Dr Raj Vedam in his talk on ‘The Story Of Ancient India: From The Deep South To North’ mentions the evidence of knowledge systems and Pan India cultural similarity. The speaker deep dives in ancient southern history and demolishes the Dravidian claims in favor of a pan-Indian identity.
He analyzes the latest available papers on genetics, archaeology (2019), and roundup along with past evidence of what they imply for the ancient history of India. Dr Raj Vedam mentions how the astronomical model is common to India. He states that the names of the Nakshatras in the Northern and the Southern India are not much different and even if there are regional variations, the similarities are more. He talks about how the Max Mueller dates can be demolished using the Astronomical model.
About The Talk:–
Dr Raj Vedam talks about his approach to Genetics and argues that genetic results cannot be globalised as it requires models, methodology, data, samples and claims.
Dr Vedam talks about similar cultural practices across time and geography and emphasises on the theory of cultural continuity of civilisation. He reiterates that India is united by its ancient culture and heritage and its identity is that of Dharmic civilisation. According to him, the destruction of Indian identity by malicious forces must be contested and neutralised with evidence-based claims.
About Speaker:
Dr Raj Vedam holds a doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering with many years of multi-disciplinary experience, and has developed a strong research interest in the history of sciences, mathematics and technology. His research shows unacknowledged but significant contributions of ancient Indians to sciences and math, impacting several civilizations over different periods of time.
While Western texts on the subject enforce a parochial narrative sourcing all sciences and math from ancient Greece or Rome or Egypt, Raj Vedam presents contrary facts and evidence to show their indebtedness to the Indian civilization. He has presented his findings in over 200 public talks, several teacher training workshops, several research publications, and offers two courses on the same at Hindu University of America.
