HISTORY... This is one subject that most of the people in this country hate to read. Very few people have a passion in this subject. I'm one such person. History has been my favorite subject throughout my School days, particularly 10th (That got nothing to do with Ranjani teacher :P).
Fortunately or unfortunately, I chose to become an Engineer... And the 10th class History textbook is the last time I read History before I restarted it seven years later. I'm currently working as an Engineer in Delhi and I happened to utilize the free time I had to read a lot of stuff... And what I finally found out is...
"EVERYTHING I READ IN MY SCHOOL DAYS IS ABSOLUTE BULL CRAP..."
The whole purpose of me starting this 'SERIES' (If u can call it one) is to tell some facts which would change this country as a whole...
History, as we all know, is divided into 3 parts viz. Ancient, Medieval and Modern...
There is a lot of information and lot many blogs available on the internet about the true history of Medieval and Modern India...
But little effort is made when it comes to Ancient Indian History...
Hence, my main focus is on the Ancient Indian History...
I'm basically compiling everything I read and writing it here...
I am going to highlight how Westerners screwed up the Indian History for their own selfish benefits...
I will just give a brief introduction about the topics I would be discussing in the later chapters...
I don't think anyone would really remember any of the dates and times...
But people do remember some landmarks in History... I would be talking mostly about the landmarks...
As far as everyone remembers, the landmarks in Ancient Indian History are as follows...
2600BC-1900BC - Harappan Civilization
1500BC - Aryan Invasion
1200BC - Rig Veda was written
483BC - Buddha was born
Around 300BC- Maurya dynasty: Chandragupta, Bindusara, Ashoka etc.
Around 300 AD - Gupta dynasty: Chandragupta, Samudragupta, Chandrgupta etc.
Around 800 AD - Shankaracharya
Around 1000 AD - Muslim invasions started... (That's out of my current scope)
I have question to all the people reading this note... If u can answer it...
"WHO WROTE THIS HISTORY?
WHO FIXED ALL THESE DATES?
WHO FIXED THE NAMES OF THE KINGS???
WHO CREATED THE ARYAN INVASION THEORY???"
99.999999% of Indians can't answer these questions...
I would be discussing these topics one after the other in my subsequent chapters...
Keep following me, if you're interested...
Don't worry... It won't be as boring as your school lessons... NOT THIS TIME...
Note:- One of the important books I read was 'Edi Charitra?' by MVR Shastri which was written in Telugu...
He is the editor of 'Andhrabhoomi' newspaper (which has a low circulation)...
90% of the stuff I would be writing here is from that book... I should say that I'm merely translating that book here...
Each chapter of that book used to come as an article in the Sunday Folio of 'Andhrabhoomi' Newspaper around 2002 for some 4-5 years...
I used to follow it back then, but lost track later on...
This book is a compilation of all the articles...
If you know Telugu, I would strongly recommend you to read the book...
It was translated into Kannada as 'Yavudu Charitre?' by Babu Krishnamuthi
