@9:25 That's my Q. Thank you for answering it. I'm from Karnataka and it's good to hear we had a trade relationship with IVC. And hope one day we decipher the IVC script. And wish the other tribes had some cravings related to IVC.

Ivc was trading in whole subcontinent. It's just ignorance that we don't consider it.

[@singhizhem]

I missed the chance to submit my question. Hopefully in a future episode, you could answer these: 1. Many Ancient Greek/Roman’s have reportedly mentioned that South Asians were very tall on average with men being nearly 6 feet in height. Is there any proof you have seen of this yourself in historical texts? 2. At Alexander’s most easternmost extent in Punjab, he erected 12 pillars which many sources claimed to really exist. On top of the Ashokan pillars is a lion which seem eerily similar to Lion of Amphipolis (located in Greek Macadon). So my question is, are some of the Ashokan pillars actually the lost pillars of Alexander?

[@vibhu7543]

1st one yes ,even brits said they never saw such tall people by seeing rajputs soldiers of awadh . The reason for the decline in height is due to 20 major famines during 18 19 20 century, i noticed this in my family others too that the next gen is surpassing their previous in hight if they are living a good prosperous life. My Gfather was 5.6 who lived through famine ,father was 5.8 and me 5.11 . Similarly diff bw tollywood star families in diff generation is clearly noticeable in terms of looks, height etc

[@prakash86anish]

Keep doing Q&As. Love your videos. Could you please cite some references (possibly with detailed description or photographs) of sex toys used in the Indian subcontinent since the Indus Valley Civilization upto 1900 AD? The only thing that I've read is 'The Kama Sutra suggests a penis piercing made of gold or ivory, or even wood, to enhance the length of the penis for female pleasure'. Has any artefacts even been found in the subcontinent or been depicted in any paintings or carvings at historical sites like temples or monuments?

Why there was a religious syncretism between the indo greeks kushans and not with the macedonians and Persians ?

[@randomturd1415]

Alexander adopted many Persian customs and even considered himself a Persian God. However complete syncretism didn't occur properly probably because the Persians and Greeks were staunch rivals/enemies

I would like to ask you few questions. Why Humanity academia is controlled by the marxist and Why India hasn't able to deliver in the feild of Humanity as much as India has delivered in the feild of Science? Do you think Indains failed in Humanity stream especially even understanding their own history by themselves because of politicization of the humanity feild for past 70 years ? And we succeded in Science where political control and especially Marxist approach don't work
