The pathogenesis started when the British wrote our history with an intention to assert their dominance and inflict us with inferiority complex so that we believed we deserved to be ruled by them. This re-written, distorted history made subjugation easier for the British. Thus was born the #Aryan Invasion Theory. Many such deplorable ideas got ingrained in us and infected us with White Superior Syndrome-a diseased colonial mindset which unhesitatingly extols all western ideas and mannerisms and degrades time-tested Indian heritage and culture. Would you personally accept if your distant neighbor drew your family tree? You would say ‘how dare you’. You know your family history better than your neighbor who migrated from a distant foreign land. But our English educated “intellectuals” (read debauched slaves of English masters) accepted and propagated this theory shamelessly and till this day, in spite of finding ample evidence against the Aryan invasion theory, there are people who believe it religiously. So accordingly the supposed native inhabitants of India, the Dravidians, feel oppressed and desperately search for a way to reclaim their land even when the whole land, along with its people and heritage are very much theirs. They feel the need to establish their supremacy over the so called “Aryans”. One way of doing this is by rejecting all that is supposed to be Aryan- the Aryan culture, the Aryan accomplishments, the Aryan know-how, the Aryan mine of knowledge and even the Aryan gods. The Aryan language, Samskrit, which is the mother of all languages and pedestal of all knowledge- spiritual and mundane, is the most unfortunate “Aryan” heritage that has been targeted vehemently and prejudicially by such vexatious people with colonial mindset. Extreme intolerance and hatred towards Samskrit is the end result of all such ‘colonial inheritance’. To further disqualify Samskrit, the so-called Dravidians go a step further and claim their language to be the most ancient predating even Samskrit. Extreme linguistic fanaticism and regionalism is concocted by this “pro-Dravidian” and “anti-Aryan” propaganda which augurs well for some vested interests and gets a lot of political mileage too. No wonder politicians like Jayalalitha oppose ‘celebration of Samskrit’. P.S. - Wonder how much more this arrogant woman would have tantalized the central government if it was formed by her support. Remember she boycotted Modi’s swearing-in ceremony as he had invited the Sri Lankan president. She could not rise above her petty-mindedness and appreciate the diplomatic masterstroke. But later this very lady needed Modi’s help to free her fishermen detained by Sri Lanka. P.P.S. - That Jayalalita is adamant, crooked and malevolently one-sided is very well known to Kannadigas who suffer every year when they are forced to share Kaveri water in unreasonable proportions. She has a problem with Modi, she has a problem with Hindi, she has a problem with Samskrit, she has a problem with Kannada, she has a problem with Karnataka and she has a problem with reasonable distribution of Kaveri water; what the heck is her problem? Get well soon, mami
