Friends: Get ready. May be you will need a pen and a paper to take notes.
Today, I am laying out all that I ever said about ancient Indian history in a single video.
Well, our story begins just after the great flood of Noah which destroyed the whole world.
Noah is called Manu in the Indian Flood Story. With the help of the Biblical genealogy we are
able to find out that it happened around 3300 B.C. The bible states that Noah had three sons and it
is their descendants that replenished the entire earth. And, here are their portions of lands.
Ham’s land was Africa. His name was pronunced as K-h-a-w-m “Kham” in Hebrew. In India, they have
kept his name in tact. With a title added to it, they call him Kamdev. By the way, Dev is a person
by his good deeds of many animal sacrifices called yajnas, rose to the status of Gods in Hinduism.
However, Google translates Kamdev as Cupid which is not true because Kamdev was the son of Noah
which is Manu and Cupid is the lover of Aphrodite. These are two entirely different characters.
The confusion here is due to the fact that both Cupid and Kamdev are depicted holding a bow and
an arrow in older paintings. So, people got mixed up and concluded that these two are one.
It is the same with Dionysus too. Because some Greeks painted him with a wine goblet in his hand,
they have made him a drunkard, reveler and the one behind Bacchanalia. Again, it’s not true.
Now, do you really want to know what Bacchanalia is all about?
It is a memorial ceremony of a person. Do you see a person whose hands cut off? It is him they are
remembering. Here’s another one, and here’s yet another. Now, who is this person without hands?
We’ll find out soon. But, before that, Bacchanalia originated from Ancient Italy. I would like to lay
out the series of events prior to that. After the flood, Ham was in Egypt along with his son
Cush who was ruling Egypt. Being the Patriarch, he didn’t have a land of his own. His job was to
oversee the operations of the lands belonging to his descendants in Mesapotamia, Canaan, Egypt and
Libya and sort out any disputes that may arise. At this point in time, Gomer, the King of Italy, also
known as Comerus Gallus passed away. Ham thought it was the best time to carve out a place for
himself and he seized Italy. Meanwhile, news came from Mesopotamia that his grandson Nimrod, the
Shiva of Hinduism was killed by the water nymph Kali in Ancient Assyria and she had taken over his
throne as Queen Semiramis. Kamdev, who was Ham, mourned Nimord’s death in Italy. This ceremony was
called Baccanalia because it mourned the death of Baccus the son of Cush. The handless person we saw
prior was Shiva. In India, this event is depicted symbolically as Kali placing her foot on Shiva’s
body and Maha Shivratri is the Indian version of Bacchanalia, with the night vigil, fasting and an
intoxicating drink called Baang just as they get drunk during Bacchanaila. This drinking part is
born of one of Ham’s flawed ideas that when you get drunk one can forget the physical and connect
with spiritual. Now, coming back to our story, we know that Kamdev was the son of Noah. According to
Hindu literature as well as the Jain religion, Kamdev’s brother was the Bharata Chakraborty,
the founder of India. We know it was Shem because India legitimately belonged to Shem.
One can read it in the Book of Jubilees. Moreover, Japheth, the third son of Noah never came to
India. Furthermore, the Indian literatures tell us that Rishabhadev was the father of both Kamdev and
Bharat which are Ham and Shem. This gives away the fact that Rishabhadev is Noah. Actually,
this is where the Jainic history begins with Noah being their first Theertankara. Now, theertankara
is a person who helps one cross this huge gulf of water which we call life and reach the other side
where God is. In light of all these, the claims that India was established by Dushyanta and
Shakuntala’s son or Lord Rama’s brother who also had the same name Bharata are not true because
there had been many more kings in India prior to them. Now, coming back to the Jainic beliefs,
Ham the Kamdev is extremely important to them. They call him Bahubali in their religion which
means “the one with strong arms” and there is an 1042 years old, 57 feet tall monolithic statue
of Ham standing at a place called Shravanabelagola which is situated about 90 miles from the Banglore
City in India. They say it is taller than any other statue in Egypt. Now, why should they
compare it with Egypt? It’s because that’s where Ham the Kamdev came from. However,
a common believer wouldn’t know all this. Do you know why? Ham lived around 3000 B.C, and Jainism
adopted his story around 500 BC which is 2500 years later and their ideas are pretty vague.
Now, there are 24 different Teertankaras in Jain religion. However, Kamdev couldn’t
qualify for one, because of his obviously flawed character, which again, is not made public. Now,
what about his character? Well, Ham the Kamdev was a married man even before the flood.
Indian literatures tell us that his first wife’s name was Preeti. While she was still alive,
Ham married his step-sister Rhea forcefully who was already married to someone else.
She is the one known as Rati Devi in India. And, one of Rati Devi’s children
was the Zeus of the Greek Mythology who the Indians call Indra in the Indian Mythology.
Furthermore, Jains believe that Shem was proud and arrogant whereas Ham was good. According to them,
Shem challenged Ham in a duel in which Shem lost and his kingdom as well, but Ham being a good man,
felt very remorseful that he fought with his own brother and he gave back the kingdom to him and he
went into the forests to lead an ascetic life. And again, they do not know that Kamdev was in India
because he had been expelled by Dionysus out of Egypt since he had murdered Dionysus’ father the
King Hammon of Libya, and Rati Devi, the second wife of Ham the Kamdev was the wife of Hammon.
Meanwhile, from the Greek classic Dionisiaca, we know that Dionysus came marching all the way
to India to punish the barbarians. This does not mean that Dionysus was an enemy of the Indians.
In fact, Shem and Dionysus were allies. In the post-flood world, there were only two political
factions, one is that of Noah which followed Noah’s God Yahweh, and the other one led by
Ham the Kamdev which worshiped Lucifer and the deities of the Abyss. Dionysus, like his father
Hammon belonged to Noah’s faction. That’s why he came to help Shem and banish Ham and his men known
as aboriginals out of India. However, when Ham got the scent of Dionysus moving towards India,
he yielded back the kingdom to Shem and escaped into the mountainous region of Bactria.
There is a claim that he was the Zorastror of the Persians and he wrote their holy book Avesta as
well. Apparently, Ham, when he came to India, had entered India from the South because he
has influenced the Southern Tamil community in a great way. He introduced a lover’s festival called
Kaman Vizah for the young ones, the world famed Kama Sutra bears his name and also Tamil people
celebrate Kaman Kootru even today in the villages of Tamilnadu and in Sri Lanka, which is the
re-enactment of the life of Ham the Kamdev. Soon after Ham’s arrival in India, Cush who had been
expelled along with Ham out of Egypt went to the near east where he established a city named Kish.
We have archaeological record of this city stating that after the flood when the kingship descended
from Heaven it descended upon Kish. This is the city later reclaimed by Sargon the first.
Cush, after establishing the city of Kish moved in to the Northern parts of India along with his
sons such as Rama and Krishna and they started ruling over ancient Indians. This is the Cush
known as Kashyapa in Hindu religon. When all this power shift happened, Shem’s descendants who were
the Brahmins, managed to be the priestly class of people under their new African rulers. The norm
in India became like the descendants of Cush who called themselves Kshatriyas would be Kings, and
the Brahmins would be the temple priests and hold some administrative positions in the governments
as well. This went on for about 2400 years during which the Brahmins had become excessive in their
religious demands on the commoners. It is similar to the behaviour of the priestly sons of Eli which
we read in the bible in the second chapter of the book of 1 Samuel. Well, around the turn of
the 5th century BC, both Mahavir the founder of Jainism and Buddha the founder of Buddhism rose
up against these excesses and started their own religions. Among these two groups, the Jains in
particular chose to glorify Shem’s opponent Ham who was the Kamdev because they hated the Brahmins
who were the descendants of Shem. However, out of these two new religions, Buddhism gained momentum
in India when the Maurian Emperor Ashoka embraced Buddhism in the second half of the third century
BC. This brought down the dominance of Brahmins in India for a brief period until General Pushyamitra
Sunga who was a Brahmin killed the last Maurya King Brihadratha and rose to power around the
year 185 B.C. This is when the Greek influence was still felt in the Indian Sub-continent.
Soon, the Romans came to power. In India there were many rival kings and some aligned themselves
with the super powers such as Rome for protection, which of course cost them a lot of money. It is
during this time Jesus was born. Christianity came to India as early as 52 AD; however,
it didn’t make a big impact in India. Then, the Indian kingdoms and their rulers continued with
a Kshatriya King at the helm, Brahmin Priests at their temples, a trading community, common
folks and the untouchables. This was the pattern by default. Then, in the seventh century A.D,
the Muslim armies invaded India. It was brutal. Later, in the 15th century when the Moghuls
arrived in India, they expanded their Islamic Kingdom. Then came, the Portuguese, the Dutch,
the French and the British from the 17th Century onwards to colonise India,
out of which the British prevailed, the details of which are not hard to find. Today, India is a free
country moving towards Hindu Dominance which does make its minorities jittery. However, I believe
God is still on the throne and He will do what is best for his people. Thanks for watching!
