Rediscovering Vedic Era
Basudeb Ghose

Any Hindu(=Indian) voter is expected to be very delighted to read your copy-publication of an Article from the Hindu, which reveals the glorious past of Bharat. I am referring to BJP TD April 1-15, 2003, P.22.

It is pleasing to note that the BJP does not have the mindset of the Gandhi-Nehruvian Congress and their foreign friend such as Kipling who believed and publicly expressed the idea that it was the duty or burden of the white man to make Asians and Africans more civilised by ruling them.

Congress leaders received privilege for accepting as puppets such false justification for exploitation of people so ruled.

To preserve this false theory based on self-interest and abhorrence for historical truth, the following strategies were necessary:

1. Constant denial that Indian Aryan civilisation was older than the Christian and Egyptian civilisations.

2. India was a rich country and Bengal a Golden province in world standard of that time, but from 1757 slow and steady impoverishment through exploitation set in, with able assistance from the Congress and Communists, and these places became one of the poorest by 1947. The best way to conceal this truth was to claim that Indians were always backward and they were helped to progress by invading Aryans who it was claimed came from anywhere in Europe, from Scandinavia to Russia and from Mongolia to North Pole.

3. We shall give you an account of the economic history of the world from the Greeko-Roman time, at a later date. In the meantime, we would like to contradict point 2 above and quote evidence in favour of our assertion.

In the North and Western part of India in the area called Aryavarta, numerous remains of settlement by the civilised Aryans were found by archaeologists. In fact, outside India, nowhere else has anybody found similar relics which resembled closely those found in Mohenjodaro or Harappa. Hence, our alternative explanation that Barbarians came to India from outside and established Aryan civilisation by coming in contact with Indian or Hindu Aryans. Hence, Aryans had primarily evolved in India during the Vedic era, and all Indians descended from them are Aryans. Hence, Brahmins, and Dalits, Aryans and Dravidians and converted Muslims are all progeny of Hindu Aryans who evolved in Aryavarta in the first place. It will now be pertinent to give a brief account of the Vedic Aryan Civilisation.

This civilisation is 8,500 to 10,000 years old; some well-established part of it like the Dwarka of ShreeKrisna became submerged under the Arabian sea, when the ice age receded and oceans expanded to sink much coastal lands around 10,000 years ago.

The Saraswati was a mighty river in Vedic times and according to Vedic description it roared like an ocean. With the ending of the Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, Himalayan glaciers melted and flowed into the Saraswati.due to earthquakes and floods, it changed its course over six times. It dried up as the Ice age stocks of ice in the glacier were exhausted with a warmer climate.This led to high level fresh water lakes which also drid up eventually.It was mostly dry and went subterranean 4000 years ago. On a rough estimate, it was a flowing mighty river at the time of the RigVeda but dried up by the time of the Mahabharata. It had flowed between Jamuna in the east and Sutlej in the west, and reached the Arabian sea through the Rann of Kutch. In its dry bed in Rajasthan water can be found below 60 feet and carbon-dating reveals that the water is a few thousand years old and there has been no recent input.

Only two city states developed outside the rich basins of Saraswati. For example, Harappa developed on the banks of the Ravi and Mohenjo-daro, on, the main Indus river. In contrast hundreds of city states developed on the banks of the Saraswati and were the main sites of the Vedic civilisation.

It was 2000 years before any city states developed anywhere else in the world including Egypt, Greece and Rome.

An American historian Will Durrant in "Story of Our Civilisation, Our Oriental Heritage" (Newyork - Simon and Schouster, 1954, states, "India was the mother of our Philosophy , our Mathematics, Religious ideas,and those of self-Government and Democracy. In many ways Mother India is the mother of us all."

In this context I remind you of a few traitors who did not like Vande Mataram in the national anthem but wanted to replace that by the word for the great Allah or the Janaganamana Adhinayaka for their imperial masters! Congress publicity converted these traitors into patriots.

In 1894, only a week before his death Rshi Bankimchandra who gave us the mantra of freedom said, " Do not lose our respect for the past, if you want to mount high in the future. The general tendency of European scholars who greatly influence you (but only to exploit you), is to decry your past and erase it from your memory."

CONCLUSION and Duties of the BJP : The BJP has to keep its promise to the electorate that it will correct distorted history. It has been difficult to correct modern history since it will expose treacherous parties like the Congress or the Communists, who are still in power. But this ancient history is not a problem to these traitors. Hence, the BJP should uphold the glory of ancient Hindu(=Indian) civilisation and proclaim to the electorate that it is indeed a party with a difference. Of course, you should make the electorate aware of the Defencelessness and Poverty of the Motherland under the Congress rule and the fatal consequence of voting for a party under a foreign school-leaver as a President.

Hence, the BJP should make it an election pledge that it will demand a change in records of world history to restore India`s glorious past on record which would give Indian people, self-esteem and confidence to enable them to do greater things in terms achievement , in the 21st century.
