ABSTRACT

The Scythic influence in India was a Scythic dynastic as well as a religious one. The Scythic inroads, and the ancient Naga and so-called Scythic aboriginal tribes, have, however, not merely left behind fnflues remnants of races in individual Districts. The immigrants doubtless represented many different tribes, but in the dim twilight of Indian history they are mingled together in confused masses known as the Scythians. The Scythic influence in India was a Scythic dynastic as well as a religious one. The evidence of coins settlements and the names of Indian tribes or reigning families, such as the Sakas, Huns, and Nagas, point to Scythian settlements as far south as the Central Provinces. The Scythic, and Naga, and so-called aboriginal races, with their indifference to human suffering, their polyandric households, and their worship of fear and blood, have left their mark deep in the Hindu law-codes, in the terrorizing of the Hindu religion, and in the degradation of woman.
