I am not at all opposed to dating veda but just linguistic approach is not sufficient. What we need is hard archaeological evidence. I recently had some exchanges with an archaeologist, who reports that lots of artifacts from various excavations are openly being stolen / sold. I am sure that we will see them manifest in foreign museums. Apart from this scholars even ignore the known history. May be you already know that there are references of "Women worrier kingdom" in R^igveda Veda. When I had tried to discuss this with a Sanskrit scholar he totally disregarded that this is a "guptaj~naana" and we should not be discussing this at all because we have no right to interpret veda as they are apauruSheya. Here is the clear evidence from Indra defeating the women worrier: striyo hi daasa aayudhaani cakre kim maa karann abalaa asya senaaH | antar hy akhyad ubhe asya dhene athopa praid yudhaye dasyum indraH || R^igveda 5-30-9 || Why do we forget the famous remarks from manusmR^iti ; aj~nebhyo granthinaH shreShThaa\, granthibhyo dhaariNo varaaH | dhaaribhyo j~naaninaH shreShThaa\, j~naanibhyo vyavasaayinaH || manusmR^iti 12-103|| Meaning - Someone who has studied a little is better than totally ignorant. Someone who has memorized them are better than someone who knows a little. One who knows the meaning is superior to those who memorizes. However, one who practices it (knowledge) is certainly the most superior. My 2 Cents. Regards, Dr. Yadu--- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
