Comments on: The India outside India – I http://arachnid.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/the-india-outside-india-i/ This is where I share all my intellectual cerebrations. These thoughts are, more often than not, about films, literature, art, aesthetics, music and - well - some shades of other pieces of my mind.

The Vedic Texts are the oldest, older than any other scriptures in the world. Everything stems from the Vedas. The proof is in the Holy Book. The Aryans are only mentioned in the Ancient Indian Holy Book, which originated in Ancient India, which extended beyond what is India now, therefore Aryans born in India migrated to other parts of the world and took part of their heritage with them, hence the similarities. The birth of the Gods in the Vedas was in India and the areas mentioned in it were present before the Avesta, therefore proves taht everything originated India, the Sanskrit language is the oldest language in the world and thats where everything stems from.

Name the documents, give the references, and I shall be happy to correct myself if your claim is true. My claims are supported by <i>ManuSamhita</i> and several other texts, and every reference is mentioned in detail. I request you to do the same. Moreover, I <b>have</b> mentioned that one school of thought considers the Puranic war between the kshatriya clans are the same as the legends of Turan wars mentioned in Ferdowsi's <i>Shahname</i>. Please see for yourself the geographical location of Turan. I am afraid to say, “Parsi historical documents” is not proof enough.

Udvadia Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:54:52 +0000 http://arachnid.wordpress.com/?p=136#comment-778 According to Parsi hostorical documents, the Aryans were nomads that descended from the North, and somewhere around 4000 B.C. they split: one branch going to Persia and the other to India. The Persian branch later became Zarathushtis (followers of Prophet Zarathushtra). This common heritage accounts for the similarity of Avesta and Sanskrit. It also accounts for some commonality in customs. However it is incorrect to say that Parsis (anglicised to Persians) or Zarathushtis were from India and travelled later to Persia. Both Sanskrit and Avesta are derived from an ancient (some say Indo-European) lanauage the parent of them both. Avesta does not derive from Sanskrit but from an older common language.
