[@dailyui636]

Thank you Mr. Chavda ❤😊

[@SomChakra1805]

I've waited a long time for this... and it was worth it. Fascinating, informative-learned a lot of new things from this episode. I'll be looking forward to the next ones.

[@Space_Aman]

Wow if only history was taught like this in schools, well summarised and excellent discussion.. looking forward for more!

[@grimsobad8545]

Another masterpiece! The guest is a polymath, well versed in both history and classical dance!!

[@subhamoy9]

It will be something from 100 best author's book, with Abhijit sir's knowledge touch. Interesting!!

[@rebeccacolvin7886]

I know this doesn't have as many views as you'd like, but this is some of the best KZbin Content and rarely enriching, or highly nutritious content I've come across in about a year. Subscribed.

[@Katiresan-o9d]

Mr Chavda's history narrating is very very interesting, worth listening to all his episodes to come

[@TheHZ]

Great start to the series, and very interesting way of presentation, plus a subtle way of book recommendations as well, which is always good.

[@NirvanaShanks]

Great start to the series! Loved how you broke down the foundational aspects of America with such clarity and depth. Looking forward to how you explore its cultural and geopolitical evolution in the upcoming episodes!

[@western_lord]

Loved the thumbnail of the video.. can't wait for the next part.

[@ShubhankarKulkarni99]

Great finally this podcast! Was looking forward to see it for many days!

[@kushagraverma8864]

Wow sir this was just one of the best episode i have watched related to America. So many new this to learn hear.

[@pranaypaul6361]

What an excellent start to the much-anticipated Understanding America series! This episode provided valuable insights into the historical context of this world region and how it evolved into what it is today. I’ve taken note of the book reference mentioned and will certainly be ordering it. I truly appreciate this approach and hope you continue sharing book recommendations with each episode. Ultimately, this series should aim to build a comprehensive mental model of America’s global dominance-how it began, how it expanded its influence, and, as a request, also explore the consequences this has on the rest of the world today. Perhaps we can even gain insights into where it’s headed in the future. I wholeheartedly agree that the focus should be on understanding without judgment or biases that could distort the historical narrative. This is an incredible beginning. Wishing Abhijit Sir great success with this podcast-your dedication shines through! And thank you, Kheersana Ma’am, for hosting such a thought-provoking discussion. Hopefully, this journey will help us learn the history of this part of the world in a truthful way, free from the distortions of our biased textbooks.

[@BeneluxMapperr]

Was eagerly waiting for this for a long time ❤❤ Thank you sir

[@gauravjaatmamli5693]

I don’t know why but, I love listening to you sir. Excellent representation which triggers one’s curiosity. You deserve millions of views on each video. Love you sir ❤

[@xzp198]

Excellent episode, great start. Loved the entire podcast. Learnt a lot of new information. Thank you for picking up this topic. Sometimes we don't know what we want and then someone thinks of it and one realizes oh, that's what I wanted. I feel this is going to be an excited journey. Thank you for all your efforts. I understand the the views on the videos are not as large as it should be given the effort you make, this is sad on audience part but we , the little audience, truly appreciate what you do. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are great. 2 hours of your podcast goes by like time flies off. One request though, 100 episodes on just USA, I am not sure the topic will need these many, do try to make 20 odd episodes, I mean I am just guessing if 100 is what it needs then so be it. I am all for it. Once again, Thank you.

[@western_lord]

Finally it's here!! Yayyyyy🤯🤯

[@ultimate_power_a1]

Just started the podcast and thank you abhijit ji as always to enlighten us on so many topics. Will be following this series carefully as i understand the importance of this. To conquer the world, we must know who will be on our opposition

[@sn8159]

Nice one sir . Pls make a series of understanding india also if possible . America is fine and all but our history is barely understood by majority of the audience

[@arindambaisya]

Just loving this series!

[@gita_007]

Who is this lady, you should have introduce her

[@angadsinghoberoi]

Read the description

[@GodWasAlive-p4v]

She's a vassal of EMPEROR CHAVDA

[@mr.fearless7594]

I dont see any excitement on her face or in her voice except uhm, hmm throughout the whole conversation and it's kind of irratating. She is not disturbing but distracting.

[@kunalkrishh1004]

Read the description madam

[@Qwerkywoop]

​@@mr.fearless7594she is introvert maybe

[@hemanthreddy7072]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom sir...! Big fan.

[@amoghavarshanripatunga]

A huge number of the natives also succumbed to the diseases that were brought by the Europeans. The natives has no immunity to European diseases. Not sure how Abhijit forgot to mention that. That's a very important fact to remember.

[@patman-bp3qg]

Same reason sentinelese are in danger from outsiders

[@sn8159]

@@Concentrateforfsakeoh really . Deep state is his favourite word he uses it all the time 😅

[@adventureswithmarsh]

There were other voyages to the Americas by Vikings, Welsh, Gaelic. They made it farther South. St Brendan the Explorer, Prince Henry Sinclair, John Cabot was following stories from Sailors. Chicora tells Allyon of the stranded Gaelic descendants who lived in Duhare. Peter Martyrs De Orbe Novo tells it truly.

Great initiative

[@bestcocbaseswithlink5069]

Big fan of your work, AC-I've been following your content for four years! However, the podcast feels cluttered with unnecessary details that one may forget in a few days or weeks-heck, even you might forget some of them! No one has that much time. I suggest condensing it into 10-20 episodes to focus on the essentials rather than stretching it over 100+ episodes.

[@harshdubey2006]

what a great initiative

[@Trupti_Patil_]

Loved it.. ❤💯

[@BeneluxMapperr]

Great start sir

[@Anonymous-er5iv]

Fantastic

[@mananchopra6519]

great

[@revenantwolzart]

It should be 50 episodes for 50 stars and states

[@astassiaro6695]

I'd appreciate it if you could make more of this😃

[@siddharth_behere]

I hope doctrine of Chrstian Discovery and papal bull of 1493 of dividing world between Spain and Portugal discussed someday.

[@shumbuk4383]

I love the idea. A great book on American history I've read is by Loewen-Lies my teacher told me. I had a question around 43:30 where it was said the natives could be attracted by the shining beads.. I forgot what Columbus used to coerce the natives other than violence but I remember from the book I noted that they were wearing earrings of gold and jewelry and that Columbus' pirates were shocked at the plentiful supply of precious stones..he went back and convinced the crown to give him more ships to plunder the country..and used the natives to mine for as much as their land held (oh this was mentioned at 54:30)..in the process killing the majority of the people through inhuman conditions and plain murder (ahh you mentioned this at the end 1:14:00 but the thing is De La Casas was there from the beginning..it seemed he was always bothered by the atrocities and that's why Columbus was arrested upon his return to Europe..of course he got out...interesting, I have to re-read this area)..so that he had to look elsewhere for 'help' and got slaves from Africa who were hardier and didn't die as easily from the brutal treatment..and that's how the Caribbean became populated by African people and we got jerk chicken......at least that is the version I read.

[@umasankartirur1808]

Brahmagupta had mentioned about sudhapura

[@warmachine711]

Sir, Apart from your knowledge your english is also good.

[@sumitl9711]

#AskAbhijit AC Sir, one question always intrigues me. How were the Europeans able to capture the unknown lands with such thin numbers of their own people? How were they able to subdue and enslave the locals in their native land?

[@bpvineethkrishna9553]

Christianity

[@kushangpatel983]

Technological superiority!

[@Hyronium]

If you havent watched vinland saga try it you will get many references better about lief,thorfinn,gudrid..... And its a great show

[@mahishreshtha3343]

#AskAbhijit Sir, Why do the terms BC and AD exist? Why can't we simply say "years ago"?

[@shashwatparth3672]

1:24:56 because English managed battle of plassey 1756,while spanish never set foot in actual India.

[@Rushgod213]

good start
