Arctic Homeland of the Vedas

Indian revolutionary and scholar of ancient scriptures Lokamanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856–1920) became famous not only for his social activities but also for his detailed development of the widely acclaimed theory that the homeland of the ancient Aryans, who arrived... in India in the middle of the II millennium BC, was the Far North. Myths and legends from not only ancient Indians but also Persians, Celts, Germans, and other Indo-European peoples support this hypothesis. The book presented to you by L. B. G. Tilak is dedicated to the study of the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, and legends that recount the times when our distant ancestors experienced thirty days of dawn and observed the intricacies of the battle between Indra and Vritra. Analyzing the rich layer of sacred texts and traditions from different countries, the author asserts that the ancestral homeland of the white race was the Arctic North with its white nights and long winters. The edition is equipped with detailed editorial comments.
