Shrikant Talageri

Shrikant G. Talageri is a self-taught scholar of history, culture and linguistics. He knows more than 20 languages and is an expert of comparative linguistics. Along with history, philosophy, culture and linguistics he is also interested in music, wildlife and comparative religion.

Shri Talageri was born and brought up in Mumbai. His literary sense was highly developed while he was studying in school and he used to write stories. When he was first asked to recite one of his stories in his childhood, he was praised but encouraged to write it in his mother-tongue – Konkani.

Shri Talageri accepted the challenge but writing in Konkani made him aware of the many linguistic problems involved, and he developed a strong interest in linguistics (learning different alphabets, reading about the languages of the world, etc) He even invented an alphabet for Konkani.

This is when he came up against the Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT) and found it extremely dubious. The kinship between the languages spoken by most Indians and by most Europeans, jointly known as the Indo-European (IE) language family, is usually explained through the Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT). He has made a special study of the Konkani language, his mother tongue. He has devoted several years, and much study, to the theory of an Aryan invasion of India, debunking it without an iota of doubt. He has also interpreted the Vedas with the help of the internal chronology of Rig Vedic Rishis within Rig Veda with the help of genealogical records.

He establishes that Rig Veda was composed by sages living in Saraswati river valley between Saraswati and Ganga rivers (Haryana) who were patrons of the kings who ruled in this area. These patron kings were especially the Puru and particularly the Bharata branch of the Purus. Talageri equates the Vedic-Aryans to the Purus and the Iranians to the Anus a sibling branch of the Purus. Other sibling branches includes the Drahyus, the Yadus and the Turvasus.

History is a very potent subject. Politics can be, and very often is based on it. A nation which forgets, or falsifies, or willfully ignores, or glosses over the lessons of its history is a nation heading towards doom. And, conversely, when a nation is intended to be sent to its doom, a process of falsification of its history can be profitably launched.

Shrikant Talageri is one of those scholars who have come forward in recent years to challenge the colonial missionary model imposed on world history during the era of Western-Christian imperialism. In his book, The Aryan Invasion Theory: A Reappraisal, he had conclusively established that India was the original homeland of the Indo-European family of languages. In Aryan Invasion Theory and Indian Nationalism, he has confirmed equally emphatically that India was also the original homeland not only of the Indo-Aryans but also of the Indo-Iranians and the Indo-Europeans.

The location of the Original Homeland of the Indo-European family of language is the single most significant problem in the study of World History. This language family has members all across Europe and Asia. The question of the homeland of this diverse family has been hotly debated among linguists, historians, archaeologists and, especially in India, also among political writers of every brand.

In Rigveda and the Avesta: The Final Evidence Shrikant Talageri, claiming to present “the final evidence” on the Indo-European Homeland question, goes a long way indeed in disproving the Aryan Invasion Theory and establishing India as the land of origin of the migrations that spread the Indo-European language family over half of the Eurasian continent, from Bengal to Portugal and from Lanka to Norway. Thus his theory generally categorized under out of India (OIT) theory of origin of IE Family is firm and a strong contender to the well-established IE homeland theories.

Shri Talageri has written four books so far: The Rigveda: A Historical Analysis 2000; The Aryan Invasion Theory: A Reappraisal; The Rigveda and the Avesta: The Final Evidence; and Aryan Invasion Theory and Indian Nationalism.

Shri Talageri debunked the Aryan Invasion Theory and Aryan Migration Theory so completely and conclusively that there remains no iota of doubt about it. And he achieved this against all odds. He worked in a bank, his entire working career, which was his source of livelihood. He did his scholarship only in the spare time. Without the benefit of the resources of a University and without the recognition that the paraphernalia of the University system provides, Shri Talageri labored against all odds and against all academic hostility, slander and opposition.

By debunking the Aryan Invasion Theory, Shri Talageri has taken a major step in the decolonization of Indian mind. He is one of the foremost voices of decolonization of India. His name should be famous all over the world, as one of the most brilliant of scholars who helped debunk a fraud, but sadly the only way academic hegemons can try to counter his work is to ignore it. This Doctorate by Indus University is a humble step in establishing the rightful place of Shri Talageri in the world of scholarship.

Subramanian Swamy

Dr. Swamy was born in 1939. In a lifetime spanning over 8 decades; in his multi-dimensional career – he has been a statistician, an economist, a politician, a lawyer, an educationist and more than any of this he is a hero for millions of Indians.
In simple words: He is a Prodigy; a Genius; a Maverick and for some – He is an Enigma. And this explains why he is followed by more than 85 lakh people on social media; without hiring any professional media expert.
Dr. Subramanian Swamy is today nationally known and widely respected for his ideological conviction, for his commitment to furthering democracy and market economy in the country. He is also known for his scholarly credentials, and a blemish free political career.
He has been a Member of Parliament several times and held Cabinet positions in the Union Government, most significantly as a Minister of Commerce, Law and Justice. It is a mark of his brilliance that he has managed to make and keep friends and allies across the whole convoluted spectrum of Indian politics.
Dr. Swamy has a long and continuing academic association with the world famous Harvard University (since 1962). In 1964, Dr. Swamy earned his Ph.D. two years after he entered Harvard which was a record. He joined as Harvard faculty soon after.
He was awarded a doctorate in Economics by Harvard after his research with two Nobel Laureates, Simon Kuznets (uuniversally acknowledged as the Father of Econometrics.) and Paul A. Samuelson.
Dr. Swamy is a joint author with Professor Samuelson in a path breaking study on Index Number Theory. Dr. Swamy was the youngest faculty member of the world famous Economics Department at Harvard University
He was also the friend of the brilliant scientist J.B.S. Haldane. Under his encouragement Dr. Swamy wrote his first paper, “Note on Fractile Graphical Analysis”, a critique, disproving Mahalanobis’ claims of originality for his own statistical invention. The pre-shaped sample which Dr. Swamy proved mathematically, was nothing but the first derivative of the Lorenz Curve.

He also wrote a paper titled “The Swadeshi Plan: An Alternative Approach to Socialism”.
India of the 1960s and early 1970s was in the grip of the socialists. A whole generation of Indian intellectuals had been brainwashed into hard-core Communism.
He has taken up issues of Hindu Renaissance, and has had remarkable success in the courts arguing as petition-in-person. He has played crucial roles in the following cases:
● The Ram Setu Case
● The RamJanmabhoomi Case
● Re-opening of Kailash Mansarovar Pilgrimage
● Nataraja Temple Case
He was also instrumental in:
● Restoring India-Israel Relations

Rajat Mitra

Rajat Mitra is a psychologist who has worked with the grief and trauma of people across many countries. He is a writer and a speaker on issues related to historical injustice and collective trauma. He has spoken in United Nations and also to universities, groups and audiences across the world. He has worked as a psychologist with Islamists in Thailand, terrorists in Indian prisons and also lectured to law enforcement and prison officials, human rights workers across Asia on a large number of issues.

A social entrepreneur and an Ashoka Fellow from 2004, he received United Nations Public Service award in 2011 for his work on gender justice. While enrolled in a program for world leaders in Harvard’s Program for refugee trauma, Rajat realized how art and literature can bring to light historical wrongs and trans-generational trauma which made him write his novel ‘The Infidel Next Door’, an exploration on healing and reconciliation of an intractable conflict. The book is based on events and characters that tell the reality of what happens when some of us decide to confront injustice and fight for truth after hearing the voice of conscience.

His journey towards becoming a psychologist was full of challenges. It has been an experiential path and less academic, full of obstacles and challenges that made him question his path in life. He chose a path less traveled by psychologists and worked more as an activist and human rights worker with the poor and the marginalized. He found giving hope and direction with the grief stricken more meaningful that made him search for theories of existentialism, other therapies and religious studies of Vedanta and Buddhism. It gave his life a meaning and he decided to be a psychologist and an author. Victor Frankel’s ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ and Elizabeth Kubler Ross’s books have been his key influencers that made him what he is today. During his thirty-year career, he has worked on the grief of different groups from schizophrenics, those going through severe emotional disturbances to prisoners and radicalized youth facing life terms.

Rajat made the transition to a writing career after realizing that the stories reposed in him by survivors should not be lost to mankind. He felt a responsibility that if he doesn’t pen them down on their behalf, their voices will not be heard. Many of the survivors he worked with had died or disappeared without leaving behind any written record. Many survivors still live but are unable to pen it down in a language as they live in a mental universe chained by their past. They are survivors from many countries. The diverse groups he worked with include women and children, widowed and orphaned by separatist violence. Many are survivors of sexual assault in wars and victims of torture and atrocities.

‘The Infidel Next Door’ his first book is a story about the people in Kashmir and how their way of life abruptly came to an end facing a genocidal violence. Bigotry and intolerance by Islamists of Kashmir towards the Hindus permanently erased the last traces of a civilization that was one of the grandest and oldest in the world. He tried to give a shape to this story of annihilation in his book. But at a deeper level it asks a fundamental question if Hindus and Muslims of India can live together and if so how?

At present, Rajat is working on his second novel ‘The Island Without a Shore’ that describes what it was like to be a revolutionary in British India and how they battled against inhuman slavery. He writes about their lives who resisted the British effort to crush the Indian civilization and spirit of the people and how it survived.

Rajat received the United Nations Public Service Award for Gender Justice in 2011. He received Nasscom Social Innovations Honors and EdelGive Social Innovation Honors for Gender Justice in 2010. He received these awards on behalf of the organization.
