LolSeriously? Because some one says so....? Rig Vedic Aryans entering in the 15th century BCE? Classic AIT with Max Muller dates......C'mon.
Smart!!!
I should 've refrained from posting that link(from Bhadriraju Krishnamurthi's book).
As far as I understand your point is, that there is no Dravidan presence in Northern India. But I believe the opposite is true.
There's no way things with Dravidan stamped on them would be found in SSC sites, unless inhabitants of those sites had traveled southwards and eastwards (as their imprints 're found as far as Kampilya). But the constant attacks in northern India should be a reason why it retains lesser amount of the SSC culture, au contraire, southern India has witnessed lesser foreign attacks.But let me assure you that I'm not claiming Dravidan authorship on SSC, because it would be vacuous to do so.
I must confess I've no idea if it was merely trade or was it the migration which caused such cultural influence.
Neither me nor you 're an archeologist(i know tat for sure!!!), so yes we can only believe what others say(unless we pick up axes and rush to SSC sites to make new discoveries).Bang Galore said:Because some one says so....?
Lol.... Noooh!Oops.....
Btw I told already you deserve to be at least TTA in pdf ....
You can always count on my vote for the above suggestions....
I will call you hereon with a new nick name Vidushi(विदुषी).... I hope you wont mind....

Anyone who makes good use of google can become an internet pundit.
ET, as of yet nobody(on this thread) has supported Rajaram's or Jha's theory that they've deciphered SSC script. So why get raucous over it?And you know I am not going to accept all this hype. This is more Horseplay at Harappa * HORSEPLAY IN HARAPPA
This man called Sanjay Sonawani is a novelist and a story writer, and it is his blog in which he made those claims. That cartoon can not be compared to RS Bhist who is an archaeologist, known for his scholarship on Indus valley civilization(SSC!!!) and efforts to conserve Indian national monuments.And read this by a Indian * Myth of the lost river Saraswati.... We should not let myth and history conflate.
Infact the following prove otherwise:
1) a Pakistani archeologist accepting the presence of Saraswati river bed- video 1
2) The 2nd video shows a pakistani farmer and a Pakistani village which benefited by digging wells on Saraswati's dry river bed. - Video 2
3) Lets not forget that geoscientists found "sandy fluvial deposits approximately 5400 yrs old at Fort Abbas in Pakistan, and recent work on the upper Ghaggar-Hakra interfluve in India also documented Holocene channel sands that are approximately 4300 yrs old.
All these point towards the presence of a mighty river called Saraswati.
ET, pls click on those videos and watch 'em before vehemently opposing everything I say.
I've no idea why you would take a story-writer,blogger, seriously and not an archeologist?
Ppl like Sanjay Sonawani should stick to what they do best....writing crappy stories and producing crappy movies.
May be ...may be not.I am more partial to the view the pre Indus cultures nurtured in the region of West Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Turkemistan. From there as they matured they took root in the Indus basin in Pakistan. Thus I am confident Indus civilization is central to Ancient Pakistan as Nile was to Ancient Eygpt.
As the oldest harappan site called Bhirrana(dates back to 7500 B.C.E) has been found on this side of the border, makes me doubt if what you said could be true. Let me also add that the largest SSC site, rakhigarhi, again lies on this side of the border, which means that the epicenter of SSC is within the subcontinent.
Or even if I were to assume that Mehrgarh in Pakistan(which dates back to 7000B.C.E) is the oldest site, then again let me remind you that SSC was predated by the first farming cultures in south Asia, which emerged in the hills of what is now called Balochistan...or so it is believed. So your assumption that Turkemistan had influenced SSC or Indus valley civilisation (in your lexicon) would be very wrong.
