A TRIBUTE TO SRI P.N. OAK

A TRIBUTE TO SRI P.N. OAK

This Letter was written before he passed away on 4th December, 2007.
Mr. P.N. Oak. Austere by nature, a journalist by profession, a historian by hobby a researcher by accident and a freedom fighter by design Mr. Oak is one of his kind.
Born on March 2, 1917 at Indore (Cntral India) in a Maharashtrian Brahmin family he obtained his M.A. LLB Degrees from Mumbai University worked as a tutor in English at Fergussan College, Pune for a year and later joined the army got posted to Singapore at the age of 24.
He was one of the organizers of Indian national Army (INA) and a co-worker of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. After the end of world war II Oak walked back and hitch niped from Singapore to Dimapur in Assam.
From 1947 to 1974 his profession has been mainly journalism having worked on the editorial staff of Hindustan Times and The Statesman, as a class I officer in the Ministry of Information an Broadcasting (Govt. of India) and as Editor in American Embassy’s information service (USIS), all in New Delhi.
From 1963 onwards Mr. Oak has been putting out copious evidence through his research papers articles lectures slide chans and books proving that the historic mansions gardens, mosques, towers mansoleums and town ships ascribed to Moslems in India are in reality pre-moslem property belonging to and built by Hindu rulers.
Because of his hobby of visiting historic edifices it struck him as very odd that though muslims ruled India for over a thousand years ( 712 to 1857 A.D.) they are said to have raised mostly tombs and mosques, but no palaces. The other oddity in current history is that even native Indian ( Hindu) rulers for 7000 years from Pandavas to Prithviraj Chauhan are not known to have had many palaces of their own.
After years of concentrated thinking on those two enigmas it suddenly struck him that historic edifices throughout India tamtommed as tambs and mosques, could be captured, misused and misadvertised palaces and temples raised by Hindu rulers.
That inducd him to investigate further collect evidence and take a second harder look at historic edifices through out India which convinced him that his hypothesis was correct.
Thus, since he had discovered a great blunder in Indian history he wondered whether world history was faultless. And to his shock and surprise he discovered that world history too has numerous drawbacks.
For instance though there was no Islam before 622 A.D. none of the muslim countries throughout the world teaches any pre Islamic history of its region. Likewise no Christian country throughout the world teaches any pre-christian history.
These discoveries nudged him to found an organization which would teach the world of its (Pre-islamic and pre-christian) vedic Sanskrit heritage which held full sway throughout the world. He wrote several books braving the displeasure of his employers and the ruling Govt.
Charges of being communal were hurled at him. His books were banned from the library of parliament persecuted and prosecuted OAK faught his own case and was pronounced ‘not gulty’ by the court of law.
Supported by his family and friends he went ahead and founded the Institute for Rewriting Indian History which further grew to be The Institute for Rewriting world history.
Mr. OAK was invited for felicitation and lectures by various (N.G.O.) institutions and individuals. He traveled all over India and abroad and evoked great care from his readers and followers.
All his discoveries have so far remained unchallenged.
