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 Gubyaukgyi (or Kubyauk-gyi) temple, near Bagan, Myanmar, was built in 1113 AD by Prince Yazakumar after King Kyansittha's death. It's renowned for its well-preserved frescoes, the oldest in Bagan, featuring Old Mon captions that mark early language use in Myanmar.

Located near the Myazedi Pagoda, it stands beside a key historical pillar with inscriptions in Pali, Old Mon, Old Burmese, and Pyu, often dubbed the "Burmese Rosetta Stone" for its linguistic significance.

1/13Image
Stone pillars with inscriptions in four ancient Southeast Asian languages: Pali, Old Mon, Old Burmese, and Pyu. The inscription on the pillar displayed by the Myazedi Pagoda is called the Burmese Rosetta Stone, given its historical and linguistic significance as a key to deciphering the Pyu language.

Compare the protection given to this pillar by a relatively smaller country. @AsiGOI can learn from these smaller countries as to how to protect heritages of national importance.

Did you know that "Bull Leaping" or "Bull Taming" finds its roots in India, and was gender neutral ? It later made its way to Europe, where it goes by different names. The earliest seal dates back to around 2600-1900 BCE. The second piece of evidence for Bull Leaping comes from Banawali, near the dry Saraswati riverbed in Haryana, dating from 2300-1700 BCE.

The subsequent known depiction of bull-leaping appears on Hüseyindede vases, originating from the early Hittite period around 1650 BCE. #Archaeology

During the period from around 1600 BCE to 1450 BCE, the late Minoans engaged in the thrilling sport of bull leaping. This bronze sculpture, crafted through the 'Lost Wax Technique' (a method originating from India that remains in use today by @Nasa), captures an acrobat in mid-somersault.

DEVDASI | Journey from GLEAM to GLOOM | Most respected to most dejected

Thread to look back in time to where we are today. An untold story in the evocative book 'NITYASUMANGALI' by Saskia C Kersenboon

Exploring the devadasi system's transformation, this narrative traces its shift from revered spiritual practice to marginalized existence. Devadasis, once divine performers in temples, faced decline as societal changes turned respect into rejection. Kersenboon's research reflects on cultural shifts, urging readers to ponder tradition, power, and identity.

1/15Image
Devdasis, also known as Rudra Ganikas, played a crucial role in temple ceremonies. They were the figures who encircled the IDOLs during rituals led by the royals. Revered as both sacred and auspicious, they symbolized wealth and protection for the populace. They also conducted various ceremonies related to weddings and births.

2/15Image
Image
The initiation into becoming a DevDasi was a CHALLENGING ritualistic journey, focused on mastering Shakti and anchoring it to a symbolic DEITY. It began with the King's consent, followed by seclusion, detachment from family, and a bond with GOD. Even upon death, a Devdasi adorned herself as SU-Mangali (a MARRIED woman).

The Brihadeshwarar Devalaya was founded by the Tamil emperor Arulmozhivarman, popularly known as Rajaraja Chola I, in 1002 CE. It was the first major building project of the great Tamil Chola dynasty.

Inspired by Shaivism, the temple stands as a significant testament to this tradition.

The frescoes on the Devalaya walls were damaged due to exposure to smoke and camphor. The Tanjore Nayak replaced the damaged paintings with their own. Later, @ASIGoI repaired the paintings. However, a few of the original artworks have begun to reappear.

This exquisite fresco, dating back over a millennium, vividly captures the grace of two female and one male dancer in a mesmerizing performance. Nestled within the revered Brihadeshwarar Devalaya in Tamil Nadu, this ancient artwork reflects the region's rich cultural heritage and the timeless allure of classical Indian dance traditions.
