While reading works of #Shamba etc, we shouldn't forget their thoughts were clouded by colonial narratives. I find very strange and odd, fell for the black-white racist theories as well. The names like ಕಾಳವ್ವ, ಕರಿಯಪ್ಪ aren't specific to Kannada. Didn't we have काली & कृष्ण ?
How the bias does show up in #Shamba's writing. We should not forget a writer is product of their times.
Very clear #Shamba has totally fallen for the Dravida-Arya racist theories of the 18th-19th centuries.
Again #Shamba goes wrong about the locations of #Veeragallu Hero stones - They are pretty much found all over southern states + Maharashtra; Their presense in Maharashtra is not much of a surprise because of common rulers they had with Karnataka all the way from 2nd CE to 13th CE

@karatalaamalaka I think the language families in India can be explained by multiple migrations in prehistoric times; By historic times ( i.e. earliest archeological remains are at Mehrgarh, IIRC - which are 9000 years ago) - the two families had already settled in with some intermingling
@karatalaamalaka The due-east-Krittikas description put parts of the Veda at least around ~3000 BCE. the 1500- 600 BCE span as imaginged by Max Mueller must go back by at least 1500 years imo.

We have Vedanga Jyotisha corresponding to the sky situation ~1400 BCE (give or take a century)
@karatalaamalaka And VJ was NOT written outside of Saptasindhu - Very likely at the upper reaches of it like in Kashmira or in around Kubha river (Kabul) by the latitude indication. Definitely not much north or south of that location.

Interesting observation about a manuscript that may have been written in ~1850

#AbhinavaBharataSaraSangraha #RaSathyanarayana #MummaDiChikkaBhupala #Sippegowda Image
Remember some podcast where doubts were cast about Kautalya's authorship of #Arthashastra, because of the "Kautalya says" quotes in there.
But that is the way of Samskrta/Bharatiya/Indian texts till much later. Here is a text from ~1650, of #MummaDiChikkaBhupala of such self-ref Image
Every king, big and small has been compared to #BhojaRaja when they were supporting artists/poets. Here is the #Birudavali of #ImmadiChikkabhupala, aka #ChikkappagGowda , chieftain of Madhugiri, Karnataka ~1600CE Image

@sathvik_nv @acharya2 @Ashwin_K_Ash #ಅಯ್ಯೋಶಿವನೆ, ಶಂಬಾಜೋಶಿ, ಬಿಎಮ್‍ಶ್ರೀ ಅಥವಾ ಡಿಎನ್‍ಎನ್ ಅವರ ಕಾಲಕ್ಕೇ ಬೆಳಗಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವರಿಗೂ ಸಾವಿರಾರು ವರ್ಷದ ಹಿಂದಿನಿಂದ ಈ ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಳಿದವರು ಇಲ್ಲವೇ? ಹೊಸಬರ ಮಹತ್ವ ಗುರುತಿಸೋಣ. ಆದರೆ ಹಳಬರ ಹಿರಿಮೆ ಮರೆಯದಿರೋಣ. 🙏
@sathvik_nv @acharya2 @Ashwin_K_Ash ಇವತ್ತಿನ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ , ಓದಲು ಶಂಕರ ಭಟ್ಟರ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಕು ಕನ್ನಡದ್ದೇ ವ್ಯಾಕರಣ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಪುಸ್ತಕವೇ. ಆದರೆ , ಬಹುಪಾಲು ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರ ಗ್ರಂಥ ಗಳನ್ನು ಓದಲು ಬೇಕಾಗುವಂತೆ ಇದನ್ನು ಓದಲೂ ಒಂದು ಮಟ್ಟದ ತಯಾರಿ ಬೇಕು. ಅದಿಲ್ಲದೇ ಓದಿದರೆ ಕಷ್ಟ.

@sathvik_nv @acharya2 @Ashwin_K_Ash ಉದಾ: ಸಂಧಿಯನ್ನು ಸೇರಿಕೆ, ಸಮಾಸವನ್ನು ಒಟ್ಟುಪದ, ಕೂಡುಪದ ಎಂದು ಶಂಕರ ಭಟ್ಟರು ಹೇಳುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಕಾರಿ ಹೊಸ ವಿಚಾರ ಏನೂ ಹೇಳಲಿಲ್ಲ , ಬದಲಾಗಿ ಪಾರಿಭಾಷಿಕ ಪದ ಒಂದನ್ನು ಹೊಸದಾಗಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಪಾರಿಭಾಷಿಕ ಪದಗಳನ್ನು ಪೂರ್ವ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ವಾದದ್ದನ್ನೇ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಒಂದು ದಾರಿ ಆದರೆ ಇದು ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ದಾರಿ.ಎರಡೂ ಸರಿಯೇ.

#VivekaChintamani #NijagunaShivayogi

First time seeing association of Lion with the #madhyama swara. And also the nakshatra, tithi association with musical notes. Or at least if I had read earlier, I have forgotten 🙊 Image
#VivekaChintamani #NijagunaShivayogi #ವಿವೇಕಚಿಂತಾಮಣಿ #ನಿಜಗುಣಶಿವಯೋಗಿ He does not use the term #BatteesaRaga #BatteesRaag but calls them in Kannada as ಮೂವತ್ತೆರಡು ರಾಗಂಗಳು.

This one padya refutes nonsense arguments of social scientist star musician Asthana author at the Liar & Troll

1.Music as we see is a post Tyagaraja time phenomenon- He has a problem saying our music is 2000 year+ old
2.Karnataka Sangeeta is Brahamana dominated

And here a #Virashaiva kavi is describing a concert where they are singing nibaddha ( "composed,pre determined) & anibaddha ( manodharma,unbounded) types of music, in 3-sthayi & 9-rasas, including both dEsI & mArgI type

How the myth started..

Now reading the book by @bennedose Image
This is how the #ThaparHabibClan and their more famous international counterparts take into advantage most gullible people who read their books , who do not know a word of #Samskrta , forget knowing anything from #RgVeda!

#justsaying Image
This is exactly how the #ThaparHabibClan has perpetuated a myth of "repeated mention of killing of Dasyus in the #RgVeda".

I showed in another article how dubious was that by similar means. Image
