Missing links in Jat History

[rkumar]

Dear Friends,

As mentioned many times over, there was a massive migration after Mahabharat war. One main yodha left alive from Kaurav side was Asvathama, the brave son of Guru Dronacharya. As we all know, he was anti Pandav to the core and even killed pandav sons in while they were sleeping. Asvathama migrated to the present day Saudi Arabia and the land was given the name Asvathan with the passage of time. As we know Asva means hoarse also. The word Asva slowly got changed to Arva (which means also horse) and the name of the land as Arvasthan and then slowly Arbistan and then Arabia.

Asvathama being son of a Brahman called his followers as Rahman. How Krishna brainwashed Arjun in fighting by preaching Geeta became a topic of intense discussion between Asvathama and his followers. This debate gave birth to new philosophy, which evolved over thousands of years. It was from here that the philosophy of killing the no believers (Kafirs) was adopted in Islam. The Holy book of Muslims was called Kuran as against Puran.

There is mention at may links about the old names of Macca and Medina. If I borrow their version, this is what most of these links have to say;

"In fact the names of the holiest of Muslim cities Mecca and Medina come from the Sanskrit words Makha-Medini which means the land of Fire-Worship. Even the most ancient names of these 2 cities were Mahcorava- which came from Mahadeva (Lord Shiva) and Yathrabn - which came from Yatra-Sthan (place of pilgrimage)".

Its worth noticing the old name of Mecca as Mahcorava which drives from Kaurava, but wrongly associated with Mahadeva.
