The hokum that we have been taught in History, and why the truth is so fascinating
Most Indians, like me, deeply love their country and are proud of its rich and its diverse culture and heritage. However, problems like Caste system and the regional / communal division in the country are sobering thoughts and most of us wish we had a more plural, inclusive and united country. The so-called “Aryan invasion” theory (unproven, but widely believed) is also cause of much anguish and division. I was reading a very interesting book (" The Incredible History of India's Geography ") by Sanjeev Sanyal and I came across something something that was truly remarkable that I must share with all of you. I was happily amazed when I read that the genetic makeup of Indians is unique and most of us are from the same flock. Hence, the so called “Aryan” and “Dasa” race divide, and consequently, the North Indian vs South Indian divide is all bullshit. Also, most, if not all of us have high & low caste genes in equal measure and essentially we all are the same.
