Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Namaste >>This book digs deep into the past of the world. It is a collection of the >>findings of various scholars who tried to search the ancient world without >>any prejudice and preconceived notions or racial or colonial biases. >>Presently, due to the false propaganda by the pseudo historians, the >>genuine and impartial authors have been neglected and so have gone into >>oblivion. Such great authors are neither highlighted not referred to by >>the coming generations of authors. This book is intended to bring into >>limelight the contribution of true researchers and discovers of the past >>of the world. It is a matter of great concern and disappointment that >>today in the name of writing history of the past in a scientific manner, >>the traces of the past are being obliterated in a very systematic and >>scientific manner. Satanic forces have always tried to darken the history >>of civilisation. Who can forget those dark events of the human history and >>civilisation when Alexandrian library, libraries at Nalanda and >>Vikramshila universities and the library at Ujjain was set to fire. >>It is all the more disgusting to know that today also when the humanity >>has risen from the slumber of ignorance, the same type of forces are at >>work in the different tribal areas of the world. The tribal population in >>Asia, Africa, Australia and South America is constantly being raided and >>raped with ulterior motives. If they are gaining bread at one hand, but >>losing their historical roots on the other hand. They are paying a high >>cost of their true history for the satiation of their hunger. No doubt the >>need of history comes after satiation of hunger, but by the time hunger >>will be satiated, the roots will be ruined. This is a kind of trajectory >>in which world’s past has been constructed. Historical reality is already >>very difficult to map. But the mapping becomes more difficult when the >>motivations and moulds are racist, colonial and communal. Under the >>circumstances the intellectual myopia rules the roost and the squinted eye >>revels in the glory, might and prosperity of one’s own self to the utter >>neglect of the ‘other’. The ‘other’ then appears barbarian, vulgar, >>dwarfed and depraved, and the squinted eye is, at best, able to wink >>mainly on the muck and morass associated with the ‘other’. >>The present book is an humble attempt to fight the above situation. Indian >>Foundation for Vedic Science in association with like-minded organisations >>like International Vedic Vision in New York and International Foundation >>for Vedic Science in Canada has taken a lead in the direction of >>reconstruction of the obliterated past of the world. The canvas of the >>world history needs to be enlarged with a vast corpus of historical >>literature that has been churned out from time to time by a wide variety >>of scholars, historians, researchers and research institutes, and not with >>the help of excavated debris, fossils and skeletons. History is neither a >>story book to be fabricated on the heap of garbage nor a work of jigsaw >>fit done from the collection of some relics retained at Kabari’s shop. >>History deals with the past of living human-beings and should preferably >>be written on the basis of records either written in the literary form or >>carried forward from generations to generations in the oral tradition of >>ballads, folk lores and folk songs. The countries who do not have any >>historical literature or oral historical tradition, can construct their >>past with help of their reminisces retained in the historical records of >>other countries. >>It tries to trace the history of origin and development of civilisations >>in the world. This is not the first attempt. Many scholars from time to >>time have been unravelling mysteries of the past traversing the same path. >>The present author make an humble attempt to pool the whole data that is >>likely to sink into oblivion and fizzle out from the gaze of all and >>present the same before readers afresh in the ensuing pages. The findings >>presented in this book are sure to reverse the trend of modern history and >>compel the genuine readers, researchers and scholars to rediscover and >>reconstruct the past of the world. The collection of views in the present >>book lays the foundation of Indo-centric worldview and sets aside the >>Euro-centric view of looking at the past of the world. When the readers >>will gaze the past of world through eyes of Vedas and Vedic scholars like >>Swami Dayananda Sarasvati and other scholars like Louis Jacolliot, >>Pococke, William Jones, Tod, Count Bjornstjerna, Elphinston, Eurebius, >>Heeren, Coleman, Pt. Bhagvadatta, Yudhisthira Mimansaka, Pt. Guruddata, >>Gurudatta Vidyarthi, Harbilas Sarda and P.N. Oak, they are certainly not >>going to have any choice but to join the above mentioned scholars in >>holding India the centre of learning and civilisation and paying tribute >>to her (India’s) contribution for development modern civilisation and >>humanity in the gracious utterances of the seeker of truth (Louis >>Jacolliot) : >>Soil of Ancient India, cradle of humanity, hail! Hail, venerable and >>efficient nurse whom centuries of brutal invasions have not yet buried >>under the dust of oblivion, hail, fatherland of faith, of love, of poetry >>and of science. May we hail a revival of thy past in our Western future! This 157 page hard-bound book is authored by Dr Ravi Prakash Arya who has over 40 publications and research papers in his name.
