भारतीय कालक्रम के मुख्य आधार - Vedveer Arya -

In this talk, Vedveer Arya discuss the various concoctions and distortions among chronology of Ancient India. The chief among these distortions is what Vedveer defined as SBC. According to him – it is the root cause of the chronological problems of world history. SBC is defined as the problem of dating of following important epoch in world history:

1) S - The Epoch of Saka era
2) B - The Epoch of Buddha Nirvana
3) C - The Christian Era

He claims that no one can come to the proper chronology of Indian history without resolving the datings of these three important eras; which are thoroughly distorted but sadly presented as undeniable fact.

In his own words:

“…During the colonial era, Western scholars came to know about the Puranic chronology of ancient India but they could not bring themselves to believe it. Having been born and brought up in Christian society, their subconscious belief was likely based on Biblical chronology. Their racial bias also probably did not allow them to accept the Puranic chronology that was older than the chronology of ancient Greece. Western scholars completely rejected the Puranic chronology as mere mythology rather than history. They questioned the historicity of various royal dynasties mentioned in the Puranas and declared the Ramayan as fiction and the Mahabharata as historical fiction. Interestingly, the same Western scholars selectively accepted the genealogy of some royal dynasties as mentioned in Puranas.

Unfortunately, only literary evidence is available for the history of ancient India beyond the date of nirvana of Buddha. Moreover, in due course of time, Indians completely forgot the real epoch of certain eras creating more confusion in fixing the chronology of ancient India. Western scholars simply concluded that literary evidence was contrary to epigraphic evidence, hence not reliable. They rejected the Puranic chronology and stressed upon modern Indian historical research based on epigraphic and archaeological evidence. Some scholars like John Playfair and Hermann Jacobi have logically argued that the antiquity of Vedic civilization goes beyond 4300-4500 BCE but the majority of Western scholars simply brushed aside the irrefutable facts presented by them….”

In this #IndicTalk, Vedveer Arya discusses the chronology of ancient India and based on some shocking revelations he is trying to adjust the chronology of not just India but also the world, rattling a few settled views of history.
