A few thoughts on the AIT canard spread by European Colonialists, and fanatically espoused by Dravidian parochialists.

I am reading through the history of colonialism in Africa, and there are very strong similarities to what happened in India. /0
Before we go any further: Colonial history in Africa and in the subcontinent, is the same as Church history. To separate the two is to shield the cause from the effect. Colonialism and racism were a result of Church teaching its White flock that they are superior to others. /0A
In late 18th Century - Europeans, sanctioned by the Catholic church, invaded Rwanda. They found two tribes that were coexisting for possibly millennia. These tribes had no history [they had a rich verbal history tradition] of bad blood until then. The church taught them ++ /1
that the fairer-skinned amongst the two - the Tutsi - were a superior race and hailed from the royal families of Egypt. They also preferred dealing with the Tutsi for all government jobs because the other darker-skinned Hutu were "less intelligent". /2
Come 1950, after the end of colonialism, the church fanned the hatred amongst Hutu that they were the original owners of the Rwanda land and Tutsi were fair-skinned invaders from outside. This was necessary because the power structure had crumbled, and the Church needed the ++ /3
support of the majority tribe [which happens to be Hutu]. The church then started openly vilifying the Tutsi as outsiders, and openly supported the persecution; going as far as recommending persecution from its pulpit. A united people were irrevocably split. /4
This continued vilification of one tribe by the Church, led to a mind numbing genocide [1994]. Almost a million Tutsis - men, women, children, invalids - were massacred in cold blood. The West stood by and watched even as there is evidence that they could have prevented it. /5
And who profited from all of this? The American / Protestant Churches. In the end - the Catholic Church issued an apology for its role in the genocide. "You know what? We led to the death of million innocents .. but you know, we are sorry". But their aim was achieved! /6
In the narrative above, switch Aryans for Tutsi and Dravidian for Hutu, and see what is going on in Tamil Nadu .. you have to be blind to not see the parallels. The underlying cause is the same - Church sanctioned European Racism. And the Church won't stop w/o a genocide. /7
What is sadly funny is this: Dravidians are "Dravidians" because the Europeans thought they were lesser humans [less intelligent] than "Aryans" who the Europeans thought were their kin! The dravidians today are unwittingly proving their wilful stupidity, by their continued ++/8
support to the Aryan-Dravidian divide.

The reason the West is so keen on AIT/AMT even now, is that the West refuses to admit that brown skins can produce something as refined and superior as Sanskrit or Vedas. It is their belief that only white skins are civilized. /9
Again sadly, it is the brown-skinned Dravidians who are playing along with the racists.

The Dravidians are condemned to repeat history and lose their roots, because they refuse to learn from it. /10Fin
