83. IndiaStar: Francois Gautier's "Rewriting Indian History" Reviewed By C.J.S. Wall
    Gautier focuses mainly on the Muslim period of india s history. Let it be said right away This is the secret of the political history of modern india.  
    http://www.indiastar.com/wallia10.htm
    
    Extractions: Rewriting Indian History is a provocative new book by the French writer Francois Gautier, who currently serves as the political correspondent in India for France's top newspaper, Le Figaro, and for Switzerland's leading daily, Le Nouveau Quotidien. Having lived in India for 25 years has helped him "to see through the usual cliches and prejudices in India to which I subscribed for a long time, as most foreign (and sometimes, unfortunately, Indian) journalists, writers, and historians do." Rewriting Indian History, the author prefaces, "might well be called an antithesis" for it questions many of the assumptions in the "standard" treatises by Euro-centered colonialist historians and their imitations by Indian Marxist writers. Gautier focuses mainly on the Muslim period of India's history. "Let it be said right away: the massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks; more extensive even than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spanish and Portuguese."

PRIME MINISTERS OF INDIA LEGENDS BEHIND THE INDIAN STATES ANDHRA PRADESH Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh, was once the capital of the fabulous Nizam's territory. The Andhra's were an Aryan race. Their language was Telugu and it has been derived from Trilinga , meaning the three symbols of Shiva. The region that spreads amidst three famous Shiva shrines, at Kalahasti, Srisailam and Draksharaman was called Trilinga. The most glorious period in the history of the Andhras was the era of Krishnadevaraya (1509-1529), who ruled over an empire that embraced the whole of South India, famous as the Vijayanagar Empire. The Telugu speaking areas were separated from what was the composite Madras Sate, on 1st October 1953, and Andhra Pradesh came into being. Highly significant antiques are found in Andhra Pradesh bearing resemblance to various stages of development from the lower Paleolithic times. ASSAM The ancient name of Assam was Kamarupa. According to legend, Kama, the God of love, once made an effort to arouse passion in the heart of the supreme, Shiva. The meditative Shiva opened a third eye in his brow out of which leapt a flame and destroyed Kama. The compassionate God, however, later let Kama be revived.

    Extractions: Bangalore, is now what we call India's Silicon Valley and the country's pub capital, along with aerospace research, biotechnology and dozens of premier education institutions it is perhaps the most westernized city in India. But very few actually know much about the history of this pleasant and beautiful city. Legend has it that a prosperous King of the 11th Century, Veera Ballala the 2nd, was on a expedition when he lost his way in the thick forest. After a long and tiring search for some habitation, the hungry King came across an isolated hut. He knocked on the door and was warmly welcomed by a poor woman. The woman had nothing to offer the King except some boiled beans. The King sumptuously ate the humble meal and left the hut gratefully after a short rest. He later named the town that sprang up in the region 'Benda Kalooru' or town of boiled beans. The name changed as time went on and what we are presently left with is a corrupted version of the original, but a name that we Bangaloreans simply love. In the year 1537, Kempe Gowda designed the present day city. His son Kempe Gowda II built the famous towers at the four corners of the old city. In 1638, Shahaji Bhonsic, the father of Shivaji captured the City. In 1687 Aurargzeb's army captured the City and sold it to the Wodeyars for a paltry sum of 3 lakhs, three years later, the city is gifted to Wodeyar in 1759, he built the famous Lal Bagh, one of Bangalore's most beautifully laid out gardens.

    Extractions: Home India Decisive Dates Culture ... Government History Religion Earliest physical proof of India's heritage can be found at the sites of the ancient cities of Mohenjodaro and Harappa, two cities that belong to the Indus Valley civilization. These excavations, have shown that people at the time had a sophisticated lifestyle, a highly developed sense of aesthetics and an astonishing knowledge of town planning. The people of this civilization also had a script language - however attempts to decipher it have, unfortunately, largely been unsuccessful. At its height, the Indus civilization extended nearly a million square kilometres across the Indus river valley, and though it existed at the same time as the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Sumer, it far outlasted them. Records of Indian people and their culture are also found in the four Vedas , ancient books of knowledge. The Rig Veda , the first of the Vedas , is the oldest book humanity possesses. It is supposed to have been written in 1500 BC. The other Vedas Yajur Veda Sama Veda and Athar Veda , all date back to 1000 BC. The

    Extractions: Now that India has been free for a number of decades from British rule, researchers, historians, and archeologists can all begin to take a new look at the true history of India. We can have a more unbiased view of the numerous new findings that keep cropping up that give an increasingly accurate understanding of how ancient and how advanced was the Indian Vedic civilization. Now more than ever there is a serious lack of support and opposing evidence for the theories that were made popular by the British, such as the Aryan Invasion Theory, or that it was the invading Muslims who gave India the great contributions to Indian art, music, or even architecture with the construction of such buildings as the Taj Mahal, Delhi's Red Fort, Kutab Minar, and other buildings throughout India. With the newer and more accurate historical findings, many of these ideas are falling apart like a house of cards. Let us remember that the Aryan Invasion Theory, which was developed only within the last 200 years by the British and German Sanskritists and Indologists, presents the idea that the Vedic Aryans were not from India but invaded India from outside around 1500 BC or so. This, along with giving credit to other invaders for India's distinguished achievements, such as its great buildings and other cultural developments, was a work of false history and propaganda to help justify the continued rule of the British over Indians, since the Indians themselves were supposed to have invaded India thousands of years earlier. Indians were, after all, to be dominated so the British could continue to rape the land of its natural resources. Yet, some of these ideas remain the hypothesis for which all of Indian history is based, at least among those still influenced by what's left of the British form of indoctrination.

    Extractions: An example of this sort of invasion that has caused such a difference in Indian culture, history, and its status in the world is that of the British. The English attempted to divide and conquer India, to ruin the Vedic Aryan civilization, and to demean Indian culture, even to the point of trying to make its own people hate everything that is Indian. This is explained in World-Wide Hindu Culture (pp.165-6) by Dr. S. Venu Gopalacharya. He describes that on July 3, 1835, Lord Macaulay suggested that the only statesmanship of the Britishers to establish permanent imperialist sovereignty over their richest colony, India, was to make the Indians "Englishmen by Taste." This was to be accomplished through "English Education," similar to bringing under control hundreds of elephants by taming a couple of wild elephants. By 1854 when the whole of India came under British rule, Charles Woodraffe, the Director of the Education Department of the Government of India, in his minutes dated July 19, 1854, stated that it was the best opportunity to give effect to Lord Macaulay's suggestion. For getting grains for one year, sowing of corn is necessary; for getting fruits, trees are to be planted. Likewise, to get perennial or permanent service, human beings are to be sown. For erasing illiteracy, primary schools are to be opened. To get officials with less expenditure, secondary education is essential because importing Englishmen for that purpose is impossible. Colleges with English education is unavoidable to make the Indian educated class detest everything Indian, to make them look at it as nothing more than mean and illogical superstitions.

    Extractions: Goa The History The cave shelters of Bhimbetka in central India showcase a historical narrative from the pre-historic to the historic period. Around 3000 BC, one of the world's oldest civilizations flourished in the fertile valley of the river Indus. Excavations at Mohenjodaro and Harappa point to an evolved civilization living in well-planned cities. Seals, as also the existence of a dockyard at Lothal seem to indicate a sea-borne trade with Mesopotamia. Around 1500 BC, the Aryan presence is recorded. Aside from the horse, they introduced the worship of fire. From nomads to settled agriculturists, the Aryans developed village communities. Hinduism was at a very nascent stage and Sanskrit, from which most north Indian scripts are derived, was the prevailing language. The Hindu epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata are products of this period. Social and intellectual ferment in the 6th century BC led thinkers like Mahavira and Gautama Buddha to seek and offer alternate paths- Jainism and Buddhism. When the Greek ambassador Megasthenes visited India, in the 3rd century BC, the north was consolidated into one great empire under Chandragupta Maurya. His grandson Ashoka the great (268-231 BC), however, is better known. Deeply affected by the bloodbath on the battlefield, he chose to practice and preaches the Buddhist philosophy of non-violence, both in India and abroad.

ADVANI was by no means the first of the adventurers who tried their skills in self-promotion by holding forth on Mohammed Ali Jinnah, professing to retrieve "the real Jinnah" from the morass of hagiography in Pakistan and demonisation in India. Politicians, journalists and academics of varied hues participated in this sport. Amazingly, there is yet not one comprehensive collection of his writings and speeches from 1906, when he entered public life, till his death in 1948, let alone a definitive biography. If a Pakistan academic, Akbar S. Ahmad, involved in an unsavoury controversy over a film on Jinnah, likened him to Saladin ( sic ), Stanley Wolpert, an American academic, who claimed to have toiled for more than a quarter of a century over his biography, appointed him as "Managing Director of the Tata Enterprises" (

Please feel free to link the page as it is, including this note, but strictly refrain from copying it as it may result in appropriate legal action. Ganit (Mathematics) has been considered a very important subject since ancient times. We find very elaborate proof of this in Vedah (which were compiled around 6000 BC). The concept of division, addition et-cetera was used even that time. Concepts of zero and infinite were there. We also find roots of algebra in Vedah. When Indian Beez Ganit reached Arab, they called it Algebra. Algebra was name of the Arabic book that described Indian concepts. This knowledge reached to Europe from there. And thus ancient Indian Beez Ganit is currently referred to as Algebra.

    Extractions: AMARTYA SEN The text of Amartya Sen's inaugural address at the 61st session of the Indian History Congress. IN an often-quoted remark, Henry Ford, the great captain of industry, said, "History is more or less bunk." As a general statement about history, this is perhaps not an assessment of compelling delicacy. And yet Henry Ford would have been right to think, if that is what he meant, that history could easily become "bunk" through motivated manipulation. SUSHANTA PATRONOBISH Amartya Sen delivers his inaugural address at the Indian History Congress. This is especially so if the writing of history is manoeuvred to suit a slanted agenda in contemporary politics. There are organised attempts in our country, at this time, to do just that, with arbitrary augmentation of a narrowly sectarian view of India 's past, along with undermining its magnificently multireligious and heterodox history. Among other distortions, there is also a systematic confounding here of mythology with history. An extraordinary example of this has been the interpretation of the Ramayana , not as a great epic, but as documentary history, which can be invoked to establish property rights over places and sites possessed and owned by others.

It is named after the Vedas , the early literature of the Hindu people. The Vedic Civilization flourished along the river Saraswati , in a region that now consists of the modern Indian states of Haryana and Punjab . The Vedic texts have astronomical dates, that some have claimed, go back to the 5th millennium BC. The use of Vedic Sanskrit continued up to the 6th century BC. Vedic is synonymous with Aryans and Hinduism , which is another name for religious and spiritual thought that has evolved from the Vedas The early Aryans Unfortunately, the origin of the Saraswati Valley civilization (Vedic culture) and its relation to the Indus Valley civilization remain hazy. The timeline of Vedic civilization is 4500 BC-1800 BC while that of Indus valley civilization is 3300 BC-1800 BC. The texts describe a geography that some believe to be north India. The greatest river of the Rigveda was Saraswati , now dry and identified with Ghaggar, a seasonal river. It is believed that this river ceased to reach the Arabian Sea by about 1900 BC. Now, a dry river bed, that seems to fit the description of the Saraswati River, has been detected by satellite imagery. It begins in the modern Indian state of
