The Dhamek Buddhist Stupa, Saranath Varanasi, India

The Dhamek Buddhist Stupa is said to mark the spot where the Buddha gave the first sermon to his first five disciples after attaining enlightenment.

The Dhamek Stupa was built in 500 CE to replace an earlier structure commissioned by the great Mauryan king Ashoka in 249 BCE, along with several other monuments, to commemorate the Buddha's activities in this location.

King Ashoka built stupas to enshrine small pieces of calcinated bone and other relics of the Buddha and his disciples.

An Ashoka pillar with an edict engraved on it stands near the site.




Dhamek stupa located at Sarnath, 13 km away from Varanasi in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.

MIGRATIONS |   HISTORY & CULTURE New reports clearly confirm ‘Arya’ migration into India Tony Joseph SEPTEMBER 13, 2019 17:38 IST UPDATED:  SEPTEMBER 14, 2019 09:07 IST The Arya were central Asian Steppe pastoralists who arrived in India between roughly 2000 BCE and 1500 BCE, and brought Indo-European languages to the subcontinent The last time a paper titled ‘The Genomic Formation of South and Central Asia’ was released online, in March 2018, it created a sensation in India and around the world. Mostly because the paper, co-authored by 92 scientists, many of them doyens of different disciplines, said that between 2000 BCE and 1000 BCE, there were significant migrations from the Central Asian Steppe that most likely brought Indo-European languages into India — just as Steppe migrations into Europe a thousand years earlier, beginning around 3000 BCE, had spread Indo-European languages to that continent as well. In other words, the paper supported the long-held idea of an ‘Arya’ migr

यह उनके लिए जो बहनजी की एसी (AC) की हवा से दमारोगी (Asthmatic) हो गये हैं.. कहा जाता है कि लायक संतानें अपने बुजुर्गों का खयाल रखती हैं। अगर सर्वत्र ऐसा होता तो हम 60-70 साल के बुजुर्गों को आज भी रिक्शा चलाते हुए सड़कों पर या वृद्धाश्रमों में क्यों देखते ? आज के तथाकथित मिशनरी और अम्बेडकरवादी ऐसे ही हैं। ये वैसे लोग हैं जो आज अगर बाबा साहब डॉ. आंबेडकर और मा.कांशीराम साहब जीवित होते तो ये उनको भी कहते कि AC में बैठे सरकार नहीं बनती सड़क में निकलो। अगर ये उपदेशक और बहुजन द्रोही इतने ही लायक होते तो देश में भाजपा की सरकार न बनती और न ही आज की तरह उसका देशव्यापी तांडव दिखायी देता। ये लोग वोट भाजपा या अन्य पार्टियों को देते हैं और बुराइयां बसपा की करते हैं। अगर बहुजन समाज आज भी अपनी हरकतों से बाज नहीं आता और कम से कम उप्र में बसपा की सत्ता नहीं लौटती तो इनकी दुर्गति होनी तय है इसे कोई रोक नहीं सकता। अभी छः साल  के भाजपा राज्य में जितना तांडव मचा है यह केवल बानगी भर है। आनेवाले प्रलय और संहार के लिए बहुजन तैयार रहें। और हां नौकरी पेशावाले चतुर सुजान लोगो ! तुम यह अच्छी तरह जान लो, बसपा जितना क
