INTRODUCTION


Among the insipid legends of history, the memorable history of Aryana remains distinguished. There is no name that evokes the memory of ancient civilization as that of Aryana. The name is indissolubly connected with the rich and vigourous civilization of the ancient Arya as described in the Veda and the Avesta. The history of Aryana spans the glorious era of unity under the Pishdadian and Kaviyani kings to the regional achievements of smaller kingdoms that later flourished on its sacred soil.

The name of Aryana resounds with the history of a people who were far superior in every way to that of other nations. What were the grandeurs of Babylon, the philosophy of Greece or the imperialism of the British compared to the eternal dignity of Aryana.

The history of Aryana is not a fading earthly flower but an eternal flame. This flame burns bright in every man of pure Arya race who preserves the immortal glory of his illustrious ancestors.
