"Miss Saraswati, or should I call Nizam Saraswati-"
"Well, Miss is better."
"Yes. Miss Saraswati, as the Education Minister of India, you have called British Education as terrible and rewriting Indian achievements. Like full development of the number system reduced to being only the discoverer of 0.
After that speech, our universities did our own investigation, and has started debating on whether to keep calling the modern numerals as 'Arabic' or 'Indo-Arabic'.
But calling the Aryan Invasion Theory as propaganda, completely denying that Dravidian-ism is actually a thing but is just British propaganda to further divide the people, and rewriting the current history books that has been running under British education... Isn't it an attempt to revision of history?"
"Really? You think it is not the British that rewrote history?"
"Well, there are certainly some parts that must have been rewritten for maintaining control over the colony. But not everything."
"Alright. I guess just like USA's books has made history such that it was not made by forcefully taking the actual American's lands. That it has not killed most of the population with diseases. That it has not completely erased USAs history before Europeans colonised it.
Just like that, British also didn't try to use propaganda to erase history. The Indian books that they have stolen and locked in British museum and libraries, and we don't even know how many they have destroyed was just a British tendency to steal things."
She sarcastically said, but the USAian interviewer kept his expression straight.
"There is a very thin line between Education and Propaganda. Or perhaps, there isn't really a line.
This country, Bharat, is said to be only united under British Empire. That before British Empire, there was no India.
Like Veds, the oldest books in the world didn't mention what is Bharat. Where is Bharat.
Indus Valley Civilization wasn't the starting of India. Actually, calling it as Indus Valley Civilization itself is propaganda.
The downfall of the civilization coincided with Saraswati river drying up. It is Saraswati civilization. And Indus, whose actual name is Sindhu, was its westward main river, while Saraswati was eastward, so its better to say that it was Sindhu-Saraswati Civilization.
And Saraswati river's drying up due to tectonic shifts, because you know, Indian plate kept ramming into Asian plate even after joining together and forming Himalayas. The water from Yamuna and Sutlej into Saraswati, which made it so grand aside from intense rain during that period, got diverted into Sindhu and Ganga respectively. Then rain at the hills of Himalayas were also not as intense.
Drying up of Saraswati, and what remained of it diverting eastward because its strength wasn't enough to go to the plateaus coming from plains, ultimately meeting Ganga and Yamuna at Prayagraj, is certainly one of the biggest reason.
Yet, they act as if the disappearance of that civilization is mysterious, while labelling Saraswati river as a made up fantasy river.
The Aryan Invasion Theory, and that Sanskrit originated from some sort of Proto-Indo-European language has no proof."
"No. It actually has genetic proofs."
"Oh? Alright. Let me convince you that cigarette is actually good for health. I will give you proof too.
Nicotinic Acid is one of the things that is good for mitochondria. Cigarette contains it.
So, cigarette must be pretty good for health, right?"
"I mean, cigarette is not bad for health."
"Oh come on! You are a reporter. You are interviewing me, the head of Indraprasth University. Did you not take a look at the public researches at least. Did you not question why in that university, smoking, alcohol, cola, and why all sorts of things are banned?
Collectively registered as DRUGS?
Cigarette is made up of a lot of chemicals. I have never had one, so I don't know if it has a taste or something. When burnt, these chemicals react and release lots if toxic gases. And you are directly inhaling them from your mouth and nose.
Directly inhaling even water vapours can turn dangerous if done in enough amount.
Anyway, back at the topic.
These 'scientific' proofs are nothing but observation results of specific experiments. And these proofs depend on depend on what experiment was chosen.
The Aryan Invasion theory is based on the genetic similarity between Indians in the northern region, Iranins and such, along with how many words of Sanskrit are made up in those regions out of India.
And the genetic similarity is also taken on a group of people.
Whether you want to believe it or take it as a religion fantasy, according to the battle of Ten Kings, a group of Indians migrated out of India. Don't want to believe that, there are several references of Out-of-India migration.
And even if you call it nonsense, unlike Egyptian and other ancient civilizations, was there an proof of a war found in Sindhu civilisation?
And the gentics show that Indians in the norther and souther regions are too close to be considered different.
India is not rewriting history.
Your countries are doing it. In the history far away. And in the recent.
Tell me, what is the Nazi Symbol actually? Where does it come from? What is its origin?"
"Nazi symbol is Swastika. But Hitler turned it into his twisted ideals by twisting it 45°."
"See? This is recent. Yet still rewriting history. It is not Swastik. Even remotely.
It is Hakenkruz. It's English translation will be 'Hooker Cross' not Swastik.
Hitler didn't steal it from India and many other countries for whom it is an auspicious thing, basically half of the world's population. It is not a Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and any other Asian religion minus South-West Asia.
It is a Christian symbol. It has been used in genocides many times in history for wiping out those who followed their own religion.
And the reformers of Christianity didn't want to consider these symbols of genocides to be theirs at that time, so they called it Swastik. Even though there was no relation.
Tell me, a religion which genocided people for praying to other gods, idols, and anything that crossed their own beliefs, why will they adopt an Indian symbol?
China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Combodia, and practically every Asian countries adopted it aside from Christian and Muslim countries because they were tolerant.
Instead of trying to educate the people of the flaws in the current system, they chose to ignore it.
And Hitler happened. It wasn't the first time. When we don't learn about history properly, it repeats itself.
Tell me, why were Jews and Romani targeted? And genocides against those communities were only possible because there is public sentiment against them.
Zorastriams have been living in India for centuries. Their mythology of dieties are mostly the opposite of Hindus.
But they are one of the most trusted community.
Jews have also been living in India for centuries. Being the only place that didn't persecute them in the world. Even though they don't believe in idol worship.
Why? Because India is inherently secular because of our beliefs. Swastik is our belief that protected Jews from persecution.
Hakenkruz was the belief that brought them genocide.
And since you all are comfortable with rewriting history to fit your narrative, history will ultimately repeat itself.
It's not us who are rewriting history. Foreign countries don't need to try to influence our internal policies and our history.
Any attempts of such is a hostile intention.
Both of you, USA and USSR are going to have a cold war, so it's better to not raise hostility against the country which had the most soldiers in both WW1 and WW2 which led to the victory.
I think that you understand how war happens. In both wars, we were forced to fight. But if it came to defending our country, we will be fully motivated.
Why do you think I rejected BBC's request for interviewing me? Because UK is scared of what a united India will be capable of.
Pakistan may have been successful, but if any country tries to further lay any division, know that the future that India will write will not be kind to those scums."
