The Tribe

My first fiction: Its about how Aryan tribe formed

The Tribe

Long long ago, in the far far east to our civilization, there happen to be a land ; a land covered by great mountains on all three side and water on the rare side, a land where wandering men and women rod wild horses, hunted and domesticated animals for fur and meat , collected wild berries. Centuries passed families developed into small tribes, which started to occupy traversal stretch of grass land. As time passed small tribes developed into communities, each connected with various form of relations both blood and non blood. As differentiation increased specialties developed, marked by there geography and harshness of land. Over time as tribes expanded in numbers, new resource became crucial. New way of generating food, protecting large population from cold and other harshness started to haunt people. With the generation of narrative knowledge, tribal elders came to conclusion of herding the still domesticated animals, leaving behind the culture of hunting and gathering of berries.

Years passed without constrains and population grew putting more pressure on the existing grass land, elders deviced expanding mission by sending out people across their know boundaries. To achieve the objective of forward expansion instrument of travelling was to revolutionised, elders looked towards grassland beast; horse. Horse were domesticated and herded. These became part of tribe ,as one of there own. Every time when expansion mission was sent new territory- grassland- was added. This led to streching of area to a vast and varied (little) geography. Vastness brought dis connectivity, which brought distinctiveness among people. Differentiation beame the obvious result. However this brought great strength to land( some were good at maintaing grassland, some at herding, some at herds controlling, some at predicting rain and thunderstorm) until strain on resources started again. This was confronted with the new discovery that land has been covered by mountains on three direction and sea on remaining direction. Elders of that time tried in futile to dig in the history(orally transmitted) to find solution. Society which now had developed social relation was on brink of collapse. Differenciantion that had brought protectors, wheelers, riders which was boon became bane. Tribal confict erupted, social relation brought differntial unification in the once flurishing society. Conflict turned into wars, death became friendly neighbour. Land was devastated in decades. Elders professed of return of lost man of their own kind who one day will bring lost message which will unite and draw the society out of the current crisis.

After years of search society found The Man with the Lost Message, the message he said came from sky. The message he said “is eternal truth and unalienable”. The Man message spread like grassland fire. Men tested The Man through their tradition and came to conclusion that he is one their own kind, who might be decedent of one of the numerous mission that were lost during the expansion age. The Man emphasised on the Lost Message and asked people to work for lost message rather than for him. Men from all around the vast land met and discussed with him. The Man with his charm influenced every one of them; some diagreed and some agreed. Convinced men rallied behind him. He travelled all across the known land learning things from various group and teaching new thing that he had learnt from The Lost Message. He was able to consolidate the social structure of the land into one. He gave new names to events, worships, and for processes, making communication shorter, understandable and brought some uniformity. He built up relationss with skilled mind of various tribes and brought them on unified platform. This platform became body where elders were able to discuss and solve some of the problem that society faced. On the suggestion of The Man, elders set mission to unify the land and bring under a single command . Unification was marked by agreement, voluntary submission, conditional submission and other methods which were unknown to society but was brought by The Man, which he said was the part of Lost Message. Other splinter groups who were treat were assimilated by war ,some time by assasination of leader, some time by corruting officials of chief of tribe, which ever method was deemed correct.

With the years of efforts by elders and politicking mind of The Man, finally land got united. Unity brought centrality, i became we . Uniformity became norms, diversity became devient. The Man defended this form of society for the greater good of larger people. He brought concept of sacrific for greater good and glorified it. People saw no harm in endorsing his idea as other solution were not giving stability. Stability has returned after much suffering and sacrifice-as The Man conceptualised it. Forces set by the new idea culminated into a tribal state, with central authority and an army. The state ;headed by council of elders:Deus,Dig,Das ,ruled fast land . Unified under the common command. As time was running out council of elders decided to address historically unsolved issue and directed to open the historical problem (as there was any script that time tribe had specialsed group of people who were tasked with memorising the important event and passing on to next generation in the form of stories-).

Deus being nominal head invited The Man for sharing his views and unearting the solution from The Lost Message. However tribal tradition allowed only son of the land to take such work. Moreover section of grand tribal society were decenting importance given to newcomer. To solve the stand of Deus decided to use the mole present in the tradition which allowed adoption of the son and no rule was made on adoted son rights. Deus adopted The Man as his son in a tribal ceremony, with the name Manus The son Of Deus.

Manus now as an entrusted man, had huge resposibility of finding way to non-availability of land. Deus once told him that whole stability of the unified people lies on the solution.Deus was guide and teacher for Manus with whom he used to share his ideas. Deus used have conversation in question and answer (as he deemed its the write method)format on various issues however restrained himself many times from asking Manus about The Lost Message. Deus always believed in Manus's in concept of going beyond the horizon and believed that this aspect has brought Manus to this land. He felt the land is secure and this great people ,will be the force of manus ,who will eventually find the solution. It took some time for Manus to adjust with new job whose rule were verbal deposited. Deus assigned Dig who being women was good in organisational skill and was key in bringing centrality , to assist Manus, Manus took it as sign and decided to organise an event to bring specialised people to work under Deus. This was to be fare were people would discuss things, would show talents, fighting skills, new herbal plants, fire controlling technique,food yelding techniqe, weapons,etc. This was open invitation to all corner of the land , which was being organised for the first time. Various groups and elders decided to meet on vast flat land just outside the place where council of elders was housed. Hundreds of families put there tent in that land which was cut by small streams. Various events went on from women warrior fighting men warriors to display of new animal captured in the land. People stayed there for weeks, which provided Dig and Manus to mark the skilled men and women and the skills itself, that could be needed to find the solution. During fare a pattern emerged which copied the recent events i.e now the place itself had council to over see the fair, basic necesity of food,shelter and water was taken care off. Residence were now in organised condition. Small protection force also protected the recidence. Miniaturised state was built and people started to call its Atsana. Dig saw a new system emerging which had division of labor, consists of various groups who were specialised in there own work but exchanged their labors mutually. Dig conceptualised first cosmopolitan city, born out of idea of Manus.

With coming of Manus in picture things have evolved: war were stopped, people got united, peace and stability returned, new big city by name “Atsana” was founded. People started to believe that time indeed is ripe to materialised the message in The Lost Message. Manus and Dig sensed the mood, with the permission of Deus, Das who was protector and warrior head of the council of elder was sent to spread the message of an invitation; an invitation as the first message of “The Lost Message”. Das, a self made man , a sceptic by nature hated phenomenon of blind following of leaders. Many a time he had opposed the pre destination which was engulping the society but this time allowed him self to not to oppose Manus worship(as he believed). Das trusted situation for the solution rather thann the pre destination. Being believer of self consciousness, he did discuss Manus phenomenon with Deus. Who in turn assure and asked Das to have faith in the young man.

It took some time for forces of Das to spread the message of Manus to choosen one (Some identified by Manus and Dig ) and in general to warriors(other came as voluteers.). Within weeks People pored into new established city of Atsana. Land to wards east of the city was given to the unorganised warriors and other skilled people. Manus was in between the crowd unable to organise . People although respected him but question of next haunted people. Seeing lack of Manus experience Dig and Das stepped in. It was new for them too, however there own experience of how Tsana was formed gave them the future path. Within hours of discussion , both came to conclusion of diffenciating, segregating and organising on the based of the common thing for this purpose. Question was to find the purpose; Manus was showing his inexperience which both realised and sought Deus intervention(hence went to house that housed council of elders).

In council of elders, Deus was having discussion with Vesu, the man who was instrumental in organising the Tsana city. Vesu being a merchant and retailer, was always know for his grouping skills which matched with changing situation and requirement. When Dig and Das entered council hall, humble vesu sought permission to suspend his discussion and went out, so that three heads can discuss the issue. Dig and Das explained the situation that is unfolding just east of the city. All three had seen situation like this before but this was lot different : had huge number -numbering in thousands, all type from warrior(the organised one) to alchemist were present, all level of boldness was present. It was becoming a recipe of spontenious revolt if not controlled and organised. What came out of discussion was need to organise the large crowd . Deus was able to see(Council house was on high ground over looking new city and crowd ) for himself, the growing need for cosmopolitan crowd control and people who can do so. Presence of Vesu made sense to Deus. After consulting Dig and Das, Vesu was asked to enter the discussion in the council hall. Vesu has sensed the help that council needed, which became clear during course of discussion. Deus was still testing the water, vesu got proposal from Dig regarding reorganising of the crowd. Though it wasn't unanimous suggestion, Deus and Das conformed to Dig's proposal. What moved them was Veus clarity and humbleness in analysing the proposal. Vesu had organisational questions before jumping to accept their proposal.

Vesu questions:

What is aim and objective of the organisation?

Who will be head of this and what kind of authority he/she have?

What part council and Manus play with respect to this organisation?

What are criteria of differnciation within organisation?

Maintenance of the same?

How organisation must proceed during choitic situation?

What will be relation of individual and organisation?

The question of Vesu cleared the smoke about vesu's outlook and were supporting plates for the proposal which the Deus and Das still had doubt. As problem was spontenous and unwarranted council wasn't prepared for the answers, however rule of sue moto readdressal was invoked(which was being followed when answer where to be sought from the questioner itself). Vesu after getting convinced that council had no answer, went a head with his proposal with all humbleness. Vesu made it clear that he himself dont have answer for much of the question but sought apply “ought to see when deemed necessary” principle, accordingly he would answer as on when situation arrive or situation get cleared. Council accepted his proposal and gave permission to take stock of the situation, however placed him under Manus and advised him to support Manus's effort. Vesu, after approval met Manus along with Dig among the what was to called by crowd as “Loya Gira” a grand council. Dig was more that happy to see two humble person working on the situation which even council can't think of. Dig saw it has first step towards division of power and share of responsibility. Two men had a long discussion, exchanged alot of information. Dig being well connected with centrality of society, was well fed with information of skills, technology, instrument and people connected with these things. Dig became repository to unearthen information which Manus and Vesu thought necessary for organising. After much of deliberation Manus and Vesu, now onwards the Dwi, came to conclusion that crowd would be divided based on skills rather than region, from which they belong. From the data ,which Dig has collected during previous fare, The Dwi decided to have each skilled group under certain men/ women (who are to be highly skilled in the same job).

It was time to convey the decision and make way for first line of organisational heads. Dig was lack of grandness of conveying decision which Dwi have left, hence he ordered a small platform to be made on the high ground facing crowd which council guards were quick to accomplish.Dig and Manus were not unknown to crowd but Vesu was, before Dig could start with introduction of Vesu, Vesu himself came oout with introduction as the head of the organisation which was going to be announced and he is working with the approval of council. Vesu took this opportunity to welcome all and thanking those who dreamt this. Vesu allowed Manus to begin with the core announcement which would define the aim, objective and criteria of organistion. Manus announced that an organsiation will be set up with the aim in line with aim of The Lost Message; ie to find solution for moving beyond this land, maintaining present order and peace of the land. He spelt that people will be segregated based on there skills and skill will be used for achiving the aims, giving prority to finding new land beyond mountains and sea. And he also added that these grouping will be called “Ganas” and will be lead by people appointed by them, who deemed fit and well scrutinised by them. Manus than allowed Vesu to announce Ganas and those who will be contacting council on behalf of them(as one amongs equal and leader). Vesu announced that he will spell out who will be representing organisation and categories of work under organisation and then(one by one).

Categories of Dwi were:

“Varuna”: Intelligence, law and order

.(Humbal, ethically uncorruptable ,was from fastest hordes of the north. Was part of Das messaing network, was brillent in identifying and training various animals to get things done , mapper and one who knows nature well:::: as described by Vesu to people )

“Agni” : Grassland care taker, wild fire preventer.

“Mitra” : would help Agni(Mitra was one of the son of Surya a tribal head: the far eastern tribe from colder area of land)

“Soma” : curing men/women. Also help Agni in picking useful herbs and protecting herbs with the help of Tvastra who was expert in herbs.

(basically soma was from tribal medic.)

“Yama” : sanitization which would include burying dead both human and aNimal: Yama was a tribe whose people were called and were part of society for burying dead and these were from south.

After all these anouncement there came final announcement which vesu left it for Dig. Dig announced that the organisation which she will annoounce will be fighting force, most of people will be part of it. It will be having more than one person over it. Primary objective is to explore the land beyond and this group will get every coordination from other groups. Main leaders she said will be

“Indra” : A most feared warrior, well know for fighting in all condition and expert in storming the defence during unwell condition such as snow storm, rain, thunderstorm etc. People thought that nothing could stop this young warrior.
