The Aryan Invasion Revised

[Guest guest]

The Hollow Earth Theory and the Aryan Invasion

Revised

 

The Aryan invasion theory has been a basis and justification of Western

interpretation upon the civilisation and history of India. Although many

Indologists within India have been influenced by such thought, the theory

has not met majority acceptance within India and is even coming under attack

in the West. David Frawley, one Sanskrit scholar recognised both inside as

well as outside of India has assessed the current situation of the Aryan

invasion theory thusly:

" One of the main ideas used to interpret - and generally devalue - the

ancient history of India is the theory of the Aryan invasion. According to

this account, India was invaded and conquered by nomadic light-skinned

Indo-European tribes from Central Asia around 1500-100 BC, who overthrew an

earlier and more advanced dark-skinned Dravidian civilization from which

they took most of what later became Hindu culture ... This idea- totally

foreign to the history of India, whether North or South, has become an

almost unquestioned truth in the interpretation of ancient history today.

Today, after nearly all the reasons for its supposed validity have been

refuted, even major Western scholars are at last beginning to call it into

question." ( David Frawley, " The Myth of the Aryan Invasion" )

 

One main reason that the theory has been called into question is that there

is no primary evidence. No monuments to any heros of such invasions have

been excavated, no related cemetaries unearthed, no battle fields

identified in relation to the theory, no forts, in short- nothing in the way

of physical evidence. There is a host of other incongruencies, but this is

the general idea.

 

What Western scholars have relied upon to substantiate the theory is

etimology. They trace linguistic patterns, encompassing the East and West,

and then by implication pinpoint a central geographic area which then serves

as a common point of origin of the Indo-European language and race. This

point, being basically the Caucasians and mountaneous regions of Persia, is

of course, outside of India, such that the existence of the Aryan race in

Northern India is attributed to an invasion, and such is the flimsy

explanation they offer for the Caucasian presence in India.

 

It has often been pointed out that few other principal theories have ever

been accepted based on such indirect, flimsy evidence. When something ends

up being so rigidly imposed with such little basis, a reasonable mind will

look for other motives. Again we may rely on the broad understanding of

David Frawley:

 

 

" It is important to examine the social and political implications of the

Aryan invasion idea:

First, it served to divide India into a northern Aryan and southern

Dravidian culture which were made hostile to each other. This kept the

Hindus divided and is still a source of social tension.

Second, it gave the British an excuse in their conquest of India. They could

claim to be doing only what the Aryan ancestors of the Hindus had previously

done millennia ago.

Third, it served to make Vedic culture later than and possibly derived from

Middle Eastern cultures. With the proximity and relationship of the latter

with the Bible and Christianity, this kept the Hindu religion as a sidelight

to the development of religion and civilization to the West.

Fourth, it allowed the sciences of India to be given a Greek basis, as any

Vedic basis was largely disqualified by the primitive nature of the Vedic

culture.

This discredited not only the 'Vedas' but the genealogies of the 'Puranas'

and their long list of the kings before the Buddha or Krishna were left

without any historical basis. The 'Mahabharata', instead of a civil war in

which all the main kings of India participated as it is described, became a

local skirmish among petty princes that was later exaggerated by poets. In

short, it discredited the most of the Hindu tradition and almost all its

ancient literature. It turned its scriptures and sages into fantacies and

exaggerations.

This served a social, political and economical purpose of domination,

proving the superiority of Western culture and religion. It made the Hindus

feel that their culture was not the great thing that their sages and

ancestors had said it was. It made Hindus feel ashamed of their culture -

that its basis was neither historical nor scientific. It made them feel that

the main line of civilization was developed first in the Middle East and

then in Europe and that the culture of India was peripheral and secondary to

the real development of world culture.

Such a view is not good scholarship or archeology but merely cultural

imperialism. The Western Vedic scholars did in the intellectual spehere what

the British army did in the political realm - discredit, divide and conquer

the Hindus.

In short, the compelling reasons for the Aryan invasion theory were neither

literary nor archeological but political and religious - that is to say, not

scholarship but prejudice. Such prejudice may not have been intentional but

deep-seated political and religious views easily cloud and blur our

thinking."

The readers might want to conclude, as more and more academians are, that

the origin of the Aryan people and their presence in India is an open

question.

What impact does the Hollow Earth understanding have on this issue? Any

impact that it may have is hidden in one of the best places to hide

anything- right in front of our noses, in the Puranas themselves! The

Puranas tell us that at the end of the Kali Yuga, Vedic culture is

regenerated by humans from the center of the Earth, after the Kalki Avatar

brings the Kali Yuga to a close. This is not the only reference to the

hollow Earth in the Puranas, but it is the one which indicates the origin of

the Vedic Aryans on the surface of the Earth.

 

The Aryan race can easily be seen to stretch from Northern India to Skandana

via and along the Russian coast of the Barents Sea. How far would it be

from, for example, the point of Severnay Zemiya penninsula to the mini

opening indicated by current hollow Earth researchers, which is offset from

the North Pole on the Russian side?

hop, skip and a jump- no more than a few hundred miles. So how difficult

would it be for the Caucasian/Aryan race to re-introduce itself to the

surface of the planet from this particular opening to the hollow portion at

the end of every Kali Yuga? If we take any stock in the Puranic version, not

so difficult at all.

 

And there are supposed to be other openings which connect the surface of the

planet with the hollow portion. Nicholas Roerich, for example, in his book

" Shambala," wrote of his travels through Tibet in the 1920s through the

Karakorum Pass in the Altai Mountains. He wrote of seeing caves closed up by

stones, of passing over what seemed to be hollow areas by the echos from the

horses' hooves, and of a current understanding of the hollow Earth in the

collective minds of the Tibetan people. So any cyclical reappearance of

Vedic civilisation and the Aryan race could manifest from at least two

points that we can suggest, possibly more. The Tibetan openings could easily

account for the Aryan race immigrating down into the Indian subcontinent, as

well as for the existence of that race at all points from the Indian

subcontinent, across the Indo-European world, and up to the Barents' coast

of Russia. Thus does the hollow Earth theory reinforce the Puranic account

of a cyclical, Aryan re-population of the surface of our planet.

Additionally, the hollow Earth theory dispells the unsubstantiated theory of

the Aryan invasion and gives a new perspectives on Aryan migration
