Open Thread – Brown Pundits

For those who experienced blackout last week just a brief reminder. It was a significant discovery on a global scale, having the similar format as recent Arjun&Anan discovery about Iliad and Mahabharata’s linkages. One day when these discoveries become mainstream, the BP archive will be a proof that they were made here. The core of this discovery was done by Chinese authors and an American sinolog but the whole credit for its articulation here goes to Mayuresh Madhav Kelkar.

In brief, Chinese authors confirmed that Aryans visited not only Hindustan than China and Tibet, too. According to these authors they founded two dynasties. One author answered the question: “According to what you have said, in the prehistoric period, is it true that Indo-Europeans came to the Delta of the Yellow River from the West?” Answer: “Yes. And they indelibly affected the civilization of the area.”

There is a whole PhD dissertation but in nutshell – Aryans brought horses, metallurgy, language, mythology to the delta of Yellow River and made strong influences on local population. It was very similar to everything that happened in Hindustan and SA.

Several months ago I wrote that one stream of Aryans went to China and founded a dynasty which name I did not know. Now, we have indication that there were probably two early dynasties. I have probably 1000 Serbian toponyms in China and Tibet which I will provide to these researchers. In this PhD were mentioned some clans which had horses and even organised betting on horse races which in my sources are of Serbian origin. There were also many wars during the 1000 years long history, many Serbs were killed, many later assimilated, other retreated to Siberia (originally: Sibir, what was derived from Serbian name).

This Chinese example can be and should be guidance for SA scholars how to conduct their own local research instead of being irrationally defensive and pushing head in the sand.

Empty Planet – of course the title is a hyperbole. The world is not going to run out of people because of people’s lack of interest in having kids. But the very fact that researchers are even entertaining this possibility is astounding.

“In roughly three decades, the global population will begin to decline,” they write. “Once that decline begins, it will never end.”

Mind boggling, to say the least.

“Not true. In pre-modern period, the Pancha Dravida Brahmins comprised those from 4 southern states as well as from Maharashtra and Gujarat. This is the closest you can get to Dravidian ethnicity. Some Iyer sub castes are named Dravidas. Pancha Dravida in contrast to Pancha Gouda.”

VijayVan, yes i know this. You can’t equate the modern mainstream idea of the term ‘Dravidian’ which basically means all ‘Dravidian speaking south indians’ with the historical term Pancha Dravida which relates exclusively to the Brahmins of southern India.

Dravida is basically the sankritised form of Tamilar. Probably only the South Indian Brahmins used the term Dravida commonly due to their command of Sanskrit.

It was never used as a self ethnonym by the majority of south indians.
