Scrapbook One Hundred Twenty Six…JANUARY 2. Personality Galore. You know, I really hate to brag about some of my stuff, especially since Tesuque just won the Blue Ribbon for being the best pet on the internet. But honesty compels me to admit that I possess the most interesting hat on this blog. Click on this photo to see the hat close- up. Her name is Mildew. Gilmore Isms Season 5. She was given to me by the son of a guy named Dither who hunted coyotes in the Bosque.
He was lanky and spoke with a slow kind of drawl that made him look taller. He was wearing the hat when he died, and no one can explain why it exploded from the inside out. Watch Star Trek Online Fandango there. Maybe the bob wire hatband had something to do with it. In any case, I’m not going to ever wear the hat. I hereby make the assertion that Mildew has more personality than any other hat within word distance of Santa Fe, and I dare anyone to challenge that claim.

The Myth of Aryan Invasion Theory. Aryan Invasion Theory has been proved to be a myth and as a wrong theory long back. But let me explain in detail the actual history and dirty politics behind this theory. Note that this theory was used as a basis by Hitler to advocate his theory of the supremacy of the Aryan race and to mindlessly kill whom he claimed to be non- aryans!
Origin of the Aryan Invasion Theory. Let us first see why the Aryan Invasion Theory was required. It all started with the rediscovery of the Indian origin in many of the European languages and cultures. About languages like Greek, Latin, German and then later English all being influenced by Indian Sanskrit language. About the discovery of Indian culture and science influencing the science and culture in Europe, especially in Greek and Rome. At an era when colonialism was ruling India, how can they digest the fact that their language, culture and science came from India? So a spin off began in the form of Aryan Invasion Theory that ancient Northern Indians were descendants of an European Race called Aryans who invaded India in the ancient past.
So this would mean that, Indian culture and language itself came from Europe or Central Asia (whichever part they imagined) and not the other way round. Even the imaginary PIE or Proto- Indo European language is also the result of a similar spin off theory which tries to deny the Sanskrit origin of European languages by trying to attribute it to some imaginary PIE language, and they saying that both Sanskrit and European languages descended from this PIE! Read more about the imaginary language PIE and Sanskrit influence on English here.
To understand how the Church operates, you need to know its history. The following content in block quotation will give you a very short history of the Church.
So both, Aryan Invasion Theory and PIE are both efforts to deny the Indian Origin of the European languages and Culture. Definition of the Aryan Invasion Theory. Let us now see what the Aryan Invasion Theory says. It calls the race which belonged to the vedic age as Aryans. It says that at around 1. BC Aryans, (which it says was a tribe from the Europe) invaded north India plundering and pushing down the local Dravidians (who it says were the original natives of India) who lived there to down South India.
In a nutshell, it says the North Indians of today belong to an Aryan race which came to India from Europe and today’s South Indians are the native Indians (called Dravidian Race!) who lived in North India before the Aryans came! The vedic people who lived in North India during the vedic ages were these Aryans, it says! First let us see how did they arrive at these dates! It was well known in India in the british period that Vedas pre- dated Christ, since they definitely pre- dated Buddha who lived some 4. Christ. Some scholars(!) then said that as per Bible the world was created in 4. Watch The Big Stampede Online The Big Stampede Full Movie Online more. BC(!), and Noah’s flood took place in 2.
BC(!). So they decided that Aryan Invasion of India must have taken place only after this flood and before Buddha, and hence would be around 1. BC! This is the funniest investigation I have ever heard about.
I doubt if anybody can dare to call this a scientific investigation! This is what some call as, adjusting history to be compliant with religious texts. Now let us see some of the obvious proofs that have thrown this theory into dustbin. Aryan is not a Race! First of all Aryan is not a race. No where in the vedas and other ancient Indian text is the terms Aryan used to refer to a race!!
Aryan in Sanskrit means a Noble Person. When the Sanskrit texts referred to any foreigners as anarya, they only meant they were not noble people. Because we also have references where within their own race, they referring to people who are not noble as anarya. Even Max Muller who initially termed vedas as childish (only to be later criticized by other scholars as a person who doesnt know even basic sanskrit!), later tried to correct himself in many occassions about the Aryan race! He said: I have declared again and again that if I say Aryas, I mean neither blood nor bones, nor hair, nor skull; I mean simply those who speak an Aryan language.
To me an ethnologist who speaks of Aryan race, Aryan blood, Aryan eyes and hair, is as great a sinner as a linguist who speaks of a dolichocephalic dictionary or a brachycephalic grammar. Max Mueller, Biographies of Words and the Home of the Aryas, 1. Dravidians are not a separate race! The people of south India whom the Aryan Invasion theory says were the original natives, are NOT a race separate from the North Indians!
They all belong to one and the same race. The ancient Indian civilization.
The languages of both, the so called Aryan and Dravidian people share too much with the ancient Sanskrit language. Both worship the same Gods. Both have the same epics. Both have same philosophies. Both have histories which date back to BCE. Given these facts, how can then Aryans and Dravidians be two separate races? If Aryans had invaded India then why are Dravidians following the same customs and religion as Aryans.
How do they speak languages which are heavily influenced by a common ancient language? Why dont any dravidian folk lore or ancient texts or sayings or stories or epics exist which talk about the so called Aryan invasion? Also why do the vedic texts talk about locations in South India? The Ramayana, Mahabharatha all talk about South Indian locations even below and beyond the main land of India into the Indian ocean like Srilanka! If Aryans were from europe and if they invaded North India and pushed local people down to South India, where did these locations come from?
This proves beyond doubt that there do not exist any separate Aryan and Dravidian races. Instead natives of both North India and South India belong to one single race called the Vedic Indian race! No Mention of Europe! There is no mention of any location outside the mainland of India in any of the vedic texts!
If aryans came from Europe, then why havent the so called aryans mentioned any of the european locations in any of the vedic or related texts? The farthest location away from India towards the west mentioned in the vedas is Kadhahar of present day Afghanistan, which was called Gandhar in the vedic texts and was said to be the kingdom of Shakuni. Why haven’t any of the texts mentioned about their European locations? Why is there no vedic text which talks about migration from Europe? No European Rivers! None of the vedic texts talk about rivers outside India!
Everybody knows that rivers were the major sources of water for all ancient civilizations and so all ancient civilizations were centered around the world’s major rivers. Why is there no mention of any European river or a river outside India anywhere in the vedic texts? Wouldn’t a race mention something or the other about its native place in at least one of its texts? Saraswati River. This is a death blow to the Aryan Invasion theory.
According to the Aryan Invasion theory the aryans who invaded India in around 1. BC settled on the banks of Indus or Sindhu river in North India. The vedic texts talk about Ganga Yamuna Saraswati as the trio river , the three great rivers of their age. Ganga and Yamuna rivers exist even today in North India and till sometime back Saraswati was thought to be a mythological river. But vedas talk about Saraswati as a mighty river that flowed in the north India during the vedic ages! There is also the mention of the Ganga Yamuna Saraswati merging at a place called Prayag , which was also called the Triveni Sangam (the current Allahabad in North India where today only Ganga and Yamuna meet).
It is said that the Saraswati that merged here with the other two rivers was a subterranean channel of the main river of Saraswati. The Mahabhartha talks about Saraswati river saying that it dried up in a desert!
So it has to be noted here that Mahabhartha can be dated back to the drying up of the Saraswati river!
