FALL OF SINDH and

 the FIRST JAUHAR

The Arabs kept trying to invade India write from 636C.E but it was only in  710C.E under the leadership of Md.Qasim they finally conquered Sindh because of their ship being looted by natives during its stop by and Daher the then ruler of Sindh did not curb it because of which the caliph was so enraged and sent Md.Bin Qasim to invade Sindh and a war broke out in which Daher was killed. Md.Bin Qasim forcibly marries one of Daher's wife and the other one commits Jauhar. This is first documented episode of Jauhar in Indian history much before padmavathi.

The daughters of Daher- Parimal devi and Surya devi were packed of as gift to caliph and once they go there, they hatch a plot and tell the caliph that 'we have already been used by Md.BinQasim so we are not pure enough for you' ; the caliph got furious listening this and doesn't even thinks to call back Md.BinQasim who is having a victorious lap in Sindh. He was taken back in a leather bag because of which he died of suffocation. This news then reaches the two princesses and then they tell the caliph that they lied to him only to avenge his father's brutal murder, with this the caliph is so exasperated and the girls were put to death.

What is Aryan invasion  (1800-1500 BCE)  theory? Foreigners from the north are believed to have migrated to India and settled in the Indus Valley and Ganges Plain from 1800-1500 BCE. The most prominent of these groups spoke Indo-European languages and were called Aryans, or “noble people” in the Sanskrit language. It was GERMAN linguistic MAX MULLER who in 19th centaury proposed this theory.  DEBUNKING ARYAN INVASION THEORY A lot of western scholars and regrettably few Indian scholars too argue that, civilization moved into India, entitled as " Aryan invasion theory ", but the genetic studies proved otherwise. People moved out of India. It's tragic that after all the evidences that prove this theory is a myth, still our Indian history textbooks are firmly following this myth. Nothing has been revised.  PURANIC EVIDENCE: ANAR PURANAS actually speak about people moving out of India. There is a story of king yayati and his sons. Yayati has five sons. Yadu  Turvashu Anudruhy
