ANCIENT INDIA

 ANCIENT INDIA

was the Chera king Perunchotru Uthiyal Adhan that is sung in Puranannooru as the king who fed both the armies in the great Mahabaratha war.

It was common practice of poets to refer to ancestors of patrons.


Not the Pandyans. for the Pandyans were descendants of the Pandavas. as mentioned in PuraNaanooru poem cited above . 

It also speaks of the Cholas of those times. Kindly read the English part of the blog also with clear maps.



For a clear understanding, we should read about the history of Ancient India before the formation of the Magadha empire. ( pre-Buddhist).

 We must also read about the warring kingdoms of today's Iraq ( then known as Mesopotamia - the land between the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates). 

ACDas identifies the three kingdoms as Assyria ( North Iraq)- Cheras, Central Iraq ( Chaldea- Chola) and Sumeria ( Pandyans) in southern most Iraq.




What is more, there was also the Elamite civilization just across the border on the Persian side ( mentioned by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru). 


Nehruji also mentions the occurrence of 'oor' in Babylon such a common place name in Tamil country.even in Sngam literature centuries . Uraiyoor, OKKOOR Maasaathiyar


The rise of Persian kingdom, today's Iran, ended the feuding kingdoms of Iraq and many of the Iraq soldiery were recruited in the Persian army .

There was also a large influx of Iraq people into Sind and western India as Sind was part of Persian kingdom. It was around 700 BC. That was the time when there was great university in TAXILA ( purushpuram, Peshawar).Panini lived there. 700 BC


( After the Mesapotamian kingdoms were vanquished, according the Heimendorf, the three Tamil kings ( Chera, Chozha Pandyas) migrated to southern most areas of India as a safe place.


( Mathsyadesam and its adjoining janapadha Surasena desam ).



After the war, there was considerable chaos in the Gangetic plain.



Like the people of USA, Canada, Australia, Newzeland, and even South Africa, and Sicily, the English people feel a common ancestry.


Similarly, the southern most TAMIL kingdoms had blood relations with their compatriots in the Delhi area ( Indraprastham) and Kurukshethra.



It is significant that Kanyakumari and ThamravarNi areas were famed for Tamizh. ( Pothiya malai). You might have heard of Baratham Paadiya Perundhevanaar. and Aathankoott Aasaan ( thiruvithaabkodu -today's kanyakumari)



Bagavatham explicitly associates Thamizh with Mathsya Avathaaram

and another Pandyan king in Gajendra Moksham.

I can cite many more . but I leave it to you to explore .

--------------

A Tamil historian from Jaffna is insisting that the name Nebuchadnezzaar * ( an Assyrian King) that we come across in college history lessons on MESOPOTAMIA is nothing but Nedunchezhiyan but I would rather connect it with Neduncheralaathan. as Chera country is of Assyrian ancestry.

LOKAMANYA AND MARXISM

  LOKAMANYA AND MARXISM From the available evidence it seems safe to establish the proposition that the credit of introducing Marx and his doctrine of   class conftlict to India for the first time goes to Bal Gangadhar Tilak.  That Tilak had a genuine interest in socialist thought is evident from the kind of 'selections' he reproduced from foreign journals in the issues of the English weekly, The Mahratta, which he edited from its start in January 1881 , and also from the articles he intermittently wrote championing the cause of agricultural labourers and industrial workers in the Kesari from the time he took over its editorship from G.G. Agarkar in 1886 to his last days in 1920.  An article on nihilism' was reproduced by Tilak in The Mahratta of 17 April 1881 .This article, reproduced from the English journal Leisure Hour, noted that nihilism 'manifests itself as radicalism in politics, as communism in its social aspect, as theism in its religious tendencies'. ...

  INDUS,IRAQ and TAMILS ... RSR ...... ..... This is a long and disjointed post. The following points are stressed. 1. INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION  is dated from 3000 BC. thanks to the Archeologist John  Marshal . 2 Aryans were  cattle  growing tribes from  the shores of CASPIAN Sea Turkmenistan, uzbekistan region. Kurds, scattered in north iran, north iraq, north syria and eastern turkey. . 3 They spoke a language similar to Greek, Latin and Sanskrit and Persian (iran). Tamil is not derived from sanskrit Perhaps, kurdish people, who are now  fragmented into three  areas in Iran, Syria and Turkey are closest to Aryans.   4. Indus people were Lingam worshipers They were saivites .  They were idol worshipers.  They worshiped the Bull . Rishaba vaahana  .. . Aryans were not idol worshipers . Aryans did not have any priests. Aryans were pastoral people. Cow and horse, typical ranchers. They did not know agriculture ... Tamils are n...
