Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 35
Was there an Aryan Invasion of India? Was there a massacre of the
natives at that time? These may look very sensitive issues now.
However, these questions must be looked upon from the point of view of
the society, which existed at that period, and the methods of migration
and occupation common to the period. It was normal for large family
groups to migrate from one place to another as it is done even today.
Bible speaks of extensive migratory movements and interactions of
families like Terah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the nation of Israel
through areas covering Ur of the Chaldea to the land of Egypt and all
land in between. The means of transportation and methods of occupation
were different than today. But the basic philosophy and thrust has
always been the same. Semites were cattle and sheep breeders and they
looked for pastures. Aryans were good agriculturists and it is normal
that Aryans expanded into other territories. Especially at the onslaught
of Semitic tribes into their own land, the Aryans were naturally forced to
find fertile areas outside of their familiar landscape. With their superior
war techniques and weapons of mass destruction made out of iron it is
not in anyway surprising that they were able to conquer and weed out the
Indo-Dravidian occupants from their settlements. The conquest of
Canaan in the Bible, conquests of Alexander the Great, Persian and
Assyrian conquests, the colonization of America and India by the
colonialists and all history repeats the same process.
There is nothing to be ashamed of by the descendants – in which I also
belong - of these powerful people about their history. It simply was the
norm of that time and it still is. If one read the Old Testament invasions,
we see exactly the same ruthless destruction and massacre of innocent
that Marcion and several other early Christians were forced to propose
an evil God of the Old Testament.
We do not have any details about how the Dravidians came to be the
occupants of India before the Aryans came in. Were there others in the
region before them? Some analysts believe that the Dravidians are of
Negro origin while others purpose that they were the children of
Abraham through his handmaids. “The circumstances of the advent of
