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 />
