The Saraswati River Civilization

  • Summary

  • Explore the mysteries of the Saraswati River, believed to be the cradle of the Indus-Saraswati civilisation. This book challenges the Aryan Invasion Theory, presenting evidence from archaeology, geology, satellite imagery, and linguistics to argue that the civilisation was indigenous. It links the river’s disappearance around 2000 BCE to tectonic shifts and monsoon changes, marking the civilisation's decline and migration. Highlighting cultural continuities like yoga and Soma symbolism in modern Hindu traditions, the author questions colonial-era historical interpretations and calls for a multidisciplinary reassessment of India's ancient past.
