Bharat: Lost Land, Lost History
The Aryan Invasion Theory has been challenged again and again by innumerous writers and historians. However, not many understand the importance of this. What was so special about these Aryans that scholars are so vehement about? Why is establishing the truth about the ancient civilisation so important to so many? I feel that there is a lack of work on this. Works on the invasion theory, the Aryan scriptures, Aryan cultures, and their sciences are all distributed and broken up. There is no compendium of collective information about the achievements of India’s great ancestors. This work attempts at bringing all that information together. It starts where the whole controversy started: the excavation of the cities of Mohenjodaro and Harappa. From there it moves on to the Aryan Invasion Theory and in a few pages brings together the efforts of various scholars whose work on the issue has been nothing short of extraordinary.
It then tells the reader of the various scriptures and writings of the Aryans. This includes the 2 great epics, the Veds which include the Puraans and the philosophical prize-winners the Upanishads. From there we tackle the claims of many that in the Aryan culture we find the beginnings of modern religion, science, mythology, and culture. This perhaps is the most biased part of the work as the writer himself feels deeply on the issue. However, an attempt has been made to inform the reader of both the bias of the writer and the questionable by nature validity of the information presented. One must remember that an account of history is always biased due to the emotions of the person involved in the telling. This is precisely why writings like this find birth today.
The work also deals with various myths and fantastic stories related to the Aryans. While the issue of Hitler’s Aryanism has not been dealt with in detail, the root of that cause has been examined. The claim of many that ancient India was the cradle of civilization has been examined. It has been shown how the Aryan tradition and literature influenced the Greeks, as can be seen in the remarkable similarity between Ramayan and Mahabharat on one side, and the epics of Troy and Thebes on the other side respectively. The reader is informed of Vedic sciences and philosophy along with its daughter religions Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism’s vast beliefs.
I believe that it is the responsibility of every student who has received an education in a state school to give something back to the state. This state contains many institutions that offer curricula of quality primary education and is home to several above-average secondary or college institutions as well. Students who receive the state's gift of education should show their gratitude by using that knowledge to improve their community.
Although the Vedas and the Upanishads express common themes of the Aryan world view, they differ greatly in genre and emphasis. Underlying both texts are the core ideas of the religion: the ubiquitousness of atman, Brahman’s origins of non-being, the non-existence of physical reality, and the subtle, intangible existence of ultimate reality. But while the Vedas is mythical and ritualistic, the Upanishads is theological and devalues ritual.

The Transformation of the “Indian Problem”. In this paper, I plan to examine the marked transformation and the history of the so-called “Indian Problem.” The idea of an “Indian Problem” began with the arrival of white settlers in North America, and for them, it was a problem of safety, security, and land acquisition. Around 1890, the “Indian Problem” became an issue of how to help the Indians go extinct humanely, or to assimilate into white culture.
Hinduism also known as the Vedic culture, originated with a race known as the Aryans. They migrated to the Indian subcontinent thousands of years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The Aryans brought their own culture and soon after began to evolve to conform to their environment. Their original homeland which is believed to be located in current day central Asia, was known as the lost Airyane Vaejahi which translates to, “The seed land of the Aryans”. As the Aryan’s changed, the beginning stages of Hinduism began to form through Greece, Italy, Germany, France and Scandinavia.

Students who graduate from Charles Darwin University are expected to have particular qualities that help to maintain citizenship within their future workplace. In the Forensic Science workplace social responsibility is a fundamental attribute needed for an employee to effectively communicate, work in a team and achieve optimum job performance. Qualities such as effective communication and teamwork will be displayed unconsciously if Forensic Scientists are able to work under socially responsible conditions. Corporate Social Responsibility is the most important attribute of a graduate employee looking to work in Forensic Science because it helps individuals align their work with helping their community. Although, without the aid of effective communication skills and the ability to work in a team, employees are left with work efficiency somewhat to be desired.
Chapter 16 in the book Tradition & Encounter: A Global Perspective on the Past written by Jerry H. Bentley and Herbert F. Ziegler is mainly about Islam and Hindu kingdoms, and the meetings of their traditions, production and trade in the Indian Ocean Basin, and the influence of Indian society in Southeast Asia.
I could not have written this paper without at least experiencing either Hinduism or Buddhism religions for myself. I have visited the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in quest of answers to better understand the Hindu faith. During my visit at the temple, I have read and understood from notes posted near the beautiful marble walls of the mandir or in the books sold at gift shop that Sanatana Dharma (eternal religion) also called Hinduism took birth in the Indus valley and preceded the Aryan invasion of northern India around 1500 BC. These Aryan have developed most of the components of the current Hindu tradition (Hinduism, Belief and Impressions pp. 1-3).
The purpose of this paper is to provide a reflection on the field trip to the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago. After a brief introduction to the context, the Watercress tool will be used to highlight my observations. In our study of the Hinduism, the class visited The Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago (HTGC). This active temple is a house of worship that serves thousands of devotees as they pay homage to a diverse variety of idol and spiritual gods. Taught as one of the oldest religions in the world, it accepts all religious belief systems and God.
I would like to conclude by stating that this paper is an attempt to understand in depth the basic values, social norms,traditions and history of my culture; the culture of India. Research on this paper enlightened me on India's war laden past, evolving traditions, regional diversity, but , national unity and reconfirmed my own identity. Respect for one's own culture leads to acceptance and regard for other cultures'.
I am entirely empathetic. Empathy is the attribute of my character, which allows me to be patient with children, compassionate with strangers, and passionate in my pursuit of systemic injustice. I truly believe compassion will equip me to be a wonderful teacher and leader; however, it is also one of my greatest concerns. I need to learn emotional boundaries, as I am one to give my heart away. Already I am learning the need to process the circumstances, and comments shared with me by the sweet students I am currently serving. I cannot even begin to fathom the level of brokenness I will be entering into as a corps member, if selected. So with that in mind, I have been wondering how may I change my mindset? How may I set healthy boundaries?
To put it bluntly, my greatest skill is not exactly “great”. It has not saved communities nor starving children nor the growing financial debt that will soon hit me like a train. My greatest skill, I believe, is empathy. My empathy; a deep and curious feeling that links me to sensations and people. And although my empathy does lead me to syncing a little too deeply with another person to the point where I almost am that person and I almost feel how heavy, or light, a weight on their shoulders may be, I do find it to be an incredibly useful and human tool.

For a really long time i always thought that i was a pretty compassionate person. In the midst of that i did always talk about myself in conversations with people. I made myself the focus point of every conversation and never really listen to what people had to say because it didn’t involve me. I would be that guy that pretends to listen and give people the fake laugh when they talk. It always bothered me if i wasn 't the center of the story. If i wasn’t receiving the attention then i would be upset. Nevertheless i did think my work with children, teenagers, and adults are what made me a compassionate person. When i was able to speak about God to the people i worked with… with the hope to change their lives in some way i thought that made
