Ramayan & Mahabharat were not just sanskrit dramas, they were sacred texts that actually happened. The ultimate proof which solidifies the Ramayan is Ram setu. You can search on google about this. The bridge was first mentioned in the ancient Indian Sanskrit epic Ramayana written by Valmiki, wherein Ram constructed it for his Vanar (ape men) army to reach Lanka and rescue his wife Sita from the Rakshas king, Ravan.

You did two episodes on Roman Theatre, why not two on Sanskrit? You also highlighted Plautus over Terrance's work because it was mirrored by Shakespeare. You also did this directly after you said Terrance's was arguably more sophisticated. Do your see the eurocentrism in these actions? It's like you're tokenizing non-Western theatre. Why?

Not much of the record was left after Babur's invasion. The remaining stuff was destroyed by the british and that's why a lot of people believe that all the stories were fictional. i am not sure too but after the declaration that ram stupa is real i guess every thing written in the ramayana, mahabharta etc could be true

4: 44 When you translate Sanskrit to English, you might want to keep the original Sanskrit word(s) in brackets that follow the translated word(s. People who don't want to read them, won't read anyway, but what about the rest of us? Thank you for compiling information for us though: )

Only Indian culture covers wishes for well being of all mankind irrespective of religion, creed or faith. None else does so. Perhaps that is why it was so eaily brought down by the Khazar British. Karma will deal with them.

9: 04 My Grandma used to tell me about this play all the time when I was a kid. But then I'd forgot all about it though, until now. Seeing you talk about the play evoked those memories again, thanks crashcourse.

Interesting fact
The regional name of India -Bharata- is named after the son the king finds in the end of the play
And all the characters in both the Indian epics are direct/indirect descendants of him

Why are there many videos in the series not on the play list? The Noh theater, the ones about Shakespeare, not on the play list. There are only 10 on the play list. You might want to look into this.

Content is thoroughly covered and well-summarized for its ten-something minutes but I'd ask Crash Course to look up the IPA or equivalent because this is full of mispronunciations.

Mahabharat not Mahabharata, Ramayan and not Ramayana. Krishn and not Krishna, both have different meanings. Ditto for Yog (as in Vogue, not Yoga. You all need a Guru first. Thanks.
