NAGAS: THE ANCIENT WARRIORS & RULERS OF INDIA

A HISTORY OF RACISM AND THE RETALIATION AGAINST IT VOLUME ONE: CHAPTER
ONE: THE ANCIENT BEGINNINGS OF RACISM

The earliest form of racism may have been introduced and practiced by
wandering barbarians from Erasia, who spoke a variety of languages
before the Black Aryan (Indo-Aryan) languages of India was taught to
them. These barbarians were Caucasian for the most part, although
there were Black chiefs among them, according to Chancellor Williams
in his book, The Destruction of Black Civilization (Third World Press,
Chicago; 1976).

Later, after the influence of the Black Davidians, Black Tartars and
other Black Negroid and Australoid types who lived in Asia in ancient
times (and who still do today), the barbarians learned various skills,
including how to hitch horses to carriages and how to ride horses for
purposes of war. These techniques learned from the Blacks of Asia was
used to invade the ancient Black civilizations of the region. India
was one of the first to be infiltrated, followed by other Black
civilizations to the south, including Mesopotamia and Egypt. Between
2000 B.C. to about 1500 B.C., waves of the northern barbarians invaded
India. All did not enter ancient India as an invasion force, since
they were not militarily strong enough to defeat the mighty Black
armies of the ancient Ethiopic Dravidian Indians. In fact, many
barbarians came in trickles, looking for food and lodging in what was
one of the greatest Black civilizations earth, and one of the most
ancient.

Long before the infiltrations of the aliens, India’s wealth, culture,
architecture, civilization was legendary. The ancient Indians belonged
to the Kushsite African race, still numerious in a wide area of the
globe, spread from India in the East to Senegal in the West. Of this
group of ancient Blacks, the Naga People were and still are the
largest subgroup of the Kushitic speaking branch of the Black African
race. In fact, the Nagas still retain the title “Naga” in various
forms throughout Africa and South Asia even today. There are many
examples of the term “Naga” still being used to describe various
groups in Africa and Asia, who are all of the Kushitic branch of the
Black African race. For example, the Blacks of West Africa were called
“Nugarmar-ta.” “Nagomina” is the name of a tribe from West Africa, who
were part of a series of great civilizations which existed in the
region before 1000 B.C. The “Naga,” are another group of people
related to India’s Naga people, who live in various parts of East
Africa and in the nation of Sudan, the original homeland of all Naga
and other Kushitic Black peoples. The word “Nahas” is another word for
“Nubian.” Names of tribes and nationalities such as “Nuer,” “Nuba,”
“Nubian” are all related to the Naga tribes of India and South Asia.
Long before the barbarians infiltrated India, the Blacks (Naga,
Negrito, Negroid and all those belonging to the Negroid-Australoid
Black race, as well as pure Negritic racial types ruled India as well
as a substantial portion of Asia from Arabia to China and the South
Pacific, as well as the Indian Ocean region. In India, the Blacks
built one of the world’s most magnificient and glorious civilizations.
This civilization had been developing since about 6000 years before
Christ. The magnificent cities of Harrappa and Mohenjo-daro are two of
the many cities built by these Blacks. These cities cover large
regions of Northern India and Pakistan. Wayne Chandler explains in the
book, African Presence in Early Asia (edt. by Ivan Van Sertima,
Transaction Publishers, Newbruinswick, NJ; 1985, p. 83), “The Jewel in
the Lotus: The Ethiopian Presence in the Indus Valley Civilization,”
“Mohenjo-daro and Harrappa, the greatest examples of Harrappan
architecture were built between 3000 B.C. and 2500 B.C.; these
masterpieces of Harappan city planning were the culmination of towns
and villages which date from 6000 B.C. to 7000 B.C.”

India’s ancient original Blacks (and much of today’s Black
Indians…Nagas…Black Dalits) belong to the same Negritic race of
today. Even India’s Pygmy types such as the Andaman Islanders are
related to the Pygmies of Africa. The connections between the Blacks
of India and those of Africa are so close, that even the names given
to the various Naga peoples of India and those of Africa are close in
sound. For example groups in parts of Sudan are called Nagas, whereas
in India, Black groups with racial features similar to the people of
Sudan are also called Nagas. The languages spoken by the Nagas and
other Dravidians such as Telegu, Malayalam, Kanada and others are
related to the Kushite languages of East Africa, such as Gala and
those spoken by the Nilotic peoples. Moreover, it seems that these
languages spread far beyond India into Cambodia and South China in the
East to West Africa in the West. Kushitic speaking people migrated in
both directions.

THE EARLY BEGINNINGS OF CASTE, COLOR CONSCIOUSNESS AND RACISM IN
ANCIENT INDIA

Racism against India’s ancient Blacks who founded the Indus Valley
civilizations over four thousand years Before Christ, began after
barbarians from Eurasia infiltrated the Indus Valley. These barbarians
came from the northern parts of Eurasia and from the northwest and
spread into northern India, some migrated to parts of Europe and the
Middle East, where they encountered more Black civilizations. The
barbarians were not militarily stronger than the advanced and
militarily superior Blacks of the Indus Valley. In fact, according to
Drucilla Dungee Houston, in her book Wonderful Ethiopians of the
Ancient Cushite Empire (1985, p. 221) “An ancient treatise tells of
the early Cushite element, that they adorned their dead with gifts,
with rainment, and ornaments, imagining thereby that they shall attain
the world to come. Their ornaments were bronze copper and gold. One
non-Aryan chief described this race (the Blacks) as of fearful
swiftness, unyielding in battle, in color like a dark blue cloud. This
old type is represented today by the compact masses of the south.
These Dravidians constitute forty-six millions (during the 1920’s;
today however they are over 800 million Black Dalits, Tribals,
Backward castes and Scheduled Castes). They represent the unmixed
Cushite Type. All the rest of the blood of India is heavily mixed with
this strain.” (D.D. Houston, Black Classics Press, Baltimore MD) When
the barbarians infiltrated into India, they may not have invaded in a
massive sweep, for surely, they would have been wiped out by the
invincible Naga armies who were well equipped, strong and fierce as
mentioned above. Yet, it seems that from the beginning, their
objective was to take over the glorious lans of the Nagas and other
Blacks of India. According to Al Bash-am, the Blacks of India were
described by the invaders as “dark and illfavored, bull lipped, snub
nosed woshippers of the phallus….they are rich in cattle and dwell
in fortified places called pur.” It is interesting to note that the
dwelling place of the Pharaoh was also called “Pur-o” from which them
name “pharaoh” originated. In his booklet, “Nagaloka: The Fractured
and Forgotten Glory of the Bahujan Indians,” by M. Gopinath (April 14,
1998), he explains that the Aryans arrived in India about 2000 years
B.C. In fact, their descendants still exist in India among the Bramins
and Banias (Banias are among the Blackest of Blacks). These vagrant
migrants (the ancient invaders) arrived in ancient India (Naga-
mandla) looking for food and shelter. The Naga kings allowed them to
settle in the Naga kingdoms, gave them food and allowed them to use
the land for their wellbeing. Soon afterwards however, the Blacks were
repaid by the barbarians with violence and the eventual takeover of
their lands. Gopinath states clearly in the book, Nagaloka (April,
1998), that in Nagamandla, the Aryan aliens felt insecure, and feared
that their positions would be lowered even more than they had been.
They began to devide and cause strife and discord among the Naga
tribes, in order to gain a dominant foothold (sounds farmiliar?).
Their tricks brought about enmity between the various Naga kingdoms (
people of West Africa, Sudan, and other parts of the world who
continue to kill each other over the religious beliefs of others
should take note). Gopinath’s point that the aliens felt “insecure in
their positions,” clearly underscores the major point of this book,
which is, those who claim to be “superior,” may actually feel inferior
and therefore, they have devised racist and evil means to oppress
others in order to keep themselves at the top. Gopinath states that
many of these raids were led by these Aryan infiltrators, who helped
destroy great cities such as Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. The result was
the weakening of the Naga kings. Soon their kingdoms fell under the
control of the barbarians. The caste system was introduced to further
devide and controle the Black Naga people, while the Aryans
established themselves at the very top, with full control over all the
rest of the Naga people. In fact, the Aryans called themselves,
“Bhoodevatas,” or “Gods of the Earth,” Gopinath explains, (Nagaloka,
The fractured History and Forgotten Glory of the Bahujan Indians,
compiled by M. Gopinath, Dalit Sahitya Sanghatane, Bangalore, India)

THE NAGA’S FIGHT AGAINST THE RACIST “VARNA” COLOR RACISM OF INDIA

A large majority of the Naga People refused to be dragged into the
evil, racist ‘varna’ or color and caste apartheid introduced by the
barbarians. These Nagas fought the system and were classified as
outcastes, unapproachables, untouchables and unseeables. The color of
skin of the Naga people being the glorious black complexion and a
devine blessing by the sun, which they considered an honor, was
considered repugnant to the albino colored invaders. Thus, to touch a
person classified as “untouchable” was considered repugnant by the
albino colored invaders. The name “untouchable” also meant that the
original Black Nagas were outside of the caste system and were (and
still are) its greatest opponents and enemies. The barbarians who
invaded India and introduced the “varna” or color and caste system
which devided and graded the various Naga tribes and other Indians
into various levels of power, had poluted some of the pure black Naga
people, creating various strata of color ranging from fair to black
skinned. In fact, their system was the world’s very first system of
apartheid, Jim Crow and color racism. V.T. Rajshekar lists the levels
of the racist caste system in his book, Dalit: The Back Untouchables
of India (Clarity Press, Atlanta; 1987, p. 56) as: “The Bramin, 5
percent of Hindus; priestly caste The Kshatriya; 4 percent of Hindus;
warrior caste The Vaishya; 2 percent of Hindus; merchant caste The
Shudra; 45 percent of Hindus; lowest caste (street sweepers) India’s
Black Dalits or Untouchables are outside of the caste system. They are
the descendants of the original Black Naga and other Black tribes of
Black African roots who were the first people on earth and who spread
throughout the entire world in prehistoric times. As already
mentioned, these are the Blacks who built Harappa and Mohenjo-daro,
two of the major cities and urban complexes of the Indus Valley
Civilizations, where many beartiful cities were built by the Nagas and
other Blacks.

According to Gopinath (April 14, 1998, pp. 9, 10), the barbarians
introduced a disgraceful civilization, where drinking, free sex,
gambling and other evil vices were practiced among them. Many rites of
worship to invoke their gods were some of these functions. In due
time, these practices began to influence others. (4) Gopinath states
that the Nagas were pushed to “poverty, ignorance, hunger and
unemployment.” (p. 12). Due to these calamities, “robbery, looting,
murder and prostitution which were unknown to the Nagamandala so far
took birth. Drought, deforestation, crop failure, and such other
natural imbalances started to surface. Farmers and businessmen were
forced to pay more taxes to the government. Enraged by this unethical
debauchery, the unbeaten Nagarajas waged wars against them. They
attacked the yagas and yajans of the Aryan rulers. But these Nagas
were so much demoralized and disunited that they could not launch an
organized battle under one leadership against the Aryans. Making use
of this failure on the part of the Nagas the Aryan rulers had managed
to picture the rebellious Rakshasas, Asauras and Dhanavas as
evil-minded “demons” and all those Aryan murders of rebel Nagarajas
were hailed as incarnations of (avatharas of their god.” (Nagaloka:
The Fractured History and Forgotten Glory of the Bahujan Indians; M.
Gopinath; Dalit Sahitya Sanghatane, Bangalore, India). (5) The issues
discussed by M. Gopinath brings to mind the common tricks used by the
invaders to gain a foothold in India and to establish their racist
devide and conquer caste system. These techniques are still being used
today in all parts of the world where the descendants of these
barbarians entered or gained control and domination over the past five
hundred years.

In most cases, however, the victims, who have been the original Black
races of planet earth have refused to unite in order to eliminate all
forms of oppression once and for all. Black against Black divisions
designed to keep weakness and fragmentation alive and to promote
destruction from outside forces continue to exist. In some cases these
divisions continue to exist even after the original perpetrator has
left the scene. In nations such as West and Eastern Africa, alien
religions introduced by the enemies of Africans, have worked well in
implementing the invaders’ “devide and conquer,” schemes. In many
cases, Africans have allowed such religious concepts to be blindly
followed by their people without examining the consequences on the
original African culture and system of beliefs, which are more
adaptable to the African way of thinking. For example, the idea of
worshipping another human as a devine, supreme being is unacceptable
to many Africans. Glory must be given to those African ancestors who
refused to join the evil schemes of the conquerors, disguised as
religious enlightenment and spiritual self-fulfillment. Glory must be
given to those who fought against being forcibly converted and
rejected beliefs which placed them in stratified, divided classes and
castes. Many fled into inaccessable areas such as the mountains and
forests in order to maintain their ancient way of live and reject the
beliefs and tricks of the invaders. Those who remained near or among
the barbarian invaders are today the most oppressed people on earth
today.

V.T. Rajshekar explains in his essay, “The Black Untouchables of
India,” African Presence in Early Asia, edt. by Ivan Van Sertima,
(1993, p. 237), that the racist caste system is explained in the Rig
Vedas. (6) On the other hand, according to Drucilla Dunjee Houston,
the Vedas were originally Black Kushite literary works stolen and
corrupted by the invaders, who added racist ideas to them. She
explains in Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Kushite Empire:

“5000 years ago we have shown there was no branch of the Aryan race
that could have produced the Rig Veda. 5000 years ago, no Japhethic
nation possessed blacksmiths, chariots, and the civilization the Rig
Veda reveals.” (7)

According to Houston, the Kushites lived in the region of Hindu-Kush
and the plains of India. They took Dravidian wives, she states, since
they were probably of the same Black Kushite stock. Between 3000 to
4500 B.C., the Kushite father was represened as a priest of the family
who conducted religious rites. The burning of widows was not practiced
and women were held at high positions. Houston states that according
to the Rig-Vedas, the ancient Kushites of India were blacksmiths,
goldsmiths, coppersmiths, carpenters and husbandmen who practiced
agriculture. Houston states (1985, p.218), “They fought from chariots
as did all the Cushite nations. They settled down as husbandmen to
till the fields. Unlike the modern Hindu they ate beef. They adored
gods identical with those of Egypt, Chaldea and Ethiopia. Who were
these people who 4500 B.C. possessed towns and built ships? Semites
and Turanians had no such arts.” (D.D. Houston, Wonderful Ethiopians
of the Ancient Cushite Empire, Black Classics Press, Baltimore, MD.:
1985, p. 218) (8)

According to Houston, by the time the GrecoBactrian and Sythians
entered India around 327- 544 A.D., the fairest districts (where the
descendants of the fairskinned Aryans lived) in the northern parts of
India were still owned by the Kushites. She points out that ruins
built by the Kushites cn be found throughout Oudh and the northwestern
provinces, where they reigned from the fifth to the eleventh centuries
A.D. She underscores this important fact :

“Some superficial interpretations of the Vedas attempt to make out the
Dravidian Kushites as disturbers of sacrifices, lawless without gods,
and without rites. This would not describe the Cushites anywhere in
the world. To those who read the Rig-Veda intelligently and without
the confusing glasses of prejudice, these mutilated and interpolated
writings are but a description of the familiar traits and customs of
Cushite Ethiopians. The Brahmins were probably a much later and
intermixed branch of the inhabitants of Hindu-Kush. That they were
intermixed we can tell by their cruelty. Full blooded Cushites were
gentle. The fact thatthe Brahmins altered the Sanskrit writings to
such great extent is proof itself that they were not the original
authors of these works. They took over and appropriated much from
Buddhism that would appeal to the masses when they found it otherwise
impossible for them to sit in the saddle of the priesthood.” (p. 221)
(9)

Houston states that Brahminism (from the God Brahma, the first person
in the trinity), “claims to be founded upon the Vedas, the sacred
books of India, taken over by the Brahmins. They were not the creators
of the writings, although today they are the custodians, interpretors
and priests. They only attained this place after a bloody struggle
with the native races. Upon the suppression of Buddhism, a line of
apostles of Brahminism appeared, with a philosophy built upon the
peculiar mysic, ascetic, teachings of Buddha. A mass of Hindu legends
sprang up around them.” (p. 246) (10)

Houston continues:

“The Brahmins attempted to incorporate the pure worship of Buddha into
their religion by making him an incarnatin of Vishnu. As time went on
Brahmins added to and corrupted the Vedas to confirm their excessive
pretentions. Brahminism is full of elements foreign to the Aryas. It
worships gods that the did not bring to India and the traditions are
borrowed from the darker race.” (p.246) Houston emphasized the
activities of the people who brought Brahminism upon the Indian
Cushites. They punished theft by cutting of hands and feet. One who
defamed the Brahmins or the caste spirit they sought to force upon the
people had their tongue torn out, red hot irons thrust into their
mouth, or the lips cut off. (Antiquities of India, Barnett, p. 116,
122). Under their law, the husband could whip or kill his wife and
confiscate her property.”

Houston goes on further to explain that many of India’s ancient books
were of Black Kushite origins, however the religious writings were
corrupted by the invaders(or infiltrators, since they most likely they
did not invade India but took advantage of weaknesses and calamities
in order to infiltrate and occupy). For example, she quotes Dr.
Stvenson who points out that the Brahmins’ religion could not supplant
Buddhism completely, however many of the historical books were
“destroyed, revised and interpolated.” These changes brought about two
forms of the Veda writings, one pure and devotional and the other
entirely opposite. (p.247). (11)

The previous passages from Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite
Empire, by Drucilla Dunjee Houston, presents a clear idea of what the
invading barbarians brought and imposed on the Black people of Kushite
African origins as well as the Black Negroid-Australoid (Dravidian
Blacks also of African origin). These Blacks were the originators of
India’s magnificient civilizations long before the barbarians began to
move into India. Among the most odious philosophers introduced to
India by the aliens was the caste and “varna” or color consciousness
system of racial, color and caste stratification. This system was
based on the debasement of India’s original Black race. The system
originally began as a skin color based caste system, with the lightest
in skin color and closest in appearance to the invaders being at the
top of the scale (similar to the racist system in the U.S. and South
Africa), and the darkest being the Nagas and other indigenous Kushites
and other Blacks being at the bottom.

India’s Black Dalits or “Untouchables,” are outside of the caste
system. They are the original Black (Naga and other Kushitic types) of
India who spoke the Kushitic and Dravidian languages, both part of the
Afro-Asiatic language family which was first spoken by the Black race
of Eastern Africa and was later adopted by the Semites, in the same
manner that English is being adopted by people worldwide, and is
spoken by people worldwide as a primary language irrespective of race
or ethnicity. These African originated languages are spoken in one
form or another from West Africa all the way to Cambodia (where
ancient Cushitic Blacks settled in ancient times). India’s
Untouchables are the descendants of those who fought fierce battles
against the invaders and infiltrators and refused to join the racist
caste system, which was fused into religious teachings (as racism has
been fused into the bible and Christian teachings) by the invaders.
The untouchables were therefore regarded as enemies and even before,
they were lowered in status after a long series of wars which occurred
between them and the invaders. Disunity was the primary cause of their
being defeated (HEAR THIS PEOPLE). However, after years of suffering,
they were united after the Buddha Dharma was introduced to them. M.
Gopinath explains in his book, “Nagaloka: The Fractured History and
Forgotten Glory of the Bahujan Indians, (April, 1998, p.13):

Gopinath states that among the kingdoms and rulers established by the
Black Nagas were the Magadha Kingdom, ruled by Sisunag in Bihar, the
Magadha Kingdom which became an empire ruled by Bimbisara, the fifth
ruler of the Dynasty, Nanda, who killed King Bahananda of the Sisunaga
Dynasty in 413 B.C. by an adventurer called Nanda, who began the Nanda
Dynasty. In 322 B.C., Maurya Dynasty was founded. Emperor Asoka of the
Maurya Dynasty, (known worldwide as one of India’s greatest emperors),
became a Buddhist. He spread his rule throughout Asia, without having
to conquer the lands through warfare. He spread Buddhism and
eliminated the evil practices brought by the barbarians to India.
These non-Naga practices included drinking alcohol excessively,
gambling, sacrificing of animals and immoral behavior. The Naga
nations and the entire Naga empires enjoyed peace, prosperity and
progress after asoka made Buddhism the state religion. Due to this,
the Aryans began to fume, plot and infiltrate the Bhuddist religion
and organizations. By then, they had been reduced to a lower class,
while the Nagas had regained their rightful place in control of the
Naga’s lands and wealth. The Aryans were particularly angered by the
ban on animal sacrifices. Asoka allowed them to gain a few positions,
where they were treated fairly according to their performance. In due
time, however, they plotted a coup, overthrew the Naga Mauran Dynasty
and began what Gopinath states to be, “a bloodiest chapter in the
history of mankind,” (p.19) carried out by a Samavedhi Sung Brahmin
called Pushyamitra. They carried out a reign of terror on the
Naga-Buddhists which lasted for many centuries killing many thousands
of Naga-Buddhists, destroying their temples and turning them into
Aryan shrines for their own Gods. According to Gopinath, the
Brahminical genocide did not eliminate all the Naga-Bhuddist kings.
Many continued to rule a large part of India until the 1200’s A.D.
They refused to be tricked by the Aryans and stood as a challenge to
them. These final bulwalks of Naga resistance was finally crushed by
foreigners invited to defeat the Naga-rajas. The Buddhist monasteries
and religion was destroyed, and their kingdoms were taken over by the
invaders. The barbarians did not even allow the Naga-Buddhists to be
independant, or to earn a living, (sounds farmiliar, doesn’t it?).
They passed laws to prevent their commercial activities and
industriousness (reminds on of the schemes and laws passed against
braiding Black folks hair by folks who have blonde hair). The Nagas
became a stateless people in a few years after the above measures and
oppressive moves against them. The Aryans were able to separate many
of the Nagas into occupational groups (castes). A significant number
refused to join into the scheme and they became the “Untouchables,”
and lived separately from the invaders.

THE CONTINUED SUFFERING OF INDIA’S BLACK INDIGENOUS MAJORITY AND BLACK
TRIBAL PEOPLE

The history of the Glorious Black Naga People of India is a sad one
indeed, particularly after the ursurping of power and control by the
barbarian invaders who many believe and rightly know are in no way
indigenous to the Indian subcontinent, but migrated from Russia and
parts of North-Eastern Europe. Still, knowing the history of one of
the worlds oldest civilized people, the Kushite branch of the Black
race, to which the Nagas belong, should be a great honor to Blacks
worldwide, for it was the Kushites who began the entire process of
civilization on planet earth. The Naga People of India belong to a
large family of Blacks whose origins are in East Africa and who spread
to West Africa, East Asia and the Indian Ocean-Pacific region. In
fact, there are still Blacks in both East and West Africa who use the
title “Naga” as their primary name. or use words derived from it.
Examples of the name “Naga” includes the Naga Tribe of Sudan and East
Africa, the ago-Mina of West Africa and Brazil, the Nubians, the Nuers
and Nuba of Sudan, the ugamarta of West Africa. All these groups are
of Kushitic origins and are of the same racial and ethnic lineage as
the Nagas (tribals, Black Dalits and others) of India, the Blacks of
South-East Asia, and those of some parts of the South Pacific and
Melanesia. It is only a matter of time before all these
Blacks…perhaps one 800 to one billion of Kushitic origins, rise up
and regain their former glory as the greatest people the world has
ever known. Their present suffering and oppression in India and
throughout the world should be an incentive to take the steps
necessary to rise up.

IT CAN BE SAID FURTHER, THAT ALL BLACKS ALIVE TODAY ARE BASICALLY OF
KUSHITIC AND NUBIAN ORIGINS,SINCE IT WAS FROM SUDAN (ANCIENT KUSH)
THAT THE GREAT MIGRATIONS OF BLACKS AND THE SPREAD OF BLACK
CIVILIZATION BEGAN.

In regards to the suffering of the Black Nagas of India, V.T.
Rajshekar explains, that the Dalits (which includes the Naga Tribes)
are primarily agricultural workers on whose backs the agricul- tural
system rests. Yet, the Dalits are also slum dwellers outside the major
cities, where they are segregated, just as they are in the rural
villages. Untouchables are prevented from marrying outside of their
caste and mixed dining is not allowed. To the Brahmin of Hindus at the
upper levels of the caste system, the native Black Indians were
regarded as “untouchables,” “unseeables,” “unapproachables,”
“unthinkables.” To touch, see, approach, think or dream of an
untouchable was considered an abomination by the Aryan or Hindu. This
sanctified racist caste system was maintained by making sure the
Blacks were disarmed (you all get that folks!!!! when people come
offering you food for your guns you better JUST SAY NO!!!). In fact,
most of the native Indians were disarmed so that they had no effective
means of fighting back and eliminating the racist system. The Blacks
were forced to live on the carcases of dead animals. Black Dalit women
were turned into prostitutes. They were forced to wear rags and to
>arry dead animals and perform the worse types of manual labor. (“The

Black untouchables of India,” African Presence in Early Asia,
Transaction Publishers, New Bruinswich, NJ: 1993, p. 237). (15)

Rajshekar states that the caste system as explained in the Rig Vedas
and Aryan racism as practiced in modern India against India’s original
and aboriginal Black inhabitants has been the greatest contributor to
misery in the world.

    Caste and class differentiation that essentially came about due to need for occupation for survival and that took an evil and ugly turn by rulers as becoming a discriminatory practice. With tthe right to education and right to employment, the socio economic scene has improved but it needs to be superceded with Educational opportunities for the ultimate social mobility.There are many Dalit enterpreuners who have excelled in their profession, and we are all very proud, yes but atrocities against humans and racism needs to be immediately stopped.

  2. Swapnil says:

    The writer has forgotten that the cause of the misery of Indian people is due to foriegn invasion

    And that the Aryan invasion theory is disproven.

    It was invented by Western Historians to prove the supremacy of their race over the others.

    Also the word Arya means good.
    Hindu’s fought war for justice
    Harappan Mohenjodaro is a Vedic Civilization.

Dear Swapnil,I must insist that you not just make blanket statements, such as the Aryan invasion theory being already disproven without at least quoting a source.I have at least 1,source of my own,a book called The Indo Aryan controversy,evidence and interference in Indian history, By Edwin Bryant and Laurie L. Patton, there book certainly seems to favors the article of information by Pianke Nubiyang, not to mention the information sources provided by him in his article.

  6. Tamil Pride says:

    It is funny that they try to claim that most of India isn’t “black enough” to be related to the “originals” considering most African-Americans are lighter than 90% of India. I am a Tamil, and it also has been proven, thanks to a genetic test, that I share genetics with the “Australoids” of Adamanese, but I am an Indian/Tamil. Most of us are even Hindu, including myself. My skin is one of the darkest I have seen (dark and lovely) while living in America, yet it is not truly black (nobody’s is), my hair is, but so is 90% of humanity. I will not label myself “black” because no skintone can truly be that color, nor “African” because I do not come from Africa nor have I lived in Africa. Though Caste system remains a problem, there is Brahmins who have dark skin like me, and Dalits who are lighter than me. As for the white dots and black dots that some claim to be racism, what about the African Tribe Yoruba who paint white dots on their bodies to worship their god, Obatala (who’s name means god of the white cloth and is considered a white deity). Is that self hate? Of course not! It is the same with Indians. We are what we are. Colorism and skin creams were ideas brought in by the Europeans, not any “group” of Indians. We are a beautiful people over a Billion strong.

    • Marietta says:

      Tamil, whether you believe it or not that you are not African and come from Australoid stock, it has been discovered that even the ancient ancestors of Chinese are from Africa and probably all of Asia and not to mention the first inhabitants of this earth. It is also discovered that this genetic testing that is being done is not totally reliable. You can be tested by several different companies and come back with several different results. You should take no shame in being what you really are – of African.descent and divide yourself from others. You personally may have not come from Africa, but if you look further back in your ancestry, I am sure you will discover that your ancient ancestors did.

      Tamil we all have been deceived according to what they teach us in their history. Don’t let anyone brainwash you any further into not accepting your heritage and be proud of it. For it consist of many creative, scientific, artistic innovative endeavors by the Africans that once again were appropriated by foreign invaders. Its the same with the Greeks who took Egypt’s knowledge and brought t ito Greece to claim it as their own. They say civilization started with the Greeks. It’s a lie!

      Now when you talk about the Brahmins, the ones that have subjugated, suppressed, oppressed and even kill in the name of there made up religion that had been appropriated from the original Black Buddhist of Asia and augmented to condoned their racist attitudes, beliefs and behaviors, well that is a different story. This is where I would draw the line.

      Good morning Tyjanina,I just wanted to say that because we live in a hyper fast moving world,we often want to fast forward to the ending,just be mindfull that patience is a Godly attribute,it brings its own rewards,such as helping us all to become better able to take the time to open our minds and our understanding to things perhaps we did not previously know ,or to atleast provoke us to begin thinking outside the box, please be patient.

  7. What you say seems beautiful but I don’t agree. The infamous Indian caste system was very present in an oppressive and complicated form in the Mohenjo Daro civilization. It was also already a composite race society, with a mixed-blooded but rather clear-skinned manipulative elite dividing and ruling, through finance, intimidation, mind-control and magical science of the most Machiavelian kind (hence their name nagas related to reptiles), other ethnic groups of various colours, most of them darker and nimbler, except for the white and stout, muscled Aryans who were also considered inferior but better at cattle-raising and frontier warfare (quite like the despised American white thrash of yore, or the Irish under the British Empire). The highest caste was the financial and technological one (and more and more magical), not the intellectuals’, which suited well the era of Taurus. The common language was already, for all groups dark or white, of the Aryan family, through pre-vedic and pre-sanskrit, simply due to the fact higher literary languages have always transcended racial barriers apart from having the tendency to stem from rather barbaric tribes (like Arabic in later history). The Aryans, when living among themselves, had a simpler, freer and more equalitarian social structure, though of the well-known indic-european tripartite division (priests, who led the most austere life, warriors, who led a strenuous spartan life and were the ruling group, and cattle-raisers, who strove for riches and good life), otherwise they tended to be improvident and poor and the hewers of wood and carriers of water for the financial elite. A time came when the elite grew less and less generous and more and more corrupt in nature and resorting to control through occult powers, less through useful technology. A later time came the masses grew so poor that the Aryan tribes, of stronger physical complexion and simpler intellect, spearheaded a violent and successful slave revolt against the decadent, witch-ridden elite, and destroyed their economic system, taking also advantage of the harbours’ drying up with climate change, and ended up being the ruling group of a simpler society, where the subservient darker tribes just agreed on paying a lump tax in goods instead of being programmed as slaves. Race mixing was discouraged as conducive to cunning and artfulness, as well as organized economy and centralized resource management through bureaucracy, what the archeologists describe as a dark age.

  8. I couldn’t refrain from commenting. Very well written!

    most people in india today cannot handle the truth of their dark African ancestry,,,Europe deeply scarred the decendants to the point where india will encourage her daughters to seek a European over her own

  12. Prasad says:

    good work .tracing the lineage of indian people . but most of indians are under the impression that the aryans evolved in india itself. though there is no such proof ,but even if somebody provides a mountain of evidence indians just wont accept it.

    negroid type of black people form African continents were not the ruling class in india at any time
    there were probably many tribes called Nagas, similar names may be there in other parts of the world. may be sharing some common rituals.
    In Naga dominated areas Naga kings ruled. But they were not emperors.
    example- Shisunaga

    Dravidian were local people commonly called as “local Indians” there were native to land from millennia

    Ravana was a Dravidian king.

    Aryan practices and appearances are foreign to the land and it could be believed that these Aryans came from outside.
    They can be called as “barbarians” in roman words.
    This migration or invasion of barbarians continued over several thousand years.
    These barbarians gradually became prominant and ruling class and destroyed many Dravidian rulers and population-examples- partly mohendodaro and Harappa and other unknown many rural communities.
    Certainly Aryans are not local people.

    These are the creators of vernashrama, civil and military codes, vedas and rituals.
    Dravidians are not African black race.
    Human slavery has been practiced surely by Aryans perhaps from much more ancient times before arrival of Aryans. That’s how there are still african types of people in india.

    It is likely that african tribes were brought to India for labour work
    and they were traded like goods, unlike American practices of capturing these blacks from Africa and selling them in open market.

      Sha, I can tell you do not know our history. You must study more to get to the truth. All humans originate from “Africa” at some point in time. Africans have ruled in many lands outside the Mother Continent, even in Europe. Before the so called 1st president in America: George Washington in America existed a black president. Certain people would like us to believe that all Africans were brought to different parts of the world through slavery to keep the ‘Black’ down at a lowly status to instill no worth in their eyes and the rest of the world. This is further from the truth.

      Please note that there exist every phenotype in the African Race, not just the stereotype of a large nose and lips with woolly hair. Africans were in India, way before the lighter Indians we see today. The white population has only been on this earth for approximately 8000 years, the so called ‘Black’ way much longer. Dravidians are apart of the African race, just as you are. The lighter one has become only equals the lack of melanin (de-pigmentation) through genetic mutation throughout the years.

      Our history has been suppressed. I suggest you dig deeper to know who you really are, for if you do not know where you have come from, you will not know where you are going. Or you can continue to live in illusion. The shame you seem to carry about the ‘Black’ only dishonors your own heritage.

    Thank you very much for such an elaborate article (Except the term Dravidian because I feel it has little value when we are discussing true history). Yes this is closest to the truth we can approach although many people in India still worships Vedic Hinduism blindly & will do so for years to come totally overlooking the lies spread by the propaganda religion practiced by them to delete their misdeeds from the pages of recorded history. My support comes from my navigation through Vedic religious texts and various cross-references shared by noble people in the internet to spread true knowledge across humanity. So, it is not going to be an historian / archaeologist approach as far as this response in concerned which will be beyond my scope of work.
    It is not the Vedic people ( I prefer to call them Normand but for identification sake let’s call them like the former) who brought civilization to the ancient India and world at large rather it is the so-called native human races Nagas, Yakhsas, Rakshasas, Danavas, Daityas etc. who were more civilized and modern. And the reason I said that the term Dravidian is not appropriate when discussiong this subject is because vedic texts themselves admit these native races were present not only in India but all over the world and pre-dated the descendents of Manu or Manavas so localizing them to south of India and pinpointing them as distinct single race is not an intellectually honest pursuit and hides the harmful political agenda behind such grouping.
    These groups of people were humble and knowledgeable and added true value to the humanity at large by inventing all great human faculties including science, mathematics, astronomy, architecture, seafaring, metallurgy, medicine, music, arts, spirituality etc.. They build great cities with full planning and their civilization was technology based and not an agrarian or cattle breeding type (Pushpak Vimana used by Rakshasa king Ravana was a real ancient advanced aviation technology used by non-vedic people of which Vedic people have no clue. No wonder they attributed Ravana as the ten-headed one to elaborate the amount of knowledge he possessed compared to vedic people).
    Vedic people were greedy and interested in colonizing the rest of the world and they don’t have much knowledge and enlightenment to begin with. They typically lived in groups and each group has a king (Nripati gana) and one person who is knowledgeable / enlightened (Rishi gana). Other common people in the group were greedy human beings who lacked education and ethics of any kind.
    When they arrived in India they understood that we are inferior in every sense compared to the native Indian people so they don’t get into a direct fight immediately. It can be noted here that there was no Aryan invasion as such but it was definitely a mass migration in search of better livelihood. Subsequently, they started manipulating things towards their advantage. They encouraged all kinds of fights within the natives themselves with plenty such examples in the puranic stories e.g. vanara king Sugreeva fight with his brother and subsequently with Rakshasa king Ravana, the great fight between Nagas and Suparnas (both originally belonged to Naga race) which resulted in weakening of Naga race and strategically enhancing position of Indra even though he is not participating actively in this fight.
    Once they gained the trust and knowledge from their providers i.e. native Indians then they changed their mode of interaction and became dominating towards native people. In vedas they respected naga people as devas but in Mahabharata period we see Arjuna destroyed Khandav forest where great Naga Takshak was staying and killed his wife in that massacre. Lord Krishna was depicted as anti-Naga when he kills Kaliya Naga. On gorund, they conquered majority of the lands held by natives and on propaganda level they started twisting the scriptures, body of knowledge to sing and praise glory of vedic people and demean the natives.
    Here we must note that Ramayana, Mahabharata etc. are stories which might not be created by vedic people but they surely made sure to modify or re-write the native stories / folklores to suit their narrative and political agenda. Original versions of the folklores or the stories are not available today because we don’t have elaborate texts which were written by native Indian races at least not made popular through circulation. Although hundreds and thousands of texts, reference, commentaries are available on vedic texts which are intelligent manipulation of the already existing body of knowledge but today we don’t find not a single research book which are able to study or decipher original texts written by native races. It is hard to believe that such texts never existed considering the fact that these people developed such a huge body of knowledge. So, either those original body of knowledge were suppressed for a long time and destroyed by the vedic people or whatever they were able to comprehend they had given a spin to make it look like their own creation and then passed it on to next generation with a vedic stamp. Deciphering scripts of native people e.g. Indus valley, Mayans etc. and studying those can give us not only valuable knowledge hidden for thousands of years but can also give perspective of native people regarding historical events that caused their doom and the manner in which it happened.
    Native people of India worshipped Lord Siva, Ganesha, mother goddesses like Durga & Kali and various other feminine forms etc. They practiced tantra or occultism, Kundalini science etc. which were not known or practiced by vedic people. Lord Siva was the supreme lord among native Indian population and gods like Indra, Agni, Mitra-Varuna and other vedic deities were alien to them. So, vedic people tried to change that also by bringing Lord Vishnu in the forefront while Lord Siva took a backseat although they were not able to fully eliminate him from vedic culture because of his strong influence in native Indian life. It is a bit more clear from this why during Samudra Manthan or churning of ocean lord Siva has to bear poison and become Neel-kantha while Lord Vishnu gets the credit of savior of gods who helped them to get the nectar. Ardent follower of Lord Siva and king of Nagas, Vasuki has to leave his native land forever and has to take refuge in patal loka (nether worlds which can be located at Mayan mountains in central America but I will save this discussion for a later day) even though Devas utilized him fully during churning of the ocean and even after getting the share of nectar due to the grace of lord Siva. Note that central characters in Ramayana & Mahabharata are avatars of Lord Vishnu while villains like king Ravana worshipped lord Siva. One who can fully understand this changing equation of the trinities in vedic texts can clearly relate it to the migration of vedic people. This is a subtle but a sure sign that a dramatic change has happened which caused this religious swing.
    Casteism surely has to do with migration of vedic people otherwise why it was so strictly followed for so long in nothern parts of India which were inhabited by vedic people but not so much in southern and eastern regions as the vedic influence was very less in ancient times and people living there were considered non-vedic in ancient time. So, it can be projected as dharmic labour division in popular vedic texts which sounds smart and cool but inside story was of course to maintain distance between vedic and non-vedic people and thereby putting them into such a shameful position in the society that non-vedic thinking, life philosophies and aspirations were buried forever and glorious past of native Indian races were never be able to challenge the vedic society again and will be forgotten from the pages of history.
    We can go on endlessly to elaborate on hijacking of ancient Indian native civilization and body of knowledge by vedic migrants through cross-examination of all vedic religious texts and historical remains of our native land. But, hardline Hindu fanatics and Indian society at large will never be able to accept or appreciate this line of thinking as they have to accept that India was originally a great civilization developed by black races who were not vedic but someone who predates vedic migrants. Recent archaeological findings at Rakhigarhi (an Indus valley site) re-confirms it as the DNA tests of all the 4 human skeletons found here confirms presence of native indian genes only and lacks any steppe component present in vedic migrants living in India. In fact, it is the support and nurturing of vedic people by the native Indian races which makes them look much more smart and advanced compared to societies built by them in other parts of the ancient world (Seven dvipas or sapta-dvipa basumati as they called it).
    Yes, the vedic people gained the maximum by coming over to India but they can’t be acquitted from the charge of suppressing and destroying a much more advanced and civilized native Indian race at the cost of their own glory. If we have to feel proud about glorious past of India, then we must start acknowledging the non-vedic origin of our civilization and create an environment where such true historical aspects are discussed, cross-examined and then put the sentiments for the real heroes of our past society and people rather than a migrating population who exploited us all through and passed on a twisted sense of history to us. Jai Hind!! Hail mother India!!
