THREAD | Aryan Invasion Theory debunked

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 Image
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. Image
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.

 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”

 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
Image
Image
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. Image
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

Shivalinga from Harappan Civilisation, around 5 thousand years old, National Museum, Delhi

@LevinaNeythiri You were right Shiva Lingas didn;t have base during Harappan era.

If previous tweet is correct than this one is wrong. Shivalinga conjoined with Yoni. May be both the concepts were evolving during Harappan era.

The Ṛgveda is believed to originate from the early 3rd millennium BCE., with some hymns possibly tracing back to the late 4th millennium BCE.

Its compilation likely ended around 1500 B.C., not in 1500 BCE as commonly believed, just as the Indus Valley civilization was fading and Mesopotamia was undergoing a time of uncertainty and turmoil (Levitt 2003: 356b).

Here in this thread, a commonality between Sumerian and Bhartiy text.

1/7Image
The argument links an Indo-European view with the Vedic origin of the god Indra's name from the Sanskrit "indh-" meaning "to kindle." However, this doesn’t explain all of Indra's traits, which resemble those of the Sumerian god Enlil.

Both Indra and Enlil lead their pantheons, surpass higher moral gods, separate heaven from earth, and are storm gods in both literal and figurative senses. Indra's defeat of Aryan enemies parallels Enlil's conquests.

In Vedic and 3rd millennium B.C. Sumerian traditions, major natural forces were personified. Both have chief gods of air and storm—Indra for the Vedic and Enlil for the Sumerian—showing the significance of rain and storms in their cultures (Dandekar 1958: 13, Jacobsen 1949: 150). This connection is clear.

2/7Image

Enki is often seen as cunning and crafty, much like rivers that skillfully navigate around obstacles. Víṣṇu’s three steps may parallel Enki’s journey through the civilized world and his establishment of world order and earth’s fertility, as depicted in "Enki and the World Order" (Kramer 1963: 171-174). The name Nārāyaṇá, explained by the Mānavadharmaśāstra 1.10 as 'moving in the waters' (with nāra meaning 'waters'), typically refers to Víṣṇu, although in this context it refers to Brahmā.

Víṣṇu is associated with Garuḍá, the sun-bird, while Enki is linked to Imdugud, an eagle-like thunderbird. It is important to note that the Ṛgveda provides limited information about Víṣṇu, as he is incidental to its primary purpose.

Have you ever wondered why the topic of dinosaurs in India seems absent from common knowledge?

In truth, dinosaurs thrived in the Indian peninsula 250 to 65 million years ago, and they were unlike any others seen globally.

Sadly, many people, including myself, aren't aware of this, which is why I'm sharing this #thread.

1️⃣Image
The very first dinosaur discovery, Titanosaurus Indicus, unearthed from the Deccan Traps in Jabalpur, dates back to 1832 and is 70 million years old. After vanishing in 1877, it made a dramatic comeback, resurfacing in the Shiwalik Gallery of the Indian Museum.

Titanosaurus blanfordi was 2nd dino remain found in Pisdura, Maharashtra.

Rajasaurus - Regal Lizard remains were found in Kheda, Gujarat and Jabalpur MP. This 30 feet giant roamed in India around 70-65 Mya

IMO, History is variable and rewritten by the rulers.

In this series here's a brief thread on an expected spurt of Krishna and Radha's relationship following the Mongolian incursion. The artwork, largely from Kangra, Sirmaur, and Mandi, portrays Krishna observing Radha, glancing at other gopis, or caught in moments of affection.

Take a couple of minutes to explore this intriguing twist. If you believe that these scene are from any epic pl do share

#Thread 🧵 Pic representationalImage
This earliest find is after Akbar started interpolation.

In the scene,
- Krishna Kisses Radha.
- The crown are typical marriage crown during the period.
- There are persian vases placed in the back and front of the scene

Not sure which Purana mentioned this scene where Krishna can be seen making love on a swing in the central circle.

Regardless of the patent under the name Ludo by Britisher Alfred in 1896, Pachisi (25) has been played in India for over 5000 years. #Archaeology uncovers cultural appropriation.

in 1938, the American toy and game company Transogram launched a widespread board game edition titled Game of India, which was subsequently advertised as Pa-Chiz-Si: The Game of India Image
Image
In America, there is evidence for home-made boards and boards without a clear origin from the 1850s. A dubious story credits the invention of Parcheesi to Sam Loyd who supposedly sold the rights to the game for $10 at one point but since Sam Loyd was a notorious self-publicist and deceiver, it is probably best to ignore this account. The earliest definite record is that John Hamilton of the Hudson River Valley claimed copyright to the game in 1867. Rights were sold to one Albert Swift who then sold them on to Selchow and Righter in 1870 and this famous company trademarked the game in 1874. Parcheesi went on to become the bestselling game for Selchow & Richter Co. for decades.

The later 'Frustration" based on Ludo and initially published by Irwin Toy was made popular in many countries using the marketing muscle of MB Games (Hasbro) ' in a plastic incarnation featuring the gimmick of a centrally placed "pop-o-matic" dice roller.Image

The first mention of nose-ring (for nose piercing) is in Old Testament when Abhraham's servant gives his daughter-in-law 'Rebekah' a golden nose-ring ("Shanf" in Hebrew). This practice of gifting rings to brides continues even today.
