Dalits Voice has become the darling of our Black sisters and brothers in America, Africa and elsewhere. And this became – possible on their discovering that India’s Black Untouchables and the – American Blacks had a common origin and had many things in common. The fact that both are victims of racism is the single biggest magic factor that brought a flood of goodwill to us from the American Blacks.
The Blacks in US form 15% of the population and India’s Untouchable-comprise 20% of the population. If the Tribals (10%) and Backward Castes (35%), who are also Indias’ original inhabitants and also victims of racism, are included we become 65% of India’s 850 million population.
If the Blacks of the world unite, they will become the single largest population block, and together they can liberate not only themselves but the entire oppressed of the world. Such a wonderful prospect gave a new thrust to this unity of the Black world.
The birth of the Indian Dalit Support Group headed by Dr. Velu Annamalai, a Tamil Dalit intellectual, and Runako Rashidi, a noted American Black historian, and the gift of several books to Dalit Voice, besides the inclusion of our writings in American Black books are all because of these great developments.
A study of Black literature reveals that India’s Black Untouchables have to learn a good lot of things from our American Blacks who are at least 100 years ahead of us. If we make a proper study of the Black literature and emulate their bold tactics and strategies, we too can profit and save struggling for another 100 years.
Hidden truth: As we delved deep into this rich treasure-house of Black literature we struck gold. We discovered the hidden truth that Blacks founded the world civilization, a Black woman was the world’s first mother and Blacks played a great role in shaping the world history. All this came as a shock to us.
Currently, America is undergoing a big Black Revivalist Movement which has brought to the surface many hidden secrets. Some of the Black discoveries, when the whole world comes to know it, will shake the very foundations of science, philosophy, history – if not our very civilization.
The most shocking revelation is that not only the white racists have stolen the treasures of the world’s first and the greatest Black African civilization but made a false claim as their own. The chief villains of this white piracy are what the white historians have frightened us with big Greek names like Alexander the Great, Aristotle, Plato etc. The stark truth, so carefully hidden all these years, is revealed for the first time. You shall know the truth and truth shall free you, says the Bible.
Aryan mischief in India: The Black historians and researches have at last helped us to understand how the Aryan racists in India, forefathers of the white racists, did play the same trick by destroying the Indus Valley, the most glorious civilization of Dalits, and are now trying to call it an Aryan handiwork. In India today, some Hindu nazi historians are trying to re-write Indian history saying that Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, Lothal (Gujarat) are all founded by Aryans and that the script deciphered there was Sanskrit. They also are trying to establish that Aryans are not foreign invaders but are also an indigenous population (Prof. H.M. Kamaraj “Aryan Blut: Bomb” DV Aug. 16, 91 p.18). They have been repeating these lies. And lies repeated 99 times becomes truth at the 100th time.
That means the Black Africans and the Black Untouchables of India have a glorious golden past and once we know it, it will put pride into our broken hearts. Those who forget history cannot make history. You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, said the Bible. Our history has been stolen by the Aryan thugs and pindaris and then these thieves made us forget our history. And once we were made to forget our history, we were stopped from making history.
Prof. George G.M. James, the author of the book, Stolen Legacy, (1954) comes out with startling facts on the white racists and how they have stolen our civilization and claimed it as theirs. It is only after reading this book we could understand the mischief of the alien Aryan rulers in India. Plagiarism was a common practice among the Greek philosophers who borrowed from one another but chiefly from Pythagoras who obtained his ideas from Egyptians. Hindu rulers in India say that Hinduism stands for non-violence because there is no need for violence in India as the slaves of India have been made to enjoy their slavery. Mental bondage is invisible violence.
Formal physical slavery has ended in the USA but mental slavery continues to this day. This slavery affects the minds of all people and, in one way, it is worse than physical slavery. That means the person who is in mental bondage will be “self-contained”. Not only will that person fail to challenge beliefs and patterns of thought which control him, he will defend and protect those beliefs and pattern of thought virtually with his last dying effort.
Slaves enjoying their slavery: If this is so in USA, it is much worse in India, where the Untouchables and even Tribals and Backward Castes plus the “minorities” are not only slaves of the Aryan/upper castes but enjoying their slavery, while at the same time one slave is killing another slave. The Aryans are just sitting and enjoying the fun. The white Aryans have created the myth that the “western world” is the highest form of civilization. As the “westem world” had crooned to itself in narcissistic and ethnocentric abandon, one must remember Napoleon’s dictum that “history is a fable agreed upon”,
Book-Burning: Clearly, the Egyptian-African origin of much of Greek and other European “civilizations” cannot be denied, George G.M. James says.
He recalls the burning of the Egyptian-Ethiopian library at Alexandria, the Inquisition and many book-burnings in history.
The Aryan white invaders of India resorted to more heinous theft and book-burnings. Most of our famous Buddhist centers were ransacked and valuable records stolen. Then they started re-writing Indian history, stealing all our great discoveries and claiming it to themselves.
This book by George James, therefore, is important for the Indian Dalits because we should also write a similar book on the Aryan crimes of that and treason, plunder and pillage. Some works have already come out but a more scholarly attempt is the urgent need of the hour.
George James says: After nearly 5,000 years of prohibition against the Greeks, they were permitted by the Africans to enter Egypt for the purpose of their education. Most Greek students received instructions directly from the Egyptian priests but after the invasion by Alexander the Great, the Royal temples and libraries were plundered and pillaged, and Aristotle’s school converted the library at Alexandria into a research Centre. There is no wonder then, that the production of the unusually large number of books ascribed to Aristotle has proved a physical impossibility, for any single man within a life time.
Greeks were thieves: Another shocking news: – The so-called Greek philosophers were undesirable citizens, who throughout the period of their investigations were victims of relentless persecution at the hands of their own Athenian Govt. itself.
Anaxagoras was imprisoned and exiled; Socrates was executed; Plato was sold into slavery and Aristotle was indicted and exiled; while the earliest of them all, Pythagoras, was expelled from Croton in Italy.
Can we imagine the Greeks making such an about-turn, as to claim the very teachings which they had at first hated and openly rejected? Certainly, they knew they were stealing what they had never produced. And James gives mountains of evidence to conclude that the so-called Greek philosophers were not the authors of Greek philosophy, but the Egyptian priests and Hierophants p.3) who were Africans and Blacks.
Shiva stolen from Dravida’s: The book is very important from our point of view because India’s Untouchables are also the victims of a stolen legacy. Shiva, a pre- Aryan god, was stolen by the Aryans. Krishna was a backward caste Yadava tribal leader whom the Aryans elevated into a godhood to deceive the cow belt Yadavas who constituted the single largest group among BCs who revolted wholesale against the Aryan slaughter of cows and embraced Buddhism. Tirupati, Puri Jagannath, Sabarimala were all Buddhist temples stolen by Aryans.
First shock: Aristotle died in 322 BC – not many years after he had been aided by Alexander the Great to steal the largest quantity of scientific books from the Royal Libraries and Temples of Egypt. But the death of Aristotle also marked the death of philosophy among the Greeks. The two other Athenian philosophers are Socrates and Plato. Every school boy believes that when he hears or reads the command “Know thyself”, he is hearing or reading words which were uttered by Socrates. But the truth is that the Egyptian temples carried inscriptions on the outside addressed to Neophytes and among them was the injunction? “Know thyself”. Socrates copied these words from the Egyptian temples, and was not its author. All mystery temples, inside and outside of Egypt, carried such inscriptions.
Second shock: Similarly, every school boy believes that when he hears or reads the names of the “Four cardinal virtues”, he is hearing or reading names of virtues determined by Plato. Nothing has been more misleading, for the Egyptian Mystery System contained ten virtues and from this source Plato copied what have been called the “four cardinal virtues” – justice, wisdom, temperance and courage. It is indeed surprising how, for centuries, the Greeks have been praised by the “western world” for intellectual accomplishments robbed from Egyptians, the people of North Africa.
In India also, the Aryans did the same. They have stolen our goddesses, gods, our science, Ayurveda, Yoga, our dance, Bharatanatyam, our tribal art and literature, our temples. And today they are making the false claim that it is Hindu heritage. All bullshit. How can barbarians, who drifted to India and had no settled civilization, have a heritage?
Most the Greek philosophers used the teachings of Pythagoras as their model. Greek philosophy is somewhat of a drama, whose chief actors were Alexander the Great Aristotle and his successors in the peripatetic school, and the Roman Emperor Justinian. Alexander invaded Egypt and captured the Royal Library at Alexandria and plundered and made a library of his own with plundered books, while his school occupied the building and used it as a research center.
Common origin of Blacks: George James book helps establish better race relations in the hate- filled world by revealing a fundamental truth concerning the contribution of the African continent to civilization. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free, says the Bible. Consequently, the book is an attempt to show that the true authors of Greek philosophy were not the Greeks; but the people of North Africa, commonly called the Egyptians. And the praise and honor falsely given to the Greeks for centuries, therefore, belong to the people of North Africa, and therefore to the African Continent – the Blacks and the Black Untouchables of India, both having a common origin.
This theft of the African legacy by the Greeks led to the erroneous world opinion that the African continent has made no contribution to world civilization, and that its people are naturally backward. And Africa is full of jungle countries. This is the misrepresentation that has become the basis of race prejudice, which has affected all peoples of all color.
World’s Worst racists are Aryans: Why the Blacks are hated in America? Why the Black Dalits are hated in India? The cause of the hate is Varna (colour) Ashram: Dharma or racism. There is no such thing as right colour or wrong colour. So, on the basis of varna (colour), if hate or love starts that means there is something wrong with the person who hates or loves on the basis of varna. That means such a person doesn’t believe in justice. Racism or caste system – which is nothing but racism – is caused by those do not believe in justice. And for the information of American Blacks and white racists India’s Aryan varna worshippers are the founders of racism. And hence India’s varna racism is more serious and more dangerous than the South African Apartheid.
In India, the Aryan/upper caste/ Hindu rulers ride over 85% of the Indian population, who are the indigenous peoples, using the very same argument. The indigenous SC/ST/BCs and “religious minorities” like Muslims, Christians, Sikhs are kept out of all decision- making places saying that these people are “meritless idiots”, fit to be hewers of wood and drawers of water.
The US Blacks, who now call themselves Afro-Americans, today walk with pride and fighting back giving a sleepless night to the whites only after they discovered their glorious past. They came to know the truth and the truth freed them from slavery. So, the same rule applies to India’s SC/ST/BCs and minorities. They must also re- discover their glorious past and recover their stolen property from the Aryan thugs and pindaris.
Africa called Dark Continent: For centuries the world has been misled about the original source of the arts and sciences. For centuries Socrates, Plato and Aristotle have been falsely idolized as model of intellectual greatness. And for centuries the African continent has been called the Dark Continent because Europe coveted the honor of transmitting to the world the arts and sciences. In India, also the Aryans sold lots of lies like this in the shape of Ramayana, Mahabharata, Gita and all their bullshit. Our greatest heroes and heroines were denigrated as Rakshasas, Banaras, Pishachis, Daityas. Ravana was a great benevolent king whom the Aryan god Rama killed and even today Ravana is being but in the yearly Aryan festival called Ramlila which is made part of Dasara.
Third shock: According to the history, Pythagoras after receiving his training in Egypt, returned to his native island, Samos, where he established his order for a short time, after which he migrated to Croton, (540 BC) in Southern Italy, where his order grew to enormous proportions, until his final expulsion from that country.
Death sentence to Socrates: Consequently, history makes it clear that the surrounding neighbours of Egypt had all become familiar with the teachings of Egyptian mysteries many centuries before the Athenians, who in 399 BC sentenced Socrates to death and subsequently caused Plato and Aristotle to flee for their lives from Athens because philosophy was something foreign and unknown to them.
Egyptian Influence in India: According to Diodorus and Manetho, High priest in Egypt, two columns were found at Nysa Arabia; one of the Goddess Isis and the other of the God Osiris, on the letter of which the God declared that he had led an army into India, to the sources of the Danube, and as far as the ocean. This means, of course, that the Egyptian Empire, at a very early date, included not only the islands of the Aegean Sea and lonia, but also extended to the extremities of the East. (p.11)
Senusret I, during the 12th dynasty (i.e. about 1900 BC) conquered the whole sea coast of India, beyond the Ganges to the Eastern Ocean. He is also said to have included the Cyclades and a great part of Europe in his conquests.
For centuries Egyptian power had been supreme in the ancient world. This was in the 18th Dynasty i.e.., about 1500 B.C. All this clearly shows the Egyptian (African) influence on India.
Egypt was the center of the body of ancient wisdom, and knowledge – religious, philosophical and scientific spread to other lands through student initiates. (p.12)
Aristotle’s plan to usurp Egyptian philosophy was subsequently carried out by members of his school; Theophrastus, Andronicus of Rhodes and Eudemons, who soon found themselves confronted with the problem of a chronology for a history of philosophy. (Introduction of Zeller’s Hist. of Phil, p. 13). This situation has rightly aroused the suspicion of the world, as it questions the source of these scientific works.
Since Theophrastus and Eudemons were students under Aristotle at the same time, and since the conquest of Egypt by Alexander, he made the Egyptian Library at Alexandria available to the Greeks for research, then it must be expected that – Aristotle, Theophrastus and Eudemons not only did research at the Alexandria Library at the same time, but must also have helped themselves to books, which enabled them to follow each other so closely in the production of scientific works (William Turner’s Hist. of Phil. p. 158-159), which were either a portion of the war booty taken form the Library or compilations from them. (p.17)
The period of Greek Philosophy (640-322 B.C.) was a period of internal and external wars, and was therefore unsuitable for producing philosophers. Greek philosophy was therefore the offspring of the Egyptian mystery systems.
The indictment and persecution of Greek philosophers is well known. Several philosophers, one after another, were indicted by the Athenian Govt. on the common charge of introducing strange divinities. Anaxagoras, Socrates and Aristotle were all indicted. Socrates offended the Athenian Govt. simply because he pursued the study of astronomy and probably that of geology; and the other philosophers were persecuted for the same reason.
Christian connection: The schools and libraries which they established became famous throughout the mediaeval world. Science and learning were cultivated and taught. The schools of Cordova, Toledo, Seville and Saragossa attained such celebrity that they, like their parent Egypt, attracted students from all parts of the western world. And from them arose the most famous African professors that the world has ever known, in medicine, surgery. astronomy and mathematics.
All the great leaders of the great religions of antiquity were Initiates of the Egyptian Mystery System: from Moses who was an Egyptian Hierogrammat, down to Christ.
Arab & Berber source: It should also be of interest to know that European scientists like Roger Bacon, Johann Kepler, Copernicus and others obtained their science through Arab or Berber sources. It is also noteworthy that throughout the Middle Ages, European knowledge of medicine came from these same sources. (p.40)
Greek aspirants to wisdom visited Egypt for initiation, and that the priests of Sais used to refer to them as children in the Mysteries. It is said that Pythagoras, a native of Samos, travelled frequently to Egypt for the purpose of his education.
We are also further informed through Herodotus, Jablonski and Pliny that after severe trials, including circumcision had been imposed upon him by the Egyptian Priests, he was finally initiated into all their secrets. He learnt the doctrine of metempsychosis of which there was no trace before in the Greek religion.
Alexandria’s Importance: It is therefore an erroneous belief that the Greeks, on Egyptian soil, and through their own native ability, set up a great university at Alexandria and turned-out great scholars.
That after the death of Alexander in (323 B.C) his vast empire was divided among his generals, and that Alexandria, the new Egyptian capital, fell to Ptolemy. That the city. barely ten years old, soon became the center of the learned world, and that by 300 B.C. the museum (i.e.., the seat of the Muses), was founded, and became a veritable university of Greek learning.
Plato was a coward: Socrates was born in Athens in 469 B.C. He was the son of Supertonics, a sculptor, and Phanariotes, a midwife. He was put in jail and sentenced to death but he drank the hemlock and died.
There are two events in the life of Socrates which demand our attention. (a) He is said to have been completely unknown up to the age of 40 and (b) to have lived a life of poverty. He alone of the three Athenian philosophers deserves the appellation of a true Master Mason. Plato was a great coward and Aristotle was greater still. At the execution of Socrates, Plato fled to Megara to the lodge of Euclid, and Aristotle when indicated fled in exile to Caliches. (p.90)
In dealing with the refusal of Socrates to accept liberation, again we are dealing with a type of behavior, which singles him out as an advanced Initiate of the Ancient Mysteries of Egypt. When Socrates died (i.e.., 399 b.C.), Plato was just 28. His writings are disputed and doubted by modem scholarship. There are 36 dialogues and a number of letters which Plato is supposed to have written but which are disputed and doubted by modern scholarship.
Plato not author of “Republic”: Under these circumstances it is clear that Plato wrote neither the Republic nor the Timaeus, whose subject matter identifies them with the purpose of the Mysteries of Egypt.
According to the textbooks on the history of Greek philosophy, Aristotle was born in 384 B.C. at Stagira, a town in Thrace. The Library of Alexandria was the true source of Aristotle’s large number of books. This Library was immediately ransacked and looted* by Alexander, Aristotle and others who did not only carry off large quantities of scientific books but also frequently returned to Alexandria for the purpose of research,
The question is how did Aristotle, a single individual, come to possess such a vast number of scientific works, a body of knowledge which took the Ancient World 5,000 years or more to accumulate? It is evident that Aristotle’s fame as a scholar has been grossly exaggerated.
Now that it has been shown that philosophy and the arts and sciences were bequeathed to civilization by the people of North Africa and not by the people of Greece, the pendulum of praise and honor is due to shift from the people of Greece to the people of the African continent who are the rightful heirs of such praise and honor (p.153)
Dr. Ambedkar’s works: This is what will happen in India also. Untouchables, who were the creators of Indus Valley Civilization and world-famous Buddhist centers like Nalanda, Textile, are being told by the tiny Aryan usurpers that they are brainless and useless. But once our people are told the truth, they are sure to explode. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the first person to do this job and a lot more follow-up work has to be done.
This is going to mean a tremendous change in world opinion and attitude for all peoples and races who accept the new philosophy of African redemption – the truth that the Greeks were not the authors of Greek philosophy but the people of North Africa. When this truth is known it would change the world opinion from one of disrespect to one of respect for the Black people throughout the world.
It is also going to mean a most important change in the mentality of the Black people; a change from an inferiority complex to the realization and consciousness of their equality with all the other great peoples of the world, who have built great civilizations. With this change in the mentality of the Black and White people, great changes are also expected in their respective attitudes towards each other, and in society as a whole.
Black-Dalit Unity: George James believes that a reformation of this kind is possible, if the best minds of both racial groups co-operate in its accomplishment. Both groups have been the common victims of miseducation arising from a false tradition about the African Continent. This made them develop attitudes according to their common belief: The Whites developed a superiority complex and the Black people, the corresponding inferiority complex. And if we are to accomplish a reformation in race relations it is obvious that both racial groups must combine their efforts in the abandonment and destruction of that mentality which has plunged the Black people into their social plight.
This is also the case in India. The Hindu upper caste boys and girls are fed with all sorts of cock and bull stories and their brains have been fed with false things. So much so, they have become arrogant, aggressive, heartless, insipid. Without producing anything, they have been made to consume what others (SC/ST/BCs and minorities) produce and yet ride roughshod over others. A proper rewriting of Indian history is a must to establish peace in India and this book shall be a guide in that direction.
