'India's influence on Asia, Europe extraordinary' - William Dalrymple tells Anirudh Kanisetti

[@dharmverma7595]

Spanish Moors also invited more than hundred Indian intellectuals to Spain to teach and translate Indian mathematics, astrology, astronomy etc. Church in Europe banned the concept of zero. They called it “invention of devil”. It was adapted only after Fibonacci introduced Indian math again in early thirteenth century.

[@cokedupnormies2651]

Darymple is an 8th generation colonizer and Kanisetti forces atheism in everything he touches so it is cringe onli.

[@MiniNarayanan-yes-its-mii]

Riveting conversation! My curiosity is piqued. Looking forward to reading the book.

[@lalitakalita3701]

Wonderful presentation. Fully agree with Mr Dalrymple’s end remarks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Looking forward to reading this book

I’m glad you cover the maritime silk route too. Was Jesus influenced by Buddhist ideas? He lived not far from this maritime silk route. And what role did the Israelites play in this silk route. The IMEC is trying to revive this maritime silk route but this time including the Arabian peninsula. What a time to write a book on this topic as the age old route is in question again.

[@Hindustani1008]

Jesus was a Buddhist monk who lived in Kashmir for 12 years (lost years by church ) Read the well researched book by Kersten Holger published by Penguin publications but banned in Europe .available on line or in India only

[@show-n5z]

​@@Hindustani1008how do you know, is there any evidence, (concrete, not scriptural or concocted fable ) to prove Jesus came. But there are more than one circumstantial evidence that Jesus never existed.

[@sandyanarayanswami5708]

Excellent interview! I read the book and it is marvellous!

It is a twist of karma that, now that Britain’s global influence has waned, there is a growing appreciation among its people for the contributions, capabilities, and virtues of Indian civilization. When Britain was at the height of its power, its representatives often looked down upon and disparaged Indian culture, loudly projecting an image of superiority while dismissing India’s rich heritage. In those days, Indian achievements and traditions were marginalized or scorned. Today, however, as the world increasingly values diverse cultural perspectives, the depth and legacy of Indian civilization are receiving the recognition they long deserved.

If some Indian would've said the same things most of you would be calling him a WhatsApp University graduate. But when little Willie from Britain says it, people like Anirudh will fawn over it😅

After milking the Mughals Mr. Dalrymple has suddenly become a spokesperson for the Hindu past

[@Dariusdagr8]

Dalrymple has seen the political monsoon winds shifting and decided to unfurl his sails.

5:57 his story on this was different on another podcast where he mentioned he was in Angkor Wat when he got a message on Buddha in Egypt as the inspiration. Why is the contradiction there so?

[@TheGap1967]

[@si8lk]

For a historian I feel Anirudh sometimes is a bit lackadaisical with his choice of words. Eg., the script on the shards was Brahmi and not Tamil as Anirudh mentions.

26:10 so he has a predefined narrative and his research is oriented to find out about it? Got it.

[@cokedupnormies2651]

35:05 they were following it but not everyone was. Like, in a company, the square root of people do half the work. So out of 100 priests, 10 would be alhandvrahmachari and 90 would be doing mediocrity. Those would not rise to the top. Why do you want to paint all with a broad stroke?

Looks like Mr. William has written more about Biddhiam than Hinduism..Looks like he presents Hindus as war mongers rather than peace lovers and Buddhists as peace loving!! Nalanda not only contained books on Buddbism but large number of books on Hinduism as well..He claimed on some other podcast that the Ramayana and Mahavharatha are myths which is false!!

[@MGqueek]

Hindus gods itself are war provocators 😂

[@Kundapur123]

they are myths

Written history is more often than not written on the instruction of some ruler with a political agenda. His power enables legacy building, not necessarily truth. Oral history follows generations of communities, taught by fathers to sons or gurus to disciples. Each generation reaffirms what was taught by the previous generation. The Bible is based on oral history. The travels of St Thomas to south west and south east India is historical fact simply because it is at least partly founded on oral history.

[@rajivranjankumar3316]

Jai bharat

[@show-n5z]

This St. Thomas story has already been debunked by the Church, sir. The Jewish Bible has an oral history, not the Christian Bible.

When a left leaning person like William Darlymple praises Bharath we have to be very careful. Samething West did with Islamic Countries when Soviet Russia invaded Afghanistan. Inorder to prepare Mujahids same tactics was used.

He isn't left leaning. No sane left leaning person would try to whitewash British or Islamic colonialism.
