Evolution or Devolution? The Indian Reality

Ask yourself this: If humans evolved from primitive forms to become more intelligent, why do our ancient scriptures, monuments, and philosophies reflect far more advanced wisdom than today’s civilization? The answer is simple—Darwin’s hypothesis is a half-truth, strategically designed to bury the grandeur of ancient civilizations like India’s.

India wasn’t primitive—it was a flourishing, scientifically and spiritually advanced nation with remarkable achievements in astronomy, mathematics, medicine, engineering, and spirituality. From Ayurveda to Vimana Shastra, from the Vedas to the Indus Valley cities, our ancestors exhibited knowledge far superior to today’s so-called “modernity.”

Yet, Darwinism convinced generations of Indians that their ancestors were uncivilized brutes.

The Western Agenda Behind Darwinism

Colonial rulers knew that conquering India’s land wasn’t enough—they had to conquer its mind. And for that, rewriting history was essential. Darwin’s theory became a powerful tool. It taught Indians they were “still evolving,” that their past was animalistic, and that they owed their current progress to British governance and Western science.

By removing the concept of a divine, purposeful creation—and instead teaching randomness and animal ancestry—Darwinism detached Indians from their Vedic identity. The idea of humans as mere evolved apes directly contradicted Indian scriptures which described man as divine (Atman), capable of attaining moksha (liberation).

Darwinism was not just a theory. It was an ideological weapon.

A Theory Without Proof: Hypothesis in Disguise

Let’s be clear: Darwin’s idea is not a scientific law—it is a hypothesis. Despite being taught as truth, it is riddled with gaps:

• No missing links: Fossil records fail to show a clear transition from ape to man.
• Mutation fallacies: Random mutations rarely lead to meaningful evolution; they usually cause harm.
• Natural selection is not creation: It may explain survival, but it does not explain origin.
• Darwin himself admitted doubts about the gaps in his theory.

And yet, despite this, the theory was embedded into education worldwide. Why? Because it helped replace ancient spiritual understandings with materialistic ideologies.

Impact on Human Psyche: From Purpose to Pointlessness

Darwinism is more than a scientific error—it’s a moral catastrophe.

Once people believed they were divine beings on a spiritual journey. Now, they are told they’re just byproducts of chemistry and chance. This shift in belief:

• Destroys self-worth.
• Removes the idea of karma and dharma.
• Devalues human life.
• Leads to depression, selfishness, and moral collapse.

If we are just slightly evolved animals, why uphold ethics? Why preserve ancient culture? Why meditate, pray, or seek inner truth? Darwinism has created a lost, hollow society, disconnected from its spiritual roots.

Spiritual Truth vs Biological Speculation

Indian philosophy always emphasized consciousness as the foundation of creation. The Upanishads declare “Aham Brahmasmi” (I am the Divine). The Bhagavad Gita talks about the eternal soul taking new forms—not because of random evolution, but due to karma and spiritual growth.

Darwin, however, told the world: “You are a result of biological accidents.” This is not just unscientific—it’s spiritually corrosive.

Is it any surprise that depression, addiction, and identity crises are global epidemics today?

The Glorious Indian Civilization: A Contradiction to Evolution

The Vedic age, around 3000–5000 BCE, had structured urban planning, water systems, metallurgy, and education centers. Temples carved from mountains like Kailash, astronomical precision in Vedic rituals, and Ayurveda’s scientific depth contradict the idea that man was primitive during those times.

India did not evolve from jungle to cities. It devolved from wisdom to confusion.

In fact, when we study Ramayana and Mahabharata, we find mentions of advanced weaponry, flying machines (Vimanas), and medical sciences far beyond modern standards.

A Theory That Even Darwin Doubted

Few know this, but Darwin himself expressed doubts about his own theory in his later years. He could not explain:

• The sudden appearance of species in fossil records (Cambrian explosion).
• The complexity of the human eye.
• The evolution of consciousness.

Yet, the theory was too convenient for Western imperialists to ignore. And sadly, too many Indian scholars accepted it blindly.

The Way Forward: Restoring Indian Wisdom

We must ask: Why are Indian schools still teaching Darwin’s outdated ideas?

India needs an education system based on its own ancient knowledge, not imported theories that diminish its legacy. Instead of preaching that humans were apes, children should be taught:

• The concept of soul and karma.
• The purpose of human life.
• The achievements of Indian sages, scientists, and kings.

It’s time to decolonize our curriculum. Remove the curse of Darwinism and replace it with truthful, spiritually uplifting education.

Conclusion: The Final Verdict

Darwinism is not just a theory. It is a tool of mental colonization, a false narrative that disconnects man from divinity, and India from its glorious history.

It’s high time we stopped treating this 19th-century hypothesis as gospel. Instead, let us reclaim our heritage—where man is not an evolved ape but an eternal soul on a cosmic journey.
