As long as one support sunken axioms, such as yavana =

greek, AIT/AMT stand credited.

There is no reference to "Manusmr`ti" in scriptures

but "Manu Samhita" is mentioned. So, calling it as

"Manusmr`ti" itself is a distortion. Now, Manu Samhita

clearly states that it is detailing the prevailing

social judicial scenes, various tribes that had lost

their identities by the time of mahabharata or later,

varnaashrama dharma widely practiced in the society,

similarities in social conditions of Valmiki Ramayana

and Manusamhita, mentioning of practices in Sarasvati

river area such as piligrimages, cultures, ashrama-s,

etc.). Tradition holds that the text is of pre-trEtA

yuga, i.e., at least 7,000 years old.

"yavana" is mentioned in Manusamhita as people

adjoining AryAvarta's western border. Other names:

chIna (north of Himalayas), kirAta (east). Thus,

yavana was name given by Vedic ancestors (~8-10,000

BC) to people in Iran/Afghanistan area, far west of

Saraswati river. After drying up of Saraswati (~1900

BC), links between AryAvarta and yavanadesha

diminished, but story of yavana-s survived

through purANa-s. When Greeks came (~300 BC), our

people called them to as yavana-s, since they were

from that general western frontier. But there were no

Greeks during the time of original yavana-s(cf:

Glaciers/Paleoclimatology).

Word mlenchcha also appears in Manusmr`ti. vrAtya is

another word. Both denote to people outside the varNa

Ashrama but within and around AryAvarta only.

mlenchcha-s lived far west of Saraswati river. They

had no refined culture in the eyes of AryAvarta

people. yavana-s were one such mlenchcha people.

vrAtya-s were those who were born in varNa Ashrama

families but deviated from the specific Ashrama

Dharma-s, and thus began to live like mlenchcha-s

INSIDE AryAvarta.

All such distinctions have vanished by the time of

mahABhArata war - varNa sankara was quite total by

then, as it is now. Now everybody is either a

mlenchcha or a vrAtya (NOT EVEN A shUdra) by conduct -

all over the globe.

yavana-s = greeks, as long as software programmers are

mathematicians, logicians(99% of today computer

prtogrammers, IT professionals will get negative

grades in their Aristotlian "Computability,

Complexity and Undecidability" CS/MA101, "Boolean

circuit complexity") This is where we stand.

Best Regards,
