A raging fire erupts into the dark. cold forest twilight; a group of naked dancers -offer a sacrificial token to the fire, to their fire god Agni. The high priestess, the matriarch of the clan leads the ritualistic ceremony. But is this in Mexico, Central Asia or India? Set out in a series of short stories, this fascinating book relies on both fact and fiction for its inspiration. Each story defines a moment in the history of the Aryan tribes as they moved inexorably from Eastern Europe to India.-. over the course of thousands of years.Interwoven within the stories are the defining events of their history, the migration east, the coming of the Vedic scriptures and Buddha, the rise of Islam and the Moghuls, and finally the coming of the colonial powers, the passive movement of Gandhi and Communism. From Volga to Ganga is a remarkable work, it serves to bring history to life through its realistic short stories. It seeks to involve the reader in one of the greatest human migrations in history.
