Rgvedic India

1927

In my humble opinion it would he as absurd to treat the Itgveda and the other Vedas the Brahmanas the Upanisads and the Satras as belonging to one and the same period as it would be to treat the achievements of maturity when relating the freaks and 1 The hymns of the.1.4veda being mainly invocations of the Gods their contents are largely mythological. [...] The task of reconstructing the history of the ancient Aryans on the basis of the researches made in Vedic Literture should therefore prove far easier of accomplishment than that of writing the ancient history of any other people on the face of the Globe and should be taken up by Vedic scholars in right earnest on the lines suggested above. [...] The Chaldeans the Egyptians the Phoenicians and the pure Aryan immigrants like the Kosseans the Hittites the Mitannians the Phrygians and the Lydians etc. [...] This naturally leads us to the inference that the age of a people in a particular country is gauged by the proportion of the development of their character harmoniously with the climate and environments in which they live move and have their being; and the greater this proportion the longer is the age of the people in the country. [...] i The Post-Pliocene epoch being conterminous with the Pleistocene epoch when man undoubtedly flourished on our globe the designation of the year by the word Hima or winter in the ktgveda clearly points to the prevalence of low temperature in that country down to the commencement of the modern epoch and also to the great antiquity of the sacred Scripture itself.
