The Legacy of Aryan Invasions

In the past many unpsychological ideas were imposed on the toiling masses and women. If we examine Indian history, we can see that exploited people took the shelter of Jainism and Buddhism, and later of Islam. This occurred because they did not want to live in an oppressive atmosphere, because they felt suffocated in such an environment.

Today some people advocate Vedic revolution, but how can there be a revolution based on the Vedas when the Vedas themselves are full of dogma? In the past it was the practice in India that if a woman heard the recitation of the Vedas even by accident, molten lead was poured into her ears. This was done because if women were not suppressed they could not be easily exploited and ordered about to do menial work, like maid servants. Today women have started a collective movement to oppose their oppression and exploitation.
In the Vedic age, people were oppressed and felt suffocated by the imposition of dogma. They got their first experience of freedom during the life of Buddha, because he was the first to start a crusade against Vedic dogma. This was the reason why Buddhism was accepted by the masses immediately and spread rapidly.

In the Vedic era, the Aryans used to steal food grains and animals from the non-Aryans to perform their sacrifices and rituals (yajinas). In retaliation, groups of non-Aryans used to attack the Aryans to recover their possessions while they were performing their rituals. These attacks were grossly distorted in the Vedas, which gives the impression that the Aryans were good while the non-Aryans were evil. In fact, the non-Aryans were forced to attack the Aryans to recover their food to ensure their survival. Did the non-Aryans do anything bad? No, they did the right thing.

The Vedas contain various slokas which advise people not to show malice to others, and not be cruel or unjust. For example, ma'himsi means not to show malice to others, while samgacchadvam means let all people move together. These slokas are proof that malice and inequality existed amongst different groups of people in those days, otherwise what was the need of propagating such ideas?

Those who advocate Vedic revolution today want to return the to the ancient past. There is no concept of revolution in the Vedas. Rather, the teachings of the Vedas imply counterrevolution because they support injustice and racism. The teachings of Buddha and Jain contained the first revolutionary ideas because they opposed Vedic inequality, although the teachings of Buddha are more rational than those of Mahaviira Jain.”

Early Vedic Aryan Invasions

Aryan Invasions & Genocide of Negroes, Semites & Mongols

by Prof. Uthaya Naidu

The Aryan invasions which led to the collapse of the Semito-Negroid Indus Valley civilization plunged India into 2500 years of darkness lasting from 1500 BC to 1000 AD. It may sound cruel but the Vedic religion does prescribe that the Aryan race is superior to other races and is hence justified in massacering, looting and ruling over all others. These Brahmanic Dark Ages were the darkest ever experienced in the history of mankind. The initial 1000 years, comprising the Vedic Dark Ages (1500 BC - 500 BC) of this episode were the darkest of all. The Early Vedic Dark Ages were marked by two major devastating Aryan invasions :

RigVedic Aryan Invasion (1500 BC)
The initial Aryan onslaught began with the First Aryan invasion under Indra . The barbaric Vedic Aryan hordes swept down into the Indus Valley civilization, attacking the peace-loving and tolerant Semito-Negroid civilization.

Unaccustomed to such violence and blood-shed, and unable to withstand the sheer numbers of ferocious invaders, the civilization collapsed into massacres, mayhem and disorder. Following this calamity, India was plunged into 1000 years of darkness, a period referred to as the Vedic Dark Ages . Virtually the entire native populations of Negroids, Semites and Mongoloids were exterminated. The Indus irrigation system was shattered to permanently destroy agriculture in the region in the first recorded instance of ecological warfare.

Second Aryan Invasion (1400 BC)
Bharata launched the second Aryan invasion from Afghanistan, and conquered much of the upper Ganges valley. The mayhem and murder continued throughout this period, by the end of which no trace of the Indus Valley civilization was left and Sudroid Blacks had been displaced from all of Northwest India, the survivors retreating to the Ganges valley and Rajasthan.
The massacres perpetuated by the Aryans in India during the 1000 years of the Vedic Dark Ages are unparalleled in history, exceeding the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis (which was inspired by the Vedic Aryans), and the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spaniards and Portuguese. Almost all of the 5 million inhabitants of the Indus Valley perished, besides unnumbered others.

The Indus Valley Civilization, consisting of Semites ( approx. 40 % ), Negroids ( approx. 50 % ) and Mongoloids ( ca. 10 % ) marked a period of wealth and prosperity in Indian history. Noted developments include the development of yoga, the erection of ziggurats and the discovery of zero. All these inventions were later appropriated by the Aryan priests in what must have been the greatest case of scientific theft on record. As usual, considerable negationism exists surrounding this episode. The golden Harappan age came to an abrupt and violent end when hordes of barbaric Aryans swept into India in ca. 1500 BC through the Khyber Pass [ Kos ] [ Chan.S ] [ Chan.H ] [ Chan.V ]. Most of these, barring those known as `vratyas', were under the loose control of Indra of the Lunar Aryan race, who was later elevated into ancestor-godhood. The incredible damage done to Indian civilisation, culture, human population and environment during the Aryan invasions which spanned 1000 years are almost beyond estimation and beggar belief. Following this cataclysmic invasion, civilization in India collapsed into 1000 years of complete darkness. During this Vedic Dark Age (1500 BC - 500 BC) no civilization survives, no writing, nor any trace of the existence of even a semi-civilization. There is, even now in the late 20th century, complete ignorance concerning this era of Indian history. It was an unending series of slaughters and massacres of native Indians by barbaric invaders who considered it meritorious to butcher those of a different race.

Destruction of Harappan Cities
Indra was the first of the nomadic Aryan leaders to descend into India, indulging in cold-blooded murder of non-Aryans and wholesale genocide that matched those of the Nazi Germans centuries later. He was the epitome of the Aryan invader, and sybolised all that they stood for. Cruel and blood-thirsty, he was completely ruthless in warfare. This leader was later deified for his services to his `varna' (`skin color' or race). He killed his father in cold blood just because he had taken some of Indra's intoxicant, and was known to be a habitual drunkard. Tyrannical and barbaric, he ruthlessly slaughtered the Dasyus (`slaves', a contemptuous term applied to the native Sudroids). Entire cities were burnt down and their populations massacred. Regarding the origin of the term `Arya', Gunderic writes " `Arya' is a purely racial term, a probable derivation is 'ar', meaning strength or valour, from ar to fight, whence we have the name of the Greek war-god Ares." [ Gun ] This should lay to rest negationist claims put forth by Brahiminist scholars that `Arya' is not a racial term. The negationism and the fantasies set forth by some Brahmins that the Indus Valley was `Aryan' shall be dealt with later on. Indeed, so detailed is the evidence still surviving that the individual stages in the conquest can be traced.
Sack of the Minor Towns

Initially, Indra sacked and pillaged the minor towns and villages of the Indus countryside. He is thus praised by the Vedic sages as Puroha or Purandhara, `sacker of cities' [ S+T.366 ] and is later elevated into godhood, ultimately becoming an incarnation of Vishnu. He destroyed 100 minor Indus towns:
" Indra overthrew 100 Puras made of stone ( asmanmayi ) for his worshipper Divodasa [ RgV.IV.30.20 ], evidently belonging to Sambara who is a Dasa ( non-Aryan black ) of the mountain " [ RgV.VI.26.5 ]
-- [ Chan.V ] [ Chan.S ] [ Chan.H ] [ S+T.364 ]

Destruction of the Indus Dam System & Flooding
The larger metropolises of the Indus managed to withstand the Aryan onslaught due to the protection of massive walls. To force their capitulation, the Aryans smashed the sophisticated Indus dam and irrigation system, no trace of which now remains. This led to widepread monsoonal flooding, causing slit deposits which are still to be found in the ruins of the Indus cities, and destruction of the fertile topsoil. This meant the end of settled agriculture in the Indus basin. Thus the Vedas proudly praise Indra as the destroyer of this irrigation system, no trace of which now remains (vrtra=dam in Sanskrit) :
+ He smote Vrtra who encompassed the waters [ RgV.VI.20.2 ]
+ He smote Vrtra who enclosed the waters, like a tree with the bolt [ RgV.II.14.2 ]
+ He is referred to as `conquering the waters' ( apsujit ), which is his prime attribute.
+ Indra let loose the streams after slaying Vrtra [ RgV.IV.19.8 ]
+ He cleaves the mountian, making the streams flow [ RgV.I.57.6; X.89.7 ], even with the sound of his bolt [ RgV VI.27.1]
-- [ RgV I.57.6; II.14.2; IV.19.8; VI.20.2; VI.27.1; X.89.7 ] [ S+T.368 ]
In Sanskrit, `vrtra' is an `obstacle', and denotes a barrage or blockage [ Kos.70-71]. It is thus a word for `dam'. Dams now called Gebr-band are found on many water-courses of the western parts of the Indus region. Aryans shattered the dam system of the Indus, leading to silt deposits in Mohenjo-daro [ S+T.369]. This is vividly described in the Rig Veda:
+ When he [Indra] laid open the great mountain, he let loose the torrents and slew the Danava, he set free the pent up springs, the udder of the mountain. [ RgV V.32.1-2 ]
+ He slew the Danava, shattered the great mountian, broke open the well, set free the pent up waters. [ RgV I.57.6; V.33.1 ]
+ He releases the streams which are like impisoned cows [ RgV I.61.10 ]
+ He won the cows and soma and made the 7 rivers flow. [ RgV I.32.12; II.12.12 ]
+ He releases the imprisoned waters [ RgV I.57.6; I.103.2 ]
+ He dug out channels for the streams with his bolt [ RgV II.15.3 ], let the flood of waterrs flow into the sea. [ RgV II.19.3 ]
+ He caused the waters pent up by Vrtra to flow [ RgV III.26.6; IV.17.1 ]
-- [ Mac ] [ S+T.368-9 quotg Macdonell ]
Another verse explicitly mentions him as a destroyer of dams:
rinag rodhamsi krtrimani
= " he removed artificial barriers"
-- [ RgV 2.15.8 ]
Now, rodhas = "dam" elsewhere in the Rig Veda and in later Sanskrit [ S+T.369 ]. The above evidence, taken directly from the Rig Veda and not from any secondary source, is sufficient to implacate the Aryans as the destroyers of the dam systems of the ancient Indus.

Fall of Harappa
The larger Indus cities, their agricultural supply base gone, and crowded with refugees fleeing the Aryan onslaught, finally fell to the barbarian invader. Indra besieged Harappa, defeated the Indian army at their last stand, and then sacked Harappa itself, the queen of cities with massive ziggurats and large-scale industries. Such was the carnage that, despite monsoonal downpourings, the fractured skulls and thick ash layers survive in the upper layers of the Indus cities. The inhabitants were then butchered, as recounted in the famous Rig Vedic Harappa hymn :
" In aid of Abhyavartin Cayamana, Indra destroyed the seed of Virasakha."
"At Hariyupiyah he smote the vanguard of the Vrcivans, and the rear fled frighted."
-- [ Rg.V. XXVII.5 ]
This Hariyupiyah is the Harappa excavated in the 1920s.
This was, however, not just the conquest of a people but actual genocide. In fact, it is the first genocide recorded in history. It was racial in nature, with the white-skinned Aryans exterminating & enslaving the native Semites, Blacks and Mongoloids.

Genocide of Negroids, Semites and Mongoloids
All non-Aryan races were subject to genocide. The indigenous races are referred to in Aryan scriptures as
· Blacks - `Dasyus'
· Semites - `Panis' ( Sans. "Phoenicians")
· Mongoloids - Kiratas, Nagas ( Sans. "Kerait Mongols")
We consider the genocide in detail. The major races targetted in this, the first Aryan invasion, were Negroids and Semites. Mongols were targetted in subsequent invasions. In all the following, we refer to primary sources and not secondary renderings. Thus the `sacred' Rig Veda has been quoted all throughout.

Genocide of Negroids
Aboriginal Negroid blacks in India are referred to as `Dasyu'. They are related to African populations, as is evident from [ Sud ]:
· Dasyus are described as having black skin, thick noses, and large mouths (ie. prognathism).
· Daju - The Daju are a Central African Chadic tribe, and the Dasyu probably represent a prehistoric migration of this tribe to India.
· Shiva-worship - The worship of the phallus is common among the abroiginals to this day, and is referred to as common among the Dasyus. The Aryans did not worship Shiva or the phallus, and looked down upon those who did.

An excellent review of all the evidence that the Sudroids (including Dravidians & Kolarians) are Negroids is at [ Sud ] . They were subject to the harshest of treatments and were the prime vicitms of the Aryan genocide. Whereas Sudroid Blacks (Dravidians, modern Dalits, Adivasis, Kolarians) once inhabited the whole of India, they were massacred in all of northern India, surviving only in isolated regions where the Aryans oculd not penetrate (eg. the Brahui of Baluchistan, the Bhils of Rajastan etc.). What follows is the eidence from the horse's mouth, for it was considered a source of merit to have killed the black aboriginals, and the military leaders involved are proudly praised for these deeds :
· " Thou, Indra, art the destroyer of all the cities, the slayer of the Dasyus, the prosperer of man, the lord of the sky."
< " Tvam hi shasvatinam Indra daita puram asi
hanta dasyor manor vridhah patir divah " - Sans. >
-- [ RgV.VIII.87.6 ] [ Muir I.175 ]
· " Indra, the slayer of Vrittra, the destroyer of cities, has scattered the Dasyu (hosts) sprang from a black womb. "
-- [ RgV. II.20.6 ] [ Muir I.174 ]
· The ancient singer praises the god who "destroyed the Dasyans and protected the Aryan colour." [ Rg.V. III.34.9 ] [ Ann. 114 ] and "the thunderer who bestowed on his white friends the fields, bestowed the sun, bestowed the waters." [ Rg.V. I.100.18 ] [ Ann. 114 ] Numerous are the references to "the black skin" `Krishnam Vacham' [ RgV. IX.41.1, Sam.V. I.491, II.242 ] [ Ann. 114 ] which is mentioned with abhorrence.
· Again " stormy gods who rush on like furious bulls and scatter the black skin." [ RgV.IX.73.5 ]
· The singers mention "the black skin, the hated of Indra", being swept ourtof heaven [ RgV.IX.73.5 ]
· "Indra protected in battle the Aryan worshipper, he subdued the lawless for Manu, he conqured the black skin." [ Rg.V. I.130.8 ] [ Ann.114 ]
· The sacrificer poured out thanks to his god for "scattering the slave bands of black descent", and for stamping out " the vile Dasyan colour." [ Rg.V. II.20.7, II.12.4 ] [ Ann. 115 ]
· "Black skin is impious" <"Dasam varnam adharam" -Sans.> [ Rg.V. II.12.4 ] [ Muir Pt.I, p.43, II, p.284, 323 etc. ] [ Ann. 114 ff ].
· "[Indra] made the impious varNa of the dAsas lower and hidden." <"[i'ndro] dA'saM va'rNaM a'dharaM gu'hA'kaH" - Sans> [ RV. II.12.4 ]
The Negroid aboriginals were not just slain in battle, but women, chlidren and the elderly were subject to massacres even when they were unarmed. In other words, this was a genocide or ethnic cleansing on a large scale. No mercy was shown by Indra and his Aryan hordes to captured blacks. Especially common was the surrounding of a town by Aryan forces so that no escape was possible, followed by the firing of the city. Those blacks not burnt alive & who managed to escape into the surrounding fields were slaughtered by the Aryans :
" Thou, a hero, a benefactor, hast impelled the character of man; vicotiruos, thou hast burnt up the rite-less Dasyu, as a vessel is consumed by a blaze"
-- [ RgV. I.175.3 ] [ Muir I.174 ]

The result of this genocide was that Sudroids disappeared from the plains of northern India, surviving only in modern Bundelkhand, Gondwana, Bhilwana & Chota Nagpur. They also survived in southern India where the Dravidian branch of the Sudroids still represent a majority of the population. In fact, the plains of northern India were entirely devoid of blacks for several centuries till the advent of the more tolerant Muslims, who imported large numbers of blacks from Gondwana & Dravidia as labourers in plantations. The system of Islamic plantation labour and slavery was in fact much more liberal than the genocide of the Aryans.

Genocide of Semites
Although Negroids (Dravidians and Kolarians) represent the original inhabitants of India, large number of Semites (referred to as `Panis' or Phoenicians in Aryan records) immigrated into the Indus Valley. They introduced features of Mesopotamian civilization, eg. seals, ziggurats etc. and eventually came to form nearly half of the population of the Indus Valley.

These Semites were also subject to genocide by the Aryans. No regard was shown to the life of these non-Aryans. During the height of the slaughter, an Aryan poet encourages his brethren to continue the genocide of Semites:
" Ye mighty ones [ Aryan Asvins ] what do you do there;
why do you stay there among the people who are held in high esteem through not offering sacrifices;
ignore them, destroy the life of the Panis "
-- [ RgV I.83.3 ] [ S+T.365 ]
During the large-scale burning of Indus cities by Aryans depicted above in `Genocide of Negroids' most of the Semites perished as well.

A summary that the Panis represent a branch of Semitic Phoenicians that migrated to India in prehistoric times is given below :
· Trade: The Panis are referred to as traders, the traditional profession of Phoenicians and Semites.
· Currency: In fact, a currency, the pana, is current in India much later during Maurya times. It is named after this merchant race.
· Pani and Phoenician are cognate terms.
Hence the hatred Hitler felt for the Semitic Jews in Nazi Germany is mirrored in the Vedas. We wonder if this was the source for Hitler's feelings towards Semites. Considering the importance given by Nazis to the Indo-Aryan texts, the adoption of the swastika, the re-use of the term and racial concept of `Aryan', this is quite likely.

Genocide of Mongoloids
The Mongoloids entered India from the north-east, eventually forming a significant minority (probably 5- 10 %) of the Indus Valley (cf. the Mongoloid skulls of Mohenjo-daro) and the bulk of the population in Eastern India and the Ganges delta. Aryan records refer to them as `Nagas' (Snake-worshippers) and `Kiratas' (Mongoloid Keraits). They were thus not the immediate victims of the First Aryan Holocaust, but were suffered much during subsequent Aryan invasions into Eastern India.

Casualty Estimate - 5 million
The areal extent of the Indus Valley civilization exceeded that of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian put together. The population of Egypt in the 2nd millenium BC is put at 2-3 million [ EB 18 `egypt' 104 ]. The Mesopotamian was of similar magnitude, and hence the total population of the Indus Valley was likely to have been 5-6 million. This is the lower limit to the casualty estimate for the First Sudra Holocaust only, for the overwhelming bulk of this population was slaughtered in battle or during the mass burning of the Indus cities.
The population of Mohenjo-daro was estimated by Lambrick at 35000 and that of Harappa as being similar, while Fairservis gave estimates of 41250 for Mohenjo-daro and 23500 for Harappa [ EB 21 `ind' 27 ]. Thus, the death toll from the destruction of these two cities alone can be estimated at 40000 Semite Panis & 40000 Sudroids Negroes.

The total casualty estimate for the entire period of Early Aryan Invasions is perhaps around 20 million, more than 3 times larger than the genocide of Jews by Nazis.
Exalted Indra -
In addition to deification for his extermination of native Indian races, Indra is praised for several other deeds :
· Patricide : Indra is praised for having murdered his father when he stole some of Indra's soma:
" Who has made thy mother a widow? Who has sought to slay the sleeping and the waking? What deity has been more gracious than thou, since thou hast slain thy father having seized him by the foot? "
-- [ RgV.IV.18.12 ] [ S+T.371 ]
He performed this deed as his father had stolen some intoxicant from Indra's stock [ Tait.Sam. VI.1.3.6 ][ S+T.371 ].
· Drunkard : Indra was a habitual drunkard and murdered in that inebriated state. "To the ancient poets of the Rigveda, the personal bearing and strength of Indra were highly honourable, though these were often exhibited under the influence of alcohol or the intoxicating drink they call soma" [ S+T.371 ].
· Adultery : Indra was famous as an adulterer, having seduced many married women (cf. Ahalya etc.)

Following this, the First Aryan Invasion, civilization disappeared from India for one thousand years (1500 BC - 500 BC). No city was built during this era of darkness, writing was forgotten, no literature survives. Just pure darkness.

Yet Indra was subsequently deified and is today considered an incarnation of Vishnu, the supreme god of Indo-Aryans! He has set a good example for the Nazis of Germany and the Hindu fundamentalists who destroyed the Babri Masjid on Dec. 6, 1992 and demolished numerous churches in 1998, finally setting off several nuclear devices in 1998.

Second Aryan Invasion
Bharata's Invasion from Afghanistan
Bharata was a descendant of Kashyapa, who is named after the Caspian sea, where the lunar race of Aryans is thought to have originated. Bharata's legendary capital lay in the Kabul valley, ie. the Yusufzai territory of modern Afghanistan:
" According to local tradition, the original seat of the empire of Bharata was much further to the morth-west, namely, at the site now occupied by the ruins of Takh-i-Bahi, in the country of the Yusufzais to the northward of Peshawur."
-- [ Mah.wh.48n.2 ]
From this base he descended onto the plains of India. There he defeated Indra [ Mah.wh.45 ], a descendant of the ancestor-god Indra, earning himself the title "most renowned of the Lunar race" [ Mah.wh.47 ]. He then conquered the Upper Ganges valley, exceeding Indra's dominion.
After the wars of annexation, the Raj of Bharata extended over the enitre doab between the rivers Ganges and the Jumna right up to the junction of these 2 rivers [ Mah.wh.44 ]. These invasions were by lunar Aryans, the solar race of Aryans invading later.

Much Brahminist propaganda has saturated history books with the hypothesis that `Bharatavarsha' denoted the whole of the Indian subcontinent. This is simply not true. `Bharatavarsha' denoted only the empire of Bharata, which was confined to a small part of the Indo-Gangetic valley. This is proven by the Hati-gumpha inscription of Kharavela near Bhubaneswar, which states that Kharavela, King of Kalinga, invaded Bharata.
Descent Down the Ganges Valley
Bharata's son Hastin founded Hastinapur further down the Ganges valley, after this second wave of Aryans had pushed on from the neighbourhood of Peshawar up to the banks of the Ganges [ Mah.wh.48n2 ].
War of the Ten Kings (Dasarajanya Yuddh)
Later in the history of the Bharata dynasty is the War of the Ten Kings described in the Dasarajanya hymn of the Rig Veda which is generally accepted as a historical event [ EB 21 `ind' 32 ] [ Bash.34 ]. This war pitted the pure Aryans of the Bharata dynasty (located on the upper Sarasvati) under king Sudas and their Caucasoid allies against the mixed and non-Aryan races. The ten non-Aryan tribes under Vishvamitra (himself of mixed race, being a Kshatriya who claimed, but never received, Brahman status) including the Puru, Yadu, Turvasas, Anu & Druhyu were defeated by the pure Aryans on the Ravi river. The king of the Purus, Purukutsa, was killed [ Bash.34 ].

These Sanskritic Vedic `sages' rejoiced at the massacre of millions of humans just because they were of a different race ! They happily glorify the destruction of cities in Sanskrit verses that are considered sacred today ! Does it never strike these people as being against humanity ? Or are their vision so clouded by bigotry that they do not realize their folly?
