Correction - At 3:59, it is a peacock that is depicted, not a Garud. Apologies for the mistake.

[@AbcDef-gw4dg]

Peacock is the Vehicle of Lord Kumar/Skanda/Kartikey

Jay bhai never stop these videos, you are unparalleled in the depiction of Indian history and covering the meticulous details of various eras. Been watching you for quite sometime now and it's always a moment of joy when you upload. Thanks bhai.

[@JayVardhanSingh]

Thanks bhai for the kind words

[@phillipii4709]

Tormaan is like the Philip II of macedon in many regards. Phillip also tried to portray himself as a greek. Philip also conquered much of hellenic society which became base for Alexander to move beyond.

[@aryanjaiswal8935]

The diff is Tormama was only abt to do that for a short time due to many factors and was finally defeated..

[@Dodlo32888]

In terms of choronological events then yes. But the difference is Philip is already a Greek, much more diplomatic and had successor as great as him (or even better than him)!

Wonderful historical informations about indian huns, thank you very much. You are a good historian.

It was dr. Pankaj tandon who identified prakashaditya as tormana.

[@JayVardhanSingh]

Yes, have mention that article in the reference.

Can you explain how the western part of the Indian subcontinent(today's pak&afgan regions) fall faster to the Arabic, Turkish invasions?Why they were easily converted to islam?Why didn't they have a strong kingdom/empire there to defend the subcontinent? Can you point out those his

[@dhruvsingh7215]

They didn't easily fell Arab invasion of India was a failure even sindh army cause heavy casualties turkik army were more successful due to political and they had batter technology but when Indian power adopted it they too fell

[@ayushkumarsingh3029]

That's half truth because Rajput clans of Guhils and Pratiharas defeated further arab invasions after their conquest of sindh and multan. Also after the death of mahmud of ghazni ,his successors invasions and raids were both checked and repulsed by Chauhans and Gahadavals Rajputs.

[@kraut1982]

Fall fast as compared to what? As compared to Sassanian Empire or Sindh, eastern Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan were under central asian non islamic Turk Shahi till 822. Then under Hindu Shahi dynasty till 1026. Hindu Sahi ruled Kabul till 962. Ghor was islamized around 1011-20. Lalitaditya of Karkota dynasty ruled and defended his kingdom of Kashmir, Northern Pakistan and Western Afghanistan. Later Lohara dynasty ruled in Kashmir till 1320 afterwards it came under Shah Mir Dynasty.

Less ruthless than Muslim Turks but the Huns were the first to destroy the Takshashila University.

[@cheapthrills9035]

Really. Last time I checked their ancestry is from janmjeya, son of raja parikshit. Why are these historians not taking into account all the vanshavalis of rajputs that they have. When are they going to visit the rajas and ask for original records of that period??

3:55 Did all historians misidentify the Mayur (peacock) as the Garud( Eagle). It’s literally the elephant in the room that no one wants to address. 🤐

[@gameruleworld.1889]

Actually yes it is lord karthikeya vehicle peacock which first introduced in coin under 4th gupta ruler kumar gupta he was devote of lord karthikeya

[@JayVardhanSingh]

Thanks for pointing this out. This is a mistake on my side. Historians do not identify it as Garud. It is characterised as Peacock by historians.
