<strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong>: <strong>What</strong> <strong>Really</strong> Happened <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> – M. M. N<strong>in</strong>an<br />
The Scriptures of all nations are the history of those nations whereby<br />
God of the nation is seen <strong>in</strong> action. We can <strong>in</strong>deed know God only<br />
through his action <strong>in</strong> the life of the people and <strong>in</strong> the life of the nation.<br />
Thus, Yhvh is the God of Israel; Indra is the God of Vedic Aryans. The<br />
wars were won by the gods - not by people. Aga<strong>in</strong>, K<strong>in</strong>gs were always<br />
considered gods. Thus, they were worshipped <strong>in</strong> Egypt, <strong>in</strong> Rome, <strong>in</strong><br />
Syria etc. Worship of K<strong>in</strong>g Nebuchadnezzar’s idol was such a<br />
statement. K<strong>in</strong>gs were crowned by the Priests to denote that they got<br />
their right to rule through God. Samuel the tall shy one and David the<br />
shepherd boy got their right to rule by ano<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g of God’s own prophet.<br />
The Gods of Vedas and the Puranas were K<strong>in</strong>gs, who were later deified.<br />
Myths began to grow around them. Thus, it is legitimate and proper to<br />
see the story of Aryan <strong>in</strong>vasion <strong>in</strong> the stories of Vedas and <strong>in</strong> the later<br />
Puranas.<br />
Prof Uthaya traces these <strong>in</strong>vasions <strong>in</strong> his book <strong>in</strong> detail. I will quote the<br />
salient parts <strong>in</strong> summary as I try to make a coherent picture of the growth<br />
of Aryan <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong>. http://www.dalitstan.org/books/bibai/. For<br />
the abbreviation of referrences see bibai9.html.<br />
<strong>What</strong> follow is a summary of historical events of war which culm<strong>in</strong>ated<br />
<strong>in</strong> the conquest of whole of <strong>India</strong> from Himalayas to Sri Lanka.<br />

In the Rig Veda, Indra is the k<strong>in</strong>g of the gods. He has power over the sky and<br />
ra<strong>in</strong> and his weapon is the thunderbolt. Indra is depicted with four arms and<br />
ride horse chariot <strong>in</strong> the earlier versions and later depicted as rid<strong>in</strong>g a white<br />
elephant Airavata. Indra is the god of battle and a drunkard. Before each battle,<br />
he dr<strong>in</strong>ks enormous quantities of <strong>in</strong>toxicat<strong>in</strong>g soma juice prepared from a<br />
plant. He has even killed his father when his father took some of his soma. He<br />
defeated Vritra the Naga. By kill<strong>in</strong>g the serpent, Indra separated land from<br />
ocean, and caused the sun to rise.<br />
