Hindu History of Gandhaar

Image
  Time changed, names changed, memories faded and monuments were demolished. Yet traces can be knitted together to narrate the glorious history of the land of Gandhaar and Jabul. Indian Subcontinent, a geographical descendant of Indus Saraswati civilization traces its oldest existence through great compilation and reference in four Ved. The Rig Veda earlier than any human imagination appears to refer to a period between 1500 BC to 3000 BC when river Kubha. Rig Ved refers to a city called Kubha along this river and thus the earliest reference of present day Afghanistan begins . Avesta another religious text of Zoroastrianism refers to a similar name Kubha and reference about its inhabitant. The word Afghanistan itself has a Sanskrit origin. In Sanskrit the word “Ashwa” means Horse. If this is suffixed with “Ghan” which means tribe or group, it completes into a word Ashwaghan. The meaning of this is “who is the Keeper of Horses”. The word “Stan” means place or land. Thus, the ori...

Astronomy & Mathematics: - Amazing Work by Sanatan Sages & Seers

Image
  Indian tradition of Mathematics and Astronomy is most amazing and least recalled and taught in India's education system. Courtesy Macaulay missionary academia, which ensured great work is erased and forgotten systematically. How was this possible? Gazing through the naked eye and through prolonged observation of nature and astronomical motion was the adopted methodology. Yes many would disagree. And It would certainly sound unbelievable to the generation who uses calculators for making small multiplication calculations.   It is our failure that these discoveries of Number system, Hindu decimal system, planetary motion and the other endless scientific discoveries have not been summarized for our generations. Who made it possible? All this work has been documented in great ancient Language Sanskrit, whose grammar was conceptualized by Panini. Panini (5 th  Century BC): - Sanskrit was a language in which all the narration of Hindu Sanatan Seers and Sages were do...

Nalanda University Burnt -1202 and Cambridge University founded – 1209

Image
  Few know University of Cambridge was founded and built around 1209 in England and University of Nalanda was burnt around 1202. And this sums up the story how a civilization declined and another aroused. It takes painful years to construct and a fraction of second to destroy. Idioms well narrated for University of Nalanda and Odantapuri in Bihar. Who destroyed and burnt these sheets of learning? Historians are more cunning politicians than politicians themselves. No one will tell you who the Invader were? Where did they come from? Why did they plunder and destroy? Instead they have been glorified in the History and Culture book. Railway Station, Road and Public Building have been named after them. A Society and a Nation cannot progress when its conscience and Soul is pledged. These apt sentences reveal everything that our politician and Historian concealed all these years. Bakhtiyar Khilzi a desert invader, an illiterate Turkish slave on the instruction of another s...
