The story of real brown "Americans". Their rituals resemble those of Bharat, and they believe they have emerged from beneath the world.

The Navajo, the original Americans, are the most populous of all Native American peoples in the United States, with approximately 300,000 individuals living in New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah and the insignifant to the invaders.

As for the mixed Spaniards who label themselves as "white Americans," they must return to Spain. Tag them who call themselves as Americans. Also Tag the original American and support them

P.S. 12,000 years ago, Asia and America were connected and could be reached by foot.

Indian Ten Commandments:

- The earth is our mother, care for her.
- Honor all your relations.
- Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit.
- All life is sacred, treat all beings with respect.
- Take from the earth what is needed and nothing more.
- Do what needs to be done for the good of all.
- Give constant thanks to the Great Spirit for every new day.
- Speak the truth but only of the good of others.
- Follow the rhythms of nature; rise and retire with the sun.
- Enjoy life's journey but leave no tracks.

The above commandments are similar to Hindu beliefs of nature lover.

For years, the Navajo defended their land against Mexican and New Mexican slave traders and livestock raiders. In 1848, the U.S. Army arrived. Between 1863 and 1866, the army marched about 11,500 Diné people 400 miles to a desolate reservation at Bosque Redondo in New Mexico. In 1868, the Navajo became the only Native Nation to use a treaty to escape removal and return to their home. This treaty was written on paper taken from an army ledger book. Article 2 is the crucial one that defines the Navajo reservation.

Pueblo Rebellion, (1680), carefully organized revolt of Pueblo Indians (in league with Apaches), who succeeded in overthrowing Spanish rule in New Mexico for 12 years. A traditionally peaceful people, the Pueblos had endured much after New Mexico’s colonization in 1598. Catholicism was forced on them by missionaries who burned their ceremonial pits (kivas), masks, and other sacred objects. Indians were tried in Spanish courts and received severe punishments—hanging, whipping, dismemberment (of hands or feet), or condemnation to slavery

Novajo language was so unknown that during WWI and especially WWII, Native American soldiers used their native languages as codes to send sensitive military messages over open radio waves.

Navajo nation has banned genetic studies may be due to their commandment of 'leave no trace of life'.7/12 Image
Of late however, Novajo people have given some survey and likely to turn to agreement for further genetic studies @Rene_Begay for the update.

In 1940 by a proclamation, Novajo dropped #Swastika their sacred symbol because it was desecrated by Hitler.

Novajo people's starking similarity with Sanatan beliefs raises curiosity to know their ancestory Novajo could be Indian who migranted thousands of years ago as were Gypsies. Gypsies also migrated from India to rest of the world long back

1️⃣ The Vedas were not composed "somewhere in ancient India".

They name three rivers: Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati. That confluence is today's Haryana belt.

This isn't ideology. This is internal geographic evidence the texts themselves provide.

So why does nobody mention the location? 🌊

#HaryanaFalse-color satellite map showing the Saraswati, Indus and other river channels across Rajasthan and Haryana, with cities Jaisalmer and Jodhpur labeled.
2️⃣ Now listen to the "Dehati" speech of Haryana.

"Tu kit ja sai"
"Tu ke kha sai"
"Tu ke pi sai"

These aren't translations of Sanskrit.
They ARE Sanskrit sentences after 3,000 years of phonetic erosion.

The rural tongue is the archive. Six Haryanavi/hariyanaka women in colorful salwar kameez stand beside a red agricultural seeder on a paved courtyard with green fields and trees behind them.
3️⃣ tvam kutra gacchasi → tu kit ja sai
tvam kim khādasi → tu ke kha sai

Same syntax. Same verb roots. Only endings simplified.

This is linguistic continuity, not borrowing. Not revival. Not reconstruction.

Just unbroken speech, wearing down naturally over millennia. Image

1️⃣ A 10,000 BCE cave painting just cracked open India's migration mystery

Bhimbetka artists drew a two-horned rhino. The species never lived in central India.

But before we decode ancestral memory, let's talk about colonial amnesia.

Before 1800, approximately 20,000 rhinos roamed Bengal and Assam.

By 1908? Barely 200. 🦏💰

#DecolonisationImage
2️⃣ British trophy hunting didn't just reduce numbers. It systematically erased a species from entire geographies.

Major-General Richard Carnac killed 30 rhinos in a single year near Purnea, Bihar, 1780s. Sport, they called it. Extinction engineering, more accurately.

Each horn fetched £100-150 in Victorian markets. Aphrodisiac myth met colonial greed.Image
3️⃣ The Bhimbetka paintings now make perfect sense.

Austroasiatic peoples migrated from Southeast Asia through Indonesia-Thailand-Myanmar around 10,000 years ago—the exact route Sumatran rhinos took. They carried ancestral memory of two-horned creatures, painted them centuries later at Bhimbetka.

January 2024: Tamil Nadu excavations at Molapalayam unearth 3,600-year-old rhino bones. First direct evidence of Indian one-horned rhinos in deep South.

1/ Aryan Migration Theory has a math problem.

Not political. Not ideological. Mathematical.

If sophisticated Indo-Europeans brought decimal systems to India around 1500 BCE, show me their source culture's mathematics. 🔢

I'll wait. Image
2/ Reconstructed Proto-Indo-European:

Counting to 100 ✓
Basic addition/multiplication ✓
Systematic large numbers ✗
Decimal place value ✗
Zero as concept ✗
Cosmological calculations ✗

Pontic-Caspian steppe, 4000-2500 BCE.
No mathematical texts. No astronomical observatories.Image
3/ Compare what supposedly migrated TO India:

Greek: imported Egyptian geometry, Babylonian astronomy
Latin: borrowed Greek mathematics wholesale
German: million (Latin), Milliarde (French)
Slavic: миллион (million) - borrowed

Every Indo-European branch borrowed large number terms.Image

THREAD 4
WHEN LAW REPLACED CUSTOM
(surnames, forms, the myth of timeless patriarchy)

1️⃣
This is where the break happens.

Not in ancient India.
Not in temples.
Not in epics.

But in files, registers, and forms. Image
2️⃣
Pre-modern India ran on custom.

Identity was local.
Lineage could be maternal.
Marriage could be flexible.

The system worked because society did not need every child tied to a named father.
3️⃣
Colonial administration could not function like that.

The state needed:
Land titles.
Tax rolls.
Census categories.
Inheritance clarity.

Custom was messy.
Plurality was inefficient.

So lineage had to be fixed.

ASI calls it a "graceful threshold of history."

October 1502: 400 pilgrims locked in a ship and burned alive at sea by the man this arch honors.

This is what government curation looks like when it erases inconvenient details.

Thread on what ASI forgot to mention. 🧵

#GemsofASI MNI500A stone relief features a figure dressed as a viceroy, holding a sword, near a coat of arms and inscriptions, symbolizing colonial history.
Vasco da Gama's second voyage, October 1502:

Intercepted the pilgrim ship Miri near Madayi. 400+ passengers. 50 women and children.

Looted it. Locked them inside. Set it ablaze.

Eyewitnesses Thomé Lopes and Gaspar Correia documented mothers holding babies through portholes.

Francisco da Gama built this arch in 1600 during his viceroyalty (1597-1600).

Historical record by then:

• 300 temples demolished in Bardez (1567)
• Goa Inquisition active (1560-1812, 16,000+ documented trials)
• Dec 4, 1567 decree: Hindu marriages, sacred threads, cremations banned

Thread 3

WHEN WOMEN WERE LINEAGE, NOT DEPENDENTS
(Travancore, matriliny, 1920s)

1️⃣
Here is the part most people don’t expect.

These systems did not vanish in antiquity.
They survived into the 20th century.

This is not rock art.
This is documentation. Image
2️⃣
In parts of Kerala and Travancore, lineage followed the woman.

Property.
Household identity.
Social continuity.

Children belonged to the mother’s line.
Not the father’s surname.

This was not chaos.
It was a functioning social order.
3️⃣
Relationships were recognised through custom, not sacrament.

Sambandham-type unions existed.
Women could enter and exit relationships.
Sexual exclusivity was not the foundation of legitimacy.

A child did not need a certified father to be socially valid.

That detail matters.
