[world-vedic] Yadus of Siberia&Central Asia

[Guest guest]

The following is excerpted from research on the writings of Colonel Tod. Col.

Tod was a British military man who did extensive research into India’s history.

He spent much time in India during the 1800s and claimed to have found many

ancient recorded evidences and writings in Rajasthan, India. These findings

convinced him that India’s people and civilization were the Genesis of much of

the World’s Civilization.

In his book, “Rajasthan” he traced a multitude of links to India, below I will

share some of his findings on India’s connection to Turkistan and Northern Asia.

 

 

VEDIC CONNECTIONS TO NORTHERN and CENTRAL ASIA

 

The Turanians who extended over the whole of Turkistan and Central Asia were

originally an Indian people. Colonel Tod writes,“Abdul Gazi says that Tamak, the

son of Ture is the the Turishka of the Puranas. His descendants gave their name

to Tocharistan or Turkistan.” Professor Max Muller says, “Turvas and his

descendants who represent the Turanians, are described in the later poems of

India as cursed and deprived of their inheritance,” and hence their migration.

 

Colonel Tod says, “The Jaisalmer annals assert that the Yadu (Lord Krishna’s

Dynasty) and the Balika branches of the Indu race ruled Korassan after the Great

War of Kurukshetra(approx.5130 years ago.) These Indian peoples are the

Indo-Scythic races mentioned in the ancient Greek writings.”

 

Besides the Balika and the numerous branches of the Indo-Medes, many of the sons

of Kuru dispersed over these regions. among these we place the Uttara Kurus, or

Northern Kurus of the Puranas. They were known as the Ottorocurae to the Ancient

Greeks. Both the Indus and the Surya peoples of Vedic India were sending their

excess population to these distant regions.”

 

A Mohammedan historian writes that emigrants from India first inhabited the

country of Khata. It is also known that Hindu settlers left India for Siberia,

where they founded a Kingdom, with Bajrapur as its capital. It is related that

upon the death in battle, of the king of that country, three of Lord Krishna’s

sons, Pradyumna, Gada, and Samba made a journey to Bajrapur. They were

accompanied by a large number of Brahmanas (Priests) and Ksatriyas (Warriors).

The eldest brother, Pradyumna, ascended the throne. When Lord Krishna left this

world, it is said that the inhabitants of Bajrapur came to Dwaraka, Krishna’s

City, to console His family members. (This is recorded in the Hari Vamsha,

Vishnu Parva, Adhyaya 97.)

 

Colonel Tod continues, “The annals of the Yadus of Jaisalmer state long before

King Vikrama, that they held dominion from Ghazni to Samarkahand. They

established themselves in those regions after the Great War of the Mahabharata

and were not pushed back to the Indus until the rise of Islam. The Yadus of

Jaisalmer ruled Zabulistan and founded Ghazni. They also claim Chagatai (a

descendant of Genghis Khan) as being of their own bloodline. This is a claim I

now deem worthy of credit.”

 

The Afghans are the descendants of the Aphgana, the Serpent tribe of the

Apivansa region of ancient India. According to Abu Haukal, the city of Herat is

also called Heri. This adjoins Maru or Murve. The country called Seestan, was

also a settlement of the Hindus. Seestan (the region of cold or see-stan) and

all sides of the valley were occupied since very ancient times by another branch

of the Yadus.

 

In fact the very name of the continent Asia, comes from the Indian clan who were

known as the Ashwa.

Also the name Europa comes from the Sanskrit words Surupa which means “Beautiful

Form.” In both languages the term Eu and Su mean good or auspicious.

 

It has been shown that the Bactrians were an Indian people and that the Indian

migrations extended to Siberia and the Northern most parts of Asia. This is

evident from the fact that the descendants of these Vedic Aryans are still to be

found there.

 

The Samoyedes and Tchoudes of Siberia and Finland were originally known as the

Shyamayadus and the Joudes of India. The languages of the two former races have

a strong affinity and are classed as Indo-Germanic by Klaproth, the author of

the Book, “Asia Polyglotta.” Mr. Remusat traces these tribes to Central Asia,

the exact place where the Yadus dynasty long held sway. The name of the Siberian

peoples known as the Samoyedes can be traced to the Shyama-Yadus. Shyama is a

name of Krishna and Krishna is known as the Lord of the Yadus and this branch of

His family were known as the Shyama Yadus.

 

The race of Joude is described by Baber as occupying the mountainous range at

the very spot mentioned in the annals of the Yadus as the point marking the

furthest extension of their migrations. The most prominent hill in this range is

called Yadu-ki-dang or Hill of Yadu. According to these records, they left India

approx. 4000 years ago.
