BRAHMAN: THE DISCOVERY OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM: M. M. NINAN<br />

Khyber Pass<br />

About 1500 BC Harappan Civilization began to decline.<br />

The history of ancient India during these centuries is obscure, but this decline has been linked by<br />

modern scholars to several possible factors which include:<br />

environmental factors, such as change in climate patterns or an overuse of land and water<br />

resources; and to<br />

migration by Indo-European tribes from central Asia<br />

Verses in the Rig Veda indicates that the destruction of the water dams and the killing of the black<br />

people called dasyus were intentionally done by the migrating fair skinned people who called<br />

themselves “Aryan”. Many believe that the decline of the Harappan civilization was a result of Aryan<br />

invasions from the north. This theory seems logical because the Aryans came to power in the<br />

Ganges Valley shortly after the Indus demise of the Indus Valley Civilization. The black skinned<br />

people were pushed down to the Southern India.<br />

It was always the custom of the victors to intentionally destroy or destort the history of victims.<br />

Damnatio memoriae is the Latin phrase used which literally meanin "Damning of memory" in the<br />

sense of a judgment that a person must not be remembered. The intent was to erase someone<br />

from history, a task somewhat easier in ancient times, when documentation was much<br />

sparser.According to the biblical story, when the ancient Israelites entered the land of Canaan, they<br />

were ordered to destroy all pagan tribes and their property; but the tribe of Amalek was not only<br />

specifically singled out for destruction rather Yahweh would "completely blot out the name of<br />

Amalek from under heaven" This included burning down of all documents and references to them<br />

and destroying everything that can identify them. History has seen such events as part of<br />

occupation of one people by another and it was a normal practice all over the world. If we see the<br />

great Indus Valley Civilization with no literature or signs of intellectual activity there is no other<br />

reason we can find. I am told the biggest literature found in IVC contains five lines of three words<br />

in some broken seal. Evidently the victors were effective in their erasing all memories of SVC so<br />

that they can claim it as their own.<br />
