History of India was written by historians of the West
The historians of the West were the originators of the history of India. Whatever the reasons, whatever the basis, it was the historians of the West who wrote the history of India. This history is being taught to young minds all over the world.
Unfortunately, the interest of India was the last thing on their minds. The historians discarded each and every norm required of a professional person.
The profession indulged in building up history out of complete lies. I say this, knowing that, it was not their ignorance, which could have been excusable, but it was their intentional desire to demean and derogate Hindu history and culture. In other words, the historians acted as criminals and terrorists, had a go at an innocent, defenseless country and its culture.
Mary Stanton and Albert Hyma, in their book Streams of Civilizations
(Vol. 1), provides an interesting detail in regard to an archaeological find. In 1856, while the first rail-road through the Indus River Valley was being built, two brothers found the ruins of ancient cities in a jungle area. The workmen used stone from these ruins to provide coarse gravel for their rail-road bed. In 1875, similar ruins were reported by Sir Alexander Cunningham, Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India. He saw characters written on a seal that had been found in the rubble. It was almost, 66 years later, in 1922, it was discovered that the cities were the centers of a wide-spread civilization.
The historians further explain that, in fact, there is so much evidence now to show that, very ancient people were highly skilled, that some historians have jumped to the conclusion that they must have come by spaceship from some more civilized planet out in space.
Cordier & Robert in History of World Peoples provide the following information: In the early 1920's, an Indian archaeologist, Rakhaldas Bannerji, discovered a number of little square things, like seals, with designs on them. They said that, Mohenjo-Daro had been a great city, thousands of years before. The streets of the city were straight and broad. Houses, some of them several stories high, were made of burned brick, and they had inside stairways and cellars and store-rooms. Most houses had their own wells. There were bath-rooms better than those most Europeans and Americans had up till the nineteenth century. The pottery pipes were still usable, even after 5000 years.
All sort of things were dug up – a model of a two-wheels cart, they knew how to make cotton cloth. It must have taken the people of the Indus valley centuries to build their wonderful civilization.
Centuries passed, the climate changed. The Indus river deposited layer after layer of sand and mud over the plain and buried all the clues to the Indus Valley civilization.
In fact, 1922 onwards, hundreds of sites have been found in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Many sites are even buried under new cities being built,
e.g. Chandigarh.
There were no bones or skeletons found at these sites, however, hundreds of seals were found.
W N Weech in History of the World, published in 1942, says that 'this early inhabitants of the Indus Valley knew the art of writing. Hundreds of seals and amulets have been found, but no one has yet managed to decipher them'.
Encyclopedia Britannica Macropedia, published in 1980, states that ' the Harappan script (others call it Indus Script) has long defied attempts to read it, and therefore the language remains unknown'.
It was of great importance to the historians that the script is deciphered and proved to be related to the Dravidian language, thus justifying the Aryan invasion and the destruction of the Dravidian culture. It would also confirm that Sanskrit did not originate in India.
The Indus-Harappan script provided short words, which were unrelated to Dravidian-Tamil script, and therefore remained undecipherable.
The historians and linguists had an earlier occasion to decipher another script. The Egyptian hieroglyphic and demotic scripts. These were primarily pictographic representation, later developed into a simpler linear representation. The attempts to decipher were made unsuccessfully since 1556.
Egypt was conquered by the great Napoleon in 1779. A large stone slab was found near the village Rosetta, hence this slab was named Rosetta Stone. This slab had inscriptions of a long priestly decree in three scripts in two languages, one Greek, a known language and two Egyptian, in hieroglyphic and demotic scripts. The slab was sent to France, where in 1822, the French Egyptologist, Jean Francois Champollion deciphered the decree, in turn the two unknown scripts.
In the case of Indus-Harappan script, no such lengthy inscriptions were available nor any Dravidian script were helpful. Therefore it remained undecipherable, until S R Rao, the archaeologist, and formerly the head of the Archaeological Survey of India, came along.
Dr Rao separated the script into simple letters and letters with additions. These were further separated into period-wise. He then obtained letters and their sound values, period-wise, of other scripts of West Asia. Bingo, Dr Rao managed to decipher the script.
The significance of the decipherment is that the South Arabic and the old Aramaic alphabets of West Asia, as well as the old Brahmi, are all derived from the Indus Harappa script. This script, together with the other two above, have provided scripts for most of the world languages.
Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa proved to be great ancient cities, with highly advanced civilization instead of mounds of skeletons covered in dirt. The river Sarasvati flowed impressively from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea. No wonder, these rivers were described as Sarasvati-Sinthaive Sagar.
The historians credited the Aryans for the writing of Rigveda in Sanskrit. The river Sarasvati has been praised profusely in the Rigveda. Wouldn't you wonder why it didn't appear in the history books? If the Mahabharat war was fought amongst the Aryans, wouldn't the engulfment of Dwarika, occurred few decades later, appear in the history books, too.
The important points that come out of Dr. S R Rao's findings,are that the civilization that existed was Vedic, where as the present one may be termed post-Vedic.

The significance of the decipherment is that the South Arabic and the old Aramaic alphabets of West Asia, as well as the old Brahmi, are all derived from the Indus Harappa script. This script, together with the other two above, have provided scripts for most of the world languages.
Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa proved to be great ancient cities, with highly advanced civilization instead of mounds of skeletons covered in dirt. The river Sarasvati flowed impressively from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea. No wonder, these rivers were described as Sarasvati-Sinthaive Sagar.
The historians credited the Aryans for the writing of Rigveda in Sanskrit. The river Sarasvati has been praised profusely in the Rigveda. Wouldn't you wonder why it didn't appear in the history books? If the Mahabharat war was fought amongst the Aryans, wouldn't the engulfment of Dwarika, occurred few decades later, appear in the history books, too.
The important points that come out of Dr. S R Rao's findings,are that the civilization that existed was Vedic, where as the present one may be termed post-Vedic.
History of India was written by historians of the West
The historians of the West were the originators of the history of India. Whatever the reasons, whatever the basis, it was the historians of the West who wrote the history of India. This history is being taught to young minds all over the world.
Unfortunately, the interest of India was the last thing on their minds. The historians discarded each and every norm required of a professional person.
The profession indulged in building up history out of complete lies. I say this, knowing that, it was not their ignorance, which could have been excusable, but it was their intentional desire to demean and derogate Hindu history and culture. In other words, the historians acted as criminals and terrorists, had a go at an innocent, defenseless country and its culture.
Mary Stanton and Albert Hyma, in their book Streams of Civilizations
(Vol. 1), provides an interesting detail in regard to an archaeological find. In 1856, while the first rail-road through the Indus River Valley was being built, two brothers found the ruins of ancient cities in a jungle area. The workmen used stone from these ruins to provide coarse gravel for their rail-road bed. In 1875, similar ruins were reported by Sir Alexander Cunningham, Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India. He saw characters written on a seal that had been found in the rubble. It was almost, 66 years later, in 1922, it was discovered that the cities were the centers of a wide-spread civilization.
The historians further explain that, in fact, there is so much evidence now to show that, very ancient people were highly skilled, that some historians have jumped to the conclusion that they must have come by spaceship from some more civilized planet out in space.
Cordier & Robert in History of World Peoples provide the following information: In the early 1920's, an Indian archaeologist, Rakhaldas Bannerji, discovered a number of little square things, like seals, with designs on them. They said that, Mohenjo-Daro had been a great city, thousands of years before. The streets of the city were straight and broad. Houses, some of them several stories high, were made of burned brick, and they had inside stairways and cellars and store-rooms. Most houses had their own wells. There were bath-rooms better than those most Europeans and Americans had up till the nineteenth century. The pottery pipes were still usable, even after 5000 years.
All sort of things were dug up – a model of a two-wheels cart, they knew how to make cotton cloth. It must have taken the people of the Indus valley centuries to build their wonderful civilization.
Centuries passed, the climate changed. The Indus river deposited layer after layer of sand and mud over the plain and buried all the clues to the Indus Valley civilization.
In fact, 1922 onwards, hundreds of sites have been found in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Many sites are even buried under new cities being built,
e.g. Chandigarh.
There were no bones or skeletons found at these sites, however, hundreds of seals were found.
W N Weech in History of the World, published in 1942, says that 'this early inhabitants of the Indus Valley knew the art of writing. Hundreds of seals and amulets have been found, but no one has yet managed to decipher them'.
Encyclopedia Britannica Macropedia, published in 1980, states that ' the Harappan script (others call it Indus Script) has long defied attempts to read it, and therefore the language remains unknown'.
It was of great importance to the historians that the script is deciphered and proved to be related to the Dravidian language, thus justifying the Aryan invasion and the destruction of the Dravidian culture. It would also confirm that Sanskrit did not originate in India.
The Indus-Harappan script provided short words, which were unrelated to Dravidian-Tamil script, and therefore remained undecipherable.
The historians and linguists had an earlier occasion to decipher another script. The Egyptian hieroglyphic and demotic scripts. These were primarily pictographic representation, later developed into a simpler linear representation. The attempts to decipher were made unsuccessfully since 1556.
Egypt was conquered by the great Napoleon in 1779. A large stone slab was found near the village Rosetta, hence this slab was named Rosetta Stone. This slab had inscriptions of a long priestly decree in three scripts in two languages, one Greek, a known language and two Egyptian, in hieroglyphic and demotic scripts. The slab was sent to France, where in 1822, the French Egyptologist, Jean Francois Champollion deciphered the decree, in turn the two unknown scripts.

It was of great importance to the historians that the script is deciphered and proved to be related to the Dravidian language, thus justifying the Aryan invasion and the destruction of the Dravidian culture. It would also confirm that Sanskrit did not originate in India.
The Indus-Harappan script provided short words, which were unrelated to Dravidian-Tamil script, and therefore remained undecipherable.
The historians and linguists had an earlier occasion to decipher another script. The Egyptian hieroglyphic and demotic scripts. These were primarily pictographic representation, later developed into a simpler linear representation. The attempts to decipher were made unsuccessfully since 1556.
Egypt was conquered by the great Napoleon in 1779. A large stone slab was found near the village Rosetta, hence this slab was named Rosetta Stone. This slab had inscriptions of a long priestly decree in three scripts in two languages, one Greek, a known language and two Egyptian, in hieroglyphic and demotic scripts. The slab was sent to France, where in 1822, the French Egyptologist, Jean Francois Champollion deciphered the decree, in turn the two unknown scripts.
In the case of Indus-Harappan script, no such lengthy inscriptions were available nor any Dravidian script were helpful. Therefore it remained undecipherable, until S R Rao, the archaeologist, and formerly the head of the Archaeological Survey of India, came along.
Dr Rao separated the script into simple letters and letters with additions. These were further separated into period-wise. He then obtained letters and their sound values, period-wise, of other scripts of West Asia. Bingo, Dr Rao managed to decipher the script.
The significance of the decipherment is that the South Arabic and the old Aramaic alphabets of West Asia, as well as the old Brahmi, are all derived from the Indus Harappa script. This script, together with the other two above, have provided scripts for most of the world languages.
Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa proved to be great ancient cities, with highly advanced civilization instead of mounds of skeletons covered in dirt. The river Sarasvati flowed impressively from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea. No wonder, these rivers were described as Sarasvati-Sinthaive Sagar.
The historians credited the Aryans for the writing of Rigveda in Sanskrit. The river Sarasvati has been praised profusely in the Rigveda. Wouldn't you wonder why it didn't appear in the history books? If the Mahabharat war was fought amongst the Aryans, wouldn't the engulfment of Dwarika, occurred few decades later, appear in the history books, too.
The important points that come out of Dr. S R Rao's findings,are that the civilization that existed was Vedic, where as the present one may be termed post-Vedic.
History of India was written by historians of the West
The historians of the West were the originators of the history of India. Whatever the reasons, whatever the basis, it was the historians of the West who wrote the history of India. This history is being taught to young minds all over the world.
Unfortunately, the interest of India was the last thing on their minds. The historians discarded each and every norm required of a professional person.
The profession indulged in building up history out of complete lies. I say this, knowing that, it was not their ignorance, which could have been excusable, but it was their intentional desire to demean and derogate Hindu history and culture. In other words, the historians acted as criminals and terrorists, had a go at an innocent, defenseless country and its culture.
Mary Stanton and Albert Hyma, in their book Streams of Civilizations
(Vol. 1), provides an interesting detail in regard to an archaeological find. In 1856, while the first rail-road through the Indus River Valley was being built, two brothers found the ruins of ancient cities in a jungle area. The workmen used stone from these ruins to provide coarse gravel for their rail-road bed. In 1875, similar ruins were reported by Sir Alexander Cunningham, Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India. He saw characters written on a seal that had been found in the rubble. It was almost, 66 years later, in 1922, it was discovered that the cities were the centers of a wide-spread civilization.
The historians further explain that, in fact, there is so much evidence now to show that, very ancient people were highly skilled, that some historians have jumped to the conclusion that they must have come by spaceship from some more civilized planet out in space.
Cordier & Robert in History of World Peoples provide the following information: In the early 1920's, an Indian archaeologist, Rakhaldas Bannerji, discovered a number of little square things, like seals, with designs on them. They said that, Mohenjo-Daro had been a great city, thousands of years before. The streets of the city were straight and broad. Houses, some of them several stories high, were made of burned brick, and they had inside stairways and cellars and store-rooms. Most houses had their own wells. There were bath-rooms better than those most Europeans and Americans had up till the nineteenth century. The pottery pipes were still usable, even after 5000 years.
All sort of things were dug up – a model of a two-wheels cart, they knew how to make cotton cloth. It must have taken the people of the Indus valley centuries to build their wonderful civilization.
Centuries passed, the climate changed. The Indus river deposited layer after layer of sand and mud over the plain and buried all the clues to the Indus Valley civilization.
In fact, 1922 onwards, hundreds of sites have been found in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Many sites are even buried under new cities being built,
e.g. Chandigarh.
There were no bones or skeletons found at these sites, however, hundreds of seals were found.

They said that, Mohenjo-Daro had been a great city, thousands of years before. The streets of the city were straight and broad. Houses, some of them several stories high, were made of burned brick, and they had inside stairways and cellars and store-rooms. Most houses had their own wells. There were bath-rooms better than those most Europeans and Americans had up till the nineteenth century. The pottery pipes were still usable, even after 5000 years.
All sort of things were dug up – a model of a two-wheels cart, they knew how to make cotton cloth. It must have taken the people of the Indus valley centuries to build their wonderful civilization.
Centuries passed, the climate changed. The Indus river deposited layer after layer of sand and mud over the plain and buried all the clues to the Indus Valley civilization.
In fact, 1922 onwards, hundreds of sites have been found in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Many sites are even buried under new cities being built,
e.g. Chandigarh.
There were no bones or skeletons found at these sites, however, hundreds of seals were found.
W N Weech in History of the World, published in 1942, says that 'this early inhabitants of the Indus Valley knew the art of writing. Hundreds of seals and amulets have been found, but no one has yet managed to decipher them'.
Encyclopedia Britannica Macropedia, published in 1980, states that ' the Harappan script (others call it Indus Script) has long defied attempts to read it, and therefore the language remains unknown'.
It was of great importance to the historians that the script is deciphered and proved to be related to the Dravidian language, thus justifying the Aryan invasion and the destruction of the Dravidian culture. It would also confirm that Sanskrit did not originate in India.
The Indus-Harappan script provided short words, which were unrelated to Dravidian-Tamil script, and therefore remained undecipherable.
The historians and linguists had an earlier occasion to decipher another script. The Egyptian hieroglyphic and demotic scripts. These were primarily pictographic representation, later developed into a simpler linear representation. The attempts to decipher were made unsuccessfully since 1556.
Egypt was conquered by the great Napoleon in 1779. A large stone slab was found near the village Rosetta, hence this slab was named Rosetta Stone. This slab had inscriptions of a long priestly decree in three scripts in two languages, one Greek, a known language and two Egyptian, in hieroglyphic and demotic scripts. The slab was sent to France, where in 1822, the French Egyptologist, Jean Francois Champollion deciphered the decree, in turn the two unknown scripts.
In the case of Indus-Harappan script, no such lengthy inscriptions were available nor any Dravidian script were helpful. Therefore it remained undecipherable, until S R Rao, the archaeologist, and formerly the head of the Archaeological Survey of India, came along.
Dr Rao separated the script into simple letters and letters with additions. These were further separated into period-wise. He then obtained letters and their sound values, period-wise, of other scripts of West Asia. Bingo, Dr Rao managed to decipher the script.
The significance of the decipherment is that the South Arabic and the old Aramaic alphabets of West Asia, as well as the old Brahmi, are all derived from the Indus Harappa script. This script, together with the other two above, have provided scripts for most of the world languages.
Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa proved to be great ancient cities, with highly advanced civilization instead of mounds of skeletons covered in dirt. The river Sarasvati flowed impressively from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea. No wonder, these rivers were described as Sarasvati-Sinthaive Sagar.
The historians credited the Aryans for the writing of Rigveda in Sanskrit. The river Sarasvati has been praised profusely in the Rigveda. Wouldn't you wonder why it didn't appear in the history books? If the Mahabharat war was fought amongst the Aryans, wouldn't the engulfment of Dwarika, occurred few decades later, appear in the history books, too.
The important points that come out of Dr. S R Rao's findings,are that the civilization that existed was Vedic, where as the present one may be termed post-Vedic.
History of India was written by historians of the West
The historians of the West were the originators of the history of India. Whatever the reasons, whatever the basis, it was the historians of the West who wrote the history of India. This history is being taught to young minds all over the world.
Unfortunately, the interest of India was the last thing on their minds. The historians discarded each and every norm required of a professional person.
The profession indulged in building up history out of complete lies. I say this, knowing that, it was not their ignorance, which could have been excusable, but it was their intentional desire to demean and derogate Hindu history and culture. In other words, the historians acted as criminals and terrorists, had a go at an innocent, defenseless country and its culture.
Mary Stanton and Albert Hyma, in their book Streams of Civilizations
(Vol. 1), provides an interesting detail in regard to an archaeological find. In 1856, while the first rail-road through the Indus River Valley was being built, two brothers found the ruins of ancient cities in a jungle area. The workmen used stone from these ruins to provide coarse gravel for their rail-road bed. In 1875, similar ruins were reported by Sir Alexander Cunningham, Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India. He saw characters written on a seal that had been found in the rubble. It was almost, 66 years later, in 1922, it was discovered that the cities were the centers of a wide-spread civilization.
The historians further explain that, in fact, there is so much evidence now to show that, very ancient people were highly skilled, that some historians have jumped to the conclusion that they must have come by spaceship from some more civilized planet out in space.
