However, Ambedkar, who challenged the colonial and nationalist views on Aryan invasion, refused to accept Jotirao Phule's identification of Aryans with foreign invaders. ![]() In addition, as Brahmanas were identified with Aryans, all non-Brahmanas including Shudras and untouchables were identified as original inhabitants of India in Dalit writings. Contrary to the colonial and nationalist scholars, who had characterized the Aryan race as a founder of Hindu civilization, Jotirao Phule's counter-narrative projected them as foreign invaders. In a response, social reformers and nationalist scholars, largely coming from upper castes, constructed their own narratives of Indian history, which promoted the idea of glorious Aryan-Hindu past. ![]() The colonial administrators introduced Aryan theory and race science in order to justify their authority over India. ![]() This article discusses the Dalit narratives of India's ancient past, particularly varied interpretations of Aryan invasion of India. ![]() ![]() She was ready to converse gaily with him when she was tired, make love until all hours when she was ill, and cater to his every whim. ![]() The successful royal mistress made herself irreplaceable. ![]() From Madame de Pompadour, the famous mistress of Louis XV, who kept her position for 19 years despite her frigidity, to modern-day Camilla Parker-Bowles, who usurped Diana, Princess of Wales. ![]() Forced to marry repulsive foreign princesses, kings sought solace with women of their own choice.

Lesser gods and supernatural creatures include Eros, nymphs of all kinds, and personifications of abstract concepts like Justice and Memory.
