Shifting Room Blues!!!!

My room got shifted! Yes! The reasons why it got shifted are not important! But my room got shifted but I am back in my own room once again (sigh of relief)! I had to move out not to another building, not to my parents flat but to another room in the same flat! Yes just to another room in the same flat! I use that room when my friends come over … we hang out in that room…. I have no cause to despise that room and its not like it was locked up for ages and it was filled with dirt or anything but I felt like I was in some alien land, unknown territory, trespassing! Put very plainly I was uncomfortable… its an uncanny feeling I can’t describe… as if I am occupying somebody else’s space and that person could not denounce me… but if he had his way he would have done so… but more than that I hated the fact I was not in my room, my space, my territory… why this feeling??? why this frog in the well attitude??? I asked myself over and over again… finally I started to look into the matter from a different aspect… I kind of got an answer… let me try to explain… lets look at advent of Aryans for instance… the Aryan settlements in the pre-vedic age that has continued to 2006 AD!

The Puranas give the earlier history of Vedic Aryans (i.e. the Purus), who were the authors of the Rigveda, showing them to have originated in south eastern Uttar Pradesh before their ancestors went and settled down in the Punjab; but they also name two other groups of Indo Europeans (the Anus and the Druhyus), with a similar origin in south eastern Uttar Pradesh, and show them to have settled down in areas to the north and northwest of the Vedic Aryans, and even specifically record their migration northwards and away from these areas. The Rigveda, in its Dasarajna hymns, names the historically closest five branches of the present day Indo European languages as having been branches of the Anus and Druhyus, while its mythology proves to be practically identical with the parent mythology of all the later branch mythologies…
In this context, any theory that the Indus Civilization was a "non Aryan" civilization (specifically "Dravidian", or even "Austric") destroyed by "Aryan Invaders" stands exposed as a gross misconception or a motivated fabrication. The facts scream out that the Indus Civilization was an IndoEuropean one.
Practically the only general ground on which it had been branded as "nonAryan" and "Dravidian" was that the scholars, long before the discovery of the civilization, had already formulated a theory of an Aryan Invasion of a Dravidian India. The fact that they had to (as unwittingly admitted by Malati Shendge) quickly and radically reassess the Aryan vs non Aryan equation from a view that "the Aryan invaders of India encountered only a rabble of aboriginal savages" to a view that "the Aryan advent in India was in fact the arrival of barbarians into a region already highly organised into an empire based on a long established tradition of literature urban culture" was, of course, only a minor detail!
However, the evidence in the Rigveda and the Puranas proves conclusively and finally that there was no "Aryan invasion" of India but in fact an outflow of groups of "Aryans" from India who carried the speech family to its present habitats. This knocks out the very basis of the characterization of the Indus Civilization as "pre Aryan" and "non Aryan".

I will not bore you with historical facts and criticisms but for a fact they settled and to this day we bear the marks… this is actually contrary to the nomadic tribes… who would go from one place to another plundering and using up the resources then moving on… anyway keeping this in mind lets proceed… we, present Indians are the descendants of Aryans (I am not excluding the Dravidians), broadly speaking and not going into the individual 'Aryan' tribes which migrated from modern day Euro-Asia and Central Asia. What did the Aryans do… they saw that they could settle in perfectly and practise their agriculture etc... so they made it their territory and tried to safeguard it(like us) and the dream or thought of moving to a better habitat (comparatively) did not occur to them… why??? The answer can be given best by a psychologist of history but that’s not what I want… what I mean is the Aryans had the frog in the well attitude… maybe just maybe … a passing thought … this trait has stayed with us even today … but the paradigm has shifted today… it narrows down to the basic habits and characteristics of ours… just like they hated to move out of the Punjab plains, Ganga delta etc … similarly I guess I hated shifting from my room… i guess that is why 'development' as an option is still vague to us...

Ps. I’ve used the Aryans as a model… other tribes of Indo-European origins have this trait also…! And also my research material representation is limited… my sincerest apologies… if you want more info on the advent of the Aryans I would love to share it … contact me! and also this blog does not aim to offer a side or intake to the debate whether the aryans invaded india or not!

Pss. I am back to bloggin ………………………………… !
