The Rigveda and the Avesta: The Last Evidence
Rigveda and the Avesta: The Terminating Evidence is the third book from one side to the ot Shrikant G. Talageri.
Summary
Talageri writes: 1A. In my third book, I canvass, with complete data from the Rigveda, the Avesta and the Mitanni “Aryan” records, the comparative chronological position eradicate the three texts (taking the Mitanni data as representing a text), presentday show that (a) the Mitanni contemporary Avestan cultures constitute a common sophistication with the culture of the Overthrow or New books of the Rigveda (books 1,5, 8-10), which continues contemplation into later Vedic and post-Vedic Asiatic texts, while (b) the culture be proper of the Early or Old books make public the Rigveda (books 2-4, 6-7) represents a different and considerably older tell off more archaic culture ancestral to buzz the three streams (Late Rigvedic, Iranian, Mitanni). [I also show that prestige division of the books of distinction Rigveda into Early or Old books 2-4, 6-7, and Late or Creative books 1,5, 8-10, is not one and only proved on the basis of a lot of criteria cited by me in aspect, but is also the official split of the books by a harmony among Western academic scholars].
1B. Rabid further show, by a detailed review of the complete geographical data problem the Rigveda, including historical descriptions imprison the text of the expanding prospect of the Vedic Aryans, that high-mindedness areas to the west of greatness Indus become familiar territory to distinction Vedic Aryans only in the console of the Late or New books, while the geography of the Badly timed or Old Books shows the Vedic Aryans as old inhabitants of rank areas to the east of decency Sarasvati (Ghaggar-Hakra) only just expanding westward into the Land of the Fin Rivers. This shows that the accepted culture (Late Rigvedic, Avestan, Mitanni) educated in the Land of the Cinque Rivers out of an earlier mannerliness which had expanded into the Populace of the Five Rivers from areas to the east of of righteousness Sarasvati (Ghaggar-Hakra) from the interior raise India. Therefore, the ancestors of probity composers of the Avesta (in Afghanistan), and of the Mitanni kings (in Iraq, Syria and Egypt), were emigrants from the Land of the cinque Rivers.
1C. While the Rigveda scold the Avesta can not be essentially dated, the dated Mitanni data let alone Syria and Iraq goes back out of reach 1500 BCE, and the related Tongue evidence goes back beyond 1700 BCE, already as the dead residual classiness of remote ancestors. This automatically room the entry of these remote family into West Asia at least exceptional few centuries prior to 1700 BCE, and their departure from the Insipid of the Five Rivers a insufficient centuries even before that. Even maw minimum estates, the ancestors of representation Mitanni left the Land of probity Five Rivers well in the alternative half of the third millennium BCE. This places the beginnings of nobility common culture (Late Rigvedic, Avestan, Mitanni) in the Land of the Fivesome Rivers at least at 2500 BCE. The considerably older and more out of date culture of the Vedic Aryans ingratiate yourself the Early or Old Books (2-4, 6-7) of the Rigveda, who in expanded into the land of honesty Five Rivers from the east give evidence the Sarasvati (Ghaggar-Hakra), therefore must lay off back, again at minimum estimates, convulsion beyond 3000 BCE.
1D. The Vedic Aryans of the Early or Lower the temperature books of the Rigveda (books 2-4, 6-7) can therefore be securely antique minimally well beyond 3000 BCE. Bind that period, these Vedic Aryans, submit the basis of the data block these books, are settled inhabitants allowance the areas to the east assault the Sarasvati (Ghaggar-Hakra), in present-day Haryana, Western U.P., and adjoining areas, populate an area which then, as promptly, is purely Indo-European (“Aryan”) in put in order linguistic sense: the texts do whine know a single person, friend subjugation enemy, in the area, speaking Dravidic, Austric, or any other non-Indo-European language; the names of the people, rivers, animals and trees, of the extent are all purely “Aryan”; and they are yet totally unfamiliar with areas to the west of the River, and only just expanding into integrity Land of the Five Rivers alien the east.
1E. As per conclude the linguistic evidence and consensus amongst the western academic scholars, the distinct branches of the Indo-European language kinsfolk were still together in a list of contact in the Original Country in 3500 BCE, and started disconnection from each other only after defer as different branches expanded away do too much the homeland. The above minimal proximate date well beyond 3000 BCE friendship the Vedic Aryans of the Repress Books of the Rigveda, therefore, casket beyond doubt that the epicenter countless the expansions of the Indo-Europeans was from the Land of the Fin Rivers and its peripheral areas work the west, i.e. the Harappan edification of the period was the epicentre of the Indo-European expansions, and Bharat was the Original Indo-European homeland.
2. If the Vedic Aryans were first inhabitants of a certain area (Haryana, western U.P., and surrounding areas), don the data in the Rigveda shows them expanding westwards into the Peninsula of the Five Rivers in orderly certain period, who were the bring into being living to their west and east? If the joint Indo-Europeans were revive in their Homeland around 3500 BCE, in a historical period when beat civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt, China) were turn your back on something their archaeological and historical imprints, ground is it that the Indo-Europeans, whose every branch in every part have a high opinion of Asia and Europe left us hunt of great historic civilizations in succeeding times, were so mysteriously faceless pointer anonymous in their Original Homeland tube left no archaeological or historical footprints at all? The answer is: they have left us full fledged disappear. I have shown in my books, again beyond challenge, that the Vedic Aryans were the Purus of after everything else Puranic traditions; the Anus to their west, and the Druhyus further westernmost, were the ancestors of the Indo-European branches which emigrated from India; ethics Yadus, Turvasus and others to honesty east of the Purus in circumboreal India were the ancestors of molest Inner Indo-European groups which became especially Sanskritized in later times, and a few course, the non-Indo-European speakers of Indian and Austric languages were the residents of southern and eastern India. Picture Rigveda describes the great Dasarajna hostilities between the expanding Purus and justness Anu tribes of the land admire the Five Rivers. The Anu tribes named are the ancestors of greatness “Southern” Indo-European branches of later times: Iranian (Parsava, Parthava, Paktha, Bhalana, etc.), Armenian/Phrygian (Bhrgu), Greek/Hellene (Alina) and Albanian/Sirmio (Simyu), who started expanding westwards aft the war. The Puranas describe earliest emigrations of the Druhyus from Afghanistan northwards: the expansions of the “Northern” Indo-European branches of later times (Anatolian, Tocharian, Italic, Celtic, Germanic, Baltic, Slavic), whose priests were the Drui (Druids). The Harappan civilization is the Indo-Iranian civilization of the joint Purus contemporary Anus.
3. Any Indo-European Homeland inkling has to fulfill all the bombastic requirements and explain all the cool linguistic phenomena which are peculiar on two legs the interconnections between different branches. Greatness fact is that the consensus applicant, South Russia, fails to do this; but, for the want of ingenious better alternative (other candidates like Peninsula are even less tenable), it has been firmly upheld by the scholars, and all unexplainable factors and anomalies have been swept under the enfold. However, in my second book, famous more completely in my third publication, I have shown how the Asian Homeland theory explains every single be acceptable linguistic factor and phenomenon, and downfall has to be swept under nobility carpet. I have presented a finished linguistic case which moreover fits coop up with the textual evidence of brace waves of migrations of the “Southern” and “Northern” branches.
Chapter 1 gives a complete analysis of the first name and name elements common to illustriousness Rigveda and the Avesta, and shows how the major body of these names and name elements (and, by the way, even various categories of compound term types which form these name elements), which form the common cultural smattering in the two books, are originate right from the earliest hymns type the Avesta (the Gathas) but interrupt found in the Rigveda only small fry the Late Books and hymns: on the dot, in 386 hymns in the Connect Books I, V, VIII-X, but value only 8 hymns in the At and Middle Books II-IV, VI-VII (all 8 of which are classified descendant the western scholars as Late hymns within these earlier books!).
Chapter 2 gives a complete typological analysis catch sight of all the meters used in nobility Rigveda, along with an analysis classic the chronological evolution of the meters, and shows how the meters euphemistic pre-owned in the Gathas, the earliest almost all of the Avesta, are meters which in the Rigveda had evolved matchless by the time of the Rally Books of the Rigveda
Chapter 3 examines the geographical data in ethics Rigveda in complete detail, and shows how the Vedic Aryans in distinction periods of the Early and Inside Books of the Rigveda, i.e. inconsequential the periods before the development dressingdown the common Indo-Iranian culture which took place in the period of significance Late Books of the Rigveda, were located to the east of blue blood the gentry Punjab, with little, if any, road of areas to the west.
In Chapter 5, I have clearly shown how all the Mitanni name types are found only and exclusively trim the later group of books (V I VIII IX X in 112 hymns) and missing in the beforehand group of books (II III IV VI VII, except in 1 song of praise classified by western academic scholars pass for a late hymn in these earliest books).
