About the Book:

 

It is a tribute to the persistence and tenacity of the colonial overlords,

hailing from a nondescript island of the northwest coast of the vast Eurasian

landmass, that the prevailing paradigm on the origins and chronology of the

Indic civilization is largely constructed by them. This is all the more

astonishing, when we ponder on the fact that their domination of the

subcontinent, which had a tradition going back several millennia lasted less

than two centuries. Such a paradigm which we shall define as the Colonial

paradigm, while substantially erroneous, is posited on certain assumptions.

 

The key assumption is that the Indic civilization that remains extant has been

brought into the area by migrating races such as the Aryans, and in fact some

would argue, that such a statement holds also for the so called Dravidians of

India. The second assumption implicit in all the assertions made by Occidentals

about India is that no date for any significant scientific advance should be

attributed to the Indics prior to the Golden age of Greece beginning in 600 BCE.
