Royal Chronology and History of INDIA (Bharat):


Anus & Purus Bhrgus Jahnus
Generation YEAR Yadus Drhuyus Ikshvakus
Vasisthas (Bharatas) (Bhargavas) (Bharatas)

Pre-historic Period - First Humans in India


1 2 million B.C.E. Earliest hominids in India
50,000 1 million B.C.E. Oldest Human Tools in World
100,000 500,000 B.C.E.
127,000 100,000 B.C.E. Homo-Sapiens migrate into Asia

133,000 10000 B.C.E. Indo-European Migration


Between 10,000 and 4,000 B.C.E., Indo-Europeans ('Aryans') migrated into India from the NorthWest. Prior to their migration, India was populated by the
Dravida ('Dravidians'; Mediterranean origin) primarily with some Tibeto-Burmese (Oriental) and Austro-Asiatics (Negro). We're starting to find clues to the
133,050 9000 B.C.E. Dravida dominance in early history by analyzing linguistic patterns of peoples (Brahui) that use a gutteral la nguage related to Tamil. (IE or 'Aryans' were of
white caucasian race and Dravida were of dark caucasian race.)
133,100 8000 B.C.E. Naveli Cori First Indian City - Pre-Surat Early Farming
133,150 7000 B.C.E. First Major Indian city - Mehrgarh
133,200 6000 B.C.E. Saraswati Cities

Pre-Dynastic Era
Although we do not have much evidence to prove the validity of the Pre-Dynastic lineage (other than what is documented in the Puranas), we also
do NOT have any sure way to conclusively disprove it. Therefore I am including it for completeness.
Dera Swayambhuva Manu (the first Manu -
1 5060 B.C.E. Archaeological Svayambhuva 'Adi Manu') is Adam.
His wife, Saurava (Haurava) is Eve.

Methodology, Sources and a Request: (mouse-over cells to see comments)


>>>
Methodology - the methodology to build this timeline was as follows:
1. Compile and bring together lists of Royal Dynasties,
2. Create a timeline associated with these dynasties,
3. Relate king's lists to each other to determine LINKAGE POINTS,
4. Integrate ANCHORS into the timeline.

Request for Academic Assistance:


>>>

This timeline must be thoroughly vetted by an academic effort in order to gain more credibility by the academic community
and become part of the official educational system in India and the world. I am not an academic. I am a critically-minded,
Indian-American who has put a great deal of time these past 4 years into this ongoing project. What I want to see and what
we need to have is at least one full-time PhD scholar work on this timeline as part of a Doctoral Thesis and produce a book
as the output (with the Royal Chronology India Timeline in an Appendix and associated website). Areas where more work is
needed include (but are certainly not limited to):
1) Map all the kings of the 10 books of the Rg Veda against the kings in this timeline to both add depth to this timeline and to pin down
a more accurate timeframe for the composition of the Rg Veda. Continue this effort to the later Vedas.
2) More information about all the royal dynasties of Persia and creating a solid LINKAGE POINT between these lists and Indian King's
list (especially at the Zarathushtra point - which is supposed to correspond to a timeframe of the later Vedas).
>>> 3) More information about the ancestors and descendants of Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) and Mahavira (tied to archaeo. evidence)
4) More information about the 24 Jaina Tirthankaras and determining the historical validity and timeframes of as many of these 24
leaders/law-givers as is possible (assuming that many of them have an historical basis).
5) More information about the chronologies of South Indian dynasties
6) Inclusion of lists of priestly teacher-student disciplic successions (Guru-Parampara)
7) Try to name and locate in ancient literature some of the SSC cities thereby creating more archeo-based 'ANCHORS'.
8) Decipher the 'Indus Script' tablets in order to understand the culture, religion, economy of the SSC and map it into Indian literature.

The need is great and it truly requires a full-time effort by a qualified and motivated individual. I will support that individual
(or individuals) as best I can. If you have any recommendations for someone who can fill this role, please contact me at
rajmohanka@hotmail.com Thank you.

Each day of Navratri is devoted to one avatar:

Mahakali came into being to kill two rakshasas, Madhu and kaitabh. After the deluge (Pralay) a lotus grew out of Narayana's navel with Brahma seated on it.
But along with him these two demons were also born -- and they wanted to kill Brahma. In answer to Brahma's frantic prayers, Mahakali, who stayed in Lord
Vishnu's eyes, left him and he rose to fight these demons for 5,00 years. mahakali changed the demon's mindset and instead of fighting they sought Vishnu's
blessings.
Once, Mahishasura defeated the gods and began ruling in heaven. The gods prayed to Lord Vishnu and Shiva. These gods emanated very strong light from
their bodies which turned into Mahalakshmi and killed Mahishasur.
Mahasaraswati or Chamunda eliminated Shumbha and Nishumbha. She was conceived from the powers of God Vishnu. Chamunda also killed another demon,
Raktabeej, who could reproduce as many more of himself from each drop of his blood that fell to the ground. But Raktabeej was vanquished with the help of
Mahakali who collected his blood on her tongue to stop this senseless reproduction.
The fourth avatar safeguarded Krishna from his cruel uncle, Kansa. Yogamaya was brought to Mathura from Gokul in place of Krishna. In future wars she
helped Krishna with her yogic powers, and killed powerful rakshasas like Chadoor.
The came the ferocious Rakta Dantika who killed Veprachiti Rakshasa. She drank the demon's blood, hence this name.
For a change, the sixth avatar was not incarnated to save the usually clumsy demigods. For 100 years, there was a drought on earth. So the sages performed
penance and pleased Devi Bhagwati who was born as Shakumbhari. She brought rain to the parched land.
A demon named Durgam had created mayhem. So Lord Vishnu created a goddedd. Since she killed Durgam, she was called Durga, and is the most sought
after deity. She rides a tiger.
A demon named Arun had evil designs on the wives of the demigods so they changed into a wasp and prayed to Durga. Durga changed into a wasp herself
and killed the demon. So she came to be known as Bhramari.
The last incarnation is Chandika -- she came to kill two demons, Chanda and Munda.
