In Episode 9 of Immortal India with Amish, we dive into the fascinating global impact of ancient India. From dominating trade routes and maritime exchanges to revolutionising metallurgy and weapon designs, India’s innovations left a mark across continents. Discover how Indian fabrics and spices became prized commodities across the world, and how Indian storytelling traditions travelled to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, shaping cultures and histories worldwide. Join Amish Tripathi as he uncovers the extraordinary legacy of ancient India’s influence on the world.

Immortal India with Amish के 9th episode में, हम प्राचीन भारत के वैश्विक प्रभाव की रोमांचक कहानी में डूबते हैं। प्राचीन भारत ने trade routes और maritime exchanges पर अपना दबदबा बनाया। इसके metallurgy और weapon designs दुनिया भर में प्रसिद्ध थे। भारतीय fabrics और spices विभिन्न महाद्वीपों में कीमती वस्तुओं के रूप में मशहूर हो गए। भारत की storytelling traditions Southeast Asia, Middle East, Africa, और Europe तक फैलीं, और उन्होंने वहां की संस्कृतियों और इतिहास को आकार दिया। Amish Tripathi के साथ जुड़ें, जब वे प्राचीन भारत की दुनिया पर प्रभाव करने वाली इस अद्भुत विरासत को उजागर करते हैं।

इस Immortal India with Amish के एपिसोड में प्रसिद्ध लेखक Amish Tripathi प्राचीन भारतीय समाज में महिलाओं की महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका पर चर्चा करते हैं। वह औपनिवेशिक धारणाओं और गलतफहमियों को चुनौती देते हुए यह उजागर करते हैं कि प्राचीन भारत दुनिया के सबसे प्रगतिशील समाजों में से एक था, जहां महिलाओं को महत्वपूर्ण स्वतंत्रता और सम्मान प्राप्त था। अहिल्या बाई जैसी शासक, गार्गी और लोपामुद्रा जैसी विदुषी और ऋषिकाएं, और गुजरात के वल्लभी जैसे विश्वविद्यालयों की संस्थापक महिलाएं, भारत की बौद्धिक और सांस्कृतिक धरोहर में गहरा योगदान देती थीं।
Amish बताते हैं कि विदेशी आक्रमणों और उनसे जुड़ी हिंसा ने इस समानता के आदर्श को धीरे-धीरे कमजोर कर दिया और समाज में पितृसत्तात्मक संरचनाओं को बढ़ावा दिया। औपनिवेशिक कथाओं ने भारत की छवि को और भी विकृत कर दिया, और हमारे देश को एक “बर्बर समाज” के रूप में पेश किया। हालांकि, आधुनिक भारतीय महिलाएं अपना समान स्थान फिर से हासिल कर रही हैं, राष्ट्र की प्रगति में सक्रिय रूप से भाग ले रही हैं और एक पुनरुत्थानशील भारत की कहानी में अपनी महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभा रही हैं।

In this episode of Immortal India with Amish, celebrated author Amish Tripathi delves into the vital role of women in ancient Indian society. Challenging colonial narratives and misconceptions, he highlights how ancient India was among the world’s most progressive societies, where women enjoyed significant autonomy and respect. From rulers like Ahilya Bai, to rishikas (equivalent to prophets) and scholars such as Gargi and Lopamudra, and even university founders like those at Vallabhi in Gujarat, women contributed profoundly to India’s intellectual and cultural legacy.
Amish explains how foreign invasions and associated violence led to a gradual erosion of this egalitarian ethos, reinforcing patriarchal structures. Colonial narratives further distorted India’s image, to label it as a barbaric society in need of ‘White Saviours’. However, modern Indian women are reclaiming their rightful place, actively participating in the nation’s progress and contributing to the unfolding story of a resurgent India.

In this enlightening episode of Immortal India with Amish, author Amish Tripathi explores the misunderstood history of Sati, joined by renowned historian Padma Shri Prof. Meenakshi Jain. Together, they unravel the myths surrounding Sati and its colonial misrepresentation as a widespread, scripture-mandated practice.

Prof. Jain provides compelling evidence, highlighting how British propaganda presented Sati to portray Indian culture as barbaric and justify colonial rule. A simple list of widows in the Ramayan & the Mahabharat, who did not commit Sati, would make it clear that Sati was not a scriptural practice of ancient India. Prof Jain & Amish discuss rare instances of ritual suicide in ancient India—practiced by both men and women—as acts of personal choice. And how Colonial propagandists presented the female suicides among them as Sati (while conveniently ignoring the ritual male suicides). They also speak of mischievous mistranslations of ancient Indian scriptures by the British to show some ancient justification for Sati.

This episode challenges long-held misconceptions, celebrates India’s rich cultural heritage, and emphasizes the importance of historical accuracy & decolonisation in understanding our past.
