Does it remind you of anything?

The Great Bath

Mohenjo-daro

What are we taught in school?Indus Valley Civilization dates back to 2500

BCEDravidians inhabited the area at firstAryans(Semi-Nomadic people) came They spoke SanskritThey drived away Dravidians towards southThey inhabited Indus Valley hence forth

Who are these ARYANS anyway?“Arya” means “learned”/”respected” personIt does not reflect any RACEScholorly people were referred as ARYAThrough out the 4 Vedas the word “ARYA”

has been encountered only about 60 timesEach time it has been used to mean

“respected person”

Why the Concept of Aryan Invasion

Max Muller

Max MullerMax Muller (1823-1900) German philologist

and Orientalistdesperate to bring Christianity into India so

that the religion of the Hindus should be doomed.

specially employed (in 1847) to write the translations of the Vedas in such a demeaning way so that the Hindus should lose faith in them

Highly paid(4 pounds per PAGE!)

In a letter to his Wife"It took only 200 years for us to Christianise the whole of Africa, but even after 400 years India eludes us, I have come to realize that it is Sanskrit which has enabled India to do so. And to break it I have decided to learn Sanskrit.“

To the Dean of St. Paul's (Dr. Milman), February 26, 1867

"I have myself the strongest belief in the growth of Christianity in India. There is no country so ripe for Christianity as India, and yet the difficulties seem enormous."

Macauley’s Minute 1835“..We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect..”

Hitler’s Master RaceMisused the concept …Concept of Master RaceWhich led to 2nd World WarLater the concept was rubbishedBut.. It was too late !

QuoteA time must come when the Indian

mind will shake off the darkness that has fallen upon it , cease to think or hold opinions at second or third hand and reassert its right to judge and enquire in a perfect freedom into the meaning of its own Scriptures.

Proof against Aryan Invasion TheoryEvidence From Indian TraditionEvidence From ArcheologyEvidence From AstronomyEvidence wrt GeneticsMany more…

Evidence From Indian TraditionNo Sanskrit Scripture make any reference to

an original homeland outside India.Vedic Homeland is described as Aryavarta ,

Baratavarsha etcRig Veda refers to “Land of Seven Rivers” –

IndiaNo reference to Conquest of Foreign Land

Quote“A careful study of the Vedas… reveals the fact that Vedic culture is so redolent of Indian Soil and of Indian Atmosphere that the idea of Non-Indian origin is absurd”

P T Srinivasa Iyengar(1926)

Quote“As far as I can see,there is nothing in

the hymms of the Rig Veda which demonstrates that Vedic-speaking populations were intrusive to the area… Nothing implies that the Aryas were strangers here”

Colin Renfrew,British Archeologist

Evidence From Archeology1921,first systematic excavation of buried

city of Harappa, on the Ravi River. (Daya Ram Sahni, Rakhaldas Banerjee)

Time of Civilization was pushed from 4th century BCE to 2500 BCE.

Heighest concentration of sites was later found along dry bed of Sarasvati river east to Indus.

Indus-Saraswati Civilization

The Mighty SarasvatiRig Veda honurs river Sarasvati :”great

among great, mightiest of rivers”(VI.61.13)“surpassing in majesty and might all other

waters”(VII.95.1)“limitless unbroken flow , swift-moving with a

rapid rush and tempestuous roar”(VI.61.8)

Sarasvati…Seems to be fed by icecaps and glaciers of

Himalayas which ended by about 10000 BCELogically, time of Rig Veda must be prior to

this.Mahabharatha also refers to Sarsavati river as:“disappeared into desert” and even “lost”Evidences of “abrupt climatic condition” (may

be prolonged drought) during about 2200-1900 BCE are available in the Sarasvati river Valley.

Sarasvati…Theory says Aryans Invaded around 1500

BCEWhy would they colonize in a Dried up river

beltWhy would they call a dried up river as what

Rig Veda refers to…Re-Discovery of Sarasvati deals a death blow

to invasion theory.

Satellite Picture of Sarasvati river Valley

QuoteIn the east , the ancient Sarasvati river

ran parallel to the Indus….Towards the end of the Indus Valley Civilization,the ancient Sarasvati had totally dried up…. Many episodes of Rig Veda take place along the sacred Sarasvati

Kenoyer,Historian

Other proof“There was neither an Aryan race nor a

Dravidian race.The concept of ‘race’ itself is a myth” – S P Gupta(Archeologist)

Studies confirm that there is no trace of material remains of Dravidian(south Indian) people in Harappan Civilization

This disproves that Dravidians were the original inhabitants of Harappa (or Mohenjo-daro)

Astronomical proofMany references can be found in our

Scriptures as Astronomy was/is one our prime interests

Rig Veda referred to Sun being in the Constellation “Mriga”(Orion) around 4500 BCE

Sun being in constellation “Krittika”(Pleiades) around 2500 BCE

there is a reference in Krishna Yajur Veda of a Solscites around 8500 BCE (which make Rig Veda even more ancient)

News BBC-LONDON, ENGLAND, September 30, 2005One of the most controversial ideas about Hindu

history is the Aryan invasion theory. This theory, originally devised by F. Max Muller in 1848, traces the history of Hinduism to the invasion of India's indigenous people by lighter skinned Aryans around 1500 BCE. The theory was reinforced by other research over the next 120 years, and became the accepted history of Hinduism, not only in the West but in India. There is now ample evidence to show that Muller, and those who followed him, were wrong.

ConclusionAryan Invasion Theory is a HoaxIt is done to misguide us & to brain wash Aryan theory is baselessThere is no RACE called AryansAryans went to many corners of the world to

spread their knowledgeThere was no conflict between Aryans and

DravidiansInfact,South India is the store house of Vedic

Scriptures

Time to wake up!!
