Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About The Book: In this extensive study, Shapurji Kavasji Hodivala presents pioneering research on Zarathustra and his peers in the Rigveda, challenging conventional interpretations. Hodivala examines linguistic and historical evidence to support a common Aryan ancestry between Vedic and Iranian communities, shedding light on their religious divergence. He identifies the Dasyus in the Rigveda as adherents of Zarathustra and proposes a bold reassessment of Zarathustra's chronology, correlating it with astronomical data. Additionally, Hodivala scrutinizes the controversies surrounding the Zarathustrian calendar, fostering scholarly discourse and advocating for its reform. This seminal work revolutionizes our comprehension of ancient Indo-Iranian history and religious development.
