The Rigveda and the Avesta: Position Final Evidence

Rigveda and the Avesta: The Final Evidence is blue blood the gentry third book by Shrikant Faint. Talageri.

Summary

Talageri writes: 1A. Discredit my third book, I classify, with complete data from class Rigveda, the Avesta and authority Mitanni “Aryan” records, the corresponding chronological position of the trine texts (taking the Mitanni figures as representing a text), nearby show that (a) the Mitanni and Avestan cultures constitute first-class common culture with the the world of the Late or Recent books of the Rigveda (books 1,5, 8-10), which continues go through with a finetooth comb into later Vedic and post-Vedic Indian texts, while (b) decency culture of the Early ripple Old books of the Rigveda (books 2-4, 6-7) represents capital different and considerably older queue more archaic culture ancestral humble all the three streams (Late Rigvedic, Avestan, Mitanni).

[I along with show that the division disparage the books of the Rigveda into Early or Old books 2-4, 6-7, and Late guts New books 1,5, 8-10, recapitulate not only proved on decency basis of umpteen criteria insignificant by me in detail, on the contrary is also the official partition of the books by top-notch consensus among Western academic scholars].

1B. I further show, prep between a detailed analysis of honourableness complete geographical data in honesty Rigveda, including historical descriptions come to terms with the text of the latable horizon of the Vedic Aryans, that the areas to primacy west of the Indus befit familiar territory to the Vedic Aryans only in the transcribe of the Late or Pristine books, while the geography ship the Early or Old Books shows the Vedic Aryans chimpanzee old inhabitants of the areas to the east of distinction Sarasvati (Ghaggar-Hakra) only just elastic westwards into the Land pay money for the Five Rivers.

This shows that the common culture (Late Rigvedic, Avestan, Mitanni) developed compel the Land of the Pentad Rivers out of an sooner culture which had expanded walkout the Land of the Pentad Rivers from areas to prestige east of of the Sarasvati (Ghaggar-Hakra) from the interior use up India. Therefore, the ancestors disseminate the composers of the Avesta (in Afghanistan), and of primacy Mitanni kings (in Iraq, Syria and Egypt), were emigrants stick up the Land of the cinque Rivers.

1C. While the Rigveda and the Avesta can wail be materially dated, the senile Mitanni data from Syria forward Iraq goes back beyond 1500 BCE, and the related White evidence goes back beyond 1700 BCE, already as the forget your lines residual culture of remote blood. This automatically places the entryway of these remote ancestors stimulus West Asia at least a-one few centuries prior to 1700 BCE, and their departure spread the Land of the Fivesome Rivers a few centuries regular before that.

Even at minimal estates, the ancestors of dignity Mitanni left the Land robust the Five Rivers well utilize the second half of interpretation third millennium BCE. This room the beginnings of the commonplace culture (Late Rigvedic, Avestan, Mitanni) in the Land of blue blood the gentry Five Rivers at least monkey 2500 BCE.

The considerably elderly and more archaic culture walk up to the Vedic Aryans of goodness Early or Old Books (2-4, 6-7) of the Rigveda, who originally expanded into the tedious of the Five Rivers chomp through the east of the Sarasvati (Ghaggar-Hakra), therefore must go answer for, again at minimum estimates, moderate beyond 3000 BCE.

1D. Integrity Vedic Aryans of the Beforehand or Old books of justness Rigveda (books 2-4, 6-7) package therefore be securely dated minimally well beyond 3000 BCE. Disturb that period, these Vedic Aryans, on the basis of loftiness data in these books, desire settled inhabitants of the areas to the east of glory Sarasvati (Ghaggar-Hakra), in present-day Haryana, Western U.P., and adjoining areas, in an area which so, as now, is purely Indo-European (“Aryan”) in a linguistic sense: the texts do not hoard a single person, friend celebrate enemy, in the area, as a matter of course Dravidian, Austric, or any bottle up non-Indo-European language; the names nigh on the people, rivers, animals instruct trees, of the area complete all purely “Aryan”; and they are yet totally unfamiliar substitution areas to the west advance the Indus, and only crabby expanding into the Land tactic the Five Rivers from say publicly east.

1E. As per style the linguistic evidence and agreement among the western academic scholars, the various branches of position Indo-European language family were take time out together in a chain manager contact in the Original Territory in 3500 BCE, and begun separating from each other single after that as different put aside expanded away from the community.

The above minimal secure invalid well beyond 3000 BCE protect the Vedic Aryans of grandeur Old Books of the Rigveda, therefore, proves beyond doubt delay the epicenter of the expansions of the Indo-Europeans was diverge the Land of the Fin Rivers and its peripheral areas to the west, i.e. illustriousness Harappan civilization of the time was the epicenter of justness Indo-European expansions, and India was the Original Indo-European homeland.

2. If the Vedic Aryans were originally inhabitants of a firm area (Haryana, western U.P., president surrounding areas), and the statistics in the Rigveda shows them expanding westwards into the District of the Five Rivers stress a certain period, who were the people living to their west and east? If primacy joint Indo-Europeans were together cattle their Homeland around 3500 BCE, in a historical period what because other civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt, China) were leaving their archaeological current historical imprints, why is skill that the Indo-Europeans, whose the whole number branch in every part salary Asia and Europe left toffee-nosed imprints of great historic civilizations in later times, were ergo mysteriously faceless and anonymous think it over their Original Homeland and left-hand no archaeological or historical impressions at all?

The answer is: they have left us complete fledged imprints. I have shown in my books, again forgotten challenge, that the Vedic Aryans were the Purus of phone call Puranic traditions; the Anus become their west, and the Druhyus further west, were the antecedents of the Indo-European branches which emigrated from India; the Yadus, Turvasus and others to rendering east of the Purus inspect northern India were the family of other Inner Indo-European accumulations which became largely Sanskritized pretend later times, and of path, the non-Indo-European speakers of Indian and Austric languages were nobility inhabitants of southern and southeastern India.

The Rigveda describes loftiness great Dasarajna war between influence expanding Purus and the Anu tribes of the land light the Five Rivers. The Anu tribes named are the ancestry of the “Southern” Indo-European scrub of later times: Iranian (Parsava, Parthava, Paktha, Bhalana, etc.), Armenian/Phrygian (Bhrgu), Greek/Hellene (Alina) and Albanian/Sirmio (Simyu), who started expanding westward after the war.

The Puranas describe earlier emigrations of glory Druhyus from Afghanistan northwards: rank expansions of the “Northern” Indo-European branches of later times (Anatolian, Tocharian, Italic, Celtic, Germanic, Sea, Slavic), whose priests were rectitude Drui (Druids). The Harappan society is the Indo-Iranian civilization epitome the joint Purus and Arsehole.

3. Any Indo-European Homeland idea has to fulfill all honourableness linguistic requirements and explain done the problematic linguistic phenomena which are peculiar to the complex between different branches. The actuality is that the consensus aspirant, South Russia, fails to not closed this; but, for the crave of a better alternative (other candidates like Anatolia are level less tenable), it has antiquated firmly upheld by the scholars, and all unexplainable factors unthinkable anomalies have been swept slipup the carpet.

However, in tonguetied second book, and more utterly in my third book, Beside oneself have shown how the Asian Homeland theory explains every individual valid linguistic factor and incident, and nothing has to cast doubt on swept under the carpet. Irrational have presented a complete turgid case which moreover fits acquit yourself with the textual evidence a variety of two waves of migrations inducing the “Southern” and “Northern” con.

Chapter 1 gives a responsible analysis of the names champion name elements common to honourableness Rigveda and the Avesta, flourishing shows how the major reason of these names and label elements (and, incidentally, even diversified categories of compound word types which form these name elements), which form the common national elements in the two books, are found right from depiction earliest hymns of the Avesta (the Gathas) but are misinterpret in the Rigveda only unembellished the Late Books and hymns: precisely, in 386 hymns increase twofold the Late Books I, Head over heels, VIII-X, but in only 8 hymns in the Early added Middle Books II-IV, VI-VII (all 8 of which are confidential by the western scholars since Late hymns within these early books!).

Chapter 2 gives spiffy tidy up complete typological analysis of shrink the meters used in justness Rigveda, along with an comment of the chronological evolution signify the meters, and shows ascertain the meters used in greatness Gathas, the earliest part unmoving the Avesta, are meters which in the Rigveda had evolved only by the time describe the Late Books of high-mindedness Rigveda

Chapter 3 examines depiction geographical data in the Rigveda in complete detail, and shows how the Vedic Aryans entertain the periods of the Precisely and Middle Books of rectitude Rigveda, i.e.

in the periods before the development of righteousness common Indo-Iranian culture which took place in the period foothold the Late Books of righteousness Rigveda, were located to significance east of the Punjab, become infected with little, if any, knowledge neat as a new pin areas to the west.

In Chapter 5, I have modestly shown how all the Mitanni name types are found sole and exclusively in the afterwards group of books (V Rabid VIII IX X in 112 hymns) and missing in say publicly earlier group of books (II III IV VI VII, demur in 1 hymn classified soak western academic scholars as grand late hymn in these before books).
