In this video, it was discussed how the popular belief that Genghis Khan was a barbaric ruler who killed 10% of the population or more can be challenged. It was argued that this narrative was created by Western writers who couldn't accept that an Eastern man could be greater than figures like Alexander or Napoleon. It was acknowledged that Khan was a military expansionist, but it was claimed that he only went to war when necessary and had a difficult life before becoming a conqueror. It was concluded that Khan was better than most conquerors and that claims of him being cruel and killing a large number of people lack evidence.

Genghis khan was the greatest conquer to ever live. Not only he conquered the most amount of territory, he never gave fake accounts of himself as a protector of religion or going to war for a just cause and stupid stuff like that. He was honest in his own way. And neither he built grand monuments for himself.

I'm to sure about the Russians, but he did order genocide against at least 2 tribes. The reason being one tribe had kidnapped his wife and she was forcibly married off to one of the tribesmen. His response to was to order genocide against that tribe, but many of it's members fled to a neighboring tribe and took them. Genghis Khan then ordered that tribe a target for extermination as well.

Ironically, I'd say a lot of Mughal emperors were misunderstood. Emperor Akbar was often displayed as a sexual tyrant, yet the Rajput Hindus were the ones who sold their daughters to him in exchange for high status within his ruling commission. He was also extremely tolerant to all religious groups. There are widespread "accounts" that Babur killed 30 million Indians upon invading Indian soil; yet these claims could never be verified. Aurangzeb, although controversial in his beliefs, had many Hindu councillors within his high court and did not persecute the Yuvarajas like Jahangir - and even Jahangir acknowledged that imprisoning them with unsubstantiated evidence that they were plotting to kill him was immoral, eventually he released them. Indian media and history in general is extremely biased and deviential.

[@Rishi123456789]

I completely agree with everything that you have said in this video, Abhijitji. Genghis Khan had a level of religious tolerance and respect for women that was practically unheard of in the West for centuries. Also, the Turks were VASTLY MORE CRUEL than Genghis Khan (and the Mongols in general) ever were. The Turks made Genghis Khan and his fellow Mongols look like saints (yes, SAINTS!) in comparison.

The wikipedia says that these catacombs are a replacement of cemeteries. Since the cemeteries are running out of space the rulers at the time moved these skeletons to these catacombs. Is this correct or not? I’m not sure but sounds convincing.

[@letsc12]

apparently the reason " this ossuary was created as part of the effort to eliminate the city's overflowing cemeteries. Preparation work began shortly after a 1774 series of basement wall collapses around the Holy Innocents' Cemetery added a sense of urgency to the cemetery-eliminating measure, and from 1786, nightly processions of covered wagons transferred remains from most of Paris's cemeteries to a mine shaft opened near the Rue de la Tombe-Issoire."

Genghis Khan was simply the most accomplished and successful military commander and conqueror the world has ever seen. And, yes, the West doesn't like that fact and does not want to accept it. Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon all pale in comparison to what Genghis Khan achieved. Unlike those idolized Western conquerors and leaders, GK wasn't a megalomaniac and was always in control of himself and had the undying loyalty of his people. Look at how the West's "Big Three" ended up compared to GK. Was GK cruel? Only as cruel as the situation warranted and not any crueler than other wannabes of his era and before or after. He was, by far, the most successful conqueror, so he probably did end up killing more than other conquerors. But he did offer his enemies and besieged cities to surrender under reasonable terms and that their lives would be spared if they obliged. The majority of the cities complied and they were left unmolested and got Mongol military protection. This is hardly ever mentioned. GK was ruthless but he was the butt end of the others' ruthlessness as well. He grew up that way and he survived and then united all the tribes into a nation and then expanded to the greatest empire. There was really no choice but for GK to wage war against the Jin Dynasty that had meddled in Mongol affairs and pitted the tribes against each other in the same way the Persian Empire did with the Greek city states. As for the war against and the subsequent conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire, that was clearly provoked by Mohammed. GK is misunderstood in the West or has been intentionally demonized and it will probably always be that way. You look at recent history and even what's happening around the world and some things have changed and many really haven't. The level of leadership is actually a lot worse. But, then, figures like Genghis Khan and Alexander only come around once in a millennium and we are forced to deal with their wannabes in the East and West, respectively, who are not even the size of cockroaches in stature, talent, and vision.

#AskAbhijit sir, vishnu puran states that Saka,yavana, huna, kamboj ,pahlavas and pulindas were all kshatriya clans back in the days of suryavanshi ikshvaaku clan's sagara. All these clans were likely chandravanshi and they were followers of haiheya-tailajangha clans who had uprooted and unseated the ikshvaaku suryavanshi rulers from ayodhya. Sagar then defeatded and exterminated his clans very vociferously and restored iksvaaku lineage at ayodhya. In this verse it is said that sagara divested all these clans from their Kshatriyahood and aryahood and gave them the status of malechas this happened because sagar had sworn to exterminate them but they begged sagar's guru vasistha for pardon in order for Sagara's vow to be fulfilled.. the guru suggested relegating them to the status of malechas and expulsion from indian subcontinent.

The thing with objective historican work is, you have to figure out the political influenced writings which tend to assume the worst in the enemy and the best in the own from the well researched ones. My country was under the rule of so many emperors if someone would try to assume one was worse than the other and glorify the god old days, he wouldn't be seen as an scholar, but as a right wing populist.

[@marvelbaba8696]

In his peak he was the Khagaan (supreme emperor) of almost entire Asia including China, Persia(including the Ottoman), Tuhraan (south west Asia) except only India and the south-east Asia. So did he actually wish, he could have walked through India. Yes they were divided in about 4/5 groups each ruled by a Kahn. But as the Khagan, Genghiz could command the entire cavalry of all the groups. So he could have attacked from any sides and all sides if required . An account hints us that he might not be as interested in invading unnecessarily or sheer out of cruelty. That is to do with his beef with one Jalaluddin who pushed him away on the first occasion. He returns with his army and decimates his kingdom which was, if I’m not wrong somewhere around Lahore, Punjab. But after that he simply returns back. His later descendants which went through severe civil wars and were much smaller groups of army, much much later raided upto Delhi a couple of times probably during the Khilji era but they too just raided and went back. Genghiz himself was not even raiding. He just came for Jalaal, defeated him and went back. It doesn’t scientifically prove a thing, but that gives us a psychological idea to how he saw all this. The westerners wrote what they did because they were dominant enough to write anything they wanted. Much later off course. Also he used defeated soldiers(prison on wars) as his slave armies. We know it because most of his army members were themselves Turks when he reached down south. It was one of his strength; ie, having a massive army. It would suggest that, he would more likely want his enemies alive to have more slave army rather than killing them.

[@blackmamba9950]

That's why people around the globe remember Alexander and Genghis, and not Indian kings. Conquest is in the blood of the men who write history or we can sit and whine here about why such kings were "cruel"

[@yogi5878]

@@blackmamba9950 not entirely true. it's opposite in India. we remember good kings more and for longer period of time at least in India and in indian history. in Indian history evil, selish kings have been forgotten and only good kings names survive in history. because good history is what inspire the people to be good. the less negative the education is the less negative the outcome will be. and this seemed to work in India for thousands of years until barbaric invaders came who were much cruel in history who targeted our existence and ethnic cleansing as their goal just like they did with native Americans after demonising them to look the ethnic cleansing normal as if they deserved it. this is unaccaptable. "Conquest is in the blood of the men who write history" this maybe true for uncivilized barberiens who are slave of their senses, emotions, ego and limited identity but not in India. Indian kings never invaded any other country despite they travelled across the world in huge fleets of ships. they have dissolved themselves in foreign culture and country if they went but never changed or influence things or politics or power by force. but we allowed native people to absorb our culture as much as they can and while improving grammar, maths, trade, policies, laws, etc. so that line "conquest is in blood of men who write history" doesn't apply on Indian rishis/sages who are responsible for recording Indian history without any prejudices, bias, selfgain, ego, emotion or illogical holes. clear prespecives and intentions from all sides are important to understand full history.

[@soumyadiptamajumder8795]

I’m going to approach this one from a different angle though since there have been developments in scholarship about the subject that I wasn’t previously aware of. One thing we need to keep in mind when examining the 13th-century Mongol expansions is that many of the sources written about the Mongols that survive have a clear agenda and are not always all that reliable as a result. This means we have to take them with a grain of salt and examine them alongside other evidence that exists to verify them. This is common with many fields and subjects in history and I know this subject makes some people irrationally emotional for some reason but we cannot make things up in history, we need to focus on the evidence and the facts to get as close to the truth as possible. While there is no doubt that the Mongols conquered plenty of land thanks to their mastery of warfare and therefore killed plenty of people, some sources give us numbers of dead that just make absolutely no sense and are essentially propaganda. They will list millions of people killed by the Mongols in a given settlement despite census tax records indicating that only tens of thousands of people lived in some of these locations. There are certainly particularly violent episodes like what happened at Bagdad, which can be verified, or the large-scale warfare that occurred in China (alongside famine and plague which must be kept in mind when looking at the death toll indicated in census records.) With that said, this idea that the Mongols were bloodthirsty barbarians who killed everyone they came across and killed millions everywhere they went is clearly an exaggeration. In fact, focusing on China we actually do see a population increase when the military campaign is complete and China would go on to prosper under the Yuan dynasty. This is also a broad trend we see across the Mongol empire in general, the secure trade network they set up resulted in a boom in commerce and generally speaking, the Mongol empire proved to be a net benefit to its subjects. I know its easy to focus on the brutal wars that took place, but we cannot ignore the fact that the Mongols were also very competent diplomats and in actual fact, in some cases they did start diplomatic relationships with peaceful intentions but if you kill another countries envoys and merchants, that sends a very clear message that you intend to fight and every ruler knew it so they only had themselves to blame if they got a bunch of their people slaughtered due to the mistake they made. So, there is no doubt the Mongols were at times, nasty on the one hand, but the historical evidence simply doesn’t suggest they were any worse than anyone else. They just had all the pieces of the puzzle in place to become really damn good at conquering. Often times people focus on the Mongols but do not even consider the foes they are facing and how they stack up morally speaking and I have to give the Mongols a lot of credit. They could have easily justified some kind of holy crusade or jihad equivalent with their whole “universal ruler” belief justified by the Mandate of Heaven but they didn’t. They didn’t care what your background was or your religion was, they treated you the same as everyone else. Additionally, while their meritocratic system in practice does not quite reflect what we see in the modern day, they deserve credit for that as well all the same, at a time where bloodline was usually king outside of the Mongol sphere. The Mongol empire is also such a vastly big entity that frankly, I am making some oversimplifications as this subject really deserves a book. Because they were so hands off like any other successful empire in that era as long as you paid your tribute, acknowledged the Great Khan as your ruler, and fulfilled your military obligations, your experience under the Mongol empire will depend at least just as much on the governing body of your state and even settlement. Regardless, I hope this answer provides a clearer picture all the same. Yeah, they killed people. But the caricatures people often turn them into simply are not reflected in the historical record.

I haven’t read much on G.Khan, but I’d like to point to that lack of evidence is a conclusive evidence towards a claim. I think a logical conclusion on whether he was or wasn’t cruel is that we don’t know. If we have evidence of vice versa , I guess we might can conclude that he wasn’t cruel. Also, I’d like to know more about his motives for conquering different kingdoms outside of Mongolia. As you said, it was due to threat. I’d love to see some evidence supporting this, and some books I can read to know more about this.

There's another short story of genghis khan. There was a time during the inception of his great empire. In a situation he was unfortunately traded as slave to an other king. Egotistical king jailed him publicly and displayed him to show that he enslaved great khan. People there spat on him, threw rotten stuff at him. But A buddhist monk had a great sense of his ambition and came to him to request that there's a monastery here with immense amount of libraries, manuscripts and holds students. I know one you'll avenge your humiliation and destroy this city , but please don't do anything to the monastery. Then the great khan asked him to send a message to his wife about his arrest so that she can find him as a return favor. Monk then agreed to travel to Mongolia to give a message. On the way to his travel the old monk died due to sunstroke but managed to hold the totem firmly to make sure his wife gets it. And then the you know his wife gets to him , he escapes builds great empire and all. Years later the entire city was just a desert and ruins but only the monastery was healthily standing with no scratches. He kept his promise THIS IS CALLED HAVING PRINCIPLES
