Indians | Ep 1: The Harappans | A Brief History of a Civilization

[@chinmaylenka1679]

I can't believe this top class documentry is free to watch. Thank you The Wire and Namit Arora. It amazes me that Our ancestors where more noble and egalitarian than us right now

[@LillianSteele-u9v]

What makes this more astutely correct is that the gentleman is Indian, knows his topic and discusses the real meaning behind his country's heritage and how it came to be known in a positive way. As a history educator I love this.

my favourite ancient civilization never ceases to inspire awe in my imagination! to think that these peace-loving people who loved the arts, fashion, and travel, had no standing armies, no amassed weaponry, and very little social hierarchy, makes them unique in the 'ancient world' and worthy of our most careful study!

Exactly. Civilization in South India might have existed from the times of Egyptian pyramids.

Who was there in India before 5000 or 10,000 years ago ? Much before the Harappans …. I am really interested in the times when we were not civilized… cause I believe civilization is just our way of describe culture … even pre harappan ppl might have their own social structures … the reason that interests me is because if we go that far the all of the current social divisions get obliterated and we reach an age where we were not yet divided … atleast not along the current social and religious norms

I've disliked and found Indian history the most difficult for it's innumerable dates and names in the vast canon of Indian history which has to be very accurate for board examination.

When I watched these episodes you seem to clearly read my mind that I faced during my school days. Watching this just revives my interest in Indian history.

Vedic culture was developed by indeginious people.

Thanks. Based on sound history which itself has become rare in India today. Just came back from British museum and kind of in awe. Was just thinking of IVC when I was going through the early Egypt ( the carnelian beads and lapis lajuli- must be from ivc( what I have read somewhere). Know so much about Egypt but so little about IVC. It’s unfortunate that we don’t have a Rosetta Stone for harappan language. Along with linguistics can you please also discuss population genetics of IVC and early Indians a bit. There’s been so many genetic studies do with so conclusive results.

There is another documentary series called Story of India by Michael Wood. It is also very interesting.

Great work by Namit and The Wire team!! Wonderful visually rich history of the civilization of the sub-continent!! I have been to both Harappa and Taxilla (Taksashila) sites and their well organized museums. How I wish Indians and Pakistanis could more freely see the shared treasures of their history. Religion seems to have over-ruled what is a shared culture, land and people

Best presentation of a true historian

Commendable effort wire! No matter what the Sanghs think/manipulate, truth must be told

[@arvindsen5658]

Great work. It must be dubbed into regional languages too, for the larger benefit of country.

[@jikkkjvghj]

They will never do that. These are just English brahman for them hindi a and other languages are less important. But I totally agree with your point

[@modernmogli5155]

Wow ❤ , need more such episodes

[@Con_founded]

Some want this to be named 'Saraswati Vedic civilization'. When there's no evidence of vedic religion, laguage or rituals here. Do we need such forced continutity to ancient people in order to feel good about ourselves?

The hypothesis of steppe origin of PIE has been recently refuted by Paul Heggarty, Senior Scientist of Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. According to the latest research, people of IVC used to speak in IA language. Read Heggarty et al. (2023).

@@rajan36742 Lol, There are research papers which claims ivc to be Dravidian language. They are much more research papers supporting this then IA language. So what proof and evidence and arguments the paper makes are important.

[@rajan36742]

@@stalinsampras This 'peer-reviewed' research paper is coming from the researchers of renowned Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. They have refuted steppe origin of PIE on the basis of Linguistics, Archelogical and Genetic evidence. Proto-IA language entered India in the pre-IVC period with CHG/Iran_N ancestry. It's AASI people who were proto-dravidian speakers. IVC = CHG/Iran_N + AASI (Iran_N being the dominant gene) Read the paper first!

Thoroughly enjoyed, waiting for the next one!

Sorry but the Harappans and the Indus Valley Civilization has no connection with subsequent Indian civilizations. You can’t even read the Indus Valley Script. The Aryan Migration Theory is just fact evidenced by your Indo-European language and it’s alien origins in Central Asia, just ask the Tamils.
