There were fifty one pieces of the dead body of Sati cut by Lord Vishnu and the places on the earth where they fell are known as Shaktipeeth. Each Shaktipeeth is connected with one of the body part of Sati. Kamakhya in Assam is where the Yoni (vagina) of Sati fell and is considered a very powerful centre of Shakti (female) worship.

[SipahSalar]

I already told you and proved with sources that native Indians follow religion of aryans who were nomadic cattle thieves. They used to steal cattle from dasus/native Indian dravids and distribuite among aryans.

You guys should revert back to ancient religion of Indians, toka moka tribal religion still followed by junglis.

wow!
From from where did you come up with that story??
Show me the links and the author.

Troy is a real geographic point while the story around it is a myth.

I hope you understood the context in which that example (troy along with Harappa) was quoted.

 

[Kabira]

wow!

d.

Cattles stealing is main theme of Rig Veda and the reason battle of ten kings was fought between different rig vedic tribes of ancient Pakistan.

[10-048] HYMN XLVIII. Indra Vaikuntha.
2 I, Indra, am Atharvan's stay and firm support: I brought forth kine to Trita from the Dragon's grasp.
I stripped the Dasyus of their manly might, and gave the cattle-stalls to Matarigvan and Dadhyac.

dasus used to raise cattle and aryans steal it.

@Srinivas

Majority of Mahabharata is related to Ganga Valley like even the core sites like Hastinapur is on the banks of Ganga even Bhishma is called Gangaputra

That is your interpretation of the story.

Btw if the part of rigveda quoted by you is true then so this hymn....

[05-029] HYMN XXIX. Agni.
10 One car-wheel of the Sun thou rolledst forward, and one thou settest free to move for Kutsa.
Thou slewest noseless Dasyus with thy weapon, and in their home o'erthrewest hostile speakers.

10-022] HYMN XXII. Indra.
8 Around us is the Dasyu, riteless, void of sense, inhuman, keeping alien laws.
Baffle, thou Slayer of the foe, the weapon which this Dasa wields.


Now please dont tell me that we were fighting intergalactic wars.

so be it!
But let me tell you that there is zilch truth in this story....

I already told you and proved with sources that native Indians follow religion of aryans who were nomadic cattle thieves. They used to steal cattle from dasus/native Indian dravids and distribuite among aryans.

Aryans, if at all existed were the nomads who came and lived in circular huts.They came 500 years after the Sindhu-Saraswati civilisation had shifted its base to Ganga river.

 

[Ajai Ghale]

toka moka this doesn't concern you.

Abdul Razzak I am a Jamwal,even Bhishma pitamah would laugh if he heard a mallecha claimed that he read vedas.
