Hamma's writing of the book ‘The White and Aryan Civilizations’ is to put facts about the pre-Aryan culture before the world of modern time. Literature available in India about Aryans and pre-Aryan cultures although very rich, but, written in local languages and inclined towards local religion hence lose the basic historic values on one hand and have hardly reached to the international readers. It reminds me that one such Indian scholar Acharya Chatursen Shastri had worked to keep the historic values intact and to project ancient cultures of the land spread up to the Middle East through his several books.

Hamma's writing of the book ‘The White and Aryan Civilizations’ is to put facts about the pre-Aryan culture before the world of modern time. Literature available in India about Aryans and pre-Aryan cultures although very rich, but, written in local languages and inclined towards local religion hence lose the basic historic values on one hand and have hardly reached to the international readers. It reminds me that one such Indian scholar Acharya Chatursen Shastri had worked to keep the historic values intact and to project ancient cultures of the land spread up to the Middle East through his several books.
The author of the book has a rich bank of knowledge about ‘White Race’ that is later on known as the ‘Aryan Race.' This transformation can be considered as the gift of the devastating flood Mesopotamia and migration of the White race to Bharat land. In the modern time either people are busy in developed countries, or they are involved in religious activities in many countries so much that they lose the cultural part, and they know very little about their ancestors for the sake of continuance of meaning of their life. In order to understand the cultural misgivings or even misunderstanding to harm the humanity up to several generations, this book has definite material. Thus, Mirwaisi's book on ‘White and Aryan Civilizations’ will be enlightening.
I understand that Iran’s history starts much earlier with the Mede Empire. And in the year 625 BCE, Cyaxares, The Great, also known by the titles of ‘Kurdish: Kayxesraw’ and ‘Uvaxshtra, revolted against the illegitimate ruler of the Median Empire, the Scythian King Madius, who had dethroned him earlier in the year 633 BCE. As a result of the uprising, Emperor Kayxesraw was called as ‘Ahashverosh’ in the holy book Bible. The revolt firmly established the power of the Medes, the forefathers of today’s Kurds, over territories from the Halys River in the west to Sattagydia in the east. It had occurred only a few years before the King Astyages was born and in this reference story of King Astyages and Queen Vashti is well known to the world. Readers may also refer to ‘Isaiah: 13:17-20 of the ‘Old Testament’ where Isaiah had a bold expectation from the Medes. The title Mede represents a race that is derived from the name of the king of the ancient time, Ajamede.
After the great devastating flood of Airyanem Vaejah, a big segment of White Caucasian race migrated eastward to the land known as Bharatvarsh. In the modern time, a part of this land is known by the name India. Over thousands of years, they developed the Aryan Culture and according to the Vedic literature, the White Aryan people societies were organized into four social groups, Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra in the land of Bharatvarsh. Traditionally, the Kshatriya constituted the ruling and military elite with a role to protect society by fighting in wartime and governing in peacetime as a part of Aryan culture. From the common social and historic knowledge it is established that after the great Mahabharat war of Bharatvarsh, Kshatriya migrated back to the land of Mesopotamia after the great flood of 5600 BCE mostly as nomads.
The story of the migration of sons of Kuru dynasty as Pandavas is well known. King Cyaxares, The Great, the forefather of today Kurds was the leader of Kshatriya spread up from India to Europe and from Egypt to Mongolia, while his cousins kept ruling the land of today known as India and Pakistan. The Medes family led members of the Aryan religion of Prophet Zoroaster, was frequently opposed by members of Asura culture. The author has thrown light on the concepts of Asur, Deva and Demons all being mighty groups of society with their free wisdom. The Medes overpowered several cultures of the region of Mesopotamia and established Mede Empire in the region under the umbrella of the Aryan culture of this time. In the period of Mahabharat and later on, Krishna and Kurus had cordial relations and frequent dialogues but with different philosophies of life. The cordial relations have probably continued up to ~ 522 BCE i.e. the time of last Mede king. After this period, there is the emergence of a series of religions, which have replaced cultures. The Deva religion of leader Lord Krishna took over a big part of Asia in its influence. While their cousins took over the entire White Aryan people land of Mesopotamia and through the Aramaic (Judaism, New Christian, and Islamic religion) after defeating the basic cause of Jesus Christ who in fact wanted to revive ‘the Aryan culture’. People of Europe, America, and India mainly, are still struggling with the concepts of ‘religion’ and ‘culture’ and it is clearly evident that all are not catholic, orthodox or protestant.
In an episode occurring over forty years later after the Cyaxares The Great, era, the book of Esther as part of the holy book of ‘Hebrew Bible of Tanakh’ (the Old Testament) has recorded a brief story involving Queen Vashti, raising more questions than answers. Why the king Astyages (Ahasuerus) ordered his wife Queen Vashti to appear summarily before his guests in thin linen costume? She refused to obey the order of the king, as she was sure that her appearance at that time of ceremony couldn’t be the natural demand of the rule for the occasion. The story of Queen Vashti of ~ 600 BCE, on one hand, pronounces the cherished ‘Woman Rights’ and it is historic. Secondly, it helps in understanding the exciting story of ‘gamble play of Mahabharat’ and Draupadi, wife of Pandwas being put on the stake in Mahabharat epic of much earlier time. It is also worth mentioning that original historic reference book of Kuru family; ‘Jaya Samhita’ has nearly 8800 slokas. In later time, several additions in Jaya Samhita have been made and as a result, it is a much bigger voluminous book today in the form of Mahabharat epic carrying more than 75000 slokas. All these additions, are expected to be made after the fall of Mede Empire of Mesopotamia in 522 BCE when ‘religion’ starts dominating ‘culture.' More research work is needed to investigate the social and historical relations between Bharatvarsh land and Median Empire of the Middle East.
Queen Vashti of Medes risked her life to uphold her right to live as an equal to her powerful husband. She has been regarded as a trailblazer in challenging the curse of gender oppression and deserves the place of honor in world history today, which she was accorded in her own country all those years. In his other book ‘Return of the Medes’ Hamma Mirwaisi mentions Queen Vashti’s contribution to her nation. The stories of Queen’s Vashti and Esther provided the seeds, which have grown in the form of ‘A History of the Kurdish People – Survival, Resistance, and Liberation of the white Diaspora’. In continuation of his several cherished books carrying historical events as mentioned above. To which I am quite aware, and assume that his further research has given him a chance to write this book about the ‘The White & Aryan Civilization’ with a subtitle of ‘Started 12, 000 Years ago in Gobekli Tepe to Serve Humanity.'
In summary, the author with the help of his rich knowledge of pre-historic time about the lands from present-day India to Turkey and Armenia to Arabia describes summarily Sur and Asur cultures, which were flourishing in that time. More important is the analysis about Devas and their specific relations between lands of modern time India and the Middle East. How the ‘cultures’ have migrated and come to merge, as a ‘religion’ is the main contribution of the book. I hope that the readers will find it an eye-opener. This also raises another relevant question about the relative importance of ‘culture’ over ‘religion’ and vice versa that is expected to be a function of time.
