Copper coin of Jishnu Gupta (ca. AD 622-633) of the Nepalese Licchhavi Dynasty. Obverse. The inscription above the winged horse is Śrī Jiṣṇu Guptasya. 4. Reasons of Falsification—(1) Racial superiority war- After colonial rule of Europeans, only research in history is to show racial superiority of Greeko-Roman civilization whose successors were these countries-Britain, France etc. (2) Biblical date of creation-(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ussher)-James Ussher (sometimes spelled Usher) (4 January 1581 – 21 March 1656) was Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland be- tween 1625–56. He was a prolific scholar, who most famously published a chronology that purported to establish the time and date of the creation as the night preceding Sunday, 23 October 4004 BC, according to the proleptic Julian calendar. Till today, history of world is being fitted after that, though it is well known that earth was created about 4.5 billions years ago and current human species is at least 1.5 million years old. (3) Deliberate post dating of Indian history-Declared aim of Boden chair at Oxford University in 1831 was to de- stroy Vedic culture so that Indians can be shown light of Christianity. For that, many distortions were done-(1) All kings who started a calendar were declared fictitious, though there are voluminous records of them. (2) Everything in Vedas or old literature was declared to be works of illiterates by persons who themselves were ignorant of those subjects. (3) All Indian texts are considered false. Though entire old history is solely from purāṇas, their chronol- ogy is arbitrarily changed. Only Indus valley inscriptions are considered authentic though they have not been read till today. (4) Greco-Roman tradition of forgery-Greco-Roman tradition of forgery of history to show cultural superiority has continued till Boden Chair declaration of Oxford in 1831 to destroy Vedic culture. Under tradition of slavery, it still continues by Indian devotees. One of the comments of Berosus can be seen on http://www.angelfire.com/nt/Gilgamesh/classic.html- Berosus derided the "Greek historians" who had so distorted the history of his country. He knew, for example, that it was not Semiramis who founded the city of Babylon, but he was himself the prisoner of his own environ- ment and cannot have known more about the history of his land than was known in Babylonia itself in the 4th cen- tury BC.. (5) George Hulze, Epigrapher of Madras (now Chennai) in 1909, read in Rājatarangiṇī that 43rd Kashmir king Go- nanda (1440-1400 BC) became Bauddha due to which Bauddhas of central Asia destroyed his kingdom. This story was fitted to Maurya Ashoka (1472-1436 BC) and both shifted to 269 BC to fit his grandfather with Maegas- thenes. (6) Sewel, S.B. Dixit, Kielhorn studied all the Indian eras. But all insisted that Śālivāhana śaka of 78 AD was only śaka and was linked with Kashmir king Kaniṣka of 1294-1234 BC. Thus, dates of all astronomers born much be- fore that were interpreted in that era only. (7) Abul Fazal had given date of start of Din-elahi in all earlier eras starting with Yudhiṣṭhira (17-12-3139 BC), Śrīharṣa (456 BC), Vikrama (57 BC) and Śālivāhana (78 AD). To destroy history, all these were declared fictitious after studying their calendars in detail. (8) William Jones changed date of Āryabhaṭīya from 360 Kali to 3600 Kali which was obeyed by Sudhakara

Dwivedi to become Principal of Queen’s Sanskrit college, Varanasi in his translation. But it was never explained why he chose the base year of start of kali in stead of at least 12 eras starting up to 3600 Kali. (9) There was more anger against Vikramāditya as he influenced west Asia and Roman empire by his di- rect rule upto Arab-His astrologers certified Jesus to be a great man, Jesus studied in India for 12 years termed as missing period, defeat and capture of Julius Caesar which led to his murder by Brutus, start of Julian and Hizra eras according to rules of Vikrama Samvat. ) Calendar Committee report-part 3 (CSIR publication) also mentions that Vikrama samvat has influenced start of Julian calendar in 46 BC after delay of 7 days. He intended to start year from winter solstice, but people started 7 days later with new moon. It is assumed that 7 days after winter solstice of 46 BC was new moon-actually it was full moon of Pauṣa after which Māgha Kṛṣṇa month started in Vikrama year 10 (lapsed). Vikrama samvat is only luni solar year in world which month starts with dark half. All our texts of astronomy and purāṇas still calculate adhika-māsa on basis of lunar month starting with bright half or new moon. To start a system opposed to general worldwide rule, it needs a powerful logic (shift of seasons by 45 days after start of kali) and a powerful king Vik- ramāditya who influenced India and Roman empire under Julius Caesar. That is why, no oriental scholar since British rule wants to admit existence of Vikramāditya and inserts fake stories in his name. It has also indicated that Hizra era started with start of Vikrama year 679. Quoted from History of the Calendar, by M.N. Saha and N. C. Lahiri (part C of the Report of The Calendar Re- forms Committee under Prof. M. N. Saha with Sri N.C. Lahiri as secretary in November 1952-Published by Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, Rafi Marg, New Delhi-110001, 1955, Second Edition 1992. Page, 168-last para-“Caesar wanted to start the new year on the 25th December, the winter solstice day. But people resisted that choice because a new moon was due on January 1, 45 BC. And some people considered that the new moon was lucky. Caesar had to go along with them in their desire to start the new reckoning on a tradi- tional lunar landmark.” Importance of winter solstice was ancient and Bhīṣma Pitāmaha departed on that very day in year 3139 BC-36 years before death of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Now that day is called Christmas, though it was intended to be new year day. It has been assumed that the start was from new moon day. Actually, it was from start of Māgha month of Vikrama year 11 lapsed. Vikrama samvat is only year which starts with dark half-all other lunar years start from bright half starting with new moon. Strong following of Vikrama samvat, just 10 years after its inception in Rome against wishes of Caesar shows influence of Vikramāditya. Page 180-“It has been shown by Dr. Hashim Amir Ali of the Osmania University, Hyderabad, that the Moham- medan calendar was originally luni-solar in which intercalation was made when necessary, and not purely lunar. .... According to this view, proper intercalation was applied in all years where necessary up to A.H. 10 and conse- quently the year A.H. 11 which started on March 29, 632 A.D. (Footnote)-Initial epoch of the Hejira era thus arrived at is the evening of March 19, 622 A.D., Friday, the day fol- lowing the vernal equinox.” Thus, Hejira era also started with start of year in India-it was start of Vikrama year 679. Vedic ROOTS of pre- Islamic Arabia and the Kaaba

The text of the crucial Vikramāditya inscription, found inscribed on a gold dish hung inside the Kaaba shrine in Mecca, is found recorded on page 315 of a volume known as ‘Sayar-ul-Okul’ treasured in the Makhtab-e-Sultania library in Istanbul, Turkey. Rendered in free English the inscription says: "Fortunate are those who were born (and lived) during king Vikram’s reign. He was a noble, generous dutiful ruler, devoted to the welfare of his subjects. But at that time we Arabs, oblivious of God, were lost in sensual pleasures. Plotting and torture were rampant. The darkness of ignorance had enveloped our country. Like the lamb struggling for her life in the cruel paws of a wolf we Arabs were caught up in ignorance. The entire country was enveloped in a darkness so intense as on a new moon night. But the present dawn and pleasant sunshine of education is the result of the favour of the noble king Vikramaditya whose benevolent supervision did not lose sight of us- foreign- ers as we were. He spread his sacred religion amongst us and sent scholars whose brilliance shone like that of the sun from his country to ours. These scholars and preceptors through whose benevolence we were once again made cognizant of the presence of God, introduced to His sacred existence and put on the road of Truth, had come to our country to preach their religion and impart education at king Vikramaditya’s behest." http://www.guardiansofdarkness.com/GoD/muslims.pdf (5) Defeat and capture of Caesar by Vikramādiya of Ujjain (82 BC-19 AD)- Defeat of Caesar is noted in many places, e.g. at http://www.heritage-history.com/www/heritage.php?Dir=wars&FileName=wars_romanpersian.php The first Roman contact with the Parthian Empire came during the Mithridatic Wars which lasted from 82 to 63 B.C. The Kingdom of Pontus was an independent Kingdom that bordered on Parthian territory. By the third Mithi- datic War, the Romans pursued Mithridates and his ally, Tigranes, deep into Armenia, and conquered most of the Armenian Empire, including Syria and Judea for Rome. From this point on, the Eastern border of Rome's territory bordered on Parthia. Rome recognized that Parthia, far from being barbaric was a highly civilized country with rich booty. The lure of conquest was behind most of Rome's incursions into Parthian territory in the following centuries. Soon after Pompey had conquered Syria and Judea for Rome, Crassus, already one of the richest men in Rome, launched a campaign against Parthia in Mesopotamia. He was defeated however, with great slaughter at Carrhae (53 B.C.). Caesar was planning a campaign of retribution when he was assassinated so the task fell to his succes- sor in the east Mark Antony. www.livius.org/caa-can/caesar/caesar_t01.htm- In 75, Julius Caesar was captured by Cilician pirates, who infested the Mediterranean sea. The Romans had never sent a navy against them, because the ... Vikramāditya has become most hated by Oxford because his calendar is still followed for all festivals surviving attempts to change it. Jyotirvidābharaṇa of Kālidāsa has been declared fake as it describes arrest of Caesar by him. But 3 epics indicated here are not considered fake and studied widely-Raghuvamśa, Meghadūta, Ku- mārasambhava. ज्योतिर्विदाभरण,ग्रन्थाध्यायनिरूपणम् २२विक्रमार्कवर्णनम्- वर्षे श्रुतिस्मृतिविचारविवेकरम्ये श्रीभारते खधृतिसम्मितदेशपीठे।

All students of Sanskrit literature study Mṛcchhakaṭikam of Śūdraka, then tell that there is no reference of this king because he started Mālava Samvat in 756 BC. It contin- ued till Śrī Harṣa śaka 456 BC which has been called 300 years of democracy by Megasthenes. After reading Nai- shasha-charita of Śrī Harṣa and Nāgāvalī of Harṣavardhana (605-646 AD) and Harṣa-charita of Bāṇabhaṭṭa, Śrī Harṣa is equated with Harṣavardhana. Most study is of works by Nava-ratnas of Vikramāditya –Amara-koṣa of Amara Simha, Jaina texts of Kṣapaṇaka, Suśruta-saṃhitā of Dhanvantari, Bṛhat-saṃhitā, Bṛhat-Jātaka, Pañcha- siddhāntikā of Varāhamihira, Raghuvamśa, Meghadūta, Kumāra-sambhava of Kālidāsa, present version of Purāṇas by Betāla Bhaṭṭa, and survey by Śanku revived by Moghul king Akbar. Literature on Vikramāditya is next only to Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, but it is claimed that there is no mention about him. A fake Vikramāditya has been cre- ated in Chandragupta-2 of Gupta period, about him only half word has been found-‘Chandra’-on Mehrauli iron pil- lar of Delhi. If it is assumed Chandragupta, then it could be one of 3 famous-1 in Maurya and 2 in Gupta period. But capital of all was at Patna, not at Delhi. Chandra only meant that it was to mark northernmost position of moon motion in 456 BC when Śrī Harṣa started his śaka in 456 BC and Kutub-Minār made, called Pillar of Hercules by Megasthenes.
