Scientific evidence that Hindu civilization is more than 15,000 years old

[Shankranthi]

I am not talking about lost in translation from Sanskrit to English.

I am talking about translation from Sanskrit to Sanskrit.

What are you trying to prove? Just be clear about it man we cant go in circles

Sanskrit to Sanskrit does not need translation, just understanding and context.

Its sanskrit to english translation which goes horribly wrong as just demonstrated a few posts back.

Point being, sanskrit should not be translated by those who neither know sanskrit nor the references the text makes.

E.g. being "Middle of Meru mountain" can literally mean that there is a star inside the Meru Mountain. And that is how someone ignorant of the other reference of Meru and Dhruv star can make.

Either due to honest ignorance, or due to malicious intent and bad faith (british).

So you are saying that Sanskrit has remained the same for 290000 years?

i do not understand how anyone today can claim to read understand and translate a language that is ancient to say the least.

1. Yes. Sanskrit has remained unchanged because it cannot change. It has built in error correction because of its strict rules.

2. One can understand it because it has a unbroken continuity of scholarship attached to it. Ever since the first Vedas were written. Because Hinduism is a single continuing civilization.

The Vedas are memorized and studied and understood even today. Same is true for the very many hindu scriptures.

The people of IVC followed monotheistic religion and buried the dead according to various sources

Makes you wonder if they truly were monotheistic, how come they met such a tragic fate?

 

[El Sidd]

sounds legit.

it is illogical to suggest that a language has remained the same for such a long time.

humans hardly remember what happened 200 years ago and you are trying to tell them that people in India speak the language exactly as it was 15000 years ago.

please man atleast meet me half way

I cannot counter your "belief" with facts.

You apparently believe its "logical" to form judgment about a language you know nothing about.

How does one counter that ? One don't. Its pointless.

I can counter you on facts, not on beliefs.

I for a fact know that most rivers of the world are explicitly mentioned in the Vedas.

Belief comes in when you say that it has remained unadulterated for 15000 years. Logic dictates otherwise

In my opinion total annihilation occurs only if a nation starts playing god or starts inventing them "unchallenged" (and all the evil associated with it). The Israelites did their best to kill their later Prophets but they exist to this day

Do we know anything about them other than their glorious sewage system, dancing girl or the priest with the shawl? We haven't even been able to translate their texts.

But one thing is certain. They met a horrible and tragic fate. The question we all should be asking is, why? What on earth were they up to in their final days?

We can speculate but i was discussing this with one of my confidants and we were discussing if they really did disappear.
Maybe they are just living there and could not keep up in the Iron age and got subjugated by others.

I have a question.

If the concept of marriage comes from Abrahamic religion, then why Indians (Hindu people) do marriage?

Is marriage a human/social concept, or a divine religious concept?

Some person with well knowledge of anthropology or history can tell it.
