Bharat Ek Khoj - Episode 2 - The Beginnings - Part 3

The ancient Aryan invasion theory is fallacious. Though they may have been Aryans (the Indo-European) civilization, there is no evidence that suggests that Aryans invaded India. If any evidence, it only shows that there was peaceful integration of Aryans (if they existed outside India) and Indians.

This is true history of india, Aryans(outsiders) people destroyed our history and civiliezation 2500 years ago. Our people were peacefully living in India. Up till now you are still ruling on our people(SC, ST, OBC), but now time is changing. Our people are getting aware of thier history and regaining their powers.

It's high time that people get wider exposure to writings other than leftist historians at the ICHR. For example, David Frawley, Koenraad Elst, Shrikant Talageri, Nicholas Kazanas, Sri Aurobindo, and many others who are rejecting the old theories, and attempting to look for the TRUTH in a TRUTHFUL manner, without hidden agendas and motives, that the colonial-funded 19th century academics had.

And the reference to breaking of dams by "Aryans" is entirely wrong. The hymn in the Rigveda referring to the breaking of the dam does not even refer to the physical land or people. It's a symbolic or atmospheric event. See Aurobindo's writings for a more truthful explanation of the Rigved and the Vedic culture.

And the reference to the 'dark-skinned' priest is so wrong and ironic, considering the fact that many "aryan" Vedic rishis like Vasishtha, Kanva, Bharadwaja, were very dark.

Well, here it is again... the old fallacious Aryan invasion theory. And it is extremely painful to listen to the terminology used by western "scholars" translated in Hindi and used. Words like "Arya" have never meant a particular race or ethnic group. Nehru is not entirely to blame, because he was not a historian, and he followed the theories put forth by western academics. I say, why are present-day academics and historians in India still clinging to these old theories?

It is all bullshit. Nehru was wrong.
