New Furniture [ 1. Report Error Is there an error in this question or solution? W ill Durant in Our Oriental Heritage considers India important for modern mind and heart and it alerts the modern student about the inadequacy of his acquaintance with India and tells This is the India that its patient scholarship is now opening up, like a new intellectual continent, to that western mind which only yesterday thought civilization an exclusively European thing.
The birth of Indian Vedic civilization is too ancient for European mind to know its depth and varicosity of its knowledge. India is not her original name. It has been mutilated, corrupted and selectively ignored. History, written by others, particularly by victors, can not be objective. Writing history of others is unethical. It is a literary sin. But the powerful colonialists consider it as their sacred duty to write whatever about the governed.
Power makes a lie as truth and vice versa. Power mostly is insensitive to the feelings of the governed. The British opined that they wrote Indian history because history was not an Indian cup of tea.
As a matter of fact, Hindus have been very particular about history, as evidenced by the Vedas, describing remote prehistory ancient events and the lessons by ancient Vedic gurus of various philosophical dimensions. Composers of Vedic hyms, being modest, have not publicized their names.
No other history is older than the history given in Vedas and other Hindu sacred scriptures, like Ramayana app BC and Mahabharata app.
The stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata are being played as dramas in temples and in open-air wall-less musical theaters, so that even small children know their proud heritage.
Thus, the history of prominent events, culture and philosophical thoughts are being passed over from generation to generation through millennia-long Vedic oral traditions. This is the reason, why European historians were not able to influence common Indians by their Christian cultural ideology.
They have been able to influence only some section, particularly the urbanite educated class, as per their taste for European party manners, dress, music, etc. Surprising, most of them, when in religious occasions, proudly behave and dress traditionally and enjoy traditional vegetarian food.
The book addresses the history of Aryans, presently known as Hindus, since their birth, yet unknown, because difficult to map the ultra-large geography of their original cottage of their birth which has been diminishing, last by loss of Pakistan and Bangladesh. It has been diminished as the result of foreign assaults, mainly, because of the adverse influence of Ahimsa and domestic rivalries and infightings based on caste, religion and language. Unfortunately, optimum military force, though possible, has rarely been used against foreign aggressors.
Hindus have their history, longer, more ancient than and different from the history, as recorded by modern historians who seem to have been purposefully ignorant, perhaps biased too. The real history of the ancient India has been misrepresented, ignored as myth and buried too deep. A country is defined by its geography, as marked by its present borders, susceptible to territorial greed of foreign aggressors.
History of the originality and antiquity of Aryans present Hindus has been distorted, thus made too complex to correct and reconstruct. Sickness of the history of ancient India is generally caused by the germs — bias, ignorance, and infightings — driven by ethnic rivalry and jealousy. Myself, being Aryan Hindu , have been lost, confused and too bewildered to decide which historian and which historical facts to trust.
It is a difficult task. I have tried to use litmus test to see if the story is in congruence with the historically established basic facts or not. Contradictions are to be objectively examined to establish believable facts. It is good to know both, positives as well negatives, because both would have some truth.
Let the readers to discern truths. Power dictates and redefines borders, which in case of almost all colonized countries, have not remained constant. The borders of India, as affected by Britain and other European colonialists — French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch — have dwindled, fortunately some regained after independence.
Almost all the colonized peoples — Asian as well African — have recovered their lost geography, but unfortunately not India. Some countries, particularly India have been fragmented into pieces. Indians are much better than the Native American Indians who have lost their nationhood forever.
Colonization, infested with slavery, has been the culprit. Colonization is shameless. Colonialists have yet to admit and regret for their guilt. Territorial greed can never be sated. Now with the UN shelter, weak countries sleep peacefully. But still there are some shameless hungry lions, particularly China, defying the UN, have been looking for some more land and water.
Tibet is not sufficient to satisfy their territorial hunger. The names of people, towns, mountains, lakes and rivers have been too disfigured and distorted. But the influence of Vedic culture and Sanskrit is still distinct there, little faded. Possible efforts have been made to piece together the known related circumstantial evidences to weave a meaningfully believable history. T he ancient Vedic culture is one of the most important and influential cultures known to humanity.
Its philosophy, as elaborated in its highly regarded texts, such as the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad-gita and Mahabharata, the Puranas, and others, is what no other country has to offer. This literature explains many aspects of life in order to assist and direct humanity to reach its fullest potential in all areas of life, especially its spiritual developments. As philosophers around the world became aware of what these Vedic texts and its way of life had to offer, many of them studied and adopted it to their own outlook, understanding and teachings.
Jagat Motwani has provided a great review of this information. It is like a reference of references of all kinds, something I would certainly use in my own research. Jagat Motwani has done a great job with his wide research in helping reestablish the significance of this tradition. He takes a look at countries around the planet and uncovers the historic influence the ancient Vedic tradition, especially its philosophy, had on other cultures. He also reviews some of the advancements, both social and scientific, that can be found in the timeless Vedic texts, like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
Therefore, herein the reader will find a wealth of information on how far back in time the Vedic culture can be traced, but also how beneficial it had been and still is, and how respected the Vedic tradition and its vast knowledge was by both historic and modern philosophers and scholars. Any reader will get a renewed admiration for what the Vedic culture of India has provided to humanity around the world. Motwani, Dr. Mahine Gosine and Dr. Jyoti Barot-Motwani. Motwani and Dr.
Chief author of a column on family and youth issues for two Indian Weekly News Papers in America, I salute the scholars of various disciplines — such as history, religion, culture, archeology, anthropology, language, economics, sociology, psychology, psychoanalysis, diplomacy, etc — for their contribution, direct as well as indirect, to make the book appropriately and adequately fruitful.
Names of the scholars, referred to, are given in appendix. I very much appreciate to have Mr. Stephen Knapp, author of over forty books, though over-occupied, found time to write the Foreword. Without cooperation and assistance of my whole family — Jyoti, Neha, Daniel, Shilpa, Emad — it would have been uncomfortable to work long hours, several times at odd hours. Chapter One: Introduction. Chapter Two: Cries of History. Chapter Four: Aryans, who and from where?
Chapter Five: Indo-European Family, too diverse to be one. Chapter Six: Lullaby, the first child enjoyed, was in Sanskrit.

Chapter Fortyfour: Ancient medical and surgical traditions. It is hard to understand why they think that their European heritage is in the East India.
Contradictions in host of their thoughts about India, her originality, antiquity and Vedic civilization have been confusing. This book with the help of several unbiased objective scholars — Indian as well as Westerners — will try to answer most contradictions. I would like to explain why we Indians address India as Mother India , because India, like mother gives milk and all other basic necessities of life.
Therefore, in this book She and her , not It and its are used for India. Nothing should more deeply shame the modern student than the recency and inadequacy of his acquaintance with India.
From the time of Megasthenes, who described India to Greece ca. Marco Polo A. But scholars left the mine almost un-tapped. India, like several others, has been a mystery and a marvel to me too. The more I read, the more ignorant I find self and feel eager to know own birth cottage, more and more since her birth I know is too ancient to know.
Colonial masters knew that it was important to keep colonized people ignorant of their heritage as long as possible to prevent rising of their feeling of freedom which is not possible. Black Dravidians were the original natives who were driven South by the fair skin invading Aryans. All such ill-based faulty history will be reconstructed based on irrefutable historical, linguistic and biological facts and evidences.
It is not known why they are considered myth. Shamelessly it compares to the most disgraceful clan Native American Indians who could not hold on their territory which was swallowed by invading Europeans. Whereas, Arya is the most civilized enviable race, white Europeans are crazy to have Aryan heritage which is Asian, particularly Indian Hindu.
Sincere efforts are made to address almost all the following issues and try to discover the ignored, forgotten and buried facts related to ancient India, whatever possible:. During the first twenty-five years of life, the person needs to observe celibacy in pursuit of knowledge. The person, the society or the nation, based on knowledge, will always be guided by the light of the wisdom of knowledge.
Education in ancient times was universal, meaning none was allowed to remain ill-literate. Hindu is a knowledge-based civilization. The Vedic texts should not be ignored, dismissed as mythologies or as the works of imagination or just containing some moral stories. The word Veda means knowledge. They contain relevant knowledge otherwise these texts would not have survived the millennia years of historical storm.
It is for the people to keep their eyes, ears and minds open to understand the truth in them. It is irony in communal politics that one segment can not rejoice the godly achievement which is not endorsed by the religion of the opposition. The religion, endorsing negatives, rather opposing positives, is not religion in its true sense. Ram Setu, so far known, is the oldest man-made bridge.
It reflects the grandeur of the ancient Vedic Hindu civilization. It is a civil engineering marvel of BCE. This was built into the sea along the shore of the Bay of Bengal by the army of Lord Rama to pave its way to Sri Lanka to free Seeta from the cruel clutches of Rawana.
The Government of India seems to be awakened to accept the reality of Ram Setu and has decided to go ahead with its plans for building a shipping channel by breaking the bridge, believed to have been built by Lord Rama and his team. The research brings out to light that the layers of the bridge construction take us back to the period of Ramayana about BC.
For more about Ram Setu, please refer to the Chapter 26 pp. There is an interesting legend explaining the necessity of Ram Setu. It has been historically ignored or hidden. It happened during Ramayana period, the life of Lord Rama. In Ramayana there is mention about the bridge, which was built between Rameshwaram and Sri Lankan coast under the supervision of a dynamic and invincible figure called Rama who is known as the incarnation of Vishnu.
