Descriptions of the kings of Magadh in the Puranas

were fabricated, historic records were destroyed,

false synchronization of edicts and coins were

created to connect them to Ashok of Maurya

dynasty, and in this way misguided the whole

world

The fabrications.

The example of the mutilation in the Bhavishya Puran is one of the

most potent evidences that reveal the style of the working of the

British. It evidently surmises that first they fabricated and incorporated

the desired date of an historical personality in the original manuscript,

whatever they wanted. Then they employed efficient scholars to write

the full page or the full chapter that had the fabrication by exactly

imitating the writing style of the original. In this way when the imitation

was ready to the desired standard, they destroyed the original sheetsand replaced them with the imitated ones. Now an original-looking

manuscript was ready for circulation which was in fact the fabricated

one.

When the Venkateshwar Press printed the Bhavishya Puran, as a

general professional policy, they must have looked into more than one

manuscript to ascertain the correctness of the matter, and because

that was the only kind of manuscript available, so it was printed thatway. Other printers copied the same thing which was printed by the

Venkateshwar Press.

With this reference it becomes evident that the dynastical

discrepancies in the descriptions of the rulers of Magadh, which are


2/8



found in the printed volumes of the Puranas like Vishnu, Matsya, Vayu

and Brahmand,may also be the work of the same people.

There is also a possibility that in certain old manuscripts, while copying,

the person may have made some minor mistakes in rewriting thenames and the ruling period of the kings. But, in that case, there must

also have been such ancient manuscripts of the same Puran that would

have correct names and figures, because there were a number of

copies available of all the Puranas at that time. So it was fully possible

to get the correct version of the names and the ruling period of the

kings of the dynasties of Magadh by comparing all the available

manuscripts of those Puranas which describe the dynasties of Magadh.

But it was not done, because the English people were not interested in

correcting the dynastic statements; they were interested in damaging

the statements so that they could find an excuse to disregard the

authenticity of the descriptions of the Puranas.

They had almost all the available manuscripts of the Puranas in their

vast libraries and they had all the possible facilities to reconstruct and

fabricate the manuscripts. Thus, under the above circumstances, it is

most logical to believe that they must have destroyed thesemanuscripts (the entire manuscript, or only the required part of it)

which had the correct statements of the kings of Magadh and kept

those few which had some discrepancies; and, at the same time, they

must have also added new discrepancies and fabricated the

manuscripts of the Puranas according to their desired scheme. In this

way, they created a master copy of each Puran with those dynastical

discrepancies and, accordingly, fabricated the rest of the copies of

those Puranas that were in their possession. These copies were made

available for circulation. Later on these fabricated copies were

published which are available nowadays.

There are only eight dynasties from Brihadrath to Andhra that are

described in the four Puranas with the names of the kings and their


3/8



reigning period. But in the existing available copies they dont exactly

match with each other. The pronunciation of their names and their

reigning periodvaries. They are supposed to be exactly the same, but

they are not. At some places this discrepancy is enormous.

For example: In the Matsya Puran there is a description of only 6 kings

in Maurya dynasty whose names are mostly unmatched and are not in

proper sequence and who ruled for (6 + 70 +36 + 8 + 9 + 70) 199 years.

But the concluding verse at the end of this description and in the same

chapter tells that the total number of Maurya kings was 10 and their

reigning period was 137 years. Such drastic discrepancies can never be

the copying mistakes even if the most sloppy person is doing this job.

Its a clear case of deliberate fabrication.

The last thing is that, except the dynastical discrepancies, all the

available Puranas are still in a perfect shape. Their Divine references,

stories, teachings, technical descriptions, philosophy and the ancient

history, everything is well coordinated and well established.

When were these fabrications done?

You may be interested to know when was that done? Its easy to find

out. Jones gives his last statement in 1793, and after 39 years in 1832

H.H. Wilson, the President of the Asiatic Society of London, publishes

his commentary on the Vishnu Puran in which he gives a comparative

view of the dynastical discrepancies of all the four Puranas. In this way

he establishes a ground to criticize all the Puranas. Thus, it is clear

that these fabrications to distort the dynastic dates and the

pronunciation of the names of the kings of Magadh were done in theearly 19th century. Thirty-nine years were good enough time for them

to fabricate the Puranas.

The ingenious trickeries.

(1) The fabrication and the mutilation in the dynastic records of the

Puranas, and its subsequent presentation by H.H. Wilson in his

commentary on the Vishnu Puran, was such an ingenious work oftrickery by the English people that confused every Indian writer and

they couldnt detect the fraud. The writers like Narayana Sastry and

Krishnamacharar also got confused by this trickery and all the writers

thought that the dynastic descriptions of the Puranas were faulty.

(2) Not only that, they did something more which was worse than

that. They promoted and produced some of the religious books (the

Smritis and Grihya Sutras etc.) that had certain impious interpolationswhich showed that Hindu Sages killed and ate animals. They

destroyed the true originals, kept the corrupted copies of those books

for circulation and publication, and then said, See, your own books

are saying that, and in this way all the western writers got the license

to openly abuse the Hindu religion. This trickery also befooled the

whole world.

Such interpolations would have been done by the Chatriya Kings ofolden days as they loved to eat meat. So, to justify their such habits,

they employed Sanskirt scholars to add such passages of meat eating in

our hand-written religious books, which later on remained as

collections in the Hindu society.

When the English people came to India and started collecting our

handwritten scriptures they discovered those impious interpolations of

meat eating in the religious books of rituals and Smritis etc. It was intheir favor, because they wanted to destroy our religion and culture.

So, using the influence of their ruling power, they enormously collected

our books and employed hundreds of scholars to reorganize and sort

out the books according to their choice. In that collection there must

have been some non-interpolated books in their unblemished form.

Those books would prove hazardous to their scheme, so they were

later on carefully destroyed.

This was the period when the members of the Asiatic Society of Bengal

were actively involved in producing such literatures that degraded andabused Hindu religion, and its president Sir William Jones, the obedient

servant of the British, was wholeheartedly busy finding ways of how to

blemish the greatness of Hindu scriptures and condemn the Divine

history.

It is thus very obvious that those people, to achieve their aim of

defaming Hindu religion, must have also done a lot of fabrications and

would have interpolated such verses in Hindu religious books whereverthey would have found it convenient to do so; and later on they must

have destroyed the true and uninterpolated handwritten books.

They knew that Hindus adore their Sages, Saints and acharyas. They are

vegetarian and have great regard for the cow. Thus, with one blow,

they tried to crumble the faith of the Hindus in their Vedic Sages. They

vigorously promoted such ideas which showed that Vedic brahmans

not only ate meat but they loved to eat meat as a must. In this way theyimposed their personal characteristics upon Hindu Sages.

The Greek gods and goddesses were pleased with animal sacrifices,

Roman gods were of the same kind, and the God of OT loved to

demand frequent animal sacrifices from each and every house. Thus,

because such things were in their own religion, the English people, tried

to abuse the Vedic yagyas and the Vedic religion in a similar way. Could

any sensible person imagine the depth and the extent of the wilfulnessof those people who promoted such frauds to delude the minds of the

Hindus from their own religion?

In those days, in the late 19th century, there were three major

publishing companies in India, Shree Venkateshwar Press of Bombay


6/8



(1871), Nirnaya Sagar Press of Bombay (1864) and Chaukhamba

Vidyabhavan of Varanasi (1892). Most of the religious books and

scriptures were originally published by them. It should be noted that it

was the prime ruling period of the British in India. So it must be

understood that the manuscripts that were produced by the English

people were unhesitatingly printed by these publishers. Whether they

did it knowingly or unknowingly, it cant be said, but the fact was that

for them only those copies were available for printing.*

Thus, on one side, the English people got those fabricated religious

books published and destroyed the true originals; and, on the other

side, they showed to the Hindu community that it is their own religious

books that say such things. In this way, their ingenious trickery befooled

the Hindu society, Hindu scholars and also befooled the whole world.

Now you know the truth. So, wherever such impious verses or passages

are seen in our printed religious books you must know that they are the

malicious gift of the rulers of India of those days.

False synchronization of edicts and coins.

To support their fabricated ideology of Chandragupt Maurya being in

300s BC, they did a lot more fabrications and manipulations. There

were two kings in Magadh dynasties: Ashokvardhan, the grandson of

Chandragupt Maurya, who was in the 15th century BC, and

Samudragupt Ashokaditya (Priyadarshin), the son of Chandragupt of

Gupt dynasty, who was in 4th century BC.

Samudragupt was called Samudragupt Ashokaditya, or Ashok, or

Ashok-the-Great or Ashok Priyadarshin. He was called Priyadarshin

after adopting the Buddhist religion. But he was generally known as

Ashok. He had a huge empire that stretched up to Punjab, whereas

Ashokvardhans kingdom was very small. It was the existing Bihar


7/8



province of India. Ashok (Samudragupt Ashokaditya) established a

number of monuments throughout his kingdom.

Taking advantage of the similarity of their name, the English people,

manipulatingly ascribed all the edicts of Samudragupt Ashokaditya toAshokvardhan who was the grandson of Chandragupt Maurya. The

period of Chandragupt Maurya was already pulled down from 1541 BC

to 312 BC by Jones and it was subsequently followed by the other

European writers. So, whatever ancient coins and edicts of that period

(3rd to 4th century B.C.) were found, they tried to patch it up with

Ashokvardhan (Maurya), which, in fact, were related to Samudragupt

Ashokaditya. In general, they fabricated and created such records that

showed wrong historic dates of all of the important historical figures

like Panini, Buddh and Shankaracharya etc.

In this way their writers constructed an enormous amount of biased

literature against Indian religion and history that flooded all the

libraries of India and of the world, which became the basis for all

other writers to follow the same line of negative concepts about

India; and thus, the glory of our scriptural Dignity was suppressed

under the weight of their fabricated net of forged ideologies.

They spoiled the social structure of India along with its national developments.

The policy of the Britishers to create personal embitterment in the

community, the emphasis on the English education, to represent the

Vedic religion in a most demeaning manner, to keep the Indians under

the grip of poverty by not promoting the industrial developments of

India, and to own the big commercial companies themselves, damagedthe entire social structure of India. As a result, the common people of

India lost their national consciousness. They forgot that the welfare of

India is their own welfare and the damage to India is their own damage;

and thus, a deep instinct of personal selfishness grew in the hearts of

the Indians from which they couldnt recover.


8/8



The nineteenth century and the twentieth century were the prime time

in the history of the world when major social, industrial and scientific

developments happened and the prosperity of a country touched its

heights. But, during that time India was only sucked of its resources and

was left far behind because of the ruling policy of the British. Two

hundred years of loss in the field of commercial, industrial,

technological and scientific development is such a big thing which can

hardly be recouped.
