My views on Aryan Invasion Theory

Aryans ever invaded India? This is a very burning question of Indian History. Some people think that they did while others say they didn't. I also think that they never invaded india and they were the original inhabitants of "Bharatvarsha". Let, give some time to my thoughts.

About 4500-5000 years ago, a great urban based Civilisation flourished across the western india. Previously archaeologist and historians thought that the center of that civilisation was around greateriver Indus, but now people think that the center was between Indus river and river Saraswati. The civilians of this civilisation were the worshippers of Mother Goddess, Pashupati and forces of nature. Very early form of Hinduism can be found in the seals, altars of this civilisation. The main problem is that we are yet not able to decipher the Harrappan script.

Western scholars say that the Aryans came from central asia and destroyed this great urban civilisation and propagated their own culture and religion. They composed hymns in the form Vedas. The main flaw with this thought was that in whole Rig veda there is not even a single line about the place from where the Aryans were supposed to come to india, but there are lines depicting the great Harappan civilisation. How can a person will forget to write about the place from where he is supposed to be migrated?. This point clearly suggest that the Aryans were the followers of Harrappan civilisation.
Another point is that suppose they attacked india and destroyed Harrappan civilisation then why they had accepted the religion and customs of harrappan civlisation. History books clearly suggest that the victor dictates the terms and conditions to the looser.

Another point is that if they attacked india then how they had the knowledge of geographical boundaries of india as written in Rigveda.
But now there is another question if Aryans were the civilians of Harrappan civilisation then how this great civilsation become extinct. Many scholars think that, that may be due to the floods in Indus river, this reason is also justified by the history of india which clearly says that after Harrappan civilsation people moved to eastern india in the plains of ganges.

This topic is highly debatable and i welcome all comments.

They say we are not smart enough

'India does not produce enough good computer engineers and those it does are good at theory but not very well equipped to handle the practical aspects.' -- Microsoft Chief Technical Officer Craig Mundie.
With Due respect to the sentiments of IT Professionals India, I can say that Craig is right in his statement. We lack exposure to newer technolgies. Theories can be learn in class rooms but to learn newer technolgy we should fund our institutions more vigorously.

Return to Cricket, My dear friends wrote that i often change sides and i am worst than the indian politicians. I am firm on the statements made by me about Ganguly, Rahul and Dravid. I am a fan of Sourav Ganguly and i will remain for ever. I am not a person who becomes friend only in happier times. I am invariant to the person's situation.
Some body, who had no enough courage to show his name, wrote anonymously that Sourav had never played a inning like Rahul's last inning. I can only laugh at his ignorance.
Sharad Pawar won the election and he has removed those selector who voted for Sourav Ganguly. It was a very expected move. So Sourav, Good luck for an Indian Safari.

This picture again say the whole picture. Both crusaders led India to home. They demolished RSA and their top batsman Kallis took more than sufficient number of balls to score his valiant knock. The Great Wall of India did it again. As i wrote in one of my blog that "The sight (his wickets making a highway) is a very rare sight". He led his team beatifully but again Master batsman was a failure, very ordinary series for him 36 runs in 4 innings. Heros of the series are Pathan and Yuvraj, who played with consistency. But this series has showed the cracks of Team india, top order collapse in each match. Beware Srilanka, Tiger is roaring once again and you have no Surya this time. Posted by Picasa

The Legend of a born idiot

When people say me hyppocrat, born idiot, fu**ing idiot, a**hole, unpatriot then a famous line comes to my mind,let me share with you,
"First they will ignore you, then they will laugh at you, then they will abuse you, they will fight with you and then you will win" --None other than Einstein's Mahatma.

So i guess i am right at the third stage.
I want to clarify one more thing i always loved indian team and i will always love it. Sachin, sourav, rahul doesnt matter a dan shit to me. But i cant see blindly the unjustice to a very capable leader. During whose captainship india is currently number 3 test team in the world and yet he lost his Test captainship.

Some body wrote about wickets of Eden well i want to remind him abt the wickets of Nagpur in 2004 series against Australia. Thats total politics. And about the gesture of Kolkatan crowds toward Rahul, who will forget the gesture of Banglore crowd towards Ganguly when india lost the Test match in 2005 against Pakistan, and the gesture of Mumbai's crowd in 2001-2 ODI series against England towards Ganguly when ganguly got out at a very decent 80 of 99 balls including 4 sixes. I have many more to tell but these are useless things. Players have to take both applaude and crticism equally.
And about Chappel, he accepted that he showed his finger (http://cricket.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1309472.cms) now i am waiting what our honourable BCCI will do. The final match is on Monday. Lets hope the win of best team.

Saturday, November 26, 2005

Our Honourable Coach showed his mission.

Proteas did their home work very well, and now they are very well at their target of winning the series. May the best team win. Before series was started I made a bet with one of my friend that RSA will win the series 3-2, now i guess it would be 3-1. Rahul Dravid is a great player no doubt it but i doubt his leadership qualities. What we can do we can hope the best and prepare for the worst. These things ,Like humiliating 10 wkts defeat very rarest in indian history, one in sachin's time(against WI in 2007) and one in Rahul's, will now be very frequent.

And about Greg, Now doubt he was a great player of his time. But every body knows what he said to his brother Trevor Chappel. Now he showed his fingure to the Indian crowd. What a shameful act. Every crowd has full right to support or to crticise any body but look at what our so called "COACH with a mission did" absolutely great. I have now further words.

About Ganguly, well his is doing his home work, after taking 5 wickets in first innings of Maharashtra and now he scored a scintillating 159 runs, what a slap on the faces of so called guardians of Indian cricket.

Friday, November 25, 2005

The picture says it all again. What a shame less situation for an Indian captain. Faced 31 balls scored 6 runs. But thats very rarest but yet a sight to watch. Chappel is doing everything not the Dravid so next match all of you can see R P singh and Harbhajan opening pair. Not a surprise. And lastly i would like to say our greatest Sachin whose last 7 one day international matches scores are 2,11,19,39,2,2,2 with an awesome avearge of 11.00 yet our greatest Sachin is in team and no one is listening. What a shame for the greatest of greatest batsmen. Look at Lara who hit an astonishing 202.

Just look at him. Since Ganguly was selected he is not happy. This expressionless faced person, the most cunning in the team. He casted his non counting vote against DADA so that DADA should not get any chance to play at international level. But Dada is back having a score of 3-2. The vote of Dravid against Sourav clearly shows that he doesnt want to give a test berth to Sourav. These were the intentions of Rahul from very beginning. The problem rose when he got a nervous good score and Sourav got 100 in first test. But Rahul didnt enjoy any support so he kept on improving his game. Now when he see the whole tide is against Sourav he played his hidden game, et tu Rahul, then fall India

Bade beabaroo hoker tere kuche se hum nikale

If they say doom let it be doomed. Well what a pity a glorious south paw caught in sheer poliics involving some senior players. Selectors have just made Dravid as Captain of Test Team. Lets analyse the performance of this player in the overseas match played by him during his captainship. I am not involving Zimbawbe and Kenya as people will say that they are weaker opponents.

India against SRL in 2001 in Srilanka.India lost 2-1.
In this series he was adjudged man of the match in 2nd test match.
3 matches, 166 total runs, 98* highest ,average 33.20 and 2 wickets.
One more thing about this series Sachin was not playing and basically B team was playing.

India against South Africa 2001 in SAF. India lost 1-0
In this series the famous mike denice controversy involving sachin appeared.
2 matches, 90 total runs, 42* highest, average 30.00. Sourav failed in this series.

India against West Indies in WI in 2002. India lost 2-1.
He performed brilliantly.
5 matches, 322 total runs, 75* highest, average 53.66.

India against England in England in 2002. Series drawn 1-1.
He performed brilliantly.
4 matches, 351 total runs, 128* highest, average 58.50*.

India in Newzealand in NZL in 2003. India lost 2-0.
Whole team india failed including sachin, dravid and other top guns.
2 matches, 29 total runs, 17 highest, 7.25 average.

India in Australia in Australia in 2003-04. Series drawn 1-1
He played really good cricket.
4 matches, 284 total runs, 144 highest, 47.33 average.

India in Pakistan in Pakistan in 2004. Series won 2-1. he played in last match.
he played brilliantly in only match he played.
1 match, 77 total runs, 77 highest, average 77.00

This is his batting record overseas. In his capatainship he played 21 matches (not including bangladesh and Zimb).
His record is really very good.
Match 21, 1319 total runs , 144 vs Aus highest, average 42.55, 2 wickets.

Who say he played badly against quality opposition overseas. Yet he has been deprived of the captainship of Test team. Any one listening.

Great Indian Mindset

Well, Some body forced me to write this post. Enough questions have been raised on my Patriotic syndrome. As i written in the mail i dont require a certificate from so called ill mind Indians so that i can show that i am a patriot. I am not that one. Another thing to analyse anything is my democratic right as bestowed on my Indian Constitution.
Well, its always been a proud thing to be a fan of Sourav Ganguly. I know some sports men whom i consider my ideal icon, Lance Armstrong, Jesse Owens, Andre Agassi , Rahul and none other than ur not so favourite Ganguly.
I never hated Dravid, i always admired him, but to some aspect his is too polite. I dont even consider Sachin in that league. Please forgive me. But that doesnot say that I hate Sachin. Even if i do hat doesnt make any difference. Great kudos to sharma Mukesh Kumar for writing his thoughts. A advice to him he should reconsider the spelling of Captain. He spelled it wrongly throught out the mail.
Finally Congratulations Team India for winning a one sided affair. As i am not a patriot as from you side. We will be back in the next match at Chennai.

Why I admire Sourav Ganguly

Well Many of my friends asked me why i have putted ganguly pic in my Orkut profile. I have very tranquiling answers for them.
Consider a person who is about to show his talent to the world and at that time he is forced to live miserably for some 5 golden years, the same person after those years make a come back rather heroic comeback, made two glorious centuries on the swinging wickets in first two chances, and after showing 5 years of heriosm he gets the award of highest order, and after some 5 golden years of his leadership period he is again forced to live miserably and yet he is trying very hard to make a come back.
What an attitude and i am a fan of this attitude. I agree he played miserably last year, but in that miserably year too he had an average of 32.50 in one dayers.
One more thing people ofetn speak that ganguly usually make centuries against weaker opponents like kenya he scored 3, i would like to tell them that the likes of Sachin Tendulkar also scored centuries against Kenya and the number is 4.
One important factor is ot of 22 centuries scored by ganguly indian had won 18 matches. So what an excellent winning percentage while sachin is too far behind.
I dont want to compare the two, but some buddy has to do the dirty work.
Well hoping the disaster for India in Banglore , 19th November. South Africa will win this match.
