Is it true that Only Aryans brought Vedas to India as said by history?
“Moli Ghosh Suresh” sked like this:
“Hare Krishna prabhu… Prabhu I have a doubt plz clear it whenever u r free.. In Srimad Bhagavatam it’s said that from d day of creation there was kings, rishs, kingdom, all types of development. But, in history we find that early man, development of human race, Aryans brought Vedas to India n then brahminical system started.. I really sometime get confused, I fully believe each word from Scripture but not able to link plz tell me how to link… Since when I asked about this I am not able to reply.”
REPLY:
Many details in the history have been given based on the details they found so far.
They find a material with some scripts in it like the year.
They calculate the age of that material and tell the world that such people existed in that area even in the year mentioned in that material.

HISTORY MAY HAVE INACCURACY!
For example, if they found a grinder stone and find its age as 2500 years through Carbon dating, they record in the history that the particular race/section of people were using grinder stone even before 2500 years ago. But, they can’t say since when they were actually using the grinder stone. It may be 50,000 years or even 3000 years.
In our scriptures, there are many details about the articles used at the time of the avatar of Krishna. This does not mean those articles were used just 5000 years ago. The people might have been using them even since more than 50,000 years.
This is how history was ‘created’ all over the world when there were no modern facilities like printing, protecting the records, etc.
Let me give another example for how the history can give wrong information also:
Our Indian history says that Aryans invaded in India through Kyber, Polan canal during the period 2000-3500B.C., ie, 4000-5500 years ago.
History also says that these Aryans brought Vedas, Puranas, etc to India.
The people are believing this.

There is another scripture in Tamil called THOLKAPPIAM.
This very old Tamil scripture Tholkappiam has been estimated as that belongs to 8000 years ago.
It says in many verses about Vedas, brahmanas, etc.
If the history that says that Vedas were given by Aryans 4000-5500 years ago is true, how can this Tamil scripture Tholkappiam have many verses about Vedas, brahmanas, etc?
This shows that Vedas were existing even before the Aryans invaded into India and Vedas are not the properties of any single community or race.
That is why I said that Science and History is just some records based on the AVAILABLE MATERIALS. And they were recorded by the men. So, some personal or political interferences might also have affected the authenticity of the historical data.
Even now, some parties in India claims that the history of India has been misrepresented and they have to be corrected with the right information.

KRISHNA ABOUT THE AGE OF SCRIPTURES!
Yes, history says that Bhagavad Gita was spoken by Krishna to Arjuna during Mahabharatha war that happened about 5000 years ago, ie, during the so called Aryan period.
But, what is the reality?
Krishna himself says in Bhagavad Gita that He spoke this same Bhagavad Gita to the Vivasvan, ie, Surya deva (many yugas ago).
That means lakhs and lakhs of years ago.
Therefore, Bhagavad Gita’s age is not just 5000 years, but, innumerable years, many yugas ago.
Just because Mahabharatha was recorded a few thousands years ago, we can’t say that the incidents explained in the scriptures are just a few thousands of years old.
Krishna says that the Vedic knowledge was given even during the creations by Krishna to Brahma deva. Then, Brahma deva gave birth to the persons called Manus with intelligence even at the time of creations.
Matsya Purana says that the sage Manu was the first man (and the first human) created by God and that Brahma deva created, using his divine powers, the Goddess Shatrupa (Saraswati) and then Manu was created out of the union of Brahma and Saraswati.
Thus, the experts in Vedas were created even at the time of creations.
Then other creations were created with all the animals, birds, insects, human beings, etc that accounts for 84,00,000 types of living beings.

Darwin said something like evolution. It is in the text book of our children. If he is true, why monkeys and humans exist at the same time? Why all the living beings exist at the same time?
So, the science and history data need not be correct, but subject to change.
There are many versions of history also. Many hidden versions also. If you take our Indian Independence, there are different versions of details about the same persons.
If this is the case for even the history just 70-80 years, what about the history of thousands of years that had no facilities of printing, digitalizing, etc.
Therefore, let us not confuse with the details of history.
What our scriptures, particularly, Vedas, Itikas and 18 Puranas say are somewhat trustworthy. There are some biased Puranas of later days also. Let us not consider them.
Vedas, Itikas and 18 Puranas came from the Lord Himself through Vyasa deva. However, our dharma is existing since the time immemorial.
The findings of history (Including on whether Aryans brought vedas) have more chances of some defective data.
Hope you are clear now about whether Only Aryans brought Vedas to India as said by history books.
