State of the Art in the “Aryan” Debate | Dr. Koenraad Elst |

[@decem_sagittae]

I consider Dr Elst as the most important living scholar.

[@vasukinagabhushan]

None of Sanskrit stories speak of them migrating to India from somewhere else.

[@TheVeganVicar]

Have you noticed any BLATANTLY obvious differences between the lighter-skinned Bharatiyans of north-west Bharata and the very dark-skinned Tamils? If that is NOT due to the migration of Aryans into north-west Bharata, then what is the explanation?

​@@TheVeganVicar Genetics has a whole different idea. The core R Haplogroup is common throughout India, north or south. Linguistics cannot be the 'Only' evidence. The proponents of Aryan Migration from North West always reject the Genetics. Why?

[@tvwalamaulana1231]

Dr Elst is amazing

[@ravikulkarni1690]

Dr Koenraad elst is pro hindu true indologist. That's why BJP didn't give him "indologist of year" Medal. While Mr Rajeev Malhotra got same. Rajeev Malhotra fits into BJP pro minority propaganda machinery. Rajeev Malhotra always say/write books claiming anti hindu/anti india/anti democratic institutions (within India and outside india)are funded by Indian government themselves and by super rich indians(pro bjp) .

[@TheVeganVicar]

The Bharatiya government is a violent, CRIMINAL organization.

Always loved to watch and hear the scholarly presentation by Dr. Elst. Both Elst and Srikant Alagiri are the best for sure to support OIT. 👏👏👍👌🙏

An observation..Ashwamedha yagya is mentioned in the Ramayan..Luv Kush captured the horse..

[@vivekkapoor668]

Love Dr Koenraad's curiosity driven open minded honesty - and the attendant moral fibre to show truth to power - whoever that powerful may be. This has become a rare breed in the West where academics travel in herds that are money and politics driven.

Read Likomanya Tilok THE ARCTIC ORIGINS OF THE VEDA. He makes a brilliant case for migration from the polar region which in former times matches the environmental conditions mentioned in the Vedas. Edgar Caycee said Ram came from the North 20,000 years ago.

[@Iiieevvueúiie]

IVC relocated in 1900bc. The Aryan culture appears in 100AD.reading 'Caste no bar '.

[@mikedesi5513]

Elst talks round about Vedic Brahmins we’re fish eating living around saraswati river and migrated to bengal and west coast after saraswati dried up the question is related issue of harappan civilization and Vedic civilization that needs to be resolved if rig Veda was composed around 3000 bc and harappan civilization was peak at same time

Bhramin is not race, shatriya also wrote ours mantras

Pl Google 'caste no bar' by anupriya and vageesh narasimhan. Studies show that the IVC migrated/relocated, east and south of India.

King Parikshit gave four places to kaliyug to live. After some time kaliyug got exhausted and came to king asking for more places, king thought kaliyug demands would be unending, so king had to gave him gold(wealth) to live on. Gold(wealth) is always required for kaliyug to continue its living in above mentioned four places. What a enlightening story

[@AJAYSINGH-ns1vv]

🙏🙏🙏

[@brucereed8616]

Some things are obvious. Why do Indians call use the word Adivasi which means first or original inhabitants. If they were there first that means the northern Indians came from outside India. Aryas and Dasyus most probably refers to the battles between the Invading Aryans or Vedic culture and the older Tamil based culture that one time extended further north. Thus the smoldering resentment of the Tamils towards the Sanskrit speaking Brahmin culture. All this much older than proposed. The Vedas were chanted orally and written down much later.

God bless, Dr. Elst, a true scholar and a gentleman. Unlike his detractors who shout Hindutva, he talks facts and logic.

[@aryaman05]

He lost it towards the end.... and I paraphrase; "Invaders gave locals their language, and picked up their vedas" ??! But, Sanskrit is Deva-Bhasha. So some invading alien tribe speaks Deva-Bhasha, but has no knowledge of Vedas ??

[@zzzzz653]

Alright. Let me address your concerns on the ancient DNA research. What is it that you want to know ?

[@LVSJT]

@@zzzzz653 I didn't ask a question, nor do I have much confusion about the recent DNA research. A large migration of steppe people into India in the second millennium b.c. was almost a certainty before Reich's team went to work. Now it's beyond any doubt The only people in these discussions who are unaware of that fact are Hindus, who'd prefer not to look at what they don't want to see

[@zzzzz653]

@@LVSJT assuming there was a large migration of steppe people into India (by no means certain since we still don’t have Bronze Age aDNA from India proper, except a solitary low coverage Rakhigarhi female), how does that prove Aryan migration ? You have any proof that people on the steppe were speaking Indo-European in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BCE ? Any hard solid proofs ? And why is there no archaeological trail from steppe to India ?

[@LVSJT]

@@zzzzz653 This is like taking to Christian fundamentalists who want to think the earth is flat. The debate is only continuing among Hindus who'd prefer to believe in their fairy tales. And the DNA of those steppe migrants are highly overrepresented among the upper castes What's at work here is something called cognitive bias; believing what confirms our preexisting ideas without much scepticism, and discarding that which goes against our preexisting beliefs without much consideration. These panel discussions are so absurd. The most frustrating thing about them, is that the evidence for an Indo European migration or invasion is never stated completely or accurately. Notice how debates never happen. Opposing points of view aren't welcome, because those arguing for an out of India theory would look ridiculous

[@williamliamsmith4923]

50:52 Dear Sir, this is an excellent and balanced survey of the state of Rigvedic chronology. However I must say Dhruva as a star is not found in Rigveda and early Brahmanas. In older text dhruva means stationary or something/someone is forever. For example Prithvi is Dhruva (stationary) Or Vishnu is Dhruva (forever). Dhruva as a star is something we see in Grihyasutras where husband is to show Dhruva and then Arundhati to his newlywed wife. The earliest mention of polestar in modern western world was by Shakespeare about 500 years before 2100 when it will be closest to celestial pole. Thus first Gruhyasutra can be dated +/- 500 years from 2830 BCE. Considering Shatapatha Brahmana doesn’t mention Dhruva as star but can be dated to 2900 BCE because Krittika rose in dead east throughout the year, extant Gruhyasutras should be dated after 2900 BCE. In summary- there is no Dhruva Star in Rigveda. If I missed it please specify a hymn and verse where it can be found in any of mantra portion of all Vedas.

[@vasukinagabhushan]

Rigveda does mention Dhruva star. You have misunderstood. Here are a few examples of verses from the Rigveda that mention the Dhruva star: Rigveda 1.24.9: "Let us go with praise to the palace of Dhruva, where the Seven Rishis go, where the shining ones go." Rigveda 1.164.3: "The star which shines in the front of the heavens, that which is radiant and has many rays, the Pole Star around which all other stars revolve, to that we offer our oblations." Rigveda 5.40.5: "May we be guided by the Pole Star, the ruler of the sky, the immortal, the pure and the great, who shines in the highest heaven."
