The life and times of Valmik are shrouded in history which lacks authentic records to fix the period of prolonged Aryan-Dravidian struggle. History, if one can call it history, was recorded by the wily and wicked Aryans who naturally deprecated the Nagas and Dravidians. Most of the Aryan texts were never written. They were first memorised and after hundreds of years were written down with much distortion, mythical symbolism and sometimes downright lies. There is much chaff and little wheat in the Aryan/Hindu texts. Nevertheless, we can piece together the life and mission of Valmik (and his father Vanu Porchetta’s relationship with the Nagas) from fragmentary evidence of the ancient texts and modern archaeology.
According to Prof. Vogal’s research Varna Naga was the King of the Nagas, a regent of the Western quarter and also the God of Sea Varnu Porchetta and Valmik were the inheritors of the Harappa tradition.
Reign of Nagas: In Bhagwat Puran, Sikand 6 chapter 18 and in the Ramayana Uttarakhand, serge 19, Valmik’s father was named Varnu Parchetta. The Valmiki Ramayana edited by Griffith RTH (in English) in his introduction says: Glory to him whose fame is ever bright.
Glory to him, Parchetta’s holy son Whose pure lips quaff with ever new delight
The nectar-sea of deeds by Rama done Hail, arch-ascetic, pious, good and kind
Hail, saint Valmik’s, lord of every lore
Hail holy Hermit, calm and pure mind
Hail first of Bards Valmiki, hail once more.
Valmik belonged to the Naga tribe, who were the non-Aryan Dravida’s, according to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
What is the importance of Valmik to the 20th century Valmik’s (Dalits)? Brahmins tried their best to destroy our literary and historical past. The caste system was thrust upon us as divinely originated. But there is clear evidence that Valmik challenged the class/caste system by telling his two disciples to stop Rama’s Ashvamedha yajna horse. Noted scholars agree that the last and of the Ramayana looks forged as it is different in style from the rest of the Ramayana. Brahmins also tried to vilify Valmik.
Dr. Ambedkar Verdict: Our religious and political leader, Babasaheb has proved that the Hindu/Aryans had made the Dalits shudra and ati-shudras. That means we the Ati-shudras-Valmiki’s – the followers of Valmik have had a glorious past with marvellous, brave and ideal traditions,
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar said in his historic speech as he embraced Buddhism at Nagpur that the Sudras and Ali-Sudras were Nagas. They were defeated by the Aryans and hence downgraded as Dasas or slaves. That is why Babasaheb chose Nagpur city to embrace Buddhism.
Sudras and Ati-Sudras were once the rulers of India. They had inhabited the Indus Valley before the Aryan hordes drifted into India. Rig Veda VI 27, 5 speaks of a Dasa king named Marchant who ruled over Hariyuppa (modern Harappa). The Aryan hordes led by Abhayavartichayama deceitfully attacked and killed him.
It is also described in Rig Veda chapters 1, 100, 18 that Indra had grabbed our lands, divided and shared them among the Aryans for their benefit.
Nagas superior to Aryans: The Rig Veda proves that Sudras and Ati-Sudras were intellectually superior to Aryans. These evidences are supported by RC Majumdar who mentions about Dasas Indus Valley Civilization in his book (The Vedic Age).
Degradation of Nagas was planned under a wicked master plan. First through a campaign of annihilation. In the sixth mandala of the Rig Veda there is a description of Indra’s campaign against the Asuras. He was called there Aradhana i.e. the killer of Asuras or destroyer of Asuras. The second campaign to bring down the level of non-Aryan was their intellectual decay of sudras. This is supported by the Brihaspati Smriti and the Gautam sutra (Ch. XI. 12)
Sudra Shambu murder: A Sudra Rishi, Shambhu, mastered the Vedas. For that he was killed by Rama himself as a punishment to the Sudra. Mahabharata has another Sudra youth, Eklavya, who had surpassed even Arjun in the art of archery. For that fault, the wicked Brahmin, Dronacharya, chopped off both his thumbs and permanently crippled him.
I admit that Indra is also addressed as Asura in some Rig Veda hymns. He might have changed side and associated with the Aryans. That makes no different to us. It has been proved that Indra defected to the enemy camp.
Our ancestors: So, who were our ancestors? Siva, Maya, Agni, Mitra and Varuna, Pracheeta – all non- Aryan deities could be the ancestors of Nagas. Non-Aryan deities were described as animals. For instance, Ganesh was shown with elephant head and Hanuman with a face of monkey. This conspiracy is exposed by two well-known historians, Keith and Hopkins.
Serpent Worship: The name of the author of Ramayana signifies anthill, the favourite haunt of the cobra which indicates his Naga ancestry … They appear in the Rig Veda as enemies of Indra and are serpent worshippers. Yadavas, the tribe to which Krishna belonged, were also serpent worshippers.
Zahavi of Deccan, the Kur of Chhota Nagpur and certain princely families of Mysore claimed descent from the Nagas. (Ref. Majumdar RC (Ed), The Vedic Age, London 1951.
So, the Valmiki followers of Bhagwan Valmik are descendants of Varnu Parchetta and Valmik who belonged to the Naga tribe. Varna Pracheeta was the chief of non-Aryans. The only existing temple dedicated to him is on the island of Bali.
