Latviski rakstu tā ir īsta Mīlestība,ja ko tādu var uzcelt!

Very informative great job lots of great references. Studying history most fall comes from within rather from outside . Russian kill their last king . Its was sad to hear his own son imprisoned his father . We need to learn hear like the hitting people they were destroyed from with in every body wants to be king. So was Rome. And another fact we fastnated with tombs like the pyramid in Egypt and the taj mal in India . So what did we learn from our ancestors learning to get along prevent wars but since everybody wants to rule the world is when we have war . So bottom line can we just get along and have peace on earth

Mam you are great lady 🌹💕

These are the best documentaries about India that I know. Thank you.

The Sufis are regarded as heretics.

Comprehensive! 👍🏻

i am a college student in an asian art class and i have to watch this video and then write a reflective essay.

It would be good for this so called bbc historian journalist to do a documentary on British invasion of India the genocide atrocities theft pillage and plunder that left India in ruins and theft of ancient Indian artifacts housed in British museum's and Kohinoor diamond on queens crown

This so called journalist has handpicked a few monuments and is giving her personal commentary. India has an ancient civilizational hindu history with their amazing out of this world temples and unique architecture. India suffered brutal Islamic invasion for centuries indian temples culture identity destroyed their temples converted to mosque's and countless other atrocities. The discovery of indus valley civilization proves that India is an ancient unique civilization. The country Pakistan and Pakistani people was created in 1947 by British invaders of India and to identify 5000 year old indus civilization to Pakistan is incorrect unless Pakistani people share the same dna as indian people

Calling Ancient architecture as buzzer is Ugly and Rude on your part. I would categorize you as very arrogant. The British arrogance is well indoctrinated. Congratulations to an Indian British.

Awesome ❤

Very well presented ❤ and to mention the real divide we see in India is a work of the British.

RUBBISH!!! PLEASE DO A DETAILED RESEARCH.Don’t spew rubbish of the Congress Era NCERT.

She's so obsessed with her anti Muslim anti mughals agenda the hatred has dripped all over her video

What a pathetic biased views of the host regarding mughals . If mughals were bad and intolerant indian sub continent would have become a Muslim majority region . Host journalist should be discovering the place and telling her history instead she chooses to show her biased

A classic example of how the rich mughals came to loot poor India. Rich countries, even rich men, are well known to loot the houses of the poor.

Shame, most of the mughals who " brought prosperity to the hindoos of India " have modern day descendants living in Pakistan. They have failed to bring prosperity to Pakistan 😂😂

Please note there's no such thing as Islamic science or arts or architecture. Islam has nothing to do with it. These violent invaders only adopted the architecture and arts of the countries they invaded.
Science, arts, music ,medicine, mathematics originated in Hinduism. Samarkand, Persia, Uzbekistan etc still uses the Hindu Numeral System.
If anyone challenges this , then simply ask them which chapter in their 7th century Arabian handbook mentions mathematics, science, arts ,architecture, medicine etc?
Arts? What are the mughals doing depicting living creatures in paintings???
Jokir Naik says it's haraam.
Dance and music? They're haraam!! Ask Jokir Naik.

Akbar had to adopt the hindu concept of ahimsa or non violence and respect for living creatures and he also became a vegetarian. Sanatan dharma ❤

Hi
I'm from UZBEKISTAN, Samarkand City, Babur, Shahjahan, Akbarshahs grand Grand Grandfather used to live
and control all this area TIMUR EMPIRE ( Temurlan ). I really like the documentary, full of history and information. good job well done. U should come to Uzbekistan and see TIMUR's history

Hi from New York, I just finished watching the documentary on Taj and liked it 👍I saw some dilapidated buildings (mumtaj mahal’s eunuch’s residence) which Indian govt has taken no interest in to preserve, as unfortunate. Here in US, our history only goes back to 250+ years (1776) and in India, 500+ years of Mughal history is left for ruins. Documentary was well done and I enjoyed watching it 😊

I guess she's too good to help with the rowing.

She is not a genuine Indian. She is here only for BJP election Campaign and to create division among us ( hindu and muslim).

once again,
when religion is used by a ruler to designate outcasts (ironically, someone of no caste),
it has the deadliest consequences.
as we have been forced to witness time and again,
in human history.

yet another attack on the british buy the british bull corp

This is s documentary on Mughsls

Excellent history lesson from which we should embrace and learn what Akhbar envisoned for the vast diversity which is India today.

A beautiful drinking vessel holds the life giving cool drinking water just as well as a fine wine. The symbolism could have been presented better.

Our future is not in space or artificial intelligence, but in this past: tolerance, the cult of beauty, encouragement of the development of science and a certain contempt for wealth and death.

Wonderful documentary. Thank you. It would be interesting to track down the descendants of Mumtaz Mahal.

Jodha was NOT Akbar's wife. She was the wife of his son, Jehangir and daughter of Fat King {Mota Raja} of Jodhpur. Akbar's wife was Harkhabai, the daughter of the king of Amer [now Jaipur].

Hindu was name givrn by Greeks after the river

Cultural affinity and affirmation living abroad

Does anyone know who the presenter is please?

Pakistan has so much to offer to the world in history . As well as India . I love this series . I want to travel to borh countries .

What's the name of the first background song?

Aurangzeb is a popular Mughal emperor in Pakistan, but no mention of Akbar. Draw your own conclusions. Gen. Zia ul Haq has an uncanny resemblance to Aurangzeb. India and Pakistan are like the summer and the winter. They are the opposites, but there can’t be one without the other. One can never know the South Asia without knowing both the countries.

You should thanks to Persian that civilised the Mongolian and than came to India after 400 years later and created such magnificent memories and architecture from Persian

Very nice series well made. I was there in India last month. Walking amongst the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar’s Tomb, Jama Masjid, and many others, I was truly awe inspired seeing up close the treasures hand crafted by the Mughal Empire over many years.

Wow what bull shit the painting is also mugal art lol? Mugal were invaders, they just refurbished the building to call it their own creation. There are other building that survived to the south of india. The taj mahal is no fake. just to bury a dead ?

You're so cool 😎

I truly cried seeing the brutality of the British abuse of the people of India. I obviously knew this history, I guess it’s a whole different thing to see some of it, I can’t even imagine suffering from that. 😢

Sikhs influence totally white washed out of history in this "documentary" . Sikhism and Sikh empire not even mentioned- this is ridiculous

Babur first impression of ‘Sinduo’ aka Hind Region was Absolutely correct 🤣. By the way ‘Hindu’ term is mispronunciation of Sinduo.

Pri Islamic India was very difficult and different from mughal

Outstanding and enthralling.
