Lot of people have asked about 'Aryan Invasion Theory' (AIT) and where it stands today.
An effort to bring various pieces together.
Please read on
2/n
AIT was propounded at the time when most of the technologies were not available (e.g. Astronomical S/w, DNA Profiling, Paleontologist studies). AIT states that Aryan were Europeans who came on horses with 'Ayas' and settled during ~2000 BC.
3/n The cause of AIT propagation was to establish racial superiority and colonising India.
When they found Indian culture far rich and advanced, they stole it and termed Indus valley inhabitants as Aryan race who drove Dravidian to south.
4/n Long story of inferiority terming rich culture into inferior.
Treaty of Tordesillas entered between Spain and Portugal sanctioned by Pope Julius II to share the world by two powers was trigger point of comparison in faith and civilisations.
5/n As per Treaty, Columbus (a Spanish Sailor) went westwards and ‘discovered’ America in AD 1492.
Vasco-Da-Gama 1460-1524 (a Portuguese Sailor) sailed eastwards to discover sea route to India Calicut on 20th May 1498
[pic indicative]
6/n 17th Century, Spain and Portugese colonised several territories including parts of India. Germans felt left behind. They started to dig in Sanskrit to match their own Language britannica.com/topic/Aryan
7/n German Indologist Herder 1744-1803, Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel (1772-1829) worked to prove that Europeans were great amongst Greeks and Romans and called #sanskrit as mother language of all
@RajivMessage
8/n German William Jones 1746-1794 theorised mapped Indian figures into Biblical framework. He mapped ‘Manu’ as ‘Adam’ ‘Narasimha’ as ‘Nimrod’.
He said “Either the first eleven chapters of genesis are true or the whole fabric of our national religion is false”
@RajivMessage
9/n Britishers took forward this theory of Aryan’s racism superiority to control ‘India’.
1830, Macaulay was appointed convert India to a Christian country. He wanted Indologist Max Muller (1823-1900).
10/n Mueller propounded the theory of Arya as a race of a family of languages and who spoke them – linguistic divide.
as per him, Riv Veda claimed only Brahman, Kshatriya as Aryan and categorized Sudra as non-Aryan. He called “Arya” (or Aryan) a race.
@RajivMessage
11/n Max Muller’s Aryan linguistic category was converted by Risley into caste 1901 Census in India
He carried out “Nasal Index” to classify jatis as Hindus and tribes as non-Hindus.
He decided that Indian consists of 2378 main casts and tribes and 43 races.
12/n
The racial theories landed up in several regional conflicts consequently and subsequently 1. Holocaust & WW-II 2. Rawanda conflict 3. Naval conflict and First Independence War by India in 1857
@RajivMessage
13/n Euro-Indologist chose to ignore River Saraswati which is mentioned in RigVeda 65 times
Vaidic wisdom existed 9KYA BC
Horses and Chariots were present in India way before belief of indologists.
17/n Stone tools found in Attirampakkam, Tamil Nadu dates back 350KYears debunking theory that homo-erectus exting 600Kyear ago and modern man came into being 80kYear before.
@RajVedam1 thewire.in/science/stone-…
18/n
'Narmada Man' Skull discovered in MP, India, provides the first scientifically recorded evidence of human skeletal remains from the Indian subcontinent dating to the late Middle Pleistocene of 300Ky to 150Kyears ago. @RajVedam1 anthropology.iresearchnet.com/narmada-man/
19/n As per @RajVedam1 The excavation in Keezhadi, Tamil Nadu, based on the studies and available data, the carbon dating should be in an interval of 821 BCE to 2974 BCE for the terminus layer.
22/n Discovery of Chariot in Sanauli, UP, India itself is sufficient to debunk false AIT.
What to speak of other Archaeological, Paleontologist, Genetic proofs.
It proves that Indus-Valley-'Saraswati'-Civilisation existed ~2000BCE
23/n Continuity of Civilisation from Harappan excavation 1. Namaste 2. Swastika 3. Yoga 4. Shivalinga
@RajVedam1 @Aabhas24
24/n Study by A R Nair, S V Navada and S M Rao Thar Desert states that cooler and pluvial conditions in the Holocene were present in the region what is called dried Saraswati River.
Thank you @narendramodi Modiji for overhauling your cabinet. It was long due and desired
Requesting you to also repeal entire @ASIGoI good for nothing engaged in graveyards maintenance.
Majority of excavation sites are ruining (the last possible evidence of our glorious past)
8a : Ekastaka - Wrong interpretation by Western Scholar to subdue India's antiquity. This led to take away plane geometry pioneered by Indians by greeks
Horse bones found in Hunsgi Baichbal valley's Acheulian sites, Karnataka pertaining to lower paleolithic period appx (2.580 ± 0.005 Ma and 0.773 ± 0.005 Ma) … #Archaeology
24a
Latest satellite images, ground atudies proves #Saraswati did exist 4000 years ago. Even a Dutch map from 1746 ce shows it flowing parallel to Indus river

Everyone cites these percentages. No one asks 𝐰𝐡𝐲 vehicles contribute 41%. No one asks 𝐰𝐡𝐲 road dust is 21.5%. No one asks 𝐰𝐡𝐲 construction spikes PM by 8%.
The real question isn't WHAT pollutes.
It's WHY Delhi's vehicles pollute 3–4× more than vehicles in Mumbai, Bangalore, or Singapore.
WHY does road dust account for 21.5% here but <5% in Tokyo?
WHY does construction create such massive spikes?
The answer: 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞.

1/9 Welcome to Jalore Fort, Rajasthan: the “Golden Fort” that literally glows at sunset yet remains invisible to 99.9 % of Indian tourists. Built to laugh at invaders, now dying of Instagram indifference. Classic. 🏜️✨
#SonarKila #GemsofASI
State protected monument number S-RJ-223,224
@UNESCO @narendramodi @PMOIndia @gssjodhpur @ASIGoI @MinOfCultureGoI 2/9
10th-century Paramaras: “Let’s park a fortress on a lone volcanic plug no army can climb.”
Result: Never fully conquered. Alauddin tried in 1311, lost 40,000 men, still had to bribe the gatekeeper. Peak medieval flex.
3/9 Songara Chauhans take over, rename it Swarnagiri (“Hill of Gold”). Because when your walls shine like Fort Knox, subtlety is overrated. Meanwhile Delhi historians call it “a local disturbance”. Sure Jan.
A fortress that survived Vijayanagara's collapse, Muslim invasions, Nayaka power plays, and Tipu Sultan's expansion now may not survive few more decades thanks to bureaucracy 😑
Yet most Indians have never heard of it. Here's why that's a problem. 🏰
1️⃣ These brick ruins are what remains of Karnasubarna—ancient capital of King Sasanka's Gauda Kingdom (circa 600-625 CE). Once a thriving Buddhist center with the grand Rakta Mrittika Mahavihar, as documented by Hiuen Tsang himself. 🏛️
Now? Barely anyone knows it existed.
ASI protected monument number 3692. Can you see the protection? #GemsofASI
2️⃣ Hiuen Tsang described Rakta Mrittika Mahavihar as having 'red brick walls' with over 1,000 monks studying here in the 7th century. A major Buddhist learning center in Eastern India, predating Nalanda's peak fame.
Yet most history books skip straight to Nalanda.
No signboards explaining the mahavihar's significance. No interpretive panels. Nothing.
3️⃣ King Sasanka ruled from Karnasubarna, controlling vast territories across Bengal and parts of Odisha. His kingdom was a political and religious hub—Hindu-Buddhist confluence, trade networks, administrative sophistication.
Colonial historians painted him as 'obscure.' Our own institutions continue that tradition by ignoring his capital.
THREAD: How Bengaluru Buried 3,000 Years Under Asphalt 🧵
1/ Take a moment. Picture Chikkajala—a megalithic burial site predating empires we revere. Unearthed by Captain Branfil in colonial times, packed with Iron Age cists (500-1000 BCE) and striking black-and-red pottery. Priceless for science. Until we paved it over. What a legacy, eh? 🏗️🪦🏛️
#GemsofASI #Archaeology
2/ This wasn't just dirt. A 3,000-year-old cemetery fused with a fortified temple, etched stepwell boasting fish, turtles, scorpions. Hoysala pillars, Vijayanagara scripts, a bicentennial Hanuman shrine, and a peepal tree clinging to granite like ancient defiance. But highways wait for no history. 🛣️🕳️🗿
3/ ASI listed Chikkajala among 208 protected gems in Bangalore Circle. Ironclad safety? Hardly. When NHAI bulldozed the entrance in 2011 for airport road expansion, ASI shrugged: Not our circus. Bureaucratic brilliance. 🙄📜🚧
