Aryan Invasion Theory
A speech by Sri Sri Ravishankar - Founder Art Of Living.
Q:Western scholars talk about Aryan invasion of India. Please comment on this theory.
Guruji’s answer : See the western scholars who wrote Indian history had no knowledge of Sanskrit in which all the records are written. They had no knowledge of pali or Sanskrit. They just wrote with some assumptions, for them everything began 6000 years ago. So they downgraded almost everything every age. This was 150 years ago. Historians had a different concept about the universe. They thought world commenced 6000 years ago. They could not digest anything beyond that or 10000 or 50000 years ago that people had a civilization. So they totally discard what is thousands of years before as fictitious. When Indian scriptures talked about planet, origin and time of present day, the sun is 19 billions years, they laughed. Adding so many zeros had no meaning. So western scholar thought man was born in one place and went throughout the world. Which need not be true because they did not have spherical thinking. Many people could have born simultaneously.
If only Adam and Eve and then the whole creation to go on they have to be in one place so they focused everything to Constantinople. This theory has now become absolute in the world. Native America Indians have been living in America before the pilgrims came here, similarly Mongolians, Chinese lived in their place. Its not that all mankind was born in Constantinople and it moved throughout. See in winter there are no ants or mosquitoes. As Summer comes, all of them come here and you cannot say they migrated from Florida. People might have come but the mosquitoes don’ t. Do you see that. Similarly Aryans did not come from somewhere. The civilization in India has been there for 1000 of years ago. This concept was developed without taking into account available records of history, astrology and the books that are available, that give the exact date Mahabharata happened and how many horses, elephants, soldiers were there, is all recorded. The exact date when Krishna died is also mentioned. When he was born where did he die. Like we have AD, there is Krishna era that is now 5205 year according to that calculation. These are all recorded and with precision. But unfortunately the scholars never concerned or made an effort to address the issue so they said Aryans came and invaded local people. They made lot of distinction and tried to create a north south divide in India. They pumped up the Tamil by saying, you have been invaded by Aryans and they did complete injustice to you, so they raked the issue and the Dravidian movement started in India which was opposed to north. They apposed Hindi, Sanskrit and anything in the north. British had the tendency to divide and rule. So they told the Muslim league you separate from India. So they divided Pakistan. Of course there were some elements that also sided with it. They said you have two cultures so you should have 2 countries, against the wish of Mahatma Gandhi India was divided in to two.
