Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Dear Sreenadhji, Nobody claims that outsiders did not come to india India in the past as India was not a fully barricaded country. But what is important is: when did the outsiders come to india? Along with these the earliest date of training of horse in the Teppes are also to be considered. You will find that when these fundamental chronological questions are raised the western scholars shy away or at most give a very vague answer. Only after establishing these chronologies that the scholars should have questioned / challenged the dates of the movement of people from India to outside. The key to the whole question rests on the dates ie when did these movements in either direction occurr, as this alone will help one to ascertain which movement occurred earlier. If you have seen any such the specific dates, furnished by western or other scholars, on these movements from outside to India that will give us a better idea. As regards the antiquity of the Indian civilisation there are ample astronomical and other data. Regards, Sunil K.

But considering the ancient Asian interactions it seems that many went from India to outside and many from outside (especially from Russian, Iranian region) came to India as well. Please note that Scythian (Saka; Central Russia), Bactian (Balhika), Tajikistan (Kamboja), Iranian and Afghanistan (Asuras and Pahlava) are all mostly centered around Russia and Iran. I am not in favor of too much Babylonion, Asserian or Semittic (Abraham tribe) interactions with India. Mascidonian Greek interactions lies somewhere in between it seems - not too much, not too less. There is a possibility of ancient Ionian or minnovan interactions than the mascidonian greeks. ==> > Ancient texts are full of references showing that people went out of India. <== References of the otherway round is also not less. We cannot discard the possibility of modifications and interpretations specially in favor of India as well.

I am of the school that believes that though we all came from Africa 40,000 years ago, all those who went to Europe, before the Ice-age, perished. After the Ice-age was over in the 11th millennium BCE, India had the best habitable climatic conditions in the world, thanks to the strategic location of the Himalayas in the North , the seas to the south and its nearness to the equator, all combined.. Patanjali said " Sthiram Sukham Asanam " as one of the prerequisites for developing concentration. It also follows from the same that intellectual development also requires a comfortable habitat and India offered that to its intellectuals . It is because of this that the People survived and multiplied in India and the Arya civilisation flourished in India before any other civilisation developed in the ancient times, going back upto around the 10th millennium BCE. Ancient texts > are full of references showing that people went out of India. Yayati, an ancient king who had capital near Prayag (Allahabad), had several children who left his kingdom and went away to far off places. Parashurama had sent away the warrior groups like the Sakas from India, in the ancient times. These Sakas did come back and some historians think that the Sakas are originaslly from outside of India. > > Regards, > > Sunil K. bhattacharjya > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
