ReplyDeleteKalluri Bhaskaram Garu, I appreciate your writings but it seems that all of your articles are depends on westeren writers opinion and no where you have not even considered lalest developments like Sarsavati Civilization (Actually most of all sites are located on Sarsvati but not Sindhu River). Presently the so called Aryan Civilization is not accepted by major scholars (World wide) and there are a lot of Vedic culture statues found in all over the world - even in Rome (Vatican city) there is Shiva Linga is found and in displayed in Museaum. Indian civiliztion is a continous process (There are a lot of attacks happened and it is known that Ancient Nalanda University is continuosly on fire for around 18 months - i.e., how much literature is lost) atleast 5/6 thousand years. Please visit the following web link for Sarasvati Civilization. http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/sarasvati/html/civilizationdates.htm

Deletethere are some yahoo groups 1) "IndiaArchaeology" Public group and 2) Hindu civilization - restricted which discusses about our Indian culture. If you are interested you can join and found lot of interesting topics.
I will send some information regarding Sarsavati Civilization.
Mean time I am giving a link on Youtube regarding Ellora Temples - title - Kailasa Temple in Ellora Caves - Built with Alien Technology? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Jl4HNDixc
There is a clear mention that - Aurangzeb employed a thousand workers to completely demolish this temple. In 1682, he ordered that that the temple be destroyed, so that there would be no trace of it. Records show that a 1000 people worked for 3 years, and they could only do a very minimal damage. They could break and disfigure a few statues here and there, but they realized it is just not possible to completely destroy this temple. Aurangzeb finally gave up on this impossible task.
Regarding Nalanda University fire I will try for references (Whose rule it is destroyed) like the above case it is also a true incident - may be 18 months is long time but can not be denied.
please go through article "Saraswati the ancient river lost in the desert" written by Sri A. V, Sankaran. It briefly describes about the lost River Sarsavati = current science, vol. 77, No. 8, 25 October 1999 = link = http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Downloads/article_id_077_08_1054_1060_0.pdf
DeleteThere are a lot of unknown scholars whom had done a lot of research regarding our ancient Indian Culutre. Regaridng The lost saraswati river topic some scholars of "Bharatiya Itihasa Sankalana Samiti" & " Sri Babasaheb Apte Smaraka Samiti" under Sri Waknkar an Inidan archeologist - (In 1957 Wakankar discovered the Bhimbetka rock caves. In 1970 UNESCO inscribed the Bhimbetka rock caves as a World Heritage Site = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V._S._Wakankar) and Dr. Chinataman Narayan Parachure initiated at Kurukshtra and started collecting the material, travel around Sarswati Dried River area, discussed with various scholars (1983 to 1985) and also coroborated the sattilite images of Sarswati river. As there are more positive evidences like a lot of Indus valley river sites are available in and around Sarsvati & even some western scholars are also agreed that "The Vedic Sarsavti" is not a mythe but it is a true. When Sarasvati River is florshid, i.e., around 4/5 thousand years back, the major tribunaries of "Sindhu River" as well as The Yamuna - the tributory of Ganges merged with Sarasvati River - It is originated from Mana of (Near Manas Sarover - All major Indian rivers like Ganga, Sindhu, Bramaputra originated there) traveled westwards through Kurukshtra, deserts of Rajastan, merged in Arabian sea - it is said that Lord Sri Krishna departure in the confluance of Sarsvati river with sea - Prabhasa Tirtha - ( River Saraswati traversed a distance of over 1600 km., through Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat, to reach Sindhu Sagar at Prabhas-Patan, Somnath).

DeleteNalanda Library: The exact number of volumes in the library is not known. But it is estimated to have been in the hundreds of thousands. The library not only collected religious manuscripts but also had texts on such subjects as grammar, logic, literature, astrology, astronomy, and medicine. The library must have had a classification scheme which was possibly based on a text classification scheme developed by the Sanskrit linguist, Panini. Buddhist texts were most likely divided into three classes based on the Tripitaka’s 3 main divisions: the Vinaya, Sutra, and Abhidhamma.
DeleteThe decline: In around 1200 CE, Bakhtiyar Khilji, a Turkic chieftain was in the service of a commander in Awadh. The Persian historian, Minhaj-i-Siraj in his Tabaqat-i Nasiri, recorded his deeds. Khilji was assigned two villages on the border of Bihar which had become a political no-man's land. Sensing an opportunity, he began a series of plundering raids into Bihar and was recognised and rewarded for his efforts by his superiors. Khilji decided to attack a fort in Bihar and was able to successfully capture it, looting it of a great booty. Minhaj-i-Siraj wrote of this attack.
Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar, by the force of his intrepidity, threw himself into the postern of the gateway of the place, and they captured the fortress, and acquired great booty. The greater no. of the inhabitants of that place were Brahmans. There were a great no. of books there; and, when all these books came under the observation of the Musalmans, they summoned a number of Hindus that they might give them information respecting the import of those books; but the whole of the Hindus had been killed. On becoming acquainted [with the contents of those books], it was found that the whole of that fortress and city was a college, and in the Hindui tongue, they call a college [مدرسه] Bihar.
This passage refers to an attack on a Buddhist monastery and its monks. The exact date of this event is not known, estimated from 1197 to 1206 AD. Many historians believe that this monastery which was mistaken for a fort was Odantapura, some are of the opinion that it was Nalanda itself. However, considering that these two Mahaviharas were only a few KMs apart, both very likely befell a similar fate. The other great Mahaviharas such as Vikramshila and later, Jagaddala, also met their ends at the hands of the Turks at around the same time.
Another important account of the times is the biography of the Tibetan monk-pilgrim, Dharmasvamin, who journeyed to India between 1234 and 1236. When he visited Nalanda in 1235, he found it still surviving, but a ghost of its past existence. Most of the buildings had been damaged by the Muslims and had since fallen into disrepair. But two viharas, which he named Dhanaba and Ghunaba, were still in serviceable condition with a 90-year-old teacher named Rahula Shribhadra instructing a class of about 70 students on the premises. Dharmasvamin believed that the Mahavihara had not been completely destroyed for superstitious reasons as one of the soldiers who had participated in the desecration of a Jnananatha temple in the complex had immediately fallen ill.
Dharmasvamin stayed there for six months and no mention of the legendary library of Nalanda which possibly did not survive the initial wave of Turkic attacks. He, however, provides an eyewitness account of an attack on the derelict Mahavihara by the Muslim soldiers stationed at nearby Odantapura (now Bihar Sharif). Only the Tibetan and his nonagenarian instructor stayed behind and hid themselves while the rest of the monks fled Nalanda. Contemporary sources end at this point. Tibetan works which were written much later suggest that Nalanda's story might have managed to endure for a while longer even if the institution was only a pale shadow of its former glory. The Lama, Taranatha, noted that a king of Bengal named Chagalaraja patronised Nalanda in the 14th & 15th, although no major work was done there.

Kalluri Bhaskaram Garu and Sarma Garu, I left M.Phil (History) in 1994 (Although Theory completed but Research topic remained - my topic is on Indian traditional scholars History writings and guide is Dr. Y.Sudarhsan Rao, present Chairperson of the Indian Council of Historical Research).
ReplyDeleteI met some great scholars as well as visited Sri Kota Venkatachalam's (He chalenged all Indain Historians either confirm his dates and ready for open debate or proof that he was wrong but there are no takers!!!) house in Vijayawada (There met a Russian and surprised to know that he came to India to collect the original books of Sri Kota Garu).
I also came to knew that Sri T.S.Narayan Sastri (A leading Madras High Court Vakil in late 19th & early 20th Cen AD) - interested in our Indian history, collected several books, palm leaves etc. - his collection includes - Kaliyuga Raja Vrittanata - a part of Bhavishya Purana - A historical document about our Indian Ruleres from Kaliyuga onwards upto Gupta Emperors - tallies and corrects with other Puranas like Sri Vishnu, Varaha, Bhagavata, Matsya which gave the rulers name - He even mentioned the titles of Gupta Empires - For example Sri Samudra Gupta has title of "Askoditya" - and opinion that his rule is from 321 BC to 270 BC, wrote in the chapter of The Magadha Kings, "The Age of Sankara Part I B" 1917 AD, The same Gupta titles were confirmed by Historians as there are some inscriptions whcih found in 1930 - 40s but same time they decided that Sri T.S. Narayan Satry colection is a fake!!! His property was sold by his sons to repay his debits (house value is around Rs. one lakh in 1920s)
(All Indian Kings dates after start of Kaliyga were moved forward, either cut or deleted - Sri Vikramaditya of 57 BC, Sri Salivahana were decided as fake emperors!! and Sri Kaniska of 12th Cen BC was adjusted to 1st cen AD), due to the so called wrong identification of Greek auther's 'Sandrokottas' with Chandra Gupta Maurya by Sir william Jones the first president of Asiatic Society in 1784, and still it continues as seveal Indian as well as Western orientalists doubt about the same (Sri Adi Sankaracharya Guru is Govinda pada acharya and his previous ashrama name is Chandra Sarma whom married four girls and father of Sri Harsha Vikramaditya - there are 3 famous Vikramadityas - he is first person and Chandra Gupta 2 whoes title is Vikramaditya is second and Saka Karta Vikramaditya of 57 BC is 3rd) of 5th Cen BC - all Sankara Matts except Sringeri accepts Sri Sankaras Birth date as 509 - 08 BC .
Here I want to mention a joke (Unfortunately our Indian History become) that as Sri Aryabatt (29/28th cen BC - he mentioned that he was 20 years old after 360 years of Kaliyuga - 60* 6 - but our historians taken it as 60*60 - 3600 years) was considered as younger to Sri Varaha Mihira simultaneously all Astronomers date were pushed forward but there is a problem with Sri Bhaskarachaya's date (As per present historians his date was decided in 12th Cen AD) but The Arab Astronomer Alberuni of 11th Cen AD wrote that he studied Sri Bhaskaracharyas books (12th Cen AD). How to solve the problem they created another Bhaskaracharya given him title as Bhaskara I (None of our Indian Astronomers new him)
There are three famous Ashokas (First one is Maurya King Ashoka of 14th Cen BC, 2nd is Kashmir King Ashoka 0f 12th Cen BC (Sri Kalahana mentioned him in Rajataranagani, Kashmir History book) and 3rd is Samdura Gupta alias Asokaditya of 3rd Cen BC) and regarding the so called Ashoka inscriptions there are different opinions - the said inscriptions are most probably that of Samudra Gupta alias Asokaditya.
DeleteThere is a strong argument that the so called "Sandrokottas" may be Chandra Gupta 1, Sandrocytus is Samudra Gupta and X/Andrems is the last Andhra King. It is known from Greek sources that a Selucus sent a order that if the magadha king sends his wife, will withdraw to enter India - (Chandra Gupta 1 had two wifes and Samudra Gupta is younger son - as his elder brother ready to summon his wife Samudra Gupta killed him, married his brothers wife and attacked Greek Kings defeated Selucus and Selucus was married his daughter with Samudra Gupta). Earlier our historians did not belive Samudra Guptas brother is already became king but there are some inscriptions available in his name (Rama Gupta or Kachha).
Our Puranas mentioned that Sri Maha Padma Nanda is a very cruel and powerful ruler - first Shudra Emperor in present Kali age - given him as a title of "Second Parasurama" as he killed/defeated around 90 kings (His mother was Shudra lady and father is Kshtriya king Nandi - as he was insulted by his step brothers he took revenge by finishing almost all Kshtiya rulers of his time) and all important Kshtriya King clans like Surya, Chandra, Hayeheya, Brihdratha (Jara Sandha - Sri Krishnas Maternal Uncle Kamsa's Father in law) dynasties vanished completly. Later on Brahmin Kings Rule (Sunga, Kanva, Satavahana)came after Maurya Rule as there are either no Kshtriyas or week rulers.
It is said that in around 7th Cen BC some Brahmins did homa (Four veda representives) and converted to Kshtriyas as there are no Kshtriyas (In AP all kshtriyas/Rajus had Brahmin Gotras - it is known from some inscriptions of Janamejaya/Pariskt that Pandavas Gotra is Vyghrapada and we do not know what is Surya vamsa gotra!) - Sri Vikramaditya of 57 BC belong to this clan.
Present DNA test also confirmed that Indian Brahmin, Kshtriya, Kayasta, Bhumihar of North India etc.., have same DNA!!!
Our Puranas mentioned that 1500 years of Kali age elapsed (3102 BC start of Kaliyuga) with the rule of Sri Mahapadma Nanda. As per Budhist/Jain literature Chandra Gupta of Maurya dynasty is (15th Cen BC) either Son or Grand Son Maha Padma Nanda (There are Nava Nandas; Maha padma nanda and his eight sons and ruled one hundread years)

“The Brahmins had advanced far in astronomy before the Greeks arrived in India in 327 B.C…. The fame of the Brahinin astronomers spread westwards, and their works were translated by the Arabs about 800 A. D. and so reached Europe.” (Brief History of the Indian People by W. W, Hunter, page 55.)
“In some points the Brahmins made advances beyond Greek astronomy. Their fame spread throughout the West, and found entrance into the Chronican Raschale commenced about 330 A.D. and revised under Heraclius.” (Between 610-641 A.D.) (Indian Gazetteer Vol. IV, P. 218.)
“An Indian astronomer, the Raja Jai Simha was able to correct the list of stars published by the celebrated French astronomer De-la-Hire in 1702 A.D.” (Brief History of the Indian People, by W.W. Hunter. P. 55)
Prof. Wilson says :-
“The science of astronomy at present exhibits many proofs of accurate observation and deduction, highly creditable to the science of Hindu astronomers.” (Mill’s History of India Vol. II, P. 106)
“During the eighth and ninth centuries the Arabs were in astronomy the disciples of Hindus.” (Weber’s Indian Literature) P. 255)
‘A very strange theory of the planetary motion is expounded at the commencement of the Suryasiddhanta, Chapter II, which is unknown outside India.” (Indian Wisdom By Monier William, P. 189)
“Till of late years we do not know with extreme exactness the longitudes of distant peaces.’ (Geographical Reader by C.B. Clarke, F.G.S.)
“The ancient Hindu method of finding longitude by first finding out the Desantara Ghatika, with the aid of observations made at the time of the lunar clipsee, is not only scientific but infalliable.” (Vide ‘Hindu Superiority’ by Har Bilas Sarada, p. 296, foot-note 1.)
The famous French astronomer Prof. Bailley wrote:
“The Hindu systems of astronomy are by far the oldest, and from them, the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and even the Jews derived their knowledge.” (Prof. Bailley, the famous French astronomer.)

వెంకట్రామ్ గారూ...మీరు శ్రమ తీసుకుని చాలా సమాచారం ఇచ్చారు. ధన్యవాదాలు. భారతదేశచరిత్ర అనేక చిక్కుముడులతో నిండినదనీ, ఎన్నో సమస్యల్ని పరిష్కరించాల్సి ఉంటుందనీ మీరు అనడం చూశాను. అది వాస్తవస్థితిని చెబుతుంది. ఆ చిక్కుముడులు విప్పుకోడానికి, సమస్యల పరిష్కారానికి ఎంత కాలం పడుతుందో తెలియదు.
DeleteKalluri Bhaskaram Garu, Let us wait and see & hope a positive not only towards Indian History but also about World History. Earlier scholars did not agree about our traditional Indian History but present trend changed as new findings all over world. Even some New Zealand Aborigines Scholars agree that their (Maori) culture has some similarities with India. Maori/Mayuri (Subramanaya Swami Vehicle)!!!
