Download or read book The Aryan Problem a Linguistic Approach written by Satya Swarup Misra and published by Munshiram Manoharlal. This book was released on 1992 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The Aryan Problem-a Linguistic Approach presents fresh linguistic evidence to solve several complications of the issue. Archaeological evidence is also presented side by side when it has been considered to be complimentary to the linguistic evidence. The Aryan problem is attacked chiefly with a revolutionary reassessment of the date of Rigveda on the basis of fresh linguistic evidence assisted by the Archaeological evidence. The date of Rigveda has been proved to be beyond 5000 BC. The revised date of Rigveda solves several other problems; for example the Indus civilization naturally comes late than the Vedic civilization. Since fresh Archaeological evidence proves Indus civilization to be Aryan; but according to the revised date of Rigveda, the Indus civilization indicates the Puranic stage or a later stage. The original home of Indo-European has also been reconsidered and it has been shown that it was possible for the Aryans to go to other parts of Indo-European area from India. The evidence of the migration of the Gypsies gives a clue to the change of Proto Indo-European a to a, e, o in several Indo-European languages and to migrations from India in ancient days. A probable common origin of Indo-European and Dravidian has also been attempted. The work presents evidence of horse for Aryan migration from India to outside. Besides evidence of cotton, iron etc. have also been utilized for fixation of the date of Rigveda. Thus the work presents sufficient evidence for a reconsideration of several vital problems of Aryan migration.

Download or read book Aryans and British India written by Thomas R. Trautmann and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aryan," a word that today evokes images of racial hatred and atrocity, was first used by Europeans to suggest bonds of kinship, as Thomas Trautmann shows in his far-reaching history of British Orientalism and the ethnology of India. When the historical relationship uniting Sanskrit with the languages of Europe was discovered, it seemed clear that Indians and Britons belonged to the same family. Thus the Indo-European or Aryan idea, based on the principle of linguistic kinship, dominated British ethnological inquiry. In the nineteenth century, however, an emergent biological "race science" attacked the authority of the Orientalists. The spectacle of a dark-skinned people who were evidently civilized challenged Victorian ideas, and race science responded to the enigma of India by redefining the Aryan concept in narrowly "white" racial terms. By the end of the nineteenth century, race science and Orientalism reached a deep and lasting consensus in regard to India, which Trautmann calls "the racial theory of Indian civilization," and which he undermines with his powerful analysis of colonial ethnology in India. His work of reassessing British Orientalism and the Aryan idea will be of great interest to historians, anthropologists, and cultural critics.

Book excerpt: In a remarkable feat of imagination and research, bhagwan S. Gidwani takes us back to the dawn of civilization (8000 BCE) to vividly recreate the world of the Aryans.

Here are characters like the gentle god Sindhu Putra, spreading his message of love; the hermit Bharat, who inspired the dream of unity, equality, human rights and dignity for all; the physician - sage Dhanawantar and his wife Dhanawantari; peace-loving Kashi after whom the holy city of Varanasi is named; and Nila who gave his name to the rive Nile.
