@Hand Cuffs u r ignorant boy. U should ask this to congress, Nehru and Ambedkar the founding fathers of the nation about making directive principal on making Sanskrit based Hindi a national language. Maybe u have more wisdom and vision than founding fathers. If this is not done India will lose its soft power thru all encroaching English which will soon replace every language in India in next 100 to 150 years bcoz English will remain only language of convenience, affairs, colloquial communication and knowledge if we don't have our own national language. This was the Vision of founding fathers. Having pride in Sanskrit and Tamil and our regional mother tongue is one issue and having our own national language to create our soft power is different matter. Once u allow English to percolate thru souls of Ur next generations making it sole medium of communication it will take away all culture, philosophy, value system along with our languages and will completely superimpose western culture, philosophy and value system thru English literature. Today despite being Indian we tend to read English newspaper, book , content than in our Indian languages. Convenience of communication in English will kill our entire civilizational heritage. China, Japan, Korea, Russia, Germany, France every country has their national language only we are giving red carpet to English to completely replace our Indian languages and completely run over our culture just bcoz we can't agree upon one indian language as a national language of consensus.

I was born and raised in Tamil Nadu. I never felt it was ever a problem or dispute as to which of these two languages is really the oldest. I think this occupation to prove which is the oldest is really born from insecurities and divisiveness fed by politicians with agendas and by outsiders who want to keep us (Indians) divided as Aryans and Dravidians (a theory that has never really been proven in any scientific manner). Sanskrit is called Deva Bhasha and this is hinted in our ancient Vedic scriptures so I never felt Sanskrit could be any "less" important in significance to Indic culture. The term 'Jyotisha Sastra' in Sanskrit is called 'Jyotidam' in ancient Tamil - the sounds of these two ancient languages have more commonalities if we probe more deeply. I admire both ancient languages (Tamil and Sanskrit) equally and I wish I had learnt Sanskrit (which sadly I couldn't). As Indians we must respect both languages for how ancient they are and how they have both influenced our civilisation in various ways. They have more in common than apart. Tamil literature has wonderful Vedic teachings to compliment our spiritual culture. Tamil has even influenced as far out as Korea (I know this because I have Korean friends and we both use the same words to refer to 'mother' and 'father'). I also think our present dating mechanism is inadequate to objectively measure these languages since all these languages have undergone tremendous changes over a long period of time and have had many influences to them. A lot of these changes have not been recorded into hard evidence for us to excavate and be absolutely certain of their origins. The Tamil we speak today is not the same as the ancient Tamil Brahmi script of olden times. Similarly Sanskrit as well has undergone many forms of evolution ranging from Panini to Pali and so on. But I agree with Abhijit, I personally think Sanskit may have been the oldest language, although the evidence at present is inadequate to conclusively state it. What I believe is that both Tamil and Sanskrit evolved from an ancient (common) Brahmi script and both Tamil and Sanskit in their oldest forms may have had many common sounds and common roots linking them, which over time evolved in a different form. As Abhijeet rightfully pointed out, many Tamils believe Sage Agastya gave us the language of Tamil. But this needs more serious scholarly study and not opinions built up on emotions as to which is oldest. If you go to Sri Lanka, the Sinhalese they speak has many common sounds to Sanskrit which suggests that geographically Sanskrit sounds did influence the extreme South as well. Even Kanada and Telugu have many common Sanskrit sounds. This also makes me think ancient Tamil had many common links to Sanskrit and could not have evolved in any separate form. If you read David Frawley, who is a Vedic scholar, he believes the original Vedic civilisation and culture originated in the South, possibly near Tamil Nadu or Karnataka. I am not making this up. This is actually based on his speculative scholarly research. Again, I am not saying he is right about the origins but we need a more rigorous scholarly study to uncover and unpack what is the true dating and origins of Vedic civilisation. It is my view that the ancient Tamil Culture and the Vedic Culture are not independent or separate from each other but are actually the same in their roots. We all share the same DNA, worship the same Gods, share the same cultural and spiritual fabric which ties this ancient civilisation as a whole. In South we follow an ancient Siddha medicine system which is not so different to Ayurveda when you actually understand the principles of both. The traditions of Vedic culture and Tamil culture have many common elements linking them together - so instead of seeing the common links we sit here concerned over differences of North and South (we have become the very thing invaders hoped we'd become - how sad is that).

You don't really have to worry about the extinction of Samskrutam. It is still studied all over the world because many ancient texts of various fields are in Samskrutam and for many centuries they are being studied and decoded. Not just linguists but scientists of various fields also study Samskrutam texts. It's not a language which common people use and that doesn't mean that it's dying. People are becoming more tamsik so they are using languages which are corruptions of Samskrutam in one way or other. When they become more satvik they will automatically be drawn towards Samskrutam. Also, Vedas talk about Dharma and not Hinduism. The word "Hindu" doesn't exist in any of the Vedas, Vedangas, Upanishads, Darshanas, etc.

[@sammitramanan6404]

I think that because of the way Sanskrit grammar is structured it was completely meant for subjects that deal with knowledge like science, philosophy, math, economics, also for literature and formal uses like government documents, etc. Tamil seems to have been used colloquially. So perhaps the people who settled in the south wanted an easier language for colloquial purposes, given the amount of root words and complications of grammar in Sanskrit. So if this theory is true then Tamil and Sanskrit could have coexisted, and later on Tamil was also explored well, given the amount of Tamil literature, and many other things.

Prakrit and Tamil are languages much older than Sanskrit. There is no evidence of Sanskrit in the Mitani inscription.

[@rawadosa90210]

My mother tongue is Hindi, I've studied Sanksrit in school and I don't care whether Tamil is older or Sanskrit. I just wish people stop with this bullshit comparison and start learning about each other's culture to discover the common thread. I for one am very interested in learning both Tamil (from scratch) and Sanskrit (I've forgotten a lot of what I was taught in school)

Older does not necessarily make it better. Sanskrit is special because this was developed with concious effort to improve spoken languages and literature, with proper grammar and structure. With contribution from all areas of India through leaning centers. We have many such examples. Concious effort to improve collective fitness = yoga Concious effort to improve collective eating = Ayurveda Concious effort to improve music = Hindustani,Carnatic music Concious effort to improve dance = Natya shastra Concious effort to improve speaking = Sanskrit Let’s use it because we have spent thousands of years to develop it Tamil Hindi no different from Kannada or telugu

Guys I have got the answer from one of the ancient tamil siddhars Thirumoolar from his book Thirumandhiram..a treatise on yoga,tantra,rituals,etc..in song number 65 he says- 65: Revealed Alike In Sanskrit and Tamil Devoid alike of rain and summer's gift of dew Even the flashing lake had lost it's vernal bloom Then did He in Sanskrit and Tamil at once, Reveal the rich treasure of His Compassion to our Lady Great. In song number 66 he says- Life takes its birth, stands preserved awhile, And then its departure takes; caught In that momentary wave of flux, Him we glimpse, The Lord who in Tamil sweet and northern tongue Life's mystery revealed. Mystery solved by a siddhar itself..both are tremendously beautiful languages..let's bring back the ancient culture and beauty of India back❤

Many many evidence show that Sanskrit is older than tamil , but tamil is still alive while Sanskrit is becoming less active but now a day gaining popularity.

We should take little steps towards communication in Samskrit, bcz the southern languages and Samskrit are similar, and both people will have to do same efforts to learn it, it would rise brotherhood among all parts of India, and will helpful to revive Vedic culture.

If you go by the scriptures Murugan Puranam/ Skand Puran clearly says that Sanskrit speaking Brahmin Agastya Muni created Tamil. Even Tamils oldest grammar book, a first sangam era book called Agattiyam/Akattiyam was created by Sanskrit speaking Brahmin Agattiyar /Agastya Muni. & another Sangam era book called Tolkappiyam was written by Tolkappiyar. He was one of the 12 disciple of Agastya Muni.

❤️Hey sir I love your work and have a suggestion for you, my parents (1970's born) have been brainwashed by the post colonial era and are unaware of India's great past. They do not know much about history I want to empower them with truth I tried to show them your videos but they couldn't understand most of the things as they are unaware of their chronological order. If you create a series of history explanation videos in a chronological order, we can show those videos to everyone in india (of almost any age group like 12 - 60) and give them a better perspective. I know I'm asking a lot from you but this will create a major paradigm shift. ❤️ And will be beneficial in India as well as humanity's progress.Your present videos are relevant for only a small section of society (who are well read in diverse, world history) I say this with due respect ❤️

To North friends, I am a Malayalee. Pitha and Matha of Malayalam are Sanskrit and Tamil respectively. We only have a problem when you impose a young language like Hindi on to us. In Kerala, we learn Hindi for 5 years at school. India had a 3 tier language system to be introduced at schools. We follow it. How many of you follow it? We think you dont give enough respect to this ancient language Tamil. Even history books glorify Mughal empire where as the great Chola empire with its powerful navy base is given a small paragraph. Thats the issue?

Well said sir at 3:07. This Tamil and Sanskrit fight is motivated by Tamil politics in order to keep people fighting and restrict them from learning an old Hitler strategy. If they keep fighting, their knowledge will deplete and thus creates no awareness about our ancient history thereby limiting our knowledge about modern world. Our ancient scripts teach us how to live and how to behave in a very good manners. If we people get that knowledge the politicians truth will blown off. That is what I believe that politicians are doing right now in Tamil Nadu. Great for this information sir. Hats off!!!😇

[@dr.ananthakrishnavemuri733]

The comment section is lovely. Mature people. The story is simple. Both are indian. Sanskrit came from the sound of shiva s damaruka. The Vedas. Then upangas like upanishads (vedantas) have come. Various sages contributed to them. It is subrahmanya or muruga who created Tamil. He came down to South India from kailasa (long story). Agastya Maha muni was forced to come to South of vindhyas from Kashi (to prevent vindhya parvata from growing taller and taller). So, muruga or subrahmanya while explaining about Kashi to agastya (Kashi khandam of skanda puranam), he explained about Tamil. He propagated it. The very same sages changed the sound of vedas differently in the South. That's a reason why all 4 southern states have different way of doing things. As a telugu person, we revere sanskrit and read it everyday (in telugu script). I read it. I also love Tamil. Lot of words are interlinked between them. Stop fighting. Britishers created this Aryan, dravidian nonsense. Politicians are using it.

#AskAbhijit Should India rename its name to ' Bharat ' or ' Hindustan ' ?

[@conscious_being]

Bharat is how the ancient people of the country referred to it. Hindustan and India (both derived from the river Sindhu) are names used by foreigners for the same country. Renaming it from one foreigners' version, India, to another, Hindustan, makes little sense unless you believe the Iranians (Persians) are somehow not only superior to the Greeks/Europeans but also the natives of Bharat and the name they used is superior.

I like ur approach. I'm from north. But to be honest, Tamil is way older than sanskrit. So many evidences are there. This youtuber only talks about archeological evidence. And the evidence which he mentions in this video is fake. The mitanni inscription which he talks about is of hurrian language. Not sanskrit. Idk why he is telling fake evidence, The oldest archeological evidence of sanskrit is just 100bce while for tamil is 600bce. And there are scientific evidences too to say tamil is way far older than sanskrit. But I like ur approach. Stay with the same

This language had a presence even around 5,000 years ago. According to a survey, 1863 newspapers are published in the Tamil language only every day. At present, the number of speakers of Tamil language is around 7.7 crores. This language is spoken in India, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia. 1. Sanskrit Language World’s oldest language is Sanskrit. The Sanskrit language is called Devbhasha. All European languages ​​seem inspired by Sanskrit. All the universities and educational institutions spread across the world consider Sanskrit as the most ancient language. It is believed that all the languages ​​of the world have originated from Sanskrit somewhere. The Sanskrit language has been spoken since 5,000 years before Christ. Sanskrit is still the official language of India. However, in the present time, Sanskrit has become a language of worship and ritual instead of the language of speech. All the auspicious works performed in Hindu religion are recited by Veda Mantra, whose language is Sanskrit.
