Warrior Edits

[Veer]

I’m using this thread to collect videos, teachings, short clips from real life, film, music of the warriors specifically from the Indian subcontinent. I don’t care about the political leanings of any group but just want to see them training, teaching, fighting etc. it can be in English, Punjabi or Hindi.

I have found some great videos from both Sikhs and hindus

This short clip is about Gora Singh and Badal singh who died defending Mewar. They were uncle nephew and as the story goes from the 1500s Gora Singh fought even with his head cut off. You can see that part in the clip below near the end from the film Paadmavat.

This short trailer documents the violence unleashed on the Tamil Hindus of Sri Lanka by the Buddhist majority. From banning the Tamil language and religion to the anti Tamil riots in which thousands of Hindus were burned alive, raped and murdered. 

the actual movie also showcases the rise of prabhkaran, his training in and around Chandigarh in the early 80s

This is reportedly from December 9th when Indian and Chinese soldiers had a 30 minute brawl high in the mountains.

The Chinese tried to outmuscle the combined Sikh and Jatt Regiments

Bad Choice

This is a small video about legendary Hindu king Pushyamitra Shunga, the founder of the Shunga Dynasty.

There are better more detailed videos on his life. From what we know Mitra served in the Maurayan army under the son of Ashoka. Perhaps a commander. The Ashoka family had banned Vedic sacrifice, festivals, disbanded the army, and favored a pacifist Buddhism as evidenced by his written decrees. “ Hinduism” was nearly dead. Mitra assassinated the Mauryan leader ( Ashoka’s son) and took over his army.

What happened was a bloodbath against Buddhists and its complete disappearance from northern India. Mitras hatred stemmed from the fact Buddhists were aligning themselves with the incoming Yavanas( Greeks) and disarming the entire population with their pacifist ways. Disarming, not having weapons in hand was considered maha paap for Mitra.

For nearly 36 years Pushyamitra waged relentless war against Buddhists, Greeks and other local rulers. Buddhism disappeared from northern India and headed towards Bactria, kashmir and other far places.

For Buddhists he is a villain

This is a documentary about mud wrestling - called by many names all over India. This ancient practice is dying as Indian wrestlers finally take to the mat.

But there is a group of people who will never take to the mat and prefer the dirt and grittiness.

This is the story of Toramana and MihirKula, father and son (Chiefs) of the Alchon Huns who ravaged or attempted to ravage northern India in approximately 533 AD. The names of these two individuals suggest an Iranian origin but were devout Shaivites. 

Toramana consolidated Alchon power in Punjab, modern kandahar and Kashmir and also conquered central india including Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat until his greatest rival - the Aulikara king PrakashaDharma of Malwa finally defeated him. Toramana eventually died but left a bigger menace in the form of his son named MihirKula. 

MihirKula by all accounts was rabidly anti buddhist and spent his time destroying monasteries, killing monks even though both hindu and buddhists texts describe him as cruel, barbaric and shows no pity even towards children and the old. It seems both Hindus and Buddhists were unhappy with his rule. It is under his watch that we get the first massacre of the Kashmiri Pandits ( amongst many) 

The cruel deeds and the news of destruction by Mihirakula spread to other Indian kingdoms. The king of Magadha announced a war against him. Mihirakula proceeded to invade eastern kingdoms including Magadha. He was defeated and captured by the Gupta king Narasimhagupta Baladitya.^[11] The Magadha king tried him and declared the right punishment for Mihirakula to be execution. However, Baladitya's mother intervened and argued against capital punishment.^[19][25]

Mihirakula's life was thus spared. Meanwhile, during Mihirakula stay in prison, his associate had already completed a coup and taken power in Sagala. After his release from Magadha, Mihirahula arrived in the kingdom of Kashmira, where the local king gave him a territory to govern. Mihirakula then usurped power over Kashmira.^[19] He assassinated the king of Kashmira, and thereafter annexed Gandhara after a surprise assassination of its king and a slaughter of all its ministers. He looted the country and carried the spoils to his capital. He killed more people and also demolished 1600 stupas and monasteries, states Xuanzang.^[11] Mihirakula's campaign of destruction and his attempt to regain his Bactria-encompassing empire came to an end after the central Indian king Yashodharman defeated him.^[19] According to Xuanzang, Mihirakula died a sudden death. After his death, the Buddhist scholars in this land declared that "he will fall in the deepest hell of incessant suffering and rotate [in the wheel of rebirth] without end" (Li Rongxi translation).^[11]

The menace of MihirKula was finally taken on by central indian king Yashodharman in the famous battle of Sondani. The result was the complete defeat of the Alchon Huns and they were finally kicked out of northern india. They lost Punjab, Kashmir and retreated to Gandara. From time to time you will find coins in the name of Mihirakula in Punjab (Sialkot, Jalandhara and in the Chandigarh area)

But what happened to these rough riding, warlike Alchon Huns? 

The answer is complicated but "they" became us. Over time these Alchon Huns spread and occupied northern India. They were renamed as Rajputs, Jatts and Dogras. 

Elements of their Shaivite religion would make its way into new religions like Islam. The crescent moon, hair and beard, black stone, fasting, parikama, white clothes and some say even Namaz has elements of Yoga in it.

That was bad advice, LOL

btw @Veer - is wikipedia your source...?

[Veer]

Combination of old texts, videos, articles including wiki. 

Obviously, the stories are much deeper. It’s bewildering the amount of kings and kingdoms and how they rose and fell in ancient India. I held off writing this post for that reason.

Letting go of a dangerous fallen enemy has happened in india again and again with civilizational repercussions.

prithviraj Raj chauhan did it and it cost him his head. Surprisingly, even the ruthless indira did it with Pakistan by giving back territory and soldiers.

Not the same clip as the original but close. Anything from the film padmavat is flagged or put behind an age restriction.

The greatest scene from the film was the jauhar scene that stunned India. Thousands of people called the producer to claim Rajput status including Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs even Pakistanis.

Sikh preachers Moranwala and Udhoke also claimed Rajput status on video.

I’ll see if I can put it up sometime

Only if it has soruces that work in the bottom that concur. 

[Veer]

Sorry guys I just realized something after watching the video on the Huns above.

The people who eventually defeated the Huns were a tribe originally called the Malavas, based near the Ravi river in Punjab. Don’t know if the Malwa region is related to them or not. 

These Malavas relocated to Rajasthan area and later became the Aulikaras. 
 

So yes you could say the “ Punjabis” finally brought an end to the Hun menace that was plaguing the Indian civilization, Central Asia and under Attila the Hun brought Europe to its knees.
