I remember reading Arabian Peninsula had trade relations with southern part of India before the period you mentioned.

Jay .. What do you think are the holes in this Sindh History which we need to study more? I definitely think there is sampling bias. I mean just the chachnama and some puranas cant make up all. We must be having archeological, numismatic evidence. Something else ?

[@JayVardhanSingh]

The problem of sampling bias arrives when we have the luxury to choose our evidence. In the case of the History of Ancient Sindh, we do not have this luxury. There are very few sources. The archaeological and numismatic evidence at present are miniscule.

[@tauseefuddinkhan]

You're referring to the concept of: *Antyajya* or *Antyavasati* (अन्त्यावासति) / *Saptasindhu* (सप्तसिन्धु) In ancient Hindu tradition, there was a notion that Hindus should not travel beyond the boundaries of the Indian subcontinent, considered sacred. This concept was rooted in: *Reasons:* 1. Fear of ritual impurity (आशौच, Āśaucā) 2. Separation from sacred rivers (e.g., Ganges) 3. Disconnection from sacred geography (e.g., Kashi, Ayodhya) 4. Risk of cultural contamination 5. Concerns about maintaining caste purity *Scriptural references:* 1. Manusmriti (2.22-24): Restricts travel to foreign lands 2. Yajnavalkya Smriti (1.122-125): Prohibits travel beyond Saptasindhu 3. Mahabharata (5.74.13-15): Warns against traveling to unknown lands *Saptasindhu:* Saptasindhu refers to the seven sacred rivers of the Indian subcontinent: 1. Ganges (Ganga) 2. Yamuna 3. Saraswati 4. Narmada 5. Godavari 6. Krishna 7. Kaveri Traveling beyond these rivers was considered spiritually and culturally hazardous. *Changes and reinterpretations:* 1. With the spread of Hinduism and Buddhism, this concept became less rigid. 2. Advaita Vedanta philosophy emphasized the unity of all beings. 3. Modern Hindu thinkers reinterpreted these restrictions in the context of globalization. *Key figures:* 1. Adi Shankara (788-820 CE): Emphasized spiritual unity beyond geographical boundaries. 2. Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902 CE): Advocated for cultural exchange and global understanding. Sources: 1. Hindu scriptures (Manusmriti, Yajnavalkya Smriti, Mahabharata) 2. Scholarly research (e.g., Journal of Hindu Studies) 3. Historical texts (e.g., "The History of India" by Vincent A. Smith) 4. Online resources (e.g., Wikipedia, (link unavailable)) 5. Academic publications (e.g., "Hinduism and the Nature of Reality")

Al (The) Ilah (One worthy of worship) The Pre-Islamic arab pagans, jews, christians all used to worship Allah and they referred to him as "Allah" even before the revelation of the Qur'an. The reason why the Qur'an was revealed was because the pagans started worshipping idols and started associating partners with Allah and the Qur'an came to bring them back to monotheism from polytheism. I hope you get the point.

[@kraut1982]

Thana city is not directly on sea it’s a few kms upstream on the Ulhas river where it splits into 2 creeks. Ship access to Thana is through these creeks. Thana as you mentioned seemed to come up during Chalukya time after Kalyan. However Suparrak or Sopara which is actually a sea port near Vasai creek, where Ulhas river meets the sea, is pretty old port, also mentioned in the Periplus of the Erythraean sea There is also an area on this creek called Ghodbunder which was used for horse trading. Further on this river is city of Kalyan, then various trades routes passing through the Sahyadri range such as the one at Naneghat you can reach deep into Deccan plateau and the ancient caves at Ajanta, where you will find among the many paintings one of a Sassanian dignitary at the Chalukya court thought to be Khusrow. It will be interesting if you see all these places on map. Another thing that this video reminded me about are some Hero stone carvings of a naval battle found in Eksar, Borivali, during construction of a highrise. They might be depicting this battle or one at a later date. Worth checking it out on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6evk3eabLCLa9Usi=rtu9FgKBraj6YfXc

[@JayVardhanSingh]

Why would a Chalukya emperor come in person to tackle these small raids? As I have said in the video, this was not a big naval expedition. It was a small raid. Also, raids by their very nature are surprise attacks. If there was any battle that happened between the Arabs and the Indians, the military garrison of the region would've been enough to tackle the small Arab force. We also know from different sources that the Arabs didn't try to conquer and establish their base. They swiftly returned.
