THREAD: The Civilisational Journey of Hindus in Hindustan
When I say Hindu, I mean everyone who belongs to this land, except the invaders.
It’s not a religion, it’s a civilisational identity. A shorthand for the eternal culture of this soil.

2/ Our civilisation doesn’t begin in 1500 BC with a so-called “Aryan Invasion.”
It stretches back to 9000 BC, proven by archaeological finds at sites like Bhagor (MP), Rakhigarhi, Bhirrana, Sonali.
The Aryan Invasion/Migration theory is dead propaganda.

3/ From the Atharva Veda’s Prithvi Sukta (the oldest civilisational hymn to Mother Earth) to the continuity of river hymns, fire altars, Swastika, Peepal tree, Yogasanas, & Proto-Shiva seals in Indus Valley-our cultural DNA is unbroken.
4/ Unlike Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece-civilisations that turned to dust, Bharat alone carries a living civilisation. Bruised, attacked, but never broken.
5/ Western historians sidelined our epics as “myths.” But inscriptions, genealogies in Puranas, & archaeological finds confirm continuity.
Ramayana & Mahabharata aren’t “stories”- they are history with memory.

6/ The myth of Brahminical oppression collapses before inscriptions.
👉 Sanchi Stupa has 631 inscriptions-almost all donations by common folk: artisans, ivory carvers, housewives.
👉 Mathura’s Ayagapattas: 99% donated by women, from ordinary families.
👉 The first Saraswati murti was donated by a Lohar (blacksmith).

7/ So who sustained this civilisation?
Not kings, not priests.
It was ordinary Hindus-artisans, workers, women; who kept the fire burning for millennia.

8/ Invaders before 7th century, Greeks, Shakas, Kushanas, Hunas; merged into this civilisation. They became Hindu, Buddhist, Jain.
No forced imposition. No mass destruction.

9/ But from 712 CE onwards, with Mohammad bin Qasim’s invasion of Sindh, everything changed.
For the first time, temples were attacked-like the Sun Temple of Multan. Idols desecrated with animal flesh.

10/ Hindus resisted. Raja Dahir fought till his last breath. His son reconverted & continued the resistance. Wives of warriors chose Satī or urged soldiers never to give up.
11/ It took Ar@bs & Turks 400 years to enter Punjab. Hindu Shahi rulers-Jaipal, Anandpal, Trilochanpal, Bhimpal-sacrificed generations defending Bharat.
12/ Even after the Delhi Sultanate was established, for 100 years they couldn’t expand beyond Delhi. Resistance was everywhere.
13/ The propaganda of “Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb” is a lie.
For the first 100 years, no Indian Muslems or Hindus were allowed in power. Only under Akbar-out of political compulsion, Rajputs & Indian Muslems were included. And both sides hid those alliances.

14/ Isl@mic ulema themselves debated: Why not convert all Hindus by force?
Answer: “We are like salt in food now. When our numbers increase, we will do it.” – Sultan Iltutmish.

15/ From Sirhindi’s letters to Aurangzeb’s Fatwa-e-Alamgiri, the idea of Hindu-Muslem unity was always false. The two-nation theory was born in Isl@mic courts, centuries before Jinnah.
16/ Our temples were destroyed, but faith was never.
If a murti broke, Hindus carried it away, protected it, & re-installed it after danger passed.
Because a temple site is eternal- “Once a temple, always a temple.”

17/ Despite invasions, loot, forced conversions-our civilisation survived. Why?
Because ordinary Hindus refused to let it die.
Because the dharmic spirit cannot be erased- it regenerates like the Peepal tree.

18/ Today, with new archaeological finds & re-examination of inscriptions, the truth of Hindus of Hindustan is resurfacing.
The lies of colonial & Marxist historians are collapsing.

19/ We are the inheritors of the world’s oldest living civilisation.
Bruised but alive. Attacked but never surrendered.
This continuity is our greatest strength.

20/ As historian Meenakshi Jain ji says- Bharat alone stands as the unbroken civilisational journey from the Vedas to today.
And it’s our dharmic duty to protect & carry it forward.
🚩जय हिंद 🚩
