the scientific, religious parameters on it. Secondly maam , was saying that those alternative versions are frictional, but i think the version that maam talked about is frictional as she said multiple times that we dont have proper timeline of this that , just like our textbooks, on the other hand historiand like Nilesh sir give us exact timeline even the date or occurance of an event. I request you to watch Nilesh sir podcast as it is one of the finest historical podcast i have watched and learned.

@@rishabhbundele1449 well brother, it is sometimes triggering when what u believe to be history is junked as mythology by a historian.. but that's how critical evaluation of history works...we can't paint myths and legends as wholistjc history.. and idk why u spoke so much abt History and then dropped in the name of Nilesh Oak.. the guy says Ram setu happened in Maldives.. so I guess he's a better historian than this lady in terms of evaluating history
