Rewriting History

A few key points from the article.

The committee’s chairman, K.N. Dik***, told Reuters, “I have been asked to present a report that will help the government rewrite certain aspects of ancient history.” The committee’s creator, Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma, confirmed in an interview that the group’s work was part of larger plans to revise India’s history.*

Minutes of the meeting, reviewed by Reuters, and interviews with committee members set out its aims: to use evidence such as archaeological finds and DNA to prove that today’s Hindus are directly descended from the land’s first inhabitants many thousands of years ago, and make the case that ancient Hindu scriptures are fact not myth.

Hindu nationalists and senior figures in Modi’s party reject the idea that India was forged from a mass migration. They believe that today’s Hindu population is directly descended from the land’s first inhabitants.

*The RSS asserts that ancestors of all people of Indian origin - including 172 million Muslims - were Hindu and that they must accept their common ancestry as part of Bharat Mata, or Mother India.

Cue a whole new misinformed generation. Although I don’t think they need to bother, plenty of people are already drinking the kool aid.

Re: Rewriting History

Not sure which DNA they are talking about. India has mainly two ancient populations. The older population (Dravidians) which is actually derived from the first phases of east-ward human migration from the Middle East to the Subcontinent and beyond. The second more recent population was a result of south-eastwardly migration of Indo-Europeans (now defunct term Aryans) toward India from Eurasia and Central Asia. This is also supported by the DNA studies.

Re: Rewriting History

Our ancestors had sanad from Ahmad Shah Durrani who came with him to India. Since centuries our ancestor’s mosque still exist in home town of Sindh. Our ancestors were most learned men as per gazette notification of British rulers, many centuries ago which still exit. Our ancestors were missionaries who converted your hindu ancestors in to Muslims not by force but by their own free wills. Do you want to listen to more…I would have never revealed this information here unless some one idiot like you force me to do so. One of the reason: We blended with the local population and became one of their own and we are proud of it.

Re: Rewriting History

Cool story bro. So you’re either an immigrant/invader or a hindu convert that is ashamed of his heritage. I think you’re the latter lmao.
