The Concept of an Indian Identity and Mindset continues...
Such a factual account of our past is essential to the Agenda, because we have to disgorge and discard the foreign versions of our history with credibility. It is this foreign version that makes us foreigners in our own land. The Aryan-Dravidian divide in the history taught in schools and universities is purely a conception of foreign historians like Max Mueller; and it has no basis in Indian historical records. This fraudulent history has been lapped up by many upper caste Indians, as their racial passport to Europe. Such has been the demoralization of the Hindu mind, which we have to shake off through a new factual account of our past.
The theory of the Aryan invasion, which is still taken by some as the foundation stone of the history of India, was actually devised in the 18th and 19th centuries by British linguists and archaeologists. According to this theory the first inhabitants of India were good-natured, peaceful, dark-skinned shepherds, called the Dravidians, who had founded what is called the Harappan, Indus Valley civilization. They were supposedly remarkable buildersโwitness the city of Mohenjo-Daro in Pakistani Sind, but had no culture to speak of, no literature, no proper script even. Around 1500 B.C., India is said to have been invaded by tribes called the Aryans: white-skinned, nomadic people, who originated somewhere in Western Russia and imposed upon the Dravidians the hateful caste system. To the Aryans are attributed Sanskrit and the Vedas, the Vedic or Hindu religious spiritual texts, as well as a host of subsequent writings, the Upanishads, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, etc.
By this โAryanโ theory, the British showed on the one hand that Indian civilization was not that ancient and that it was posterior to the cultures which influenced the Western world โ Mesopotamia, Sumeria, or Babylon โ and that whatever good things India had developed-Sanskrit literature, or even its architecture โ had been borrowed from, or influenced by the West.
