RAKHIGARHI EXCAVATIONS: THE MYTHBUSTER OF ARYAN INVASION THEORY

 “INDIA IS, THE CRADLE OF THE HUMAN RACE…”

Cloaked Inside the History of a Nation, lies its identity & origin. History is important not only for self-criticism of a nation, but to record every detail of a nation’s achievements, potential, strengths & weaknesses, culture and all endeavors & elements of human life. A rich history is what separates a civilization from a nation.

 

Bharat too has a rich history, thus earning the title of a civilization & not just a country. With great contributions in mathematics, sciences, spirituality, art, architecture, culture & many other fields, Bharat has versatile achievements in her extensive history.

 

But Bharat’s history was corrupted too. With the infiltration of British historians & left-wing intellectuals in every level of our media & education system, we the people of Bharat were fed with lies & propaganda about our great Maa Bharati & her glorious past.

Aryan invasion theory is one such lie. Conjured by Mortimer Wheeler, the British Archaeologist, The Aryan invasion theory states that Aryans migrated to India from Central Asia & places like Harappa & Mohenjo-Daro were colonized by them. It also suggests that Indians are not indigenous people but are the descendants of Foreign Aryans .Theories like this helped Britishers justify their colonization of India, thus stealing from us, our originality & cultural independence. Moreover, leftist historians like Romila Thapar & many others never bothered to do their own research & quietly accepted these lies & peddled us the same lies in our history textbooks as well.

In 2019, A team led by Professor David Reich from Harvard University & Dr. Vasant Shinde of Pune’s Deccan College, analyzed the DNA of a woman’s skeleton found in Rakhigarhi, Haryana. The results stated that her DNA did not match that of the Iranians or Mesopotamians. The DNA was unique thus proving the fact that the ancient Indians were not outsiders but were indigenous to the Bharat and did not have any genetic resemblance to foreigners like Iranians, Mesopotamians & Central Asians.

This discovery again insists for a decolonization & renaissance in writing of Indian History & Archaeology while eliminating the colonial & communist lies fed to us by our leftist historians & intelligentsia. The Government must invest heavily in archaeology & research of Indian history, thus unearthing the truth of Bharat, her glorious past & reminding the people of Bharat the truth of their ancestry & the greatness of Indian Civilization.
