The chronology of Indian civilisation is ‘dubious’, says the newly-published IIT-Kharagpur calendar, which is dedicated to the Centre for Excellence of Indian Knowledge Systems. The ancient Indian history suffered from “suppression, compromises, contractions, and distortions,” it states while debunking those myths through its pages.
Titled ‘Recovery of the Foundation of Indian Knowledge Systems’, this 2021 calendar covers subjects such as the Indus civilisation, cyclic time, space-time causation, non-linear flow and changes, Aryan sages, unicorn, aeons of time, cosmic symmetry, semantics and semiotics, and world wars. It also tells us about the Recovery of the Foundations of Indian Knowledge Systems and covers Recognition of the Secret of Vedas, Reinterpretation of the Indus Valley Civilisation and Rebuttal to the Aryan Invasion Myth.
The calendar is divided into three parts: The First Part initiates the basic pointers, either evaded or manipulated by the Colonial Historians, the Second part puts forward a more decisive set of four evidences that brings the Vedic Culture and the Indus Valley Civilization (7000 BCE – 1500 BCE) under one fold while the Third and last part talks about why the Colonial rulers were desperate to forge such a myth. “The evidences given in the second part are just a tip of an iceberg,” it says, while quoting Swami Vivkananda and Sri Aurobindo underlining how Western experts have wrongly explained the Aryan civilisation.
The introductory note of the calendar says “The current Chronology of Indian Civilisation and history is dubious and questionable. A long evolutionary sequence of literature, cultural and spiritual texts are evident prior to the birth of the Buddha and the Mahavira. It must have had taken a few 1000 years to achieve that. From the early Vedic Srutis (oracular form) before it took form of literature to later Vedic Age and Puranic literature, it is definitely few 1000 years. But the long chronology has suffered suppression, compromises, contractions, and distortions.”
The calendar ends with its commentary on “Aryan Fallacy & The Two World Wars 1914 – 1945”. Adolf Hitler, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg on 30 January 1933. Hitler rapidly established a totalitarian regime of the Teutonic, Anglo-Saxon, and the Germans on the Superior Aryan theme & a defamed history of anti-Semitism and worldwide invasion… More than 120 million civilians and soldiers were killed and slaughtered between 1914 and 1945 in the name of European definition of Aryan invasion! The problem continues… Triggering the Aryan Myth and causing The World Wars I & II, the deadliest conflict so far in human history, marked by more than 110 million fatalities…”
IIT-Karagpur is doing yeoman’s service regards to the Indian cultre and history. Its Nehru Museum of Science and Technology had earlier published a calendar (2021) focussing on astronomy, law and the arts studied in ancient India.
