Recent hypothesis:


 * 1) An area rich in Biodiversity is the birthplace of Language and dialects. Himalaya is the main candidate but Siberia prior to ice age is another contender. Language was developed after the observation of animal movements, their characters and behavioral features and patterns. Linguistic rules were not followed by speakers when word variations were evolved. So, linguistic theories do not work each and every time while analyzing linguistic evolution. “Sar” maybe the first word consonant word before any vowel during the earliest development of language, from which many languages got their words. So, the evolution of words should be studied after dividing them into zoological, botanical and inorganic categories. It was discovered in Paleolithic age (Origin of the Languages: Beyond Paleolithic, Publication: A. Satyal, 2020 AD, ISBN: 978-9937-0-7799-6)
 * 2) Shaivism was the ancient most universal faith consisting of almost all Shamanism, and covering from Japan to North Africa. It was based on the fear of Thunderbolt. Greek Pantheon is the most prominent example of Shaivism, eulogized and later followed by western civilization. It is represented by trident, a tool evolved culturally from Cactus Species named Euphorbia royaliyana, a native to Nepali middle hills (Himalayan Greece: On the origin of Old world culture, Published A. Satyal, 2022 AD, ISBN: 978-9937-120-29-6)

Career/ About

Saurav is a Nepali author who has written non-fiction books in both Nepali and English languages. He was a journalist by profession between 1984 to 1992. After Nepal’s political upheaval, he found works that contributed to derogate the history of Nepal and facts being distorted, and national heroes and symbols to have faded which threatened to insult the sovereignty of Nepal. His contributions lie in protesting against this through his works as a published author. On 15th of January 2007 “The biological dimensions of Nepali Flag” was published in Kantipur Daily which was his breakthrough work in the world of Nepali media from where Nepal’s history, sociology, culture, medieval political economy and linguistics was written with an empirical approach. Within 15 years, he has formulated multiple hypotheses in the publications he has published. As a botany enthusiast, he has also published the first part of his three series of his book on exotic and indigenous plants of Nepal.

Rediscovering Nepal

He became a political analyst after the Indian embargo of 1989 mainly focusing on the imposed open border, still continuing this endeavor with the same objective of advocating for a closed border.

Style

Linguistics and Shamanistic antique practices are his tools to develop the comparatives between diversification of cultures.

Exponents (experts) of languages are critical of him, in the sense that his style of presentation is not expressive. But his arguments are only language itself is not that much expressive to specify the peculiarities of the past.

Hypotheses

1. Language evolved from an area very rich in biodiversity, probably the Himalayas. Though Pre-historic Siberia may also be their contender. “SAR” was the consonant origin of all languages

2. Culture and Philosophy of the old world was originated in the southern slope of the Himalayas but Greece imported it for the first time to distribute it all over Europe and North Africa.
