Biblical theory of India and the Myth of Ham - Birth of Caste based discrimination.

According to bible there was a great flood , and after which the descendants of Noah repopulated earth , his sons were Ham,Shem and Japheth. On one occasion Ham laughed at Noah’s nudity
and got cursed that ham and his descendants must forever live in servitude to the descendants of other two sons.

So for the Europeans dark skinned ppl were considered as descendants of Ham and it was the morale responsibly of white skinned Europens to compose a true history
for the tribes by dismissing their local narratives.

The Protestant movement considers Ham and it’s descendants are “ Satanic and bitter hatred “

And thus the holocaust btwn 1517 and 1840 of African slavery in USA was justified by bible.
“Slavery as it Relates to the Negros or African race” a book by Josiah Priest in 1843 appeared by dramatising how Noah had cursed Ham and ther by justifying slavery.

William Jones adopted this framework and started to racially profile Indians.
Jones mapped Indians as offspring of Ham,Arabs as from Shem and Tartars as from Japheth.And he used his newly discovered Sanskrit that Hindus had the characteristics of Ham.

Jones related hindu deity Ram to biblical Raamah and Ram’s son kusa to the biblical cusa grandson of Ham.
His theory was soon after the biblical floods Rama reconstructed Indian society and India was therefore the oldest biblical civilisations.

In doing so jones mapped Manu as Adam and located 3 of Vishnus avatars within the story of Noah’s floods.
The forth Vishnu avatar Narasimha was translated as Nimrod a descendant of Ham.

If something was mentioned in Sanskrit text which did not fit the biblical narrative it’s simply dismissed as mythology, for examples yugas the time line mentioned in the Vedas
Jones mapped the Hindu trinity, Bhrama, Vishnu and Siva as degraded version of the Christian Trinity

This theory was taken by Robert Caldwell and sought to separate North Indians and South Indians, this paved the way for Aryan-Dravidian theory.
This new found biblical knowledge became an efficient tool for undermining Indian civilisation for the British.

Mapping Tamil Saivism on to Dravidian Christianity in TN

In the very first attempt by the American Missionary Seminary in Batticotta Sri Lanka , a fundamentalist Protestant group working amoung Tamils ,
used its Tamil English journal “Morning Star” to attack saivites and Tamils as living in darkness, and also claimed it’s but by the Aryan-Brahmins and it had nothing of value.
This had proved to be counterproductive as Saivite scholars like Arumuga Navalar effectively countered it.

There fore the strategy was changed and G.U.Pope considered it the most attractive target for Christian appropriation.

Dravidia Muneerta Kalagam - DMK - is a missionary inspired evangelical party

In 1801 H.T.Colebrooke published an important article which claimed all Indian languages originated from Sanskrit, which was reassured in 1816 by Frank Bopp .
It was Alexander D. Campbell and Francis Whyte Ellis, collector of madras who refuted and said Tamil and were not from Sanskrit.their book “ Grammar of the teloogoo language” (1816) argues that Tamil and Telugu had common non Sanskrit ancestors.
No indian thinker previously had made such a bizarre claim.

Ellis claimed that Tamil is connected to Hebrew and also with ancient Arabic

Their logic was since William Jones considered Sanskrit to be a language of Ham and others scholars say Sanskrit language of Japheth ,

Kudos to Bengaluru South BJP MP Tejasvi Surya who has exposed a shameful scam in allocating ICU beds in the city, a scam involving hospitals, BBMP officials and agents. 4000+ beds are just "blocked" in the names of asymptomatic patients and others,
when really serious patients desperate for treatment are dying for a hospital bed, creating an artificial shortage. To unearth this scam, he had to analyze a lot of data to uncover a pattern, data that he collected facing so much harassment and blockade from the concerned city
Corporation officials, in spite of being an influential MP - he says. Just shows the deep rot that has set in our government machinery and administration.

The alleged exPM Manmohan Singh wrote an unsolicited letter to PM Modi in which he urged PM to allow the import of USmade vaccines.This despite the fact that India manufactures 60% of the world's vaccines and is best equipped to mobilize economies of scale to increase production.
Remember that GoI pays just INR 160 per vaccine. Contrast this with the US where the Big Pharma is paid between $ 38 and $ 93 per vaccine - that after the government funded R&D and trials.
The effect of Manmohan Singh's advocacy would be that American vaccines are imported and sold at exorbitant price in India while reinforcing the myth that they're superior to Indian-invented and manufactured vaccines - a myth the Congress party has disseminated.

Manmohan Singh has tested positive for Covid-19 and has been admitted to AIIMS. Grapevine has it that the doctors have successfully isolated the virus. They're reasonably confident that the contact with MMS hasn't made the virus less virulent, impotent, or servile.
Not leaving anything to chances, the doctors placed the virus they had extracted from MMS in a vial next to a person who chanted, "Sat Sri Akal!" The virus showed no interest in that person.
The vial containing the virus was placed next to a taxi driver and a truck driver who proudly proclaimed that they've applied for asylum in Canada. The virus ignored them too.

This is heartening.
