Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. Co-organized by the Embassy of India in Mongolia, and the Indian Studies Center of Mongolia, a scientific conference took place under the theme, ‘Culture and traditions of the Indo-Mongoloids of Northern India and the Himalayas, and their ancient relations and similarities with Mongolians’ on November 20.
In his presentation, Dr. D.Nyamdavaa presented proof that Mongolians used to border and cooperate with those that lived in 8 states near the Himalayas and the northeastern region of India.
During his 15 years of assignment in India, he traveled through all of the states of India to gather information and do research. Noting that the people of India used to call their bordering Hunnu people as ‘Huna’, the researcher highlighted that there are various findings of cave paintings and stone age artifacts as well as the traditions, certain cultural artifacts, music, and clothes of the people that live in the region even today being similar to those of Mongolians.
As for researcher at the National Center for Public Health N.Suvd, she noted how babies with blue spots are born in the northern region of India as they are related to the Mongol ethnic group. The researchers also mentioned that the estimated number of people throughout the world that are related to Mongolians by blood is between 50 to 60 million. For instance, there are 12 million in Nepal, 30 million in India, 864 thousand in Russia, 5.8 million in China, 4 million in Afghanistan, 2 million in Pakistan, 2 million in Iran, and about 10 million in the countries of the central Asian region.
They also underlined unique facts about the relations between the two countries that explain its history from a new angle, such as the relations being 3,700-10,000 years old, and how ‘Hunas’ invaded India through the region of central Asia from 465 AD, establishing their empire, as well as when the Mughal Empire was established by Emperor Babur, who proclaimed having descended from Chinggis Khaan in the year of 1526, that continued to exist until colonization in 1871, and that his proclamation is proven by his descendants being traced back to a tribe named Barlas of Mongolia.
During the conference, a photography exhibition was also presented, depicting ancient architecture, coins and currency, dictionaries written in Persian, Arabian, Indian and Mongolian, sutras, two-humped camels, yaks, and goats being herded, and the processing methods for milk and dairy, alongside the mutual official visits of the presidents of Mongolia and India.
