[world-vedic] REPOST:YADUS

[Guest guest]

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.
