2. THE CREATORS
Who were the people behind the Indus civilisastion? Archaeologists have clearly
established that this civilization had a continuous history from Mehergarh to the present
day.
Indus tradition
Indus Civilization-
Integration Era
Polished Ware
Let us quote him further, “Through the process of over expansion and changes in
important river patterns, the Harappan urban centres began to decline around 1900 BCE
and the unifying cultural symbols of the cities were no longer useful.Some of the
destroyed the Indus cities and established a totally new culture language in the sub-
continent. It should be noted that most scholars have rejected the invasion hypothesis for
the Indus system in the west and the Jamuna river to the east. As the river dried up
people migrated to the Central Indus Valley, the Ganga-Yamuna valley or the fertile
plains of Gujarat in western India. The Indus River itself began to change its course,
disappeared.
Others, such as writing and weights, or aspects of Indus craft technology, art,
agriculture and possibly social organization, continued among the Late and Post –
Harappan cultures.
urban civilization that arose during the Early Historical period, around
600 BC……”.
We have now heard this from the horse’s mouth since the misconception of the
mythical horse like that of the foreign invasion theory has led astray the
employed in the seals is Vedic Bharata. They worshipped the Sun-god by all
names and sounds ( the Word was God principle ) like Agna,Indra,Mitra,Varuna,
(an elephant). The bull was made a horse, a cow and an elephant.
Under the influence of migrating and conquering peoples like the Dravidians ,the
Greeks etc. the Hindus departed from the early Indus way of life by developing new gods
like Krishna,Raama,Siva etc., the introduction of the cremation of the dead and later the
development of the fixed stellar zodiac which has now become irrelevant in religious
rituals.
However in portraying the deities and making articles the same old traditions is
continued even today. In the Indus age a paatra used to be decorated with patra and
bhadra symbols. Now we portray Krishna along with a pasu (a cow) to show bhaasu (the
Sun) or Vaasu (Vishnu). He is painted niila (blue) or Krishna (black) to show siira (srii-
the Sun).He wears a piita(yellow) dress to show he is piitha (the Sun). He has a cakra to
make him sa-kara (with rays) or Sakra (Indra) and he carries a murali (a flute) to
announce pulari (dawn, the Sun). He carries a gada (a club) to show kaasa (light) and
daaha (burning, heat). His crest has a barha(peacock-tail) to show barhi (light, fire) and
barhishkesa(fire).
->Unicorn bull->rudra) was made a uni(agni)-tusked bhadra naaga (an elephant) and
Ganesa is often figured out of patras (leaves) to show that he is bhadra (an elephant) and
bharata (fire). Like the bhadraasva he too has a single tusk (Unicorn) and he has a kara ( a

The kola(go-la;usha,hvaana,loka,suna,suura) drawing is continued even
today.(But the influence of the Greeks, the Muslims and the British people and the
teachings of Buddhism and Jainism have caused considerable regional variations in the
ritual observations among the people of India,especially between the North and the
South.The South remained practically insulated from the invaders of the north and hence

A study of Sumerian , Egyptian ,Akkadian ,Hebrew and Toda languages might reveal
the Mesopotamian economies around 2000BCE due to the severe droughts which in turn
disrupted the Indus trade systems and languished the Indus economy also.Adding further
woes to the ailing economy was the influx of millions of the Mesopotamian(Dravidian)
Milleniunm BCE. These migrating huge crowds ruined the administration systems and
devasted the state like swarms of locusts.Political and economic anarchy began to prevail

A WELL
The wells of Harappa were made with wedge shaped bricks to make a strong circular
structure. An oval well is located in room 19 northeast of the Great Bath. Wells were
usually situated inside private buildings, but public wells were also made along the main
street.
This well is a strong external evidence to understand the nature of the language of
Harappa. Wells are usually made circular to cover maximum volume in minimum area.
Now bhadra (a circle) is also patra (a leaf) and paatra(a vessel). Patra pa(water;to
protect)-traa (protect), dhara (bear). This explains why the well had the shape of the

with a drain covered with lime stone blocks. Close to the bath is a large building complex
containing around 78 rooms and passage ways, but no well. Probably this was a mutt
(residence of priests).The Hindu temples are usually associated with baths even today for
totu-touch-and dars-sight.In the ancient civilizations the devotees had to bathe and purify
themselves before they went to the Priest King (son of Ra,son of god) and touched the
The Great Bath is described in the New Testament as Bethesda (John: 5.2) and
Bethsida(Mark: 8.22) where Jesus worked miracles of healing the blind,the lame and the
disabled. The pool was located near the Sheep Gate.The sheep gate is Aries and Bethsida
is Pisces.At dawn the blind get sight (andhakaara – darkness – makes everybody andha or
blind) and the disabled (the people who were asleep) begin to walk.Where does Bethesda

Brahmins used to worship the fire in the water with the Gaayatri mantra in the Braahma
muhuurta so that the Sun could be made to rise! Sarasvati is saras(a pool,head)-paci(fire)
and represents the Pisces positon of the diurnal Sun.Probably rituals were conducted in

Sraavana Dhanishta ceremony of the Brahmins were probably celebrated in this bath.The
priest king was the god father and the god teacher.The provision of broad passages
around the bath with steps for entry into the pool of water indicates these.The special
ceremonial oil baths( the oil ensures a total removal of dirt which signify darkness) taken
on Deepavali day is also perhaps a continuation of this rite.The Egyptians too followed
this rite.
BHARATA
Bharata has dictionary meanings as fire, a weaver, a potter, a priest ( hence a priest
is called father),a servant, an actor, a dancer, a hireling, mercenary, a barbarian , the fire

4. THE SUMERIANS AND THE BHARATS
Sumerian History

FARMERS who came from the NORTH or EAST and who brought with them the
Samarran culture. It is not known if they were the actual Sumerians identified with the
later Uruk culture. The Uruk period is characterized by the change in painted pottery
on fast wheels.
complex, including the state granary (similar to the building complex, the great bath and
granary at Mohenjo-daro!). As time passed, the deities multiplied, there being specific
gods for aching limbs, goddesses for greenery and pasture. Every aspect of life thus came
to be associated with its own minor deity that required gifts or placation and the magic
spells also multiplied to meet the requirements of the devotees. The Sumerians invented
(or inherited?) the picture hieroglyphs which later developed into the cuneiform writing.
The Sumerian military used chariots (carts) harnessed to four onagers ca. 2600
BCE.
The actual Sumerians are considered to be a non-Semitic, non-Indo –European(?)
people who entered Mesopotamia from the East around the fourth Millenium BCE
Mythology:page-6). They were experts in making Mud Bricks and City Building which
led to the development of the Sumerian city civilization. These city states were ruled by
a priest (en), king (lugal) or governor (ensi) who were closely associated with the city’s
With the coming of the brick making people to Sumer, a civilisational change
developments. Let us now ask a simple question. Did the younger generations of Bharata
migrate to Sumer as in the thousand years from 6500 BCto 5500 BC the population may
have increased manifold and consequential explorations for new farming and pastoral
areas might have become a necessity? The civilizational as well as language traits
suggest this possibility. The construction of the brick ziggurats, the evolution of the
location of seals at Sumer with Harappan themes <<DTSI PP247-250>> etc. indicate
this.
Let us now look at a few Sumerian words to find out if they have any relation to
words in Bharata.

Tree Worship
Like the Bharats (Ref: seals: DK 1909, H-188, H-178 B, H-179, M-1186 etc.) the
Sumarians too worshipped the tree(dru=srii). The story of the Huluppu tree with which

The huluppu(paadapa-a tree) can be one of these two-pipala or bilva. <<Since the
Egyptians have chosen the bata (pipala-vatavriksha) for their version of the story, it is

Like the sunrise which is 3 hours later, it took the Mehrgarhians (Bharats
ca.6500BCE) 3000 years to reach Egypt. Their arrival is marked by the appearance of the
mud brick making people in Egypt ca. 3000 BCE. We can call this the Bharata
BRICKMAKING people arrived in Egypt around 3000 BCE from the East and they
were responsible for the sudden changes in the various facets of Egyptian civilization like
the new and improved methods of agriculture, building of canals for irrigation, building
of the pyramids etc. They were a brick making people and their early tombs at Abydos
were constructed of brick and wood (compare with the simple coffin burial of the

We have seen the influence of Bharata on the Sumerian and Egyptian languages.
Let us now look up for the Bharata influence on a primitive Dravidian language, namely,
the TODA.
speech styled Dravidian, the language of a group of primitive, illiterate and perhaps war
like tribes who, between three thousand and four thousand years ago migrated from tracts
of Western Asia and penetrating India, probably through Baluchistan and the natural
waterlines of the country, filled all its western and southern districts,pushing before them,
in some periodof their advance, the various tribes of the Kol aborigines’<<APATD>>.
This statement though made in the 19th century is only validated further by the
latest research findings. There were severe droughts in Mesopotamia around 2000
BC which led to increase in salinity of the soil and decrease in agricultural productivity.
There was a major depopulaton of Southern Mesopotamia, leading to the collapse of the
Sumerian culture. During the period from 2100 BC to 1700 BC, there was a major
shift in population from Southern Mesopotamia towards the north and the
the migration of these people into Baluchistan. Their entry into Harappa began
around 2000 BC when the Harappan civilization itself was struggling and waning
This is black – headed . The Sumerians called themselves sag-giga ( the black-
migration of the Sumerians through Bharata and subordination to the Bharats with
consequential loss of identity. This explains the existence of Dravidian Brahui in the

towards the end of the rule of Naram –Sin (2254-2218 BC), the grandson of Sargon, a
Meluhha king was among the many kings rebelled against him.Now
migrated to Sindh?)
<www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothal>
We have seen that both Dravida and sag-giga has the same
sense as ‘Krishna’.
Does this mean that Vyaasa had in mind the exploits of Sargon
being the Sun God, the exploits of the king were the exploits of

Alexander the Great, conquered Bharata. Add another 2000
Their sojourn in Harappa was not long and peaceful as there would have been
frequent fights between them and the Bharats who were much advanced in civilization.
However this explains the presence of Dravidian Brahui in the Harappan region and
the similarity of several Rigvedic terms to Tamil terms. Unable to withstand the
pressure of the vedic people the Dravidians migrated to the south in search of fertile lands
and green pastures for their cattle and sheep. The Bharata (vedic) civilization continued in
the north into the historical period without any break. However as a result of the sojourn of
the Dravidian tribes, their blood mixed with that of the Bharata groups and the present day
The advancement to the South was also not exclusively on Dravidian lines.
Probably there were Bharata leaders for them as the Dravidians adopted for themselves the
superior religious and social practices of the Bharats leading to cultural subordination. The

Marshall had further pointed out that “In the case of the Dravidians… that a
possible early contact with the Aryas… rendered Sanskrit, especially in regard to all pious
superior religious instinct of the Arya”. Now it is clear that this contact began around
2000BC when they entered Baluchistan and sojourned among the Bharats.
The Todas were the least cultivated of the Dravidian(Turanian) races and the Toda
language had no compositions, written or unwritten. Hence a study of their language will
reveal how Bharata has influenced them for the past 4000 years.

8 .THE LIFE OF THE HARAPPANS.
The life of the Harappans are clearly shown by the Rig,Atharva ,Yajur and Sama
vedas and the Brahmanas.The language of the mantras was the sacred literary form of
tribes.These people people were of various tribes and spoke many dialects.
( AV:12.1.45).The mantras were composed in an artificial style with well defined metrical
forms under the influence of a fully developed literary convention.The vedic language is
a caste language ,an artificially archaic dialect ,handed down from one generation to the
Bharats.Dasyu(udaya,yuddha,suta,Juda),
Daasa(desa,raaja),Anaasa(adhama,sama),pani(haani,vaani,paani) ,

script.) and agni is said to shine specially for the Bharatas(RV.5.2.1,6.16.45),the Bharatas
Bharata.) and India came to be called Bhaarata from the fire worship and the language.
The people who inhabited the valley were not roving pastoral tribes as claimed by some
scholars(this applies more rightly to the Dravidian tribes!) but lived in organized society ,
and their anger was dreaded(AV.6.40.2).The stone castles(RV.4.30.20) and stone walls
(AV.5.10.7) were not rock but brick as brick(adri,bhadra) is rock.The wooden pillars had
figures of unrobed girls(RV.4.32.23 cf.the dancing girl and the nude deity inH-3305.
Ayas(Iron) mentioned in the veda (aayasiipura RV.7.3.7,7.15.14) refer to copper and gold

then gave the abhiivarta oblation to the gods(RV.10.174 cf.M-1186).Kings levied heavy
etc based on their grade. Names of some of them are Duhsiima Prithavaana,
The chief occupation of the people was agriculture(Cf. from Mehergarh till the present it
is the same). They ploughed the land with a plough(siira RV.10.101.3 or laangala
winnowing baskets (sthivi) were used(RV.10.27.15) and grain was transported in carts to
The mearure for grain was the khaarii(RV.4.32.17).Their next important profession was

A camasa was compared to the skull (AV.10.8.9 .Cf the jar symbol replacing the head
in scripts). Rishis composed hymns and taught boys to learn them by rote(RV.10.103.5).
There were male and female dancers(RV.1.130.7,1.92.4 cf the image of the dancing girl),
spies(RV.7.87.3),barbers(RV.10.142.4),usurers(RV.8.55.10),tamer of

Battles were fought for seed and offspring ,waters,kine and cornlands(RV.6.25.4),for
wives(RV.4.17.16) for pastures and for houses(RV.7.56.22 ).The war of the ten kings
was between the bands of the Aryas and the Dasas.(RV.7.84.7).The war drum dundubhii
was sounded to mark the beginning of war.(RV.6.47.31) and the end of it.(RV.1.28.5 cf.
the drum seals).The defeated enemies were castrated and their genitals
removed(AV.4.37.7),their vitals pierced (AV.5.8.9),arms chopped(AV.6.65.2) and the
The vedic people knew of the sea and export trade as given by the words
potra(Dravidian: ota),potavanik etc.Those who desired wealth sent ships to the sea
ships with a hundred oars(RV.1.116.5) going to distant lands for sale and barter
(AV.3.15.4) etc. indicate the existence of foreign trade with Sumer and even

Though the people were divided into the four castes there was no restriction with regard

10.55.1 cf.compare this with the same type of belief of the Egyptians) .The houses of the

bags(RV.5.44.4),bowls(RV.6.8.13),buckets(AV.4.16.7),sieves(AV.9.6.16),spoons(AV.9.6.1

The people ate both animal and vegetable food.Horses(AV.6.71.1),
eaten.Fish and birds also used to be eaten. Milk products and honey were also eaten.
Rice, barley, beans and sesamum were the chief vegetable food stuffs.Chariots and carts
The chief amusement of the nobles was chariot racing(RV.9.32.5;8.69.4) .Hunting was
were served(AV.6.70.1).
Women enjoyed a good social status .Hence it is said from olden time the matron
beard.(AV.6.58).The priests shaved their head leaving a tuft worn in a knot. The Vasishtas
wore this knot on the right(RV.7.33.1.Cf.note the tuft of the seven priests attending the
sacrifice in M-1186.The unicorn bhadra’s single horn denotes the tuft of the Bharata
house.The Egyptian and Christian priests wore white robes) ,but others red or blue
yama(AV.1.14.2Cf.seals where bulls mate with women).The new born baby was washed
(AV.2.10) which became the rite of baptism later.Amulets were worn to avert the evil eye
(AV.4.9.6) and to ward off illness.A most powerful amulet was the trivrita (AV.5.28).
The soma oblation was often associated with animal sacrifice(RV.5.43.7).At the time of
oblations the gods were invoked by their secret names.(RV.9.95.2). Vishtarii offering
is extolled in AV.4.34 .Pious people performed the sataudanam where a hundred pots of
boiled rice were given away(AV.9.9). Sacrifices were given on New Moon and Full Moon
might have been the Ephedra or the body( tanu,somos,manusha) , blood(sona) , fire(sona)
The meat of the sacrificial victim was cooked and offered to the gods and eaten by the
avasa –mesha = the Aries Sun) denotes the sacrifice of the buffaloe or the
king.(RV.1.162.11-19).It was believed that the sacrificial victim did not die but went to
the gods(RV.1.162.21,AV.9.5.8). It is said that Sunsepa was tied to the sacrificial stake for
being sascrificed but escaped by composing hymns to Varuna and other gods.(RV.1.24-
30).
The year was divided into twelve months and occasionally an intercalary month was
added to make the year agree with the seasons.A month had thirty days and the year had
360 days. The day was divided into 30 parts and the night into thirty parts.(RV.6.59.6) or
four yaamams(AV.6.21.2).The year was also divided into three seasons of four months
and six seasons of two months each.(AV.6.55.2).The 28 lunar mansions beginning with
Krittika and including Abhijit are named in AV.19.7 and Taittiriya samhita 4.4.10.
Upon death the fire worshippers were cremated but others were buried.(AV.28.2.34).
Before cremation aBrahmin’s staff or the Kshatriya’s bow were taken away from
their hands(AV.18.2.59,60Cf.the scripts with.staff and bow and arrow).The dead man’s
wife had to lie down by the side of the husband on the pyre(RV.10.18.7) but was then
accepted by the deadman’s brother as his wife and taken back home.(AV.18.3.3).A goat
was killed and placed on the pyre and burnt along with the dead man to send him to
by the fire of cremation and the auspicious sacrificial fire tiger(jaatavedasCf.H-94) was
With the fall of the Harappan culture the Vedic Indra culture began to fade with the rise

later the Bharats defeated his descendants to reclaim sovereignty.But again the strength

Thus kara (a ray) becomes sara (an arrow), raksha (protection) becomes daksha (fire),
gavya (ghee) becomes havya (oblation), medhaa (power) becomes netaa (a leader),
bhaana (light) becomes Kaama(god of love), dhanvii (an archer) becomes anvii(a finger)

even after the passage of five thousand years, still bears striking resemblances to the
original alphabets devised by the Bharata writers eg:A is the legs of a man, C is the
Moon, V is a hand,P is a leaf and so on. We can now have a look at the common inter
conversions of the alphabets, that make similar words as in cakra (a wheel), dahana (fire),
prajaa (a son, a citizen), rakta (blood), raksha (protection), Sakra (Indra), zarga (a chapter

Hence the highest frequency scripts contain words that were most frequent in
interactions among the people and with the deities during fire sacrifices. The preference
for some scripts in Mohenjo-daro and Harappa may be due togotra( family) preferences
of the scribes of various schools for particular deities.The observation of Dr. R.Meadow
that these tablets were found mostly like thrown away items confirms the fact that
most of these were notes prepared by gurus(Rig) to give instructions to their disciples.

CONCLUSION
1. Bhaarata has an unbroken cultural history from Mehrgarh till today. The people are
by and large one and the same. Archaeological studies confirm this.
2. The Indus-Sarasvati culture is the Bharata culture. It belonged to the vedic people.
4. The argument of some indologists that the language is proto-Dravidian is not true.
5. The argument of some indologists that the Harappans did not use a writing system
is not true. In fact it is from their alphabets that the Egyptian and Semitic alphabets
were developed.
6. The Aryans led a nomadic life and did not have written works of literature is not
true. The Aryans were the Bharats. Their written compositions constitute the vedic
works.
7. The Bharats worshipped the Sun-god. The Sumerians and Egyptians did the same.
Proto Chritianity can be seen in the vedic religion. The Bible was conceived in
9. There was close cultural and trade contacts or relations between the ancient
