Read my Blog http://hinduismglance.wordpress.com/about/ 1.THERE NEVER WAS ANY ARYAN AND DRAVIDIAN DIVIDE IN INDIA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2yHPkO1oIM&feature=channel_page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1EoztuU26g&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXtacyrxsQI&feature=related 2.THERE IS NO WORD LIKE DRAVIDIAN IN SANSKRIT HINDU(ARYAN) SCRIPTURES AND RUNOKO RASHIDI'S STATEMENT PROVES HE IS NOT WELL READ ABOUT INDIAN CULTURE AND HISTORY. 3.PEOPLE OF ARYAVARTA(INDIA) HAVE CAUCASIAN AND CAUCASIAN MONGOLOID DNA STRUCTURE.THEY ARE NOT AFRICANS UNLIKE RUNOKO RASHIDI CLAIMS.There is no such thing scientifically speaking as Aryan and Dravidian races. The so-called Aryans and Dravidian races of India are members of the same Mediterranean branch of the Caucasian race, The Caucasian race is not simply white but also contains dark skinned types. Skin color and race is another nineteenth century idea that has been recently discarded. 4.THERE IS NO COLOR DESCRIMINATION IN ARYAVARTA(INDIA) EVEN IN PRESENT DAYS.A DARKER COMPLEXION PARENT CAN GIVE BIRTH TO A FAIR COMPLEXION CHILD OR A FAIR COMPLEXION PARENT CAN GIVE BIRTH TO A DARK COMPLEXION CHILD. 5.THE RELIGION AND BELIEFS THROUGHOUT ARYAVARTA(INDIA) IS THE SAME.WHITE,BLACK,COLOURED STONES ARE USED TO MAKE IDOLS OF GOD.These black Dravidians portrayed their gods as blacks and portrayed evil beings with white skin is a very wrong notion that the African historian Runoko Rashidi holds.Probably he is a racist to even think of demeaning the Indian culture by bringing such insane ideas. 6.THE WORD ARYA WHICH MEANS NOBLE COMES FROM RIG VEDA.IT IS THE TERM GIVEN TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO PRACTISE SANATAN DHARMA POPULARLY KNOWN AS HINDUISM(A BRITISH TERMINOLOGY).THE WORD HINDU IS ALSO A BRITISH TERMINOLOGY.THE CORRECT WORD FOR HINDU IS ARYA 16.WHO WERE THE UNTOUCHABLES AND WHY WERE THEY TREATED THAT WAY.WAS IT A RACIAL DISCRIMINATION?UNTOUCHABILITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COLOR BUT MEAT EATING.UNTOUCHABLES ARE THEIR EVEN IN MUSLIM SOCIETY IN SOUTH ASIA. The great liberal Indian Sufi Saint Kabir requested the masses to avoid meat eaters but not to hate them.Kabir would not allow meat eaters to attend the daily satsang he conducted under the shade of a tree, where his followers recited shlokas.Kabir too was a strict vegetarian. He condemned meat-eating; and enjoined on all his disciples to control rasa (taste) of the tongue. Kabir, too, condemned the popular superstition that a man, by eating sacrificial meat, could have access to the heaven world or paradise.All violence. -Kabir calls it Zor, is oppression. He says :-All violence is (tyranny). And he urges that for every act of violence man is responsible to God. He who kills an animal or eats animal flesh, Kabir says. is a murderer in Gods darbar. False is the prayer in which truth is murdered. A Muslim who takes meat and regards not the suffering of tortured creatures, may be called by men a pir but is murderer according to Kabir, a Kafir.All jivas says Kabir are pictures of the One. The meat-eater, Kabir calls a rakshasa for he has driven out compassion from his heart. (Mira Aug.55).All the saint in that era condemed killing of animals for food.People who still continued meat eating were avoided by the masses.They were the outcaste or the untouchables.Those who left meat eating joined the main stream society. 17.Google search Vikramaditya inscription in the kaaba You will find that The Arabs were thanking the Indians for sending them a beautiful religion which was unknown to them athough they were in more contact with Africans.
