De-bunking : Aryan - Dravidian theory.

Aryan-Dravidian propaganda by Christianity-is the sustaing catalyst of casteism in Tamil Nadu

Over five centuries European nations have waged war over many countries and their culture.

The histories of the local culture and as well as their global narratives have been falsified to justify their colonisation.

In 18 th century Europe ,with the decline of the Church influence , were looking for a glorious past, as they could not place the Bible before Constantine

They hoped to find it in India.

In this search for identity, they began to hypothesise and construct an idealised “Aryan race” through distorted reading of Indian scriptures.

Fed by virulent German nationalism, anti-semitism and Race science.

This manipulative narrative ultimately led to the rise of nazism and the dreaded Holocaust.

The Hamitic myth of the Bible, in which the descendants of Noah’s son Ham was cursed, was used by slave traders and slave owners to justify slavery

This was further propagated by Bishop Robert Caldwell and Max Muller the colonials, that Tamils were Dravidians and Sinhalese were Aryans. Gradually, many South Indians assumed this identity and turned antagonism towards the so called Aryans.

The result, a deadly ethnic civil war.

India
Max Muller proposed the Aryan category strictly as linguistic groups, but it soon got turned into Aryan race , colonial administrators used this race science purely for taxation, economical and traditional divide of India.

In parallel the church evangelists in south India constructed a Dravidian race identity.

They de-linked Tamil culture from its pan-India cultural matrix, and claimed spirituality was closer to Christianity than to the Aryan North Indian culture.

The following posts will go more into details of how this LIE was propagated into every Tamil living or dead in the past two centuries

De Bunking : Aryan Dravidian theory: Inventing the Aryan Race. The birth of “Aryan Christ “

Upon announcing his “discovery” of Sanskrit, Sir William Jones wrote to his fellow Europeans in 1799, that

// The Sanskrit language........ is of wonderful structure; more perfect than Greek, More copious than Latin, and More exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity..... than could be possibly produced by accident //

This statement is typical of the tone for the idealised and romantic view of India, prevalent in Europe in most of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century.

The West’s interpretation and treatment of Indic materials shaped the study of Sanskrit, and churned out the “ARYAN” racial construct, which underwent dramatic transmutation in the western psyche.

This is of particular importance as the legacy of how they continue even today to extract a heavy price through ethnic conflicts and genocidal wars in their form colonies.

European Romanticists
Needed a historical basis to escape the rigid framework of Judo-Christian monotheism that was already in the crisis as a result of new challenges from the modern period. There was a fierce search of spirituality that could be made to fit their own history,

so they could trace their romanticists view in their own past.

India was discovered and quickly became the premier vehicle for this search for their own golden origin.

Indologist
Historicised classical India in a way that served colonial needs as well as the needs of the emerging nation-states in Europe. They created the notion of Aryans as harbingers of civilisation to all humanity.

A glorified European ancestry was traced to these idealised Aryans. The European Aryans were seen as racially pure and blessed with spiritually superior Christianity, whereas the North Indian Aryans were of mixed half breed resulting from European Aryans

mixing with inferior natives, resulting in idol worship and polytheism and racial impurity.

A Master Aryan Race.
Was constructed out of broad category, largely by German nationalist thinkers. Nascent Race science was invoked to lend credibility to this fabrication.

European anti- senitism used the Aryan construct to separate Europeans from Jews.

And this from a Jew “ Aryan Christ “ was born and became popular in Europe.

This nationalistic pride created by the Aryan master race theory in Germany played a significant role in the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust.

After WW-2 European academic&social institutions made a great effort in exorcising the Aryan race theory from European psyche&succeeded

But Dravidian Christianity still applies these ideas to the Indians, by differentiating superior and inferior into upper caste and lower caste respectively.
