Re: Demise of Aryan Racial/Invasion Theory
Thank you for your brilliant analysis of the Aryan invasion theory. I
have been wondering about all this for a long time, and I had taken my
understanding of the history from the writings of the French scholar,
Alain Danielou. He wrote that Shivaism was indeed indigenous to India
with origins in the most distant antiquity, greatly predating the
arrival of the Aryans, and that it was incorporated into the Vedic
system which was brought to India by the Aryans. I am still confused,
though, about the historical relationship between Shiva, Rudra,
Murugan, and "Ahn," which Danielou gave as the name of a pre-Shiva
deity in a "now-forgotten language."
I believe that Shivaism is the most beautiful religion, and I believe
it is accurate and true. It explains everything in a way that no
other religion can. The world owes India a great debt of gratitude
for bringing this to us.
