Dear Sir ,
"Your earlier post said that Brahmnical writings have done this or that."
yeh meine likha tha------sir aisa kuch recall toh nahi ho raha , and I do not like to read all my posts again
1st-----pehla i do not recall such thing ( zyada bolne ki aadat hai mujhe but itna faltoo bhi nahi ) - kindly share it with me
2nd----however , i m a human , TO ERR IS HUMAN---ab aap keh rahe hai toh shayad mei agyani---likh bhi diya ho
Agar aisa hai toh - Let me admit to all over on JL -----I have no knowledge any vedas or any Brahmnical writings----I have only read Ramayana and Mahabharata in detail-bas wahi pata hai nothing else
"kindly share the story about 'Lord Krishana' with source of the origin of the story. We shall eagerly await your response in the matter."
waise toh yeh story , I know by heart ( coz once i had a debate with my pitashree over same and he explained be the complete scenario)
still jab aap poochte hai toh waise hi mujhe lagta hai lag gayee class ab toh -aur bol zyada--thus I always cross check my facts ( coz somebody like with so much knowledge and intellect , one can not just play with words)
---------http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna--------------
Sir - i guess yeh enough hoga-----you can scroll down to family wala section, n there you have the whole story
waise aur bhi hai---but i m fond on wikie
The relevant extract of Krishana Story [highlighting the myth of his marriage to numerous women], based on the two references given at the bottom of the post is reproduced from wikipedia link quoted above for critical scrutiny of the readers :
'Krishna had a total of 16,108 wives, out of which eight were his princely wives and 16,100 were rescued from Narakasura, who had forcibly kept them in his harem. After Krishna killed Narkasura he rescued these 16,100 women and freed them, but all of them returned to him saying that they have been raped by Narkasura repeatedly and now neither their family will accept them nor will any one marry them, thus remaining shelter less. Out of compassion Krishna decided to give them shelter in a new palace, but, so that people do not take it in a wrong way, and also to give them a respectful place in the society he decided to marry all of them. Krishna did get married to all of them but never had sexual relations with any. [SUP][65][/SUP][SUP][66][/SUP]

It is exciting to see the enthusiastic participation by new and old members, in the history section.
Equally impressive is the exploration of fresh avenues.
Without seeming to dampen the enthusiasm, I would suggest that members reflect a bit upon what they write and the views they espouse.
This is a history section.
Mythology also always contains a kernel of history.
Readers must try and coach themselves to try and distinguish between the two, and separate the wheat from the chaff.
From the above posts certain queries come to mind,
Was Krishna a Historical person?
He is supposed to have the head of the Andhak- Vrishni republic, and he is supposed to have played a leading role in the Mahabharat epic and war.
.
If so, how and when did he transform into a God, and an avatar of Vishnu?
What is the significance of his war with Narak- Asura and the tale of 16,000 maidens/ wives?
The term Asura BTW became on epithet in later orthodox Hindu thought, but in the Vedic era and literature, an Asura is actually a divine being on par with the Devas, In Zoroastrian thought it is the Devas who are reviled.
A good starting point may be to distinguish between the historical and the mythological!

Raviji has produced a very learned source of information on Arjuna. His post is reproduced with thanks to him and with due acknowledgement for the readers of the JatLand.com to ponder over and carry the debate further.
Buddhaprakash was professor of History and Ancient history at
Kurukshetra University, India. He wrote a number of books on the
ancient history of India.
Here are some of his views on Arjun of the Mahabharat, and he
suggests that Arjuna was a Central Asian Hero to whom a number of
Central Asian ruling dynasties traced their ancestry. He suggests
that the Pnadavas of the Mahabhrata epic had central Asian origin,
and demonstrates a link to the Kusanas, the Sakas, the Sarmatians,
and the Alans.

Arjuna, Rsika and Yue-che.

Punjab, Motilal Banarsidas, and New Delhi (1964)
The word 'arjuna' has an unmistakable resemblance with the Saka
word 'erzuna', meaning a `leader' or `chief'. This word 'erjuna'
or 'erjhuna' can be identified with the word alysanai, eysdnai i.e.
alzanai, ezanai, which is used in the old Saka language in the Khotan
country for rendering the Sanskrit word 'kumara'. Saka languages use
both 'R' and 'L'.
{Note: Kumara is another name for Kartikeya, the son of Shivaji, the
general of the republican people, the Ganas, and his mount is the
Peacock. Shiva and Kartikeya are also prime deities of the Jats. It
is interesting that in that early period in what is now the area
between the rivers Oxus, and Jaxartes, North West Afghanistan, we
find Shiva worship. - Ravi}.
Therefore, Saka 'alysnai' presupposes an older 'arzana,' '
arzanaka', while the later form' eysanai' shows that the initial
vowel tended towards an 'e'. The word 'erjhuna' is used in the sense
of `prince' in the Takht-i-Bahi inscription of the year 103.
According to Konow, 'kapa' stands for the Kusana ruler Kuzula
Kadphises and 'erjhuna kapasya' means `of the prince Kadhpises' in
this inscription.[40]. The word 'erjuna' or 'erzuna' is derived
from 'arzi'. Analogous to it are the Saka words 'aljsa',
meaning `silvery', and 'aljsata' meaning `silver' that are akin to
the Avestan word 'erezata' (silver ), the Sanskrit word rajata (
silver ) and the Persian word 'arziz' (tin).[41] All these words have
the original sense of whiteness and brightness, that are also
connoted by the word 'arjuna' in Sanskrit. It is highly significant
that Arjuna, the hero of the Mahabharata, is said to have borne this
name, because he was `white* and `pure' in action [42]. All over the
Eurasian. Steppes the nobles were regarded as `white' and the
commoners were considered `black'. Hence the word for white colour
was employed to denote the idea of leadership. This is why 'erzuna'
was used in the sense of a `leader' in Saka languages.
The word 'arjuna' occurs in Vedic literature also. [Rgveda I, 112,
23; IV, 26, 1; VIII, I, 11; Yajurveda X, 21; Satapatha Brahmana II,
1, 2-1 I; V, 4, 3, 7). There it denotes `white' and `white leprosy'
and is also an epithet of Indra. But it does not denote a tribe or a
human hero. On the other hand, we come across the name of a northern
tribe 'Arjunaka' or 'Arjunayana' or 'Prarjuna' in the Arthashatra of
Kautilya and the Allahabad pillar inscription of Samudragupta, as
seen above. This tribe seems to be connected with the name 'arjuna'.
The use of this word in the sense of a tribe or a human hero is
foreign to Vedic literature. But in Central Asia, among the states
and principalities, which were founded by the Sakas, it invariably
denoted an eponymous hero.
Vedic and Saka both branched from the same parent `Indo- European
language. Hence many words were common to both. But whereas 'Arjuna'
in Vedic lost its pristine sense and was only used as an adjective,
signifying `whiteness', in Saka it meant a tribe and a human hero and
later on this sense was imparted to this word in India as a result
of the impact of the Sakas. (Buddha Prakash Studies in Indian History
and Civilization, pp. 248- 249.)
Sten Konow has shown that the variants of 'arzi', underlying the
word 'erzuna' are 'arsi-asii', which become 'rsi-isi' in Sanskrit
and 'asi-asi-isi' in Prakrit [43]. In the Mahabharata the Risika are
a people of the northern regions, living beyond the land of the
Kambojas. who inhabited the Badakshan region, and their king, who
also bears this name, is mentioned with 'Chandra' (moon)
and 'Diti'[44]. According to Charpentier, the word "Yue-che"
means "the moon people" in Chinese [45].

[Contd. Ravi Chaudhry's post from previous page/post]
Thanks and regards
It is noteworthy that Kaniska, the greatest ruler of the Yue-che,
bore the titles 'Chen-to' (tsien-da) and 'chan-t'an' (tsian-dan), as
we gather from the Chinese translation of the 'Sutralankara'. These
titles are derived from the Sanskrit word for moon chandra (chanda).
Thus it is clear that the 'Yue-che' had a regular association with
the `moon'. It may be noted that Arjuna of the Mahabharata also
belonged to a family, which is traditionally connected with the moon
(chandravamsa). This association may be based on the fact that the
moon is marked by whiteness and brightness, which the word 'arzi-arsi-
asi' connotes. Thus Arjuna linguistically corresponds to rsika or Yue-
che and semantically agrees with it as well, for both arjuna and arsi
mean `white' in Sanskrit and Saka respectively. [47]. The Rsika — Yue-
che were a people of Saka race and Kadphises and Kaniska considered
themselves as the kinsmen of 'Chastana', the son of 'Ysamotika', one
of the Saka satraps of Saurastra and Malwa. [48]. In this way, it is
clear that Arjuna is the hero and symbol of a tribe of the Saka
stock, which came to be known as Arjunayana or Prarjuna after him.

Alexander Cunningham in Archaeological Survey of India Volume II, in report for 1863-64 while writing on ETHNOLOGY of Punjab, pp6-81 discusses Indo Scythians in pp 43 to 81. He has used extensive sources for identifying the ethnology of the Su, or Sagaruka, Medi, or Meda; Zanthil,Iatii, Jata; Yuchi, or Tochari; little Yuchi, or Kator, Ephhalites, or White Huns which makes an interesting addition for our search of the lost pedigree of various Jat clans.
In addition, he has devoted earlier pages to the study of the population of Punjab and then proceeds to discuss Takkas, Megs, or Mekei and other tribes. The he goes on discuss Janjuhas and Awans, and Bhattis under the heading of Aryas.
Those who are taking part in this debate on Indo Scythians the book can provide enough food for thought, I am sure.

This surmise, if not contradicted on the basis of newer sources, definitely indicates in the right direction that the roots of the Pandavas lay somewhere outside India!

I have many times requested Laxman ji please don't waste your precious time on matching Mahabharata geography with Indian Geography as Mahabharata War was never fought on Indian soils ........There were so many evidences ....what I told my friends Pandavas in fact were the looosers in that war and had to leave their lands ...Mahabharata story as we read today is mere one sided version (pandava's )of the true story with many later interpolations .......other version does exist in central asian history that I will be giving in my research book.
However since many later interpolations were done when the defeated party has reached Indian soils (and even that period too is very ancient )we can find some ancient geographical names of ancient India mentioned in Mahabharata .However places like Kurukshtra were not Indian but Central Asian.

However since many later interpolations were done when the defeated party has reached Indian soils (and even that period too is very ancient )we can find some ancient geographical names of ancient India mentioned in Mahabharata .However places like Kurukshtra were not Indian but Central Asian.

नरेंदर जी आपका दावा हैरान करने के साथ साथ रुचिकर भी है ! अब तो आपकी वो पुस्तक जितनी जल्दी मार्केट में आये उतना बढिया है ! मान लेते है कि महाभारत वर्तमान भारत कि धरती पर नहीं हुई और पांडव कहीं और मध्य एशिया से पराजित हो कर आये थे , तो क्या , वो जाट ही थे ?
श्री कृशन ने जो संघ यानी कि खाप बनाया था क्या वो मध्य एशिया में भी पाया जाता है ? कुछ अवशेष हैं इस खाप के वहाँ ?
Narendra ji I am eagerly waiting for your book. Till your book comes we are trying facts about Mahabharata. There seems no harm in trying all angles to reach a truth. Jat is considered to be God and nobody has so far aquired true knowledge about God.
We have compiled a list at http://www.jatland.com/home/Ancient_Jat_clans
It may be of some use.
In Physics we define an event by four dimensional coordinates. (x,y,z,t)
Mahabharata defines Geography and if we can find time scale attached with some event we can find the true value of an event at that particular moment. That is nothing but history. So you may find a clan at a particular time at particular space but with change of time its geographical location may change. Mahabharata was spread over a vast area and not only confined to present India.
Let us keep our journey going towards truth.

And Burdakji's post taken together:
See what Hukum Singh Panwar (Pauria) says on this topic. Kindly go to link -
The Jats:Their Origin, Antiquity and Migrations/The identification of the Jats and read page 324 on Jatland Wiki. I reproduce here for readers:
"Arjuna, the Pandava hero in the Mahabharata war, is addressed by Krishna, his charioteer friend, as Partha. Prithudaka (modern Pehowa) in the Kurukshetra region was, according to O.P. Bharadvaja (1986: 197f), the original home of Prithus or Parthas. The ancient Parthia must have owed its name to the Parthian emigrants from the eastern part of Sapta Sindhu. "
Alexander Cunningham, considers Pandavas and Pauravss as same people. He, while writing about the Ethnology of the Punjab in his Archaeological Survey Report says on the issue of the immigration of people in Punjab during the period from the close of the great war [Mahabharata] to the invasion of Alexander as under :
''...the only clue which we have to guide us in discovering the changes that may have taken place in the Punjab, consists of an imperfect comparison between the names of tribes and districts in the heroic ages just described and those which we find in the historians of Alexander. But this comparison, in spite of the very few names that have been handed down to us, at once reveals the fact that a large and successful immigration of Pauravas must have taken place into the very heart of the Punjab. Thus between the Hydaspes and the Akesines Alexander encountered a king, whom the Greeks called Porus, and in the next Doab he found another Porus, the nephew of the former. That this was not the real name of these kings, but simply that of their tribe, the Paurarvas, or descendants of Puru, was first pointed out by Professor Lasen, who further quoted the authority of Ptolemy to show that in his time the country on the upper Hydaspes was in the possession of the Pandavas the most powerful branch of the family of Puru........."
If Cunninghams above quoted version supported by Professor Lasen, who further quoted the authority of Ptolemy proves true on the basis of further tests then for sure Pandavas were Jats of Paurarva/Pawar gotra. A great challenge for the historians both ways to prove it or to disapprove it; they have to put in hard labour indeed!
Thanks

Yes, one group of historians holds the view expressed by narender kharab ji and not without reason.
Conversely others also hold to the ground with equally strong standing.
And no meeting point between the two so far.

It is not good to say some one 'stupid' without any rhyme or reason especially to historian like Alexander Cunningham, the then Director General of India who has quoted references in support of his hypothesis !Pandav jat the.. toh pher kaurav bhi jat honge ...yah toh jatan ki mahabharat ban gi..history main bada blunder kar diya yo toh!:stupid:
