The oldest male genes of the R1a haplogroup some 15500yrs old are found in #Bharat, this is followed by the #Caspian region with 12300yr old samples & #Europe with 6900yr old ones .
People migrated out of the tropics carrying language with them as the world warmed & ice melted .
Linguistics & genetics both indicate a migration of tribes from #India to the west . Corroborated by historical Records of the #Saraswati drying up & causing migration .

A third indicator is the spread of technology, around 1750BC ancient #Turkey was shaken by the arrival of a people with the new for the region technology of #iron working , with Iron tools & weapons the #Hittite people quickly carved a kingdom dominating the Black sea region.

1/n Who are we?

So audacious,appearing immortals, chanting the same Vaidik Ruchas composed millenniums back on the banks of #Saraswati, #Sindhu & many #Sindhus till today.

The Hindus(inhabitants of land beyond Sindhu), followers of Dharma, ie Sanatana,long way we have come.
2/n I always say that it impossible to give a date to Sanatana Dharma.

We need to decode both the words to understand meaning wisely.

Sanatana refers to "imperishable" & "eternal." (refer ┼Ъivapur─Бс╣Зa 2.2.16, 2.2.42)
3/n What does word San─Бtan─л signify?

Often it signifies the duties which takeaway thoughts from the #Vedas, #Upanishads, #Puranas #Itihasas Bhagavad Gita etc.

Now, question arises that why they are San─Бtan, & why no other thoughts?

Short #Thread on Dating of #Mahabharata with help of refs to river #Saraswati.
1. Read this fantastic paper by @meghkalyan & @ManognaSastry
2. They list 144 verses related to River Saraswati frm MB Text.
3. Of these at least 50 show Saraswati in flow!
academia.edu/38369132/SarasтАж
2/8
4. Paper also lists various places, along the banks of river Saraswati, at which Balrama stopped during his pilgrimage
5. Saraswati is not flowing with the vigour as described in Rig Veda but is still flowing.
6. This gives great clues for dating effort of Mahabharata.
3/8
7. Megh & Manogna give a terminus ante quem (latest date beyond which MB cannot happen) as around 1900 BC - as Saraswati completely dried up by then.
8. Hence, all dates of Mahabharat later than 1900 BC (1800 BC etc.) are out of the window - going by this research.

Life-Size Stone Sculpture of Goddess #Saraswati.

Dated: 1200AD-1300 A.D

The goddess has been conceived as four-armed standing on a lotus pedestal and carrying lotus, book, rosary and a pot in her hands.

1/1

#HistoryEncyclopedia #SculptureOfIndia #History
Along with the rosary, the lower right hand displays 'varada mudra', gesture of release. Elaborately bejeweled with a wider range of ornaments than usually seen in her contemporary images, especially the ornaments on her arms, the delicate string on the back of the palms.

Goddess has been modeled with an exceptionally soft & delicate figure, fingers, long, sharp & with pointed nails being most attractive & striking. Besides the lyre-playing devotee females and the donor couple, royal beings or a rich trader and his wife.

They couldnтАЩt deny that the Veds were the ancient most texts!
They couldnтАЩt accept that German, Greek, Latin languages had their origin in Sanskrit!
To give expression to their political aspirations, they fabricated тАШAryan invasion theoryтАЩ! #SaraswatiUntold
In 1848, German scholar, Friedrich Max Muller settled in Oxford, introduced in 1853, term Aryan applied to Indian languages & Race! Germany & England used Aryan invasion theory to propagate that Rigvedic people were descendants of Europeans,so our culture,language came from them!
Macaulay understood- knowledge of Brahmins would be a hinderance in converting Hindus, hired impoverished Max Muller to translate & interpret Veds in a way thatЁЯЗоЁЯЗ│elite would choose Bible over Veds, used #Hindu intellectual strength against their own self!
