The First Tribal Migration

The first tribal migration in the world.

After the ascension of Krishn, kaliyug started and a fierce sea deluge destroyed Dwarika. Much before that the chatriyas of Bharatvarsh (India) had been going out to settle in other countries and to have their own domain. However, there is a big question in the minds of certain intellectuals that how did the migration of the tribes start in the world? When they try to probe into the migration problem, the scanty historical information prior to 3500 BC, and then a dead stop caused by the latest ice age, obscures the situation. However, the scriptures give a reference to this situation and explain that the existing human civilization was re-established by Vaivaswat Manu 120.533 million years ago on the plains of the Ganges. We had the same Puranas, Gita and the Bhagwatam all the time. When the population increased and stretched towards the Indus Valley and the eastern side of India, the prideful youths, desirous of conquering new lands and territories, spread out all over Asia, Middle East and also Europe. This could have happened before the last ice age and would have kept on happening even prior to the Mahabharat war.

 

The Manu Smriti gives a brief account of such a tribal movement when these prideful people went out of India and settled in the other parts of the continent long ago. It says,

 

"Because of the non-association of the Vedic teachings of India, the people of Dravid, Kamboj, Shak (central Asia), China, Yavan and Parad (Gulf countries) etc., became worldly and lost their original Indian culture.”

When they left India they had our locally spoken Sanskrit language with them and the stories of the Puranas and our religious customs were also in their minds. But the prolonged lapse of time and no social and spiritual relations with India made them forget India and they all started their new culture and religion and also a new style of language. In this way a number of cultures started in the world whose remote prime origin was India (Bharatvarsh)."
