Mohan:
I have a copy of Return of The Aryans by Gidvani. Makes good reading. A fiction based on perceived and documented history of India.
Vainglorious, supercilious, egocentric, Milecha historians wrote history of India in such a demeaning manner to satisfy their misplaced hunger to place themselves on a pedestal far above the Indian masses, not knowing that when their ancestors were swinging from branch to branch in their simian order of things, the Indians were far more advanced in prose, poetry and science than they were. The foreigners came, conquered and subjugated the peace-loving Indians, but got assimilated eventually and could not materially change the order of things in India. In one instance the Indians were praying to Lord Shiva during one of those muslim invasions, asking him for protective help. No help came and they and their temples were destroyed. The invaders could not kill all the Indians to make India a home away from home. There were too many Indians to kill.
But I must admit that there were some good, and decent colonial people who discovered India, translated our literature, dug our buried ruins and of course stole some of our treasures too. My salutations to them.
As to others,I say a milecha is a milecha however highbrowed and stiff upper lipped they pretended to be. FORGIVE AND FORGET. That is a Christian and Hindu ethic
