The Indus Valley Civilization is also known as the Harappan Civilization, after Harappa, the first of its sites to be excavated in the 1920s, in what was then the Punjab province of British India, and is now in Pakistan.
Jainism originated in northeastern India as a rejection of aspects of Hinduism like animal sacrifice and the caste system. It is centered around 24 great teachers called tirthankaras, with the most important being Mahavira. Jains believe in nonviolence, nonattachment, karma, and reincarnation. They seek to purify the soul through moral behavior and spiritual discipline to achieve liberation from rebirth.
The document summarizes the Harappan civilization which flourished between 2500-1500 BCE along the Indus River valley. Some key aspects include:
- The Harappan civilization had two major cities, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, with populations around 35,000-40,000. There were over 300 smaller settlements.
- They developed sophisticated urban planning with drainage systems and large public baths, indicating importance of cleanliness.
- By 1900 BCE the civilization was already in decline possibly due to environmental factors like deforestation. Both major cities were abandoned by 1500 BCE.

The G-20 summit held in March 2009 received positive press but may have done more harm than good. While countercyclical fiscal policy and additional IMF resources were discussed, most plans could have been implemented without a summit. Further, the summit's vague calls for fiscal stimulus may provide cover for countries to increase spending. However, the real fiscal responses have been small, with China doing the most but still having a small global impact. The summit also failed to significantly increase IMF resources despite indications more borrowers will need help. The regulatory agenda is also concerning as it mandates immediate tightening which could further slow credit during a recession.

When and where was Rigveda composed? How is it related to thee vast Harappan archaeological tradition. These are quintessential questions on ancient Indian history which do not have direct answers. I examine a large body of evidence to arrive at plausible answers.
This document proposes an alternative model to the Aryan Migration Theory to explain the spread of Indo-European languages in ancient India. It suggests that Indo-Aryan speakers first migrated in small numbers to northern India, then trickled south due to climate changes. They synthesized with the Harappan civilization, gradually gaining dominance when populations moved to the Gangetic plains around 1900 BC. Further cultural contacts led to the spread of Indo-Aryan language and culture across India by 1400 BC, without large migrations being required to explain the linguistic and cultural changes. Genetic studies show input from Central Asia was likely small and elite-driven rather than a mass migration or invasion. The model aims to resolve issues with theories proposing large
This document proposes an alternative model to the Aryan Migration Theory to explain the spread of Indo-European languages in ancient India. It suggests that Indo-Aryan speakers first migrated in small numbers to northern India, then trickled south due to climate changes. They synthesized with the Harappan civilization, gradually gaining dominance when populations moved to the Gangetic plains around 1900 BC. Further cultural contacts led to the spread of Indo-Aryan language and culture across India by 1400 BC, without massive migrations or population replacement. Genetic studies show Central Asian genetic influence on upper caste Indians, suggesting an elite dominance model of cultural diffusion with limited migration. The document argues for delinking language and culture from race or population
Part One of this paper provides a case for rejecting the Autochthonous Aryan theory and
proposes an alternative to the Aryan Migration Theory, i.e. it examines why the genetic input from
Central Asia may have been extremely small and how the Spread of IE language and culture in
India might have occurred in trickle in scenarios i.e. when movements of IE speakers were small. It
suggests that the IE speakers first migrated into and settled in the northernmost tip of the subcontinent,
trickled into the plains due to climatic changes in the northernmost tip of India,
synthesized with the Harappans, fused with them and got the upper hand when the transfers of
population from North-West India into the Gangetic plains took place around 1900 BC, and then
desynthesized with whatever was left of the Harappan civilization till it vanished around 1400 BC.
Cultural contacts with West Asia and then with South India would complete the process of Spread
of IE language and culture in India. This paper suggests the need for delinking race with spoken
and written forms of language and culture while studying the identity of the Harappans, analyzes
the role of internal and external migrations in shaping Indian culture and questions some other longheld
assumptions about Post-Harappan India. This paper also suggests that an integrated
framework be developed for studying Ancient India. This paper stresses the need for adopting via
media approaches for resolving the Aryan issue and comes up with a new hypothesis which the
author hopes will be taken up for a debate and discussion. This also proposes a concurrent dating
paradigm and a new heuristic framework which the Author hopes will be useful both for future
cultural studies of Ancient India and for conducting further archeological excavations, and then uses
this framework to make his own inferences about the cultural and religious history of the subcontinent.
The methodology the author adopts is to take the Aryan Migration Theory (1500 BC) as a
base and work backwards to arrive at a fresh set of conclusions. Part Two contains all the major
conclusions such as methods to derive and reconstruct the languages of the IVC, the origin of IA
languages etc.

Lok Satta - comment on proposed Section 17A in Prevention of Corruption ActDilip Sankarreddy
The document summarizes and critiques a proposed amendment to the Prevention of Corruption Act that would require investigative agencies to obtain approval from the Lokpal or Lokayukta before investigating any allegations of corruption against public servants.
The key points made are:
1) The amendment would require prior approval for investigating any recommendations or decisions made by public servants, paralyzing anti-corruption efforts given the millions of public servants.
2) Obtaining such approval would involve lengthy procedures outlined in the Lokpal Act, delaying investigations significantly.
3) Rather than facilitating anti-corruption work, this change would overwhelm and weaken the Lokpal/Lokayukta while diluting their role and preventing

Initial
Evidences
The current Chronology of Indian Civilization and history is dubious
and questionable. A long evolutionary sequence of literature, and
cultural and spiritual texts are evident prior to the birth of the
Buddha and the Mahavira. It must have had taken a few 1000 years to
achieve that. From the early Vedic Srutis (oracular form) before it
took form of literature to later Vedic Age and Puranic literature, it is
definitely few 1000 years. But the long Chronology has suffered
suppression, compromises, contractions, and distortions. Three
major faults were inducted:
As a result, Indian Knowledge Systems today has succumbed to the
faults, the biases and the distortions.
1. To limit the entire antiquity of Indian Vedic Civilization within 2000 BCE
to best accommodate an Aryan Invasion Myth leading to a split of Vedic
culture and the Indus Valley Civilization !
2. To delink everything prior to 2000 BCE as India’s Pre-Aryan Indian past
based on a notion of aboriginal Dravidian complex, which had succumbed
to invading and aggressive Aryan hordes !
3. To propose a ‘divide and rule’ paradigm in terms of supremacy of
language, culture, philological and scientific contributions by the invading
Aryans from the West, thereby downgrading the Cosmological and
Altruistic foundations of the Vedas and misinterpreting them as per a racial
and genetic semantics.
1. The First four pages of the Calendar initiate the basic pointers, either
evaded or manipulated by the Colonial Historians.
2. The next four pages forward a more decisive set of four evidences that
brings the Vedic Culture and the Indus Valley Civilization (7000 BCE – 1500
BCE) under one fold. The evidences are just a tip of an iceberg of evidences.
3. The last four pages forwards the first reasons why the Colonial rulers
were desperate to forge such a myth, an ‘error’ that had gone through the
web of geo-political popularization confusing and disturbing humanity
through the racial outcomes of the World Wars (1914 – 45).
3. The tributaries of Indus as mentioned in the Rig Veda are
sourced to the Siwalik ranges in the Central-Eastern
Himalayas. One can trace an entire network of settlements
along these tributaries i.e., Beas, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, and
Sutlej, from the Eastern Himalayas to the Western River Valley.
Also, the Eastern Sanpo Valley is the seat of pre-historic
availability of proto-Paleolithic Riwoche horses found in India
before the Aryan invasion (Time, Vol 146, No 22) and (Down to
Earth, 15 February 1996).
Further east of Indus is the Ganga-Gomati-Ghaghara
Civilization. The river Gomati recurs in the Rig Veda, specifically

The glaciers of Mount Kailash is the source of two important river Valley Civilizations –
(a) SINDHU or INDUS Valley Civilization from its Pre-Harrapan (7000 BCE) to Post-Harappan diaspora
(1000 BCE) in the West and (b) the SANPO or Brahmaputra Valley Civilization in the East
Republic Day
the 8th Mandala. It is the very seat of the ancient
forest of Sages, Naimisharanya, as mentioned in the
Upanishads, and now adjacent to the historic
Lakshmanapuri (later Lucknow).
The Colonial historians have repetitively avoided the
East-West trajectory of Indian Civilization. They forged
an Invasion Myth from the West through the Eurasian
Steppes to intelligently contain the Vedic culture
within 2000 BCE. The archaeology of the Indus Valley
was therefore misinterpreted and de-contextualized.

The constructs of space, time and causation is the bedrock of
Vedic religious ideals. The law of causation is based on a chain
of interdependence further based on subtle actions and
reactions of the flow and value of work (Karma-vada) observed
by an individual. The resultant is a chain of reincarnation,
through transmigration and metempsychosis (Janmantar-vada)
of souls at the cosmic level. Rig Veda confirms that the life-
principle of Agni as a chain (Vayu or Sutra-atman) over many
lives (Jataveda) carrying its subtle repository of experiences
(3rd Mandala 26.2-7). The science of Palin-genesis constitute
the essence and practice of Indian spirituality. This is gnosis,
The cyclic or non-linear patterns of SWASTIKA and arrow of TIME
(Forward-future and Backward-past) of the Arya Rishis are also evident in
Indus Valley Seals
and the ontology of ‘being and becoming’. Indian
spirituality is therefore prognosis, gnosis, and return
or diagnosis (Guruvada or Avatarvada).
The gnostic foundations of Indian spirituality is an
alien or unknown element to civilizations in Europe,
whether from the Caucasus Eurasia or from the
Steppes. It is also missing in the Semitic foundations
of religions practiced in the West and in the Middle
East. Therefore, the invading Aryans, if any, had
nothing to offer to the development of Indian
Cosmology !

Rig Veda (X. 167.1) mentions ‘Yogakshema-vishayaih karma’, and
Rig Veda (VII.36….) further mentions ‘Yogebhi Kshemebhi’.
Descriptions of Yoga recurs in the Rig Veda, specifically in 5.81.1
which reads ‘Seers of the vast illumined seer yogically [yunjante]
control their minds and their intelligence’. A system of Cosmology
and vast constructs of realization (daharayate iti dharma) of ‘being
and becoming’ were established. Yoga as the highest and final
aim of all initial Vedic rituals, is evident in the seals of the Indus
Valley Civilization. They have two threads:
1. The inner thread of contemplation, meditation and higher
levitation to transcending space-time-and-causation, which is
Yoga-Samadhi. Who achieves that is a Yogi. This is Krishna (black).
The system of Yoga and Kshema as realized and developed by the Arya Sages are synchronous
with the Indus Valley Seals
2. The return thread of the Yogi brings back the
supreme knowledge to where it started. This is
Kshema or Tantra. Who achieves that is a
Mahayogi. The Seven Sages (Saptarshis) are the
forerunners of this second and highest level. This
is Sukla (white).
Such systems of gnostic foundations was
unknown to invaders from Europe, Caucasus
Eurasia and the Steppes.
Aryan invasion, if any, did not contribute to the
essence of Indian Aryan Civilization based on
Spiritual gnosis.

Rig Veda (1. 164) and the whole of Yadjur Veda mention the
constructs of flow (Kriya) as cyclic changes. They occur at the
cosmic level, and are expressed as evolution at the individual
level. The parable of the flow of seasons; an iteration of cycles of
summer and winter, or spring and autumn are various allegories
or metaphors. Chinese philosopher Confucius and Lao-Tzu have
also used these parables.
In the quadrangular system of changes, the Indian Arya Rishi-
mind expanded the idea. Within the fold of the Indian Climate
and the Indian ecosystem, they observed the flow in 6 stages, the
parable of called ‘Sada Ritu Chakra’ as an underlying dynamism
over time.
Flow as realized by the Arya Sages is synchronous with the Indus Valley Seals (5500 – 2000 BCE)
To the conventional 4 seasons, the Indian Rishis
drew inspiration from the additional two, which is
Monsoon (rainy season) and Pre-Autumnal
festivity (Saradiya), very much in the Indian
ecosystem of climate and culture.
The cycle of the six seasons is the epitome of the
wheel of life in the Vedas, and stands for the
steadfast parable of a Eka-sringa (Unicorn)
Rhinoceros in Buddhism, evident again and again
in the Indus Valley seals. The invading Aryans, if
any, had no idea of these subtle constructs. It
fulfills the disapproval of the invasion myth.

And what your European Pundits say about the Aryan's swooping down from
some foreign land, snatching away the lands of the aborigines and settling in
India by exterminating them, is all pure nonsense, foolish talk! Strange, that our
Indian scholars, too, say amen to them; and all these monstrous lies are being
taught to our boys! This is very bad indeed.
In what Veda, in what Sukta, do you find that the Aryans came into India from a
foreign country? Where do you get the idea that they slaughtered the wild
aborigines? What do you gain by talking such nonsense? Vain has been your
study of the Râmâyana; why manufacture a big fine story out of it?
The object of the peoples of Europe is to exterminate all in order to live
themselves. The aim of the Aryans is to raise all up to their own level, nay, even to
a higher level than themselves. The means of European civilisation is the sword;
of the Aryans, the division into different Varnas. This system of division into
different Varnas is the stepping-stone to civilisation, making one rise higher and
higher in proportion to one's learning and culture. In Europe, it is everywhere
victory to the strong and death to the weak. In the land of Bhârata, every social
rule is for the protection of the weak.

and that of Resurrection of life, earmarked as MATARISVAN.

tradition. This tradition is unknown to the West, where
nations are hailed as fatherlands. The idea is obviously

Rig Veda (1.35.1 and 7.35.10) forwards repetitive
evidences on the unity of the diverse cosmic field as a
pillar of time and light. The Sages hail him as Shiva, and
the Arya rishis, who have attained that stage of
enlightenment, called ‘Shiva Sakha’. It identifies the
highest Lordship as Kshetrapati Shambhu. The black
(Krishna) and white (white) tradition of the Yadjur Veda
provide two full chapters on the Shiva, the cosmic
column of light and the rolls of time.

‘Shiva’ as a non-Aryan Godhead. On the contrary, Shiva is
an integral part of the Vedic literature and the Indus Valley

manoeuvred and widely popularized! A large scholarship is

Throughout the Rig Veda, the Sama and the Atharva
Veda, the twin riders represent an oscillating system.
They are portrayed as the giver of Madhu, the elixir of
immortality, the very secret of inter-connectedness of
consciousness in this universe. Thus Vedic Cosmology is
a direct clue to philanthropy and altruism as against
dialectics of racial superiority and inferiority, as
promoted by Colonial historians.
The idea influenced the Ying and the Yang of the Asia
Pacific to the Apollonian and Dionysian Duet of ancient

The twin Asvins represent oscillations of Night and day; Dissolution and Re-creation of the universe, in
seven-headed thought (Sages) and meters (Matrikas) in the Vedas. They are evident in the Indus Valley
artefacts (5500 – 2000 BCE)
Liberation is achieved through Yoga. It is evident as seven
chords, the Septuplet Matrix, the power of the Seven
Sages, the Sapta-Matrikas, as the seven tones of a rainbow
or the seven tunes in a musical scale.
The loom of the fabric of Aryan civilization is a vast and
warm landscape, and the Aryan Rishis are kind and
generous; their goals are sovereign and democratic! But
the objectives of the Aryan Invasion is one of aggression,
genetic superiority by race and skin color. The gospel of
the Vedas is based on principles of adaptation, acceptance
and assimilation; where as the Aryan invasion myth is
based on aggression, invasion and extermination of other
races ! They do not match.

“So great is the force of attractive generalizations and widely
popularized errors that all the world goes on perpetuating the blunder
talking of the Indo-Aryan races, claiming or disclaiming Aryan kinship
and building on that basis of falsehood the most far-reaching political,
social or pseudo-scientific conclusions."

The colonial invaders, from the Portuguese to the British, were shaken by the striking similarity between
millions of words evident in Indian languages and others in the European Tree of Linguistics.
So they had to forge an Indo-European Language system, and further design a history of invading in-migration
prior to the Buddha, Plato and Lao-Tzu. They proposed that the superior Colonial rulers invaded the inferior
India the second time in 17th century! What an audacity and arrogance!
Dovtrina Christam (Krista Purana)
by Fr. Thomas Stephens, First published work in Konkani
In 1583, English Jesuit missionary and Konkani scholar Thomas Stephens wrote a letter from Goa to his brother
(not published until the 20th Century) in which he noted similarities between Indian languages and Greek and Latin.

The colonial invaders were also shaken
and shocked by the extent of similarities.
They had to quickly maneuver and recast
a story of Asiatic Invasion via the
Caucasus and Central Steppes to prove a
one-way flow of culture and sciences
from the West to the East.
Filippo Sassetti (1540-1588), a traveler and merchant born in Florence
came to India in 1540... later in 1585
Writing privately to fellow Florentine Bernardo Davanzati in 1585, he noted
some word similarities between Sanskrit and Italian (Examples: dera / dio
'God'; sarpa / serpe 'Snake'; sapta / septum 'Seven'; ashta / otto 'eight';
nara / nove 'nine'; asthi / osteo 'Osteopathy'; jara / geriatric 'Old Age')

Adolf Hitler, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg on 30 January 1933. Hitler
rapidly established a totalitarian regime of the Teutonic, Anglo-Saxon, and the Germans on the Superior Aryan theme
& a defamed history of anti-Semitism and worldwide invasion….
More than 120 million civilians and soldiers were killed and slaughtered between 1914 and 1945 in the name of
European definition of Aryan invasion ! The problem continues...

From East to West & Return to Asia
May He who is the Brahman of the Hindus, the Ahura-Mazda of the Zoroastrians, the Buddha of the Buddhists, the
Jehovah of the Jews, the Father in Heaven of the Christians, give strength to you to carry out your noble idea!
The star arose in the East; it travelled steadily towards the West, sometimes dimmed and sometimes effulgent, till it
made a circuit of the world; and now it is again rising on the very horizon of the East, the borders of the Sanpo
(Brahmaputra river) a thousand fold more effulgent than it ever was before.

Centre of Excellence for Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS)
Shiksha Mantri Shri Dharmendra Pradhan Ji inaugurated the Centre of Excellence for Indian Knowledge Systems at IIT Kharagpur on
December 18, 2021. Chief Guest Mananiya Shiksha Mantri congratulated the Institute for the continued work in various branches of the
Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS).
Director Prof. Virendra K Tewari, Director, IIT Kharagpur, expressed the need to acknowledge and incentivize research work on Indian
Scientific Heritage through prestigious awards like Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize.
The Centre is creating a comprehensive knowledge base by involving top international experts from the best universities and institutes of India and
the world, who are pioneers in IKS in ten key domains to start with. The ten domains on IKS are to be pursued. They are:
IIT Kharagpur has the immense pleasure to forward the same, the Centre will mainly focus on:
w Collation and aggregation of a constructive data base of works already done by experts within India and around the world
w Promotion of a digital archive of selected texts of IKS for all future research activities
w Induction of an advanced scientific methods of exploration and investigation – GPR based exploration; Laser induced breakdown
spectroscopies and Photo-luminescence dating; Paleo radiology, CT computer tomography and micro-CT scans and Kirlian imagery; Paleo-
botany and advanced geo-hydrological exploration studies; Decoding NLP and allied methods of language sciences using Sanskrit based on
HMI and Natural language Processing algorithms; Advanced satellite imagery studies in landscape exploration; Image processing and
advance visual software driven decoding of Iconographic exploration (semantics and semiotics); Exploration of advanced electrical sciences in
health, healing, therapeutic and noetic science driven techniques; and many more.
The Centre will promote all-round pursuit of research, development and application of Indian Knowledge System (IKS)based on:
w Proper methodological construct of recovery
w A recovery of interconnectedness of Cosmological, Ecological and Material Sciences of IKS and the modern sciences. It is now time to recover
these interconnections and delineate ways and means garnering the application in the contemporary societal framework. Thus a recovery of
the ancient Indian way in our contemporary framework is the need of the hour. It will promote:
§ A holistic framework of education based on integration of the Indian value systems and deep ecosystem approach, and the modern
sciences
§ A science of holistic living and livelihood integrated with principles of green production, consumption, and near equitable distribution.
