4000 years ago, a small group of Vedic Indians left the Indus valley & built a mighty empire in the middle east. They spoke Sanskrit & worshiped Indra-Mitra-Varuna. They had purely Rig Vedic personal names. A Mitanni palace now resurfaces from Mosul dam-
edition.cnn.com/travel/article…
Numerous Mitanni names have IndoAryan provenance.

Biriamazda- Priyamedha
Artasmara- Rtasmara
Tvaišaratha-Tveṣáratha
Indrauta-Indrota
Mittaratti- Mitrātithi
Dewatti-Devātithi

These suffixes & prefixes are predominantly found in later Rig Vedic books- implying the RV is older!
Earliest rulers of Mitanni king list are 'Kirta', Shuttarna & Parattarna

The capital was Waššukanni (Skt Vasu-khani-'Mine of wealth'). The city was lost to history & never found.

Zebu cattle entered the middle east around the same time as Mitanni! Did THEY bring it from India?

A classmate asked me proudly why I waste time on the failed and lost past. It is only the future that we can conquer.

My reply- To say the past has no relevance to the future is equivalent to saying the diagnosis has no bearing on the prognosis.

He spoke no more.
A medical view of history-

From Rig Vedic times till the 12th century is Physiology. A healthy, thriving civilization.

Then till 1947 is historical Pathology. How an advanced nation reduced to utter ruin.

Thence till now, Pharmacology. One drug after another we seek a cure.
But we don't know the disease plaguing us. Not really. So we cannot be cured. And until we look truthfully at our past, arrive at a diagnosis and fix the gaping holes in our history, we wont either.

For saving even one woman from the fires of a pyre, Raja Ram Mohan Roy has my respects. But my admiration for him ends there. He was an intellectual Sepoy of the British who devastated native traditions in his awe for all things English. We can indeed call him the first 'Lutyen'.
Barely a decade since the British took Delhi from the Marathas and became the masters of India. Already, they found an Indian ally to crush the native pride in language & culture. A letter sent by 'missionary educationist' Dr Alexander Duff to the British house of commons-
(1853)
Not only did he repeatedly press the authorities and missionaries to Anglicize Indians into submission to British learning and 'Christian morality', he personally helped in it.

Lets see Stefan-

"The ancient philosophers of India ordained a truly admirable law that not one among them shall become a slave but shall enjoy equal right to freedom"
Megasthenes 300 BCE

Unlike Greece & Rome, Bharat wasn't built on the backs of slaves. Keep your 'anti-slavery'
Is free speech white skinned?

-Greece killed Socrates in 399BCE for "not believing in the gods of Athens"

-A Christian mob brutally lynched the woman philosopher Hypatia in 415 CE

A challenge- Can you name a SINGLE philosopher who was killed in ancient India for his views?
The Italian Church state burned Giordano Bruno alive in 1600CE.

His crime?

He was a pantheist who believed the universe was a manifestation of God.

Do you know whats funny @StefanMolyneux ?

That is EXACTLY what the ancient Vedic Aryas believed.
What ALL Hindus believe.

Are Nimrod and Sargon I the same person?
By: Lujack Skylark
Jul 23, 2013

Nimrod was the first to build an empire after mankind left the Tower of Babel. (Genesis 11:1-8)
Nimrod built 8 cities. (Genesis 10:10-11) One city was named Accad (Genesis 10:10) which also is known as Akkad or Agade.
Sargon I of Akkad is mentioned in history as first building an empire in the Middle-East.

Its Friday afternoon. The news is depressing. I'm going to do a little THREAD on the lighter side, sharing some moments in my career of studying Sanskrit. #Sanskrit
I started studying Sanskrit when I was 18 years old. I was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, a notably nerdy place (unofficial motto - Where Fun Comes to Die). Taking Sanskrit seemed normal. Some people just find their niche, I guess.
In my first Sanskrit class there were 20 of us. By the second class, we were down to 10. By the fourth class, we were down to 5. I have always loved a challenge, so I was hooked.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

1) I'm not sure how to make people remember or care that 15 years ago the United States invaded Iraq, setting off a war that continues to this day, with several hundred thousand Iraqis dead, millions turned into refugees. I covered the invasion for the New York Times Magazine.
2) Though I'm a writer, I shot photos during the invasion as I drove a rented Hyundai SUV from Kuwait into Iraq via Safwan, then up the spine of the country to Nasiriya, Diwaniya, Hilla, Kut and finally Baghdad. Here's the Hyundai on March 19, 2003. It's clean--that will change
3) The photographer I worked with, Laurent vander Stockt, drove his own SUV. After several failed attempts to get into Iraq, one time turned back at gunpoint by U.S. soldiers, we finally got through, via what we guessed was a minefield (I followed Lauren tracks). Here's Laurent.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
