The History of Hindu India (Part Three) was developed by the editors of Hinduism Today magazine in collaboration with Dr. Shiva Bajpai, Professor Emeritus of History, California State University Northridge. It is intended to provide an authentic presentation of the history of India and Hinduism for use in American middle and high school classes, as well as Hindu temple study groups and general presentations on the Hindu religion and history.
This documentary is based on the third chapter of the textbook, "The History of Hindu India," published in 2011. It covers Indian history from 1100 to 1850 ce, from the Arab Muslim invasions to British rule, a time of great difficulty for the Indian people. These extensive foreign invasions are recounted, including the plunder of the great Siva temple at Somnath, and the establishment of the Mughal Empire by the 16th century in most of India, its subsequent decline by the mid-18th century and the gradual control of India by the British. The documentary provides an account of the saints of the powerful Bhakti Movement, including Ramananda and Kabir. One section is devoted to an overview of the Sikh religion, from its founding in the 16th century by Guru Nanak to formation of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh in the 18th century. This is followed by a brief introduction to Indian music and its basic concepts of tala (rhythm), raga (scale) and improvisation.

This documentary is directed and produced by Sushma Khadepaun; produced and narrated by Roger (Raj) Narayan. Funded by the Uberoi Foundation, Institute for Curriculum Advancement, this film may be freely distributed for educational purposes.

I'm Tamilian and I admit that Northern States acted as a wall between Invaders and Southern India. It must not be a matter of shame for South Indian people to accept that North India faced Most of the Invasions.

[@pb99865]

Many tamilians are denying, driven by politicians

[@MohitSharma-ik7ms]

Thanks brother, Some powers are still trying to divide the Indians on the basis or language. They are spreading hate between North and South India. But we should learn from the history; Together we can achieve the true heights we actually deserve. Language is just a way to communicate. India will always be united. Love to every Indian

[@sowmyakarthikeyan8654]

But unfortunately most of the south don't know this history and politicians are doing politics because of their lack of knowledge on the invasion.

[@adityasinghbhati9954]

I've just found out today I'm an Hindu. what a lovely religion, unfortunately for me being in the UK it took many years before realising that millions of people also share my own views on life and the next. these videos are a great help for me to understand the history and also understand how too worship my new found religion.

But Mughals could never capture ancient Assam. They attacked assam 3 times and every time Mughals were defeated by Ahom rulers. Their worst defeat was in the battle of Saraighat in 1671

[@lata4343]

Hinduism or Hindu History has been badly ignored and neglected always in Indian history. First the Marxist group of historians never gave any importance to Hinduism, Hindu history or any concern related to the Hindus. Loved to watch this documentary on Hindu history, detailed, elaborate and illustrative.

[@rljpdx]

i find india/hindu music so beautiful.

[@rljpdx]

I really enjoy these presentations and Raj Narayan (sp?) is an excellent presenter of this.

[@ganapatihegde1024]

[@devgogoiassam]

Very informative indeed. But lacks a major history of the north East India. While many do know about Shivaji and Rana Pratap, there was one ruling dynasty that gave nightmares to the Mughals, the Ahoms of Assam. Ahom dynasty successfully ruled the north East India for a period of 600 years(1228-1826). 'Lachit Borphukan Award' is given to the best cadet of NDA(National Defence Academy) in honour of the great Ahom General Lachit Borphukan who defeated the mughals number of times. Please include the history of this great dynasty without which the History of India remains incomplete. Thanks

[@devendrapratapsinghchauhan5131]

This is one of the best series I have watched on KZbin. It certainly made me prouder being Hindu. Nicely narrated.

Where are Maratha's who changed the faith of India From Shivaji

[@subramanimk3596]

Tears rolling my eyes.But one confidential message is that, all our indian gurus promising that again india is going to be the light of the world. Yogi ji of thiruvannamalai promised that Ram rajya is not far away in earlier 2000s. Also assured that it will start from 2020 itself.Soon lets hope for All in one India again.

Jai Shivaji . He spread back hindu empire

[@canisji]

nice video.....I really wish if you had explained the defeat of mughal empire in the hands of hindu maratha warriors after Shivaji....British defeating Marathas marked as the beginning of British rule in India and not British defeating mughals...it is a misconception which need to be cleared to many... anyway...great video overall...thanks !

[@canisji]

True

[@burusho8488]

Being a Muslim Pakistani i admire Hindustani culture and Heritage. Religion was used to gain power before and in this era too. As the human beings we should respect differences (color, linguistic, beliefs..) between us. May peace prevail on earth.

[@amanjha6237]

I'm originally from North and having lived in Maharashtra for 2 years want to say with all conviction that it's unfortunate that Shivaji is lauded and revered only in Maharashtra instead he should be revered in all of India being one of the main saviours of Hinduism.

[@jsingh265]

Same goes to sikh history as well. We played our fair share in protecting bharat. Jai hind 🇮🇳

Why did my ancestors convert to Islam? I am sorry.

[@shampersaud2763]

I don't understand why you are sorry. Perhaps, you could learn your history and birth of your religion Islam...If it is something to really be compassionate and understanding is to understand how the Hindus felt and still are to date. They were the victims not the perpetrators. ..

[@chiefrabbi6735]

Had the British not arrived we would have had a glorious 18th and 19th centuries under Maratha Empire.

[@Vikasslytherine]

Indeed. But as said in the video, british also played a substantial role in Mughal's final decline.

[@travellersagar437]

Vikas, British didn't try to defeat Mughals. Maratha fought alone with Mughals and they were too powerful. In 1758, Maratha captured Delhi and that was the end of Mughal ERA in India. But Maratha lost their everything in Panipat War.

I love this series and appreciate your efforts. We need more such videos to educate the people (Indians themselves) of their history with clarity. In school, most students don't understand the correct chronological order of events to get an accurate picture.

[@ramsesh100]

There is more information about muslim invasion of india rather than the kingdoms that resisted the invasion especially the vijaynagar empire the reason that hinduism thrived and more temples were built in south india is because of this vijaynagar empire sadly this empire has always been left out indians should know about this empire and its importance

it’s not there fault, all kingdoms like, maratha,chola,karkota,gupta,ahom,rajput are ignored, you’d ask why? congress tried to delete the history of wrong done by muslims in india, so that communal harmony remain in india, so they portrayed mughal as a good guys,where’s other kingdom as sidekicks, but people are becoming more aware daily, so in future you’ll see ahom kingdom in school books, don’t worry
