Rupa Bhaty — How Old Is India Really? The Untold Story of Ancient
India
How old is Indian civilisation really? Did India’s history begin
with the Mughals and the British — or does it go back thousands
of years further?
In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Rupa Bhaty,
Architect, Researcher and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the
School of Indic Studies, Institute of Advanced Sciences,
Massachusetts, USA, to explore the forgotten and contested
history of ancient India.
With over two decades of research across Vedic astronomy,
archaeology, Sanskrit, ancient texts and Indic knowledge systems,
Rupa presents a fascinating perspective on India’s civilisational
past.
What we cover: Parashurama and the extraordinary timeline of
26,000–30,000 BC. The Rigveda and what it reveals about ancient
India. The real story of Parashurama, Kerala and the Konkan
coast. How the Ramayana’s Nakshatras can be used to understand
its chronology. Dasharatha and Ravana decoded through ancient
texts. The real map of India around 12,000 BC. The Indus Valley
Civilisation, its society, economy, food, trade and taxation
system. The Varna system and the historical position of Shudras.
Ancient Indian migrations and genetic connections. Shishunaga,
Mauryan and other ancient Indian dynasties. Alexander’s invasion
and whether he actually conquered India. India’s cultural
connections with Egypt, Greece and other ancient civilisations.
Shivlinga and archaeological evidence. The Narmada skull and what
it could mean for human history. Sanskrit, ancient languages and
the origins of Indic knowledge systems.
From Vedic astronomy and archaeology to ancient texts, genetics
and human evolution, this conversation explores how far back the
story of India can actually be traced.
India did not begin with the Mughals. It did not begin with the
British. How much older is India’s civilisation than we
have been taught?
