controlling the past to control the future
by sulkant soren on Aug 17, 2004 11:18 AM

if there r no such dravidians - aryan then why there huge dissimilarity between a north indian and south indian especially on physical features and language and also for so called proto-australoids in central and south india ?

using arbit dates shows ur dogmatic - fundamentalist stand by not recognising most objective - carbon dating technique.

slaughtering people to capture new territories doesn't seems barbaric to u - better god blesses the author with better intellect.

marxist historians - least of it they have exposed the real rotten of barbaric society - especially in reference to un-human caste system - under which their was an perfectly instituionalised subjugation of indegenous black race of indian subcontinent

cultural continuity - even if is true then why not even a single skeleton was belonging to fair people of north india. - for ur kind information some 15,000 year old skeleton belonging to proto-australoid race was found in shivalik hills.

historical mistake - there was nothing like india as a nation - it was like a geographic piece of land ruled by different rulers - so point of have 24.5% share in world trade is a myth.

Battlefield of Indian History

Any nation is proud of its history. Even when there is nothing much, nations try to project a glorious past. Except in India, wherein in Marxist historians have repeatedly tried to project a ignominious past. According to them India consists of weak people always ready and willing to be subjugated who welcomed invaders with open hands. The barbaric deeds and massacres of the invaders have either been blacked out or justified.
Bengal has borne the brunt of such massacres. Certainly the forefathers of these marxists would have been subjugated to heinous crimes and hardships. I cannot understand the marxist psyche. They are justifying the atrocities commited against their own ancestors. The present day marxists feel more comfortable and at home singing the glories of likes like Sirajudaullah and Aurangazeb.Shame on these fellows. Let the Marxists find glory in claiming that their ancestors willingly allowed atrocities to be committed on them. But please let them not impose such ideas on entire India. I do not want my children to grow up feeling that they are the descendants of a weak race.

Great article
by Vishal Dixit on Aug 17, 2004 10:25 AM

Thanks Mr. Rajeev for writing such an article. As stated in the article Max Mueller had denied the date for INDIAN history, but we are still bearing his old lie. I am sure the people of this country have very little faith in the history as taught in our schools/ colleges.

But point is, why our government is so shy for accepting the facts? Why do we not have courage to tell the west about truth which are based on scintific analysis?

A lot more public awareness is required to come out from this insulting history to glorious one.

Hats Off!

Hello Rajeev,
Nice to see this article this should open the eyes of many westerners but all the more that of the Indians who always shun Indian ideologies to the western thoughts. People .. this is India, cultural India, scientific India.

Hats off Rajeev again, great effort has gone into this and you deserve an outstanding applause.
Good Work , keep it up.

Marxists are highly intolerant
by Mahesh on Aug 17, 2004 09:45 AM

I fully agree with mr Rajeev Srinivasan.If you go through the history presented till date,you can clearly see it is fully biased.It was never even stated that different opinions are existing for a particular assumption.Marxists are highly intolerant;they cannot even give a look to a different opinion.One can say that in this aspect they are hundred percent unscientific and undemocratic.It is for obvious because their philosophy dont believe in democracy.It is too difficult for them to coexist in a democratic country.

Tragedy of Indian History Writing
by Ratan Sharda on Aug 17, 2004 09:34 AM

Dear Editor,

I thank you for showing courage to write on a subject which would immediately risk in you getting branded as a toxic element! Rajeev is already a rabid case of Saffron poison, so he is less at risk at being shot at by the watch dogs of the atrophied thinking which would have been thrown out in any other self respecting country. But, thanks to our 'rigorous' intellectual training by British and their fellow travellers in the form of leftist 'historians', the myths live on. No where does a social science refuse to learn from new findings. But, that is the tragedy of our great country. Its minds are being tried to be controlled by people who are more dogmatic and orthodox than even Catholic priests of yore. Are we condemned to be ruled by people of the caliber of Arujun Singhs et all? I don't know.

I agree
by anonymous on Aug 17, 2004 09:15 AM

Yes,of course,the british supported the so called aryan invasion theory-british wanted to see that indians never unite into a single group of people.so they tried to create divisions among the hindus and muslims,on name of religion,then they fuelled the aryan invasion theory so that the rift between the north and south indians exist.They have paid loads of money to max muller to voice his openions.We indias are foolish not to realise this even today. harvard university's genetic analysis of the dead remains people harappa shows that it is a beautiful genetic mix of people[features of north and south indians] exactly like todays india,as opposed to some who believed that harappa was a dravid land and aryans invaded.Both genetic types are residing in the same area.This totally falsifies even the belief that there is something called dravidian or something called aryan.today, some people in tamil nadu deliberately filter out al those tamil words that indicate sanskrit origin.sakli or chain in tamil is derived from shrinkhala of sanskrit.there are a million examples.malyalam is closest indian language to sanskrit. periyar and maxmuller for their own rise flamed such thoughts.

Indian history
by Prashant Mhaskar on Aug 17, 2004 06:11 AM

The author seems to bring forth some very compelling evidence. Can these `ground realities' that the authors refer to be verified by more `objective' parties (and I dont know if one such exists)? Either ways, I look forward to a retort by the `eminent historians', if they read this article. Hopefully this article can be the starting point for dispelling all the myths about Indian history, or establishing them to be true (and getting rid of these conspiracy theories) once and for all!
