You hindus have been fooled and you still don’t realise it. History of South Asia has been manufactured by the British. The story of a glorious Hindu past has been concocted by James Princep who came up with the fantastic tale of a composite figure who had never been mentioned by South Asian or Greek historian who were residents of the area. The name “Asoka” was created to put a moniker on a composite figure.
Top Indian historian Romilla Thapar destroys all the myths associated with the nonsense of the so called Golden Age of Hinduism. Gone are the controversial 150 year Mauryas (whose history is as ambiguous as that of Sindhbad and the tooth Fairy), The 300 year so called mystery of the Guptas (never proven), the 200 year fabrication of the Chalukyas, The Rashtrakutas, The Cholas and Pandyas and the The Vijayanagar Empire. Romila Thapar’s has written reams against the so called “Golden age” theory .
The current crop of Hindu jingoism stems from this false version history which was imposed on Bharat in 2003.
The New York Times reported on the topic of Manufctured history of India in a fascinating artice written by Kai Friese. He says “India’s Hindu nationalists have long had a quarrel with history. They are unhappy with the notion that the most ancient texts of Hinduism are associated with the arrival of the Vedic ”Aryan” peoples from the Northwest. They don’t like the dates of 1500 to 1000 B.C. ascribed by historians to the advent of the Vedic peoples, the forebears of Hinduism, or the idea that the Indus Valley civilization predates Vedic civilization. And they certainly can’t stand the implication that Hinduism, like the other religious traditions of India, evolved through a mingling of cultures and peoples from different lands”.
The Supreme Court of Bharat has ruled that Hindus were not the original inhabitants of Bharat–the Bhils were.
According to the Supreme Court “The Bhils are probably the descendants of some of the original inhabitants of India known as the ‘aborigines’ or Scheduled Tribes (Adivasis), who now comprise only about eight per cent of the population of India.
