[@bhnuc]

Bajaj's were thrived on Licence Raj in post independence India. They monopolized the industries. Sr. Bajaj's rant against present establishment is clearly his frustration of Congress going out of power. Inefficient engineering machines like Bajaj Scooters sold in millions because there were no competition to them. They killed competition due to proximity to Nehruvian establishment. As soon as other good option in market came we never brought those old inefficient machines. Bajaj was forced to innovate only after they faced tough competitive markets post liberalisation.

Mughals used Persian as their court language only after Jehangir, Shersa suri kicked out Mughals out from India that time Jehangir was the Mughal king , so Jehangir took Refuge in Persia ( Iran) the Persian king helped Jehangir to took back Mughal kingdom from Shersa suri and eventually Shersa suri lost and Jehangir adopted Persian language as their Official.

[@3xyzful]

Thank you Abhijit for your research and perspective on the History of the Parsi community. When you started reading the letter even I laughed at the ridiculousness of the question! Especially when the lady's surname is Gandhi/ Gandhy. It's a pity though to see the comment section taking an opportunity to misconstrue your content, generalize and spew negativity towards the whole community. "That were favoured by the British for no fault of theirs" (in your words). Historically the community had promised the King Jadi Rana while seeking refuge, that they would not convert anyone into the Zoroastrian Faith and serve the ruler, who so ever it may be loyally (among a few other rules that have been adhered to). I am a Parsi Indian. It's my community, just like someone is a Marwadi etc. Community is something you identify with in terms of customs tradition language and in this instance Faith. Of course there may be ignorant, small minded idiots that are Parsi, just like there are in ANY community, so its unfair to give a general label based on one's personal interaction with the said black sheep. Having said that, the current generation of KZbin students seem to want to take the History lesson as an opportunity for "pay back". (I am referencing all History worldwide not just this particular topic relating to Indian History). We can't change the past, we can certainly learn from it and ensure we have a better future. The Parsi's have always acknowledged and been grateful for the refuge given to us, we adopted so many Hindu traditions and 1200 years later we are proud, loyal INDIANs that have live peacefully with Hindu Muslim Christian Jew..everybody! It's unfair to demonize us because SOME got rich and we're favored by the Btitish, or because we were graciously given refuge by the King, or because we are not Hindu. Abhijit made his point in his response, perspectives may differ to the facts. Guys use your brains, do your own research, collect data and then come to your OWN conclusion . Please try not to be too judgemental and possibly interact with the community if you have'nt .We are dwindling in numbers, and there is much to learn from everyone. Knowledge is power. We are One. Peace and love.

[@ajss3756]

Hindus are the son of this soil. Today they r divided in Jain, Buddhist, Sikh and Sanatani. They r persecuted longer than any other community on this planet. I am from South Mumbai and know Parsis very well. Have two Parsi friends too. Your understanding of Abhijits comment is wrong here. Many Hindus, Muslims all served British to gain advantage so he is not targeting single community. He is just stating facts. It is fact that Parsi's have been living in India for more than 1000 years and mixed as they promised. In fact out of India migrants at some point in ancient past ( yet to be proven with DNA study). what you think as payback is actually realization of fight to save this civilization which allowed refuge to you guys. You may be still sickular bt many hindus no longer want to be one and will not allow missionaries or Islamic radicala to rule agn. India is only secular till Hindus r in majority. After 1000 yrs you have forgotten atrocities of islamic invasion to persia. I would suggest to stick to facts instead being sickular. Islam cannot co-exist with any other religion. Accept the historic facts as they were. Parsis were only progressive community in 1947 and prior and for a reason stated above. Past cannot b changed bt we shd not repeat our mistakes from past by knowing it well

Chavdas are Kshatriya, from the ancient western India, when the present day states of Gujarat and Rajasthan, were not separated. For example, Mularaja Solanki I, was a Suryavanshi Rajput ruling over Gujarat . His Queen Consort was Naikidevi, a Chalukya princess from Goa, who took over the empire post his early demise. Her massive victory in the battle of Gadarghatta, deterred any raider in the future from entering India via the route of the fierce Rani’s empire so they took the longer one through Rajasthan.

My 2 points with respect to the topics discussed in this video: 1) The stooges of Brits (and perhaps of Mughals earlier) were allotted lands, which were called as "Namak haram jaagir" (property obtained by selling one's conscience and other things associated with conscience) 2) In military, there are ample cases of differential treatment. Not just between General and a subordinate officer, but more so between commissioned officers and non-commissioned soldiers. Do you know that if a soldier loses, even, both of his legs on the battlefield he will get 10% of what an officer will get if he gets his finger cut? In previous governments era, the military establishments have literally treated soldiers as their "jaagir". And you would think that current govt is graceful? Better yes, graceful not even in dreams. OROP is still not implemented in the real spirit it was supppsed to be. Fail to understand why such colonial and differential treatment, when we are removing everything that reminds us of colonial era?

I agree that preferential treatment is what distinguishes a lot of times and helps a group to grow enormously But which community who is sitting at the top now didn't got the preference? Chitpavans did nepotism in maratha Empire Marathas, Jats and other land owner castes got huge swathes of land just because of their caste Rajputs got preference and land because of marital relations between them and Mughals Brahmins in India in various regions were give huge land holdings either as dan or because they got into power and didn't had to pay taxes Khatris, lohanas and many other business communities were also exempted to pay taxes Bengali brahmins used to get many villages which is very well mentioned in their own origin stories So how come these communities are getting overlooked when they too literally got free benefits from the authorities and it is a big reason that they are powerful today?

#askabhijit do you thinks that Mr. GANDHI SAW Mr. Nehru as his modern day successor? and what actually made some lawyer of SA suddenly become GANDHI THE GREAT in 1920s onwards till date ?

Abhijit sir, please don't go down this track. It is unfair to Target a single community for some cheap British political trick done several generations ago. What is important is that they are a productive and upstanding community who contribute to the well being of India Today. And providing shelter and succour to a supplicant is a Dharmic duty, not something to be flaunted.

You should make videos like voice behind images or some clips that would be nice

ji....our ancestors are saurasena kingdom...but settlers since thirteenth century in tamilnadu. we spoke saurashtri or otherwise colloquially as Pazh-kar.....or palkar...palkari. chav- dha ....chapovina ,.. chapo means silk carpet ..vinha means weave.... hence carpet weaving...but would have been one among families from vansh made republic kingdom in ancient Saurashtra kingdom ... need not confuse with east iranic language of Farsi or zorashtru language... totally differed with phonetics sound.. chavda or chapo-dia are before tenth century are saurashtri dynasty for some centuries... now parsi Urdu Turk languages loan words with present Gujarat so saurashtri differed with Hindi Urdu and Gujarati Marathi... it's my personal research ji

[@abhijeetmukherjee24]

Abhijit, I agree with you on Sam Manekshaw. Bangladesh liberation was a collective victory and excellent demonstration of our battle strategist, frontline generals and Intel. I never liked Manekshaw as he disregarded Netaji as if he inherited that duty from his British masters.

[@pramodshastri1995]

#AskABHIJIT I have 2 questions for you sir. 1) I've heard many KZbinrs saying that most of Kashmir occupied by Pakistan is not really Kashmir, but it's a larger part of Jammu and Ladakh. Is it really true? 2) If the King of JK signed and joined the Indian state, why can't we produce that as proof in UN and reclaim the lands which are lost?
