Unless and until Indians study/understand the Indus Valley Civilization we are forever going to be doomed to the interpretations of the West and their theories. I congratulated Mike Patel for his brilliant naming of TIE (the Indus Entrepreneurs) because in essence we Indians are descendents from Indus Valley. Understanding Indus valley is key to unlocking the Indian existence. Deep within the civilization are gems of city existence, governing principles of democracy, language, culture, economics, yoga, and a whole host of civilization experiences from which modern day manâs existence can be traced.
Also, tell American and Brit "researchers" to keep off our history. They are just white-supremacy propagandists. Remember the howls of outrage that greeted Shekhar Kapoor's Elizabeth to the effect that "he is distorting British history." This is when the Whites got a taste of their own medicine.
Ideally, propagation or mention of aryan invasion theory should be banned in India. It is nothing but racism -- Indians are made up of two races, one in north, other in south.
AIT has been decisively debunked everywhere except in Marxist/Whites circles. I read somewhere that it has been removed from the syllabus of most American universities citing lack of evidence.
Other thing is that unfortunately, there is no Indian Institute of Hinduism Studies, that can bring out rival publicaitons and debunk these weird ideas of Whites. Currently, because of Nehruvian secualrism, there is no research or scholarship of ancient history of India in our own country.
This leaves the field wide open and the White historians and religious professors step in to fill the vaccuum. No wonder, it is becoming fashionable among Indian scholars to go to an American univ. to take a degree in Sanskrit or Hindu religious studies!
We have to reclaim our history and culture studies from the Whites.
