Talk:The Story of India

I saw 1st episode of this series on Discovery channel yesterday. There are some serious objections to finding root of so called Aryan people in Turkmenistan based on Victor Sarianidi's archeological excavations.

1. BMAC complex excavation which is refered in the episode started in 2200 BC & extinguished in 1900 BC i.e. for some 300 - 400 years. There were gold/silver jewelery finds there. Before South African Gold mines findings in recent times, there was only one source of Gold and that was India. So,how come intricate Gold & Silver jewelery came to Turkmetistan ( i.e. BMAC ) area ? BMAC shows seals that are found in Indus Valley Civilization excavation in large sum. So, it shows that IVC had bigger contacts with BMAC.

No mention of such points ? But, arbitrary acceptance of some Aryan people migrating to India.

2. There is no mention of IVC people's achievements which was unparallel of concurrent civilizations of Egypt or Iraq or China. IVC had all planned towns with bricks of ratio 4:3:2 which is best ratio & that's used even today. Finding of maths ruler with smallest unit and uniform weights & measures throughout IVC towns which encompasses more area than W.Europe. IVC's famous bronze dancing girl statue & small terracota statues of persons in Yoga asans postures are not mentioned ?

When you are telling about India's true story then why are you hiding this very important thing ?

3. How such advanced & cultured people accepted so called Aryan language of Sanskrit which is hard to learn even for current Indians ? So, how ancient Indians accepted this `foreign' language and changed all their teminology of maths & science & astronomy in which they were quiet advance than any other civilization ?

If any term is new to some culture and that word's equivalent is not found in their language then it's accepted directly. Like Yoga , Karma , Dharma etc. Sanskrit words in today's western world.

4. Mentioning of Soma plant but it's portryed wrong that Aryans came with Soma plant from central asia. Infact RigVeda or any Sanskrit do not remember anything about so called central asia motherland or migration in India which would have been very significant for any aryan people who happaned to change language of ancient indians.

Infact series of events mentioned in RigVeda & other vedas,Puranas, Upnishad & other ancient Sanskrit scriptures indicate period much ahead of 1500 BC. Also, when DNA testing of south indian is shown in the episode then why it's not mentioned that there is no genetic change in Indians' DNA from 4500 BC to 500 BC period.

Aryan theory is theory and not a scientific fact. So, the episode is not portraying the True Story of India.
