The Dravidians Sudanese /Ethiopian Indians

Africa extended into what is now called India. The Dravidians or original peoples sometimes

referred to as Dalits are Ethiopians/Africans. The term Dalits means Bound and the name may

have been given to them by those who enslaved them and put them in a racist caste system at

the lowest levels. the Dalits or Dravidians were the indigenous peoples of India or the Eastern

Ethiopians or Eastern Africans.

"The distinction between the black-skinned Sudroid races of southern India and the fair-skinned

Aryan races of northern India is not an invention of English colonialist historians; it is a feature

mentioned by the earliest Greek travelers who visited south Asia centuries before the adventof Robert Clive.

The ancient Greeks considered the Africans and Sudras (modern Dalits and Dravidians) as

belonging to the same Èthiopian' stock. Èthiopian' was the Greek word for `Negro', and

Greek authors referred to the African Negroes as `Western Ethiopians' and to the Sudroids as

Èastern Ethiopians' (ie. Eastern Negroes) [ cf. Herodotus.VI.70 ]

Witness the following citation from Herodotus -

" The Eastern Ethiopians, [ ie. Sudras ] differed in nothing from the other Ethiopians, save in

their language, and the character of their hair. For the Eastern Ethiopians have straight hair,

while they of Libya are more woolly-haired than any other people in the world. "

" [I]n other respects India is not unlike Ethiopia, and the Indian rivers have crocodiles like the

Ethiopian and Egyptian Nile; and some of the Indian rivers have fish and other large water

animals like those of the Nile, save the river-horse: though Onesicritus states that they do have

the river-horse also. The appearance of the inhabitants, too, is not so far different in India and

Ethiopia; the southern Indians resemble the Ethiopians a good deal, and, are black of

countenance, and their hair black also, only they are not as snub-nosed or so woolly-haired as

the Ethiopians; but the northern Indians are most like the Egyptians in appearance. " Arrian,

Ànabasis Alexandri, Book VIII (Indica),' Chapter 6, tr. E. Iliff Robson (1933)

The Two Ethiopia's (Kush Dwipa):

"I might almost say that the same animals are to be found in India as in Aethiopia and Egypt,

and that the Indian rivers have all the other river animals except the hippopotamus, although

Onesicritus says that the hippopotamus is also to be found in India. As for the people of India,

those in the south are like the Aethiopians in colour, although they are like the rest in respect

to countenance and hair (for on account of the humidity of the air their hair does not curl),

whereas those in the north are like the Egyptians. "

It is sometimes alleged that these eminent historians are not referring to the Sudras in general,

but only to the Pygmies of the Andamans. This theory is refuted by the following statement of

the Periplus, which no doubt describes the tall and black Malabari Dravidians -

Beyond the gulf of Baraca is that of Barygaza and the coast of the country of Ariaca, which is

the beginning of the Kingdom of Nambanus and of all India.

"That part of it lying inland and adjoining Scythia is called Abiria, but the coast is called

Syrastrene. It is a fertile country, yielding wheat and rice and sesame oil and clarified butter,

cotton and the Indian cloths made there from, of the coarser sorts. Very many cattle are

pastured there, and the men are of great stature and black in color. The metropolis of this

country is Minnagara, from which much cotton cloth is brought down to Barygaza. In these

places there remain even to the present time signs of the expedition of Alexander, such as

ancient shrines, walls of forts and great wells. The sailing course along this coast, from

Barbaricum to the promontory called Papica opposite Barygaza, and before Astacampra, is of

three thousand stadia. "Periplus.41

The Makran was referred to by the Greeks as `Gedrosia', ie. the land of the black people. Black

Sudroids form a sizeable portion of the population in this region to this day, and formed one of

the groups referred to as Èast Ethiopians' [ Kondratov, p.145 ]. Indeed, several geographers

considered India merely another extension of Ethiopia or Abyssinia -India as a whole originates

from the north, embraces all the area which is Persian, and continues as far as Egypt and the

lands of Ethiopia. "

The First to populate India

When we see pictures of Indians and India most of us have no knowledge of the Dravidians or

Dalits, we see black people but somehow we do not relate to them as part f our family.

The Caste system was instituted by the ruling Aryan class that invaded India. Here a some

comments on that history:

"The Dravidians entered India before the Aryans, before 2000 B.C., after passing throughMesopotamia, Iran, and Baluchistan where the Brahuis, a Dravidian race, still live. On grounds

of cultural affinities such as inheritance through women, snake cults, organization of society,

and structure of temples, some historians connect the Dravidians with the Elamites and

Mesopotamians. The evidence of Indian skulls from the Indus Valley indicates that the Mediter-

ranean stock became established in north India before the Harappab Civilization came into

existence around 2000 B.C."

"Of particular significance is archeologist B. B. Lal's contention that the Dravidians probably

came from Nubia, Upper Egypt. This theory would give them among other things their

Mediterranean features and dark complexion. Lal writes: "At Timos the Indian team dug up

several megalithic sites of ancient Nubians which bear an uncanny resemblance to the

cemeteries of early Dravidians which are found all over Western India from Kathiawar to Cape

Comorin. The intriguing similarity extends from the subterranean structure found near them.Even the earthenware ring-stands used by the Dravidians and Nubians to hold pots were

identical." According to Lal, the Nubian megaliths date from around 1000 B.C."

Here is an excerpt of an essay by Mukesh Paswan:

"Distorted Race Theory"

The term "distorted race theory" in application to the Dravidian movement, which is compared

to Nazism and Hindutva. The latest genetic research, which conclusively proves that the

Dravidians and Dalits belong to the same Negroid stock.

The poisonous casteism, which the Indian iconoclasts suffering from, is entirely Aryan and

Brahmanic origin. Historians have conclusively established that caste did not exist in the pre-Aryan age. It was introduced by racist color-conscious Aryan invaders who wished to "maintain

their racial purity" from "contamination" with native Dravidians.

During the Harappan Golden Age, that the Dravidians and Dalits existed as one people, known

as `Sudras'. The division between Dravidians and Adi-Dravidians is purely artificial and the

result of Aryan invasions, with the former choosing to adopting Aryan culture and submit as

slaves to the Aryans and the latter battling the savage Aryans, retaining their freedom in the

jungles. Adi-Dravida means - it means `Original Dravidian'.

`Dravida' is Sanskrit :

Dravida is of Sanskrit origin and the term `Sudra' and `Adi-Sudra' are now more in vogue for

this very reason. The word `Sudra' is attested from the Vedic Dark Ages, and this word is of

African origin, whilst the terms `Dravida' and `Dalit' are much later innovations. The following

diagram shows how the Dravidian word `Sudra' is in fact derived from `Sudan' :

(Central Africa) (Black Indian Caste)

Sanskrit

The word 'Hindu' has its origin in Sanskrit literature. In the Rig Veda, India was referred to as

the country of'Sapta Sindhu', i.e. the country of seven great rivers. The word 'Sindhu' refers to

rivers and sea and not merely to the specific river called the Sindhu (Indus), now in Pakistan. In

Vedic Sanskrit, according to ancient dictionaries, 'sa' was pronounced as 'ha'. Thus 'Sapta

Sindhu' was pronounced as 'Hapta Hindu'; similarly 'Saraswati' was pronounced as 'Haravyati'

or 'Harahwati'. This is how the word 'Hindu' came into being. The ancient Persians also referred

to India as 'Hapta Hind', as recorded in their ancient classic 'Bern Riyadh'. That is why some

scholars came to believe that the word 'Hindu' had its origin in Persia. The Greeks who invadedIndia under Alexander the Great, dropped the 'H' completely and used the name Indoos or

Indus which later led to the formation of the word 'India'.

Aren't we all Hapi?

Hapi (Hep, Hap, Hapy) was probably a predynastic name for the Nile - later on, the Egyptians

just called the Nile iterw, meaning 'the river' - and so it became the name of the god of the

Nile. ('Nile' comes from the Greek corruption Neilos - of the Egyptian 'nwy' which means

'water'.) He was mentioned in the Pyramid Texts ("who comest forth from Hep") where he was

to send the river into the underworld from certain caverns, where he was thought to have lived

at the 1st Cataract.

Is that HAPI another connection between the Africans in Africa and those in India and beyond?The depiction of Hapi himself, though, was that of a rather well-fed, blue or green man with the

false beard of the pharaoh on his chin.

Sanskrit is a language which is mother of all languages. Sanskrit, S-a-n-s-k-r-i-t, Sanskrit

language. So this is the original language of this..., not only of this planet. In other planets also,

this language is spoken. -

Swami Prabhpada

Dravidian Origin: Another view which is not accepted in the west, but which is proposed in

India is that the common proto language of Sanskrit was none other than some proto Dravidian

language or the language spoken by the Indus people.

Sanskrit is listed with many of the sacred languages [priestly] as in heirogylphs [Egyptian]

Geez [Ethiopian], original Hebrew and many others.

The term `Dalit' largely refers to the Hindi-speaking Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

The term `Adi-Dravida' (original Dalits) is most generally used by educated `Dravidian Dalits'

to refer to themselves. Far from repudiating their Dravidian identity, such persons have

reclaimed it from those amongst whom it exists in a purer state:

The ancient Indians were described by Professor Lynn Thorndike as

The early Aryan literature of India, the hymns of the Rigvedas, which, it is commonly agreed,

date from about 1000BC speak of the people whom the proud Aryan invaders found in India as

black sinned John Jackson Man, Go, and Civilization.

The Indus valley Civilization was a work written by Sir Mortimer Wheeler and on the book

jacket it was reported that:

In 1922 at Harappa, a small town in the Punjab, and in 1922 at Mahenjo-daro in Sind,

evidence was discovered of an evolved urban culture nearly 2,000 years older than any

previously recognized in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent"From the distribution of the sites

foist explored, the culture was named the Indus Valley Civilization"

" a third body of evidence come from the city Chanhu-Daro which was excavated in 1031. We

are now aware of the staggering 1000 Indus Valley cities covering a cultural area of more than

1100 miles east to west and 800 miles north or south, all which are pre-Aryan.

the revelation of the Indus Valley Civilization, constructed and enveloped by the south Indian

Dravidians, descendants of the Nile Valley, ahs led to a complete revision of Indian History. Dr.

Runoko Rhasidi Nile Valley Civilization.

The Ganges River, sacred to India is named after an Ethiopian King of that name who

conquered Asia as far as this river. J.A. Rodgers - 100 amazing facts about the Negro.

Theres more!

The word Hindu is found, of course, in Persian literature. Hindu-e-falak means the black of the

sky and Saturn. In the Arabic language Hind not Hindu means nation. It is shameful and

ridiculous to have read all along in history that the name Hindu was given by the Persians to

the people of our country when they landed on the sacred soil of Sindhu." (R. N. Suryanarayan,

Universal Religion, p 1-2, published from Mysore in 1952.)

The word Hindu may be as old as the Indus Valley Civilization. To find the meaning of Hindu

one ought to look at the term Hindu Kush (killer of Hindus?/or Kush meaning the Biblical

Ethiopian). Who were the people, who named this mountain range as Hindu Kush? Why these

mountains were called the killers of Hindus? As I mentioned earlier, the Indian subcontinent

was inhabited by dark complexioned people before the migration of Caucasian tribes from

Caucasus.

The fair skinned Caucasian tribes who lived on the Northwest of Hindu Kush Mountain range

called the Indian subcontinent as the land of Hindus (land of black people). The Northwest

expansion of the inhabitants of Indus Valley was prevented by of Hindu Kush Mountains.

Whenever the plain dwelling Hindus attempted to cross these mountains, they met death due

harsh terrain and heavy snow. That is how these mountains were given the name Hindu Kush

by mountain dwelling Caucasian tribes.

Hindu means black, he would have been hesitant to accept it, as the inferiority complex of

blackness is deeply imbedded in the psyche of Indians. Most Indians except the Dalits

consider themselves as the descendents of Caucasian tribes, who ruled over India before the

onslaught of Muslims. So for Hindus to accept that Hindu means black would make them

descendents of native Indians, who are black people That is why Hindus insist that Hindu is

the corrupted form of Sindhu [River]. Indians of today are the products of thousands of years of

miscegenation between Caucasian groups and native Indians.

In Pashto, the language of the dominant Afghan tribe of Pashtoons, Hindu is pronounced as

Indu (h is silent). The Greeks called the people of Indus Valley Indos or Indus and hence, the

name India. The Muslims called it Hindustan. http://www.dalitstan.org/sol/hindu.html

Here's even more!

F. Willord states: It is certain that very ancient statues of the Gods of India have crisp hair

and the features of Negroes. Some have caps Others indeed seem to have locked curled

But this will not account for the thick lips and the noses of the ancient images; nor can it be

reasonably doubted that a race of Negroes formally had power and preeminence in India. In

several parts of India the mountaineers still have resemblance to Negroes in the countenance

and hair which is curled and has a tendency to wool. [Asiatick Researches, Vol. III, London].
