It turned its scriptures and sages
into fantasies and exaggerations.
This served a social, political and economic purpose of domination,
proving the superiority of Western culture, religion, or political systems
and the Aryan invasion theory was often quoted for this purpose. It
makes Hindus feel that their culture is not the great thing that their
sages and ancestors had said it was. It causes them to feel ashamed of their culture
that its basis is neither historical nor
scientific but only imaginary, while being actually rooted in invasion
and oppression. It makes them feel that the main line of civilization was
developed first in the Middle East and then in Europe and that the
culture of India is peripheral and secondary to the real development
of world culture. Such a view does not appear to be good scholarship
or archaeological proof but only cultural imperialism. Western
Vedic scholars did in the intellectual sphere what the British
army did in the political realm discredit, divide and conquer the
Hindus.
