Reconstructing Hindu History – Webinar

Written by Staff Writer, HUA | Oct 11, 2020 12:52:00 AM
Hindu History, as it is taught in schools is Hinduphobic and there is a need to unlearn it and relearn it from Hindu lens.

Reconstructing Hindu History is not an easy undertaking. It is made doubly difficult, through the standard textbook narratives which suffer from both commissions and omissions. These textbooks present the Hindu Civilization as the illegitimate offspring of an "Aryan" Race that came into India from somewhere outside and a native Aboriginal Dravidian population.

In this Webinar, we examined the best contemporary evidence available from a multi-disciplinary perspective i.e. from Linguistics, Texts, Archeology, Astronomy, Genetics and others.

The webinar also introduces a 2-course curriculum on Reconstructing Hindu History that commenced in the Fall Quarter of 2020.
