SURYADEV Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 An interesting site I came across about ancient Indian history. I haven't read the scholars papers but sounds interesting from what I've watched on youtube. He's a Vedic scholar though ethnically a Greek. From what I gather he takes a Indo-centric approach to indian pre-history, ie counter argues the Aryan Invasion theory etc. BTW when he talks of Sapt Sindu, he is on about Panjab! Incase you want any relevance to this site. http://www.omilosmeleton.gr/en/default_en.asp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Anyone got any more sources about indian history/archaeology from Indian perspective, rather than European perspective? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wasn't the 'Aryan Invasion' that caused thier demise!? as western historians always claimed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 What part of 'his story' from the colonial period isn't dubious and heavily motivated???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that article, but am intrigued as to why these monsoon floods still happen today and very regularly as well, as to why the Harrappanns upped sticks and fled eastwards so quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I read that article, but am intrigued as to why these monsoon floods still happen today and very regularly as well, as to why the Harrappanns upped sticks and fled eastwards so quickly. From what i gather it amy not have been just the monsoons. I think the drying up of the Saraswati River had the biggest impact. (Though I cant exactly recall if the SR went anywhere near the present Harrapan settlements.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatanga1 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) This is a map of saraswati in shaded, it isnt actually that far off from harrappan settlements, but i dont think its that near enough either to have had too much of an impact on their livelihood. This is very interesting though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarasvati_River Edited June 6, 2012 by chatanga1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
