The Aryan Invasion Theory further states that Central Asian nomadic tribes came to India in horse drawn chariots.
This view has been challenged by many historians on the basis that, Chariots are not a vehicle of nomads Chariots are used in flat land,
urban areas Chariots are unsuitable for crossing mountains and deserts. Thus the Aryan Invasion Theory, both on dates and mode of travel does not fit with reality.
POLO REVEALS
Lieutenant Joseph Sherer of the British Army,
is listed in history as the father of English Polo for having founded the Silchar Polo Club in 1859.
However, on tracing the history of the formation of the Silchar Polo Club,we learn how the British officers learnt this game from the locals who had been playing it by the name
“Pulu”, with a wooden ball. It is from this “Pulu”, that the British gave the game, the name “Polo”.
India’s Manipur king, Raja Chandrakirti Singh is recorded to have told Lt.Sherer in 1859, that Pulu or Sagol Kangjei was being played in Manipur since over 2000 years ago.
William Jones did NOT give is the name India or Hindu.
Bharat is the indigenous name of this country.
Bharat etymologically stands for Bha which means light or the act of being enlightened. For example, the name Bhaskara denotes the Sun.
Ratha means “one who is a connoisseur”, “one who relishes”. A beautiful example is the word Rati / Rathi. Rati means a beautiful lady, one who is pleasing, one who is to be appreciated, one who brings Very aptly, Rati, one who bring relish, divinity of desires called Kama.

Dravida is a variation of the Samskrt words dramila, dramira or dramida which mean South India. This again comes from the root Dra, meaning to flow, to move, from which has come Dravyam for liquid, that which flows.
Thread.
It is the same root as for Druid, those who deal with magic potions, liquids, the most famous ones being the Druids of the Gauls, the Celts and so on.
Dravya also stands for metals, that which melt. Dravya therefore also denotes material wealth
which usually comprises of various forms of gold, silver and other precious metals obtained from underground.
Peninsular India is rich in mineral wealth and hence is also aptly called Dravida, a land of rich mineral wealth.
சூரரைப் போற்று திரைப்படத்தை முழுவதும் இன்று பார்த்தேன். இதை விட மோசமான படத்தை எடுக்க மிகக் கடுமையாக முயன்றால்தான் முடியும். .
போலித்தனத்தின் எல்லைகள் எவ்வளவு பரந்து விரிந்துப் பட்டவை என்பதை படம் முதலிலிருந்து கடைசி வரை நமக்குத் தெரிவித்துக் கொண்டே இருக்கின்றது.
உச்சம் இந்திய விமானப் படையின் ஏர்கமோடோர் சோஷலிசச் சவுகிதாராக மாறி சூரியாவிற்குச் சேவை செய்வது.
சோஷலிசம் என்றால் என்ன என்பதைப் பற்றி ஒரு புரிதலும் இல்லாமல் திராவிட ஹிட்லரின் குப்பைத்தொட்டியில் கிடைத்தவற்றைப் பொறுக்கிப் படித்தால் இது போன்றுதான் சிந்திக்க முடியும்.
விமானங்களை வாங்கி பறக்க விடுவதை தனிமனிதன் முயல்வது அப்பட்டமான முதலாளித்துவ முயற்சி. முயற்சி தவறு என்று நான் சொல்லவில்லை. அது ஏழைகளுக்காகச் செய்யப்படுகிறது என்று சொல்வதுதான் அடிப்படையில் மிகவும் கேவலமான, அவமானகரமான பொய்.
