This Prof Dr Vasant Shinde seems, he cant digest the findings that leads tamil to be an oldest civilization in India. Very jealous.

[@perambu3441]

Vasanth Shinde and Neeraj Rai has deliberately given this interview to misrepresent the evidence-based archaeological excavation results found in Tamil Nadu. The Copper Age did not necessarily precede the Iron Age. Periods may have evolved depending on the resources available in a region.

[@perambu3441]

It is well known that Hindutva interference exists in the Archaeological Survey of India. They have been trying to hide the history of South India for years.

[@Suvedhanapandi]

The problem lies with his understanding about iron. Iron won't exist in an inert and native state like gold. Iron exists in nature as an ore as mostly Iron oxides. And in order to make weapons from iron ore they need to know- 1. How to separate iron from iron ore?(Iron oxides) 2. How to separate the impurities? (Carbon and other metal impurities) 3. How to make it rust free?(by adding carbon and at what percentage will determine quality of iron) And the findings and evidence shows that it is indeed iron found in earth and not from meteorological sources. If so then it is already confirmed that Tamil people had that technology 5300 years back in its final form. So it is already proven that iron technology exists in tamilnadu. No further evidence is needed to prove it any further as it is also found that this is iron from earth and not made from something fallen from the sky😂 (not meteorological iron). So the question now is, how long did it take for the Tamil civilization to perfect this craft of making iron weapons and it will at least take us a few 1000 years back from the already 5300 years. So this Dr. Shinde is either stupid(which isn't the case) or has some bias or political agenda towards Tamil civilization and its ancestry, as it is questioning the legitimacy of 'Sanskrit is the mother of all' theory. He will need some time to adjust his mindset and will eventually come to accept this truth. Truth alone Triumphs.

[@sarunkumarads]

@@perambu3441 Exactly. The archaeology department in India still goes with the mindset of Western civilization of copper should come first before Iron.

[@LaksanaKavi]

Is Shinde an archaeologist Professor? What a funny comment about the TN government doing this research for the last 15 years and publishing many platforms with all the findings for the past few years. He said, "Just read some information. You do not know what the TN did; you come here introducing yourself as archaeologists." You guys can’t accept the truth and scientific proof evidence. Finally, I want to inform you that Tamil is not a language. *Tamil is the Art of life*, and language is the only way for human beings to attain immortality. That is the way our ancestors crafted and created cultures to live humanity. It came from very far away; no one can estimate how it was crafted and lived until now. It is always a living language at any time. Also, Tamil taught us not to be against anything into this universe, but when something harms our autonomy and Tamil identity, we can’t accept it. I want to share some information from millions of Sangam literature, which many Siddars wrote in their Tamil poetry; only the Tamil language can help humans attain enlightenment and immortality. One example from the Sangam literature book is where Kakabhujandars wrote how many thousands of years ago, “the whole universe would reach out to learn the Tamil language and only speak Tamil the entire universe”.

[@perambu3441]

It is well known that Hindutva interference exists in the Archaeological Survey of India. They have been trying to hide the history of South India for years. K. Amarnath Ramakrishna was the first to explore the Rakhigari excavation site, but Vasant Shinde claimed the honor by submitting only papers. In 2017, after a successful excavation in Keezhadi, Tamil Nadu, the ASI immediately transferred Amarnath. ASI did this to thwart Tamil Nadu's excavation success.

to the brothers of north india , only if india accepts everything is from tamil only then north and south will get united until then tamil people never give up the pride of tamil language and so we will have bondage gap between as far as it continued till date ,

North indian excavation: Sanskrit civilization South indian excavation: Indian civilization Nevertheless wanted to help Tamils and in finding their history, stopped archaeological excavations, stopped funding from central govt but if something comes out unavoidably, Northern sanskrit ASI of india, comes to steal it or labelling it as Indian and taking credits 🤡

It is Tamil Civilization... Dont hide the glory of Tamil people

[@leishavignesh5917]

What non-sense !! It's Tamil Nadu and not India..

[@chitrathangaaj8229]

I could see lot of difficulty in north researchers in accepting the facts of south excavation. It has been sent to 5 research labs including international ones and why do these speakers keep saying that there could be adulteration and resultss could be erratic. The central government is not ready to fund for the south excavation and that's precisely the reason why the chief minister took it in hands. Way to go tamilnadu.

[@Kadungon25]

Tamil civilization

[@anunarayanasamy8872]

The oldest civilisation that we know of? Maybe. But the oldest civilisation ever, no. I don't believe we can ever know. What archaeology discovered indicates a possibility of other thriving civilizations around. So who is the older civilizations between the contemporaries back then? I think we will always see a pattern of modernisation and industrialization in the past breaking apart and finding itself again. Definition of humanity.

[@sadenb]

Because Iron is a hard metal . Iron weapons should defeat copper and bronze weapons.

[@RameshLakshmanaperumal]

@@sadenb You cannot argue with people who does not deserve some basic knowledge.

[@Suvedhanapandi]

Iron won't exist in an inert and native state like gold. Iron exists in nature as an ore, mostly as Iron oxides. And in order to make weapons from iron ore they need to know- 1. How to separate iron from iron ore?(Iron oxides) 2. How to separate the impurities? (Carbon and other metal impurities) 3. How to make it rust free?(by adding carbon and at what percentage will determine quality of iron) And the findings and evidence shows that it is indeed iron found in earth and not from meteorological sources. If so then it is already confirmed that Tamil people had that technology 5300 years back in its final form. So it is already proven that iron technology exists in tamilnadu. No further evidence is needed to prove it any further as it is also found that this is iron from earth and not made from something fallen from the sky😂 (not meteorological iron). So the question now is, how long did it take for the Tamil civilization to perfect this craft of making iron weapons and it will at least take us a few 1000 years back from the already 5300 years. So this Dr. Shinde is either stupid(which isn't the case) or has some bias or political agenda towards Tamil civilization and its ancestry, as it is questioning the legitimacy of 'Sanskrit is the mother of all' theory. He will need some time to adjust his mindset and will eventually come to accept this truth. Also handling heat upto 1300°C is not something that can be achieved in a day or two and especially in an age where travelling to present day Pakistan will take many months or a few years.

[@ImayonRaja]

How poor and pathetic the panellists are 🤦‍♂️🤷😅😂 The samples found are weapons, chisels and other materials that common people use!

[@Suvedhanapandi]

Dr Shinde's problem lies with his understanding about iron. Iron won't exist in an inert and native state like gold. Iron exists in nature as an ore as mostly Iron oxides.

(upto 1300°C) And the findings and evidence shows that it is indeed iron found in earth and not from meteorological sources.

[@g.balachandran6688]

Archeologists in India departments were dominated by north Indians with ideological leanings. Instead of running to fellow Archeologists and understand the significance of finding, professionals are biased. Deliberate effort to over rule TN history. There were 40000 stone inscription taken to Mysore and did nothing for past 3 decades. People do not want truth. Their ideologies and preconceived notions take priority. Shame on professionals who cannot digest history.

[@perambu3441]

Vasanth Shinde and Neeraj Rai has deliberately given this interview to misrepresent the evidence-based archaeological excavation results found in Tamil Nadu. The Copper Age did not necessarily precede the Iron Age. Periods may have evolved depending on the resources available in a region.

[@karthickg5702]

You are an archeologist but not read the findings. How can u comment on this? Tamilnadu is not suddenly publishing it... Tamilnadu took 2 years to conform the findings, by sending the finding to several institutions and scholars to verify the findings and methods used to find

Dravidians happened to be more native to India than the Aryans. 2 cents worth of information to be given here; 1) the strategy to push towards Aryans were here during IVC failed due to similarities of graffiti and variants matching 60% to 90% of excavated artifacts in Keezhadi. 2) The recent iron age findings in Tamil Nadu predates IVC. 3) DNA of Oldest human corpse matches with South Indians. 4) The unbiased Nepal Archaeological Institution concluded habitats of Dravidians and Tibetan-Burmese group long existed before arrival of Aryans.5) International History Institutions concluded Sinauli carts not chariots as claimed by ASI.

[@supramaniamveerasamy7925]

Why can't Prof Vasant be direct to the point to accept the discovery of iron 5,500 yrs BC. His reluctance shows he cld probably a Telugu who cld nòt digest the recent findings,in TN. These are the reasons why Tamilian findings and research has always been supressed or prevented.Afterall the findings are in TN ,a rich state which is in India and the world recognises India. Get Tamilian Archeo's in the future to do the research or comment on Archeos matters in TN. There are hundreds of them in India. Sadly,we seem to hve a lot of unscrupulous characters like him in India, that's why until today TN is not able to wake up from economical misery!! It's a disgrace!! I observe from Malaysia

[@anandvr2273]

Iron and charcoal was not fount in same layer, both found in same pot. , so both have nearly same date

My only issue with these people is that they don’t understand the geology of the Southern India as there is no or little Copper reserves in South India. Also, as India moved over a volcanic plume as it moved towards Asia, the minerals deposited would be rich in Iron rather than Copper.
