Ancient Indian History « Ashokmehta's Blog By ashokmehta
However, even as early as 1926, enlightened minds like Sri Aurobindo challenged the European view of the Vedas. He said ‘thus there emerged in my mind a Veda which was throughout the Scripture of a great and antique religion already equipped with a profound psychological discipline, -a Scripture not confused in thought or primitive in its substance, not a medley of heterogeneous or barbarous elements, but one, complete and self-conscious in its purpose and in its purport, veiled indeed by the cover, sometimes thick, sometimes transparent, of another and material sense, but never losing sight even for a single moment of its high spiritual aim and tendency’
Sri Aurobindo, on the basis of his prolonged observation of the physical characteristics of the Dravidians, refuted the theory that the Dravidians of the Aryans were two different peoples.
But then though Sri Aurobindo was one of the greatest of sages, he was not a historian. However, in the last two or three decades a new breed of historians, both Indian and foreign, has sprung up and systematically examined the old theories of ancient Indian history and discarded them. They have based their findings on scientific and empirical evidence. Persons like Dr. N.S. Rajaram, S R Rao, David Frawley, Konard Elts and François Gautier and many more have successfully challenged the theories of Max Mueller and his followers both Indian and foreign, like Romilla Thapar and many others. This blog is based on findings of persons like Dr. NS Rajaram and the others mentioned above and on the findings of bodies like ISRO and the genetic evidence discovered during the last decade or so.
I first take up the Aryan invasion theory
and its timing. Broadly, the theory is that the Aryans were in all probability Caucasians who invaded India Michel Danino, Danino, Nahar (Paperback - Mar 1, 1996), Eclipse of the Hindu Nation: Gandhi and His Freedom Struggle

(title unknown) from For The Turnstiles by DGA
In case I was unclear about it before, I wrote this item precisely for the eyes of my friends who care deeply about Aurobindo and Aurobindian philosophy. The question I pose there has interesting consequences vis a vis political thought in this context if considered in earnest.
So I ask: how might the claims made about intellectual history on behalf of World-Spiritual history in Aurobindo Ghose, Ken Wilber, or Richard Tarnas among others be adjusted if they accounted more properly for these flowerings in the garden as well as the European and Hindu traditions?
