My fav video so far. A chronology laid out like this makes it so easy to see the progression of ancient indian history Indus valley Mahajanpads Magadh - haryanka, Sishunaga, nanda, maurya After the maurya Im the northwest Indo greeks Indo persians Saka Kushan Deccan - satvahana , western kshatraps East- kalinga South- chera chola pandya Central india- sangha followed by smaller republics, nagas Until the rise of the guptas. Gives a picture of how the history of india evolved

A good chronological coverage of Mauryans,need to know about post Mauryan Shrung ,Gupt,Shak Kushans & others,in particular to how it influenced the later invasions of central asians in future..culminated in subsequent Pathan & Mughals regimes from those areas.. thanks for your efforts.

Brother i recently started watching ur videos and m watching from beginning .I am an UPSC aspirant who never was satisfied with the ancient history available in different books .what i wanted was explained with maps and finally got satisfied with your presentation.your way of explanation and your knowledge is fabulous .buddy can u plz upload videos on later ancient dynasties like gupta ,vardhan dynasties and medieval history too.It will help me and more like .Thank you

[@JayVardhanSingh]

Yes, I am currently making a video on the Gutpas. I am also moving away from the chronological format and now will also make on medieval histories as well. New videos are coming soon. Thanks you your support.

[@Kubha2901]

Very good revision of post mauryan era esp before prelims...

[@ritabansengupta9579]

Ur videos ar fascinating, rarest of it's kind and much needed. Can you give some infos. on the significant, remarkable changes in over all material culture, during the transition from 1BC to 1CE, The classical era, specifically the later and post Gupta era, and few important regions or empires in the early medieval period India, specially the eastern part, The Pala and Sena period.... costumes, overall attire, armours etc. Like we do not get much references from sculptures of how Royal men and Women from the Pala dynasty or may be the Gajapati dynasty of Kalinga (when they were having constant clashes with Vijaynagar Empire, during the eraly Delhi Sultanate rule) would look like or dress. What were the textiles just before or during the initial phase of Islamic cultural influence. How can we distinguish between a man from 11th or 12th century Bengal and Orissa or between Orissa and adjacent parts of South India, or between Bengal and Bihar. Majorly there are sculptures of deities, Gods and goddesses

Excellent presentation again Jay. What date would you put for the start of Satavahanas? 230 BC or 70 BC?

[@JayVardhanSingh]

I personally believe that they existed around 70 BC. But this is not a deeply held belief, if there're enough evidence to prove otherwise I will happily change my stance.

[@gauravgaur338]

Hey Jay, also suggestions about some good books about imperial cholas, specially their conquest of Indonesia and their blue water navy would be highly appreciable

So this was a good Recap video of previous 10-15 videos... Do we have reason as why after mauryan empire there were not many empire that ruled such a big geographical area?what did mauryans have had that another were missing?

[@JayVardhanSingh]

I think it was because of the fact that in other part of India, large centralized states hasn't developed yet. Particularly in the region outside the Northern Plains.

[@gauravgaur338]

Can u suggest some books on Maratha Empire, including Shivaji, Sambhaji, their battle tactics, then the Peshwa era, third battle of Panipat, confederacy era and their internal power struggles and eventual demise? Thanks in advance, man.

[@JayVardhanSingh]

G.S Sardesai's New History of the Marathas is a great book to read about that it covers that entire period of Maratha History. If you're looking for the Peshwa era and Panipat, Uday S. Kulkarni has written some great books on it. You can find his books on Amazon.

[@anirudh177]

Other than G.S Sardesai, I really liked:- 1."Shivaji and his Times" and "The House of Shivaji" by Jadunath Sarkar. 2. "The History and Culture of the Indian People: Volume 8: The Maratha Supremacy" by R.C Majumdar I suggest reading all the 11 volumes of The History and Culture of the Indian People by Majumdar anyway.

[@nissar_fasil]

Iam curious to know about pre mayuran period of southern india especially in deccan,, We found some brahmi inscription in South india that predates ashokan edicts., But we don't find any writen inscription in mahajanapad And even in ashokan edit they mention about pandya, chola, keralaputra, and sathiyaputra, who are this sathiyaputra? I think we still missing something, can you agree with me jay?

[@JayVardhanSingh]

The dating of the Brahmi inscriptions from South Indian and Sri Lanka doesn't necessary show that these are older than Ashokan period. Some scholars have pointed out that the methodology wasn't correct. Even if you believe that the methodology was correct, the dates given in are in range. So we don't know the exact date here also. In my view, there're enough evidence to suggestion that Brahmi was introduced in South India around the 4th/3rd century BC. About the question of not finding written evidence. Although this is true, but when we look at Ashokan inscription which are the oldest incriptions available. You see a script that has matured. This means that the script was used before this period and it had ample time available for its development. Most scholars are of the opinion that Brahmi emerged around 8th -6th century in Northern India. About Sathiyatputra, there's debate. Most likely they were the minor chiefs of Tamilakam who later lost their power because of the rise of the three crowned kings.
