African History

“Black Dravidians” and The Indus Valley Civilization

Published

6 months ago

February 12, 2024

Many descendants of India’s first civilizers, particularly those of “Black” Dravidian heritage, currently face marginalization and are relegated to lower societal roles within the Hindu system, both socially and economically. Their crucial role in founding the Indus Valley Civilization is often overlooked or outright denied by some Hindu extremists and revisionists who dispute the historical impact of the Aryan invasion on India’s social, political, and religious structures.

This denial extends to claims that contemporary India shares an unbroken continuity with its ancient past, negating the Dravidian people’s significant cultural and societal contributions. Such narratives are part of a broader pattern of overlooking or diminishing the achievements of black civilizations globally, with certain segments of the scientific and academic communities also participating in these misrepresentations.

The pictures of Dravidians in the video are cherry picked. Yes, we're darker than North Indians, but nobody is pitch black. We range from wheatish to dark brown. Many of the pictures show Adivasis (the original inhabitants of India). The proto-Dravidians (IVC) conqured and subjugated them in the South just like the Aryans did in the North.

Bro, please speak on the colonization of Habeshas in Ethiopia. You'll find a LOT of sources about the history of it, and how it intensified in the late 19th century with Menelik's colonization of southern Ethiopia through guns acquired by the Russians, French and Italians. I find that the experiences of non-Habeshas in Ethiopia shares parallels with that of thd Dravidians

There is no Aryan invasion.. they are all either Islamists all the way from Turkey & European nations. There is no so called untouchables in Prior to both invasions. The British groomed a section of Hindus to spread the untouchability to divide Hindus. Who originated African slavery ? There are similarities between African slavery & Untouchability concepts. Just stop blaming Hindus.

Dravidians are not Black. In fact, the Indus Valley people are a combination of First Hunter Gatherer and Iranian Neolithic Farmer. They are brown if anything, and the facial reconstructions show caucasoid nose.

And the First Hunter Gatherers of India though black in color are distinct from Sub Saharan Africans.

DNA analysis of the Rakhigarhi skeleton of a woman has shown that she had a gene which does not exist any longer in large groups of populations today. This particular gene is only found scattered throughout India , Iran , Afghanistan and and the countries like Kazachstan and Turkmenistan . This gene is an ancient gene which has been lost through the millennia by extensive intermixing of the the different races in India. This gene has not been found in Africans that's way we can't say that they were Africans or descendents of Africans . They were rather descendants of the ancient Iranians

The Indian sub continent was part of Africa at one time with Australia right next to it. The Indian sub continent broke away from Africa, drifted up north east and hit the Asian continent creating the Himalayas. The people who were in the sub continent at that time looked very much like the Aborigines of Australia. You can call them dravidians if you want. But then migration started (migration – not invasion). For hundreds of thousands of years, the Aryans from Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia migrated to Indian sub continent through Khyber pass in Afghanistan, mingled with the locals and that is what we have today in India. There is no marginalization of dravidians in India. Actually all the best brains of the past had been from the South relating both to religion as well as Mathematics and literature. The Aryan invasion, if at all it is worth stating, is when the Muslims from Central Asia attacked India, killed many and established a kingdom in India. Millions of cental asians came to India as part of Babur's Mogal army and they are settled in India now.

As a dravidian telugu, I will always advocate for an independent south india. We are constantly being held back by those north indians. For thousands of years we have been placed below them and have been constantly discriminated. If you guys don't know, south india is the most economically advanced region in India, yet gets little to none return on taxes. As a result, many people are advocating for an independent south india called Dravida Nadu. Most likely this country won't be created, but in the off chance it does, we will finally achieve our glory as dravidians again.

All White Europeans are Albinos, (mainly, but not exclusively, the Albinos of India’s Dravidians). They ALL came from CENTRAL ASIA. In order of their appearance in Europe, they are the Germanics (who first entered Europe circa 1,200 B.C.). These first Albinos melded with the Greeks and Latins to form the late period Greek and Roman civilizations. Later, around the first century A.D. Mongols started chasing Dravidian Albinos out of Asia. First came the rest of the Germanic tribes, followed closely by the Slav's, then around 600 A.D. the final Dravidian Albino group – the Turks, were chased out of Asia. It should be noted that the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc. are Mulatto groups, comprised of ancient Black and Albino Mongol phenotype people.

Contrary to their lies, White Europeans are most certainly NOT native to Europe – Only the Black man is Native to Europe – and everywhere else on this Earth too. This presentation forces the simple logic that you can't GO or MIGRATE, to the place where you started out or ORIGINATED. Since this History of White people, written by the most authoritative white source: Encyclopedia Britannica clearly traces how Albinos ENTERED EUROPE: that should put to rest the lie that Europe’s Albinos are NATIVE to Europe.

Human history is rich and what I find is lots of lies that are created from truths. this is why we have this hidden knowledge in the west. This video has filled in blanks and helped me get a better perspective of the true history which hasn't been told. I'm 42 now and I wonder why this wasn't what I was taught. I actually know why. That I knew before true human history. We are fed lies and smoke screens and doublespeak and inverted language and talk. Thank you again for this true history lesson ❤

Black people are now trying to appropriate Indian civilization.😂😂😂. Dravidians have nothing much genetically to do with Black Africans. A Dravidian is genetically closer to an Englishman or a Japanese than a Nigerian.

Can you please contact the channel Sagnam Talks and sort this out? Caste system and Aryans? Because these terms throw a lot of confusion depending on who says what. You both are attempting to clean up history, we might well do this thoroughly and honestly. I believe that there will be sensitivities lurking, but I aim for a respectful debate. This can only be done by bringing people to gather.

AFRICANS VISITED AMERICA 2000 YEARS BEFORE COLUMBUS , 11 UNDENIABLE PROOFS ; Black History.

AfroArtista Films

11 Reasons Tp Prove That Africans Were in America 2000 years Before Colombus.
Let me take you on a journey through some of these fascinating pieces of evidence of African presence in America 2000 years before Columbus. Take them with a grain of salt if you have to, but I think they are worth some consideration.
1. Olmec Heads: The colossal stone heads created by the Olmec civilization in present-day Mexico, which date back to 1500 BCE to 400 BCE, feature distinctly African facial features. These heads feature facial features such as broad noses, full lips, and round faces that clearly resemble those of Africans more than the indigenous populations of the Americas. Tell me this is not a black man right there. The detailed and realistic nature of the Olmec heads suggests they were based on real individuals. It is no wonder not surprising that some researchers contend that these features indicate an African presence in pre-Columbian America.

2. African Artifacts in the Americas: Artifacts such as cotton from Africa and tobacco pipes found in pre-Columbian sites in South America have led some to speculate about transatlantic contact. In addition, metal artefacts with similar metallurgical techniques to those used in West Africa have been found in pre-Columbian American sites.

3
Before the next point kindly give us a like. I know to you it’s a simple click, but to us it means a lot.
3. Botanical Evidence: Certain plants like the bottle gourd and the sweet potato are thought to have originated in Africa and Asia but were present in pre-Columbian America, suggesting possible ancient transoceanic contact.

4. Linguistic Evidence: Some linguists claim to have found similarities between certain Native American languages and African languages. Some proponents argue that there are similarities between ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and symbols found in Mesoamerican writing systems, such as those of the Maya. The Mandinka word “makala,” meaning “rice,” is compared to the similar-sounding words in some Native American languages.

Dr. Clyde Winters points to shared vocabulary and phonetic similarities, such as the word “yu” in Mandinka meaning “to give” and a similar-sounding word in the Olmec language with the same meaning.
Leo Wiener, in his early 20th-century work “Africa and the Discovery of America,” cited examples such as the Wolof word “tem” (to cut) and its similarity to the Algonquian word “temagun” (an axe).

5. THOR HEYERDAHL’S RAFT EXPERIMENTS: The Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl demonstrated with his expeditions (Kon-Tiki and Ra) that it was possible to travel across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans using ancient boat-building techniques, suggesting that such voyages could have occurred in ancient times.

6. Ancient Maps: Some historical maps, such as the Piri Reis map, allegedly show parts of the American continent with a level of detail suggesting pre-Columbian exploration, potentially by African or other non-European civilizations.

7. Skull Analysis: Studies of certain skeletal remains, such as the Luzia Woman found in Brazil, have shown features that some anthropologists argue resemble those of African or Australoid populations rather than Native American populations.

8. Accounts from Early European Explorers: Some early European explorers, such as Vasco Núñez de Balboa, reported encountering dark-skinned peoples in the Americas upon their arrival.

9. Cultural Similarities: Some researchers point to cultural parallels between African and American civilizations, such as pyramid building, similar religious practices, and iconography, as potential evidence of contact.

10. Presence of Black peoples in Asia, Australia and the Pacific. If Black people can be found in as far as the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia many Islands in the Pacific, why can’t they be found in the Americas? I mean it makes no sense for the Americas to be the exception right?

11. Genetic Studies: While controversial and not universally accepted, some genetic studies have indicated the presence of haplogroups in Native American populations that are also found in African populations, suggesting ancient intermingling.
