| | Manas: History and Politics, Indus Valley |
| | The Indus Valley people had a merchant class that, evidence suggests, engaged in extensive trading. | | | Neither Harappa nor Mohenjodaro show any evidence of fire altars, and consequently one can reasonably conjecture that the various rituals around the fire which are so critical in Hinduism were introduced later by the Aryans. | | | The same kind of burnt brick appears to have been used in the construction of buildings in cities that were as much as several hundred miles apart. |

| | Impact of Dravidians on the Development of Civilisation in India |
| | Sutkagen Dor would have been on the trade route from Lothal to Mesopotamia. | | | The extensive excavations carried out at the two principal city sites, Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, indicates that this Dravidian culture was well established by about 2500 B.C. What we know of this ancient civilization is derived almost exclusively from archaeological data since every attempt to decipher the script used by these people has failed so far. | | | Recent analyses of the order of the signs on the inscriptions have led several scholars to the view that the language is not of the Indo-European family, nor is it close to the Sumerians, Hurrians, or Elamite, nor can it be related to the structure of the Munda languages of modern India. |

Asia since 6000-4500 BC, possibly spoke a language related to proto-Elamite, and the ancestor of modern Dravidian languages. | | | In the years 1914-1920 two expeditions began work at Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, and in 1924 Sir John Marshall announced to the world the discovery of a forgotten civilization; launched a decade of inten- sive excavations. | | | Indus Civilization collapsed before the composition of the hymns collected in the Rigveda, the oldest historical document of India (1200 B.C.). |

| | Harappan Civilization |
| | The religion of the Harappa people seems to have some features characteristic of later Hinduism and not referred to in the early religious literature. | | | The Harappa people have not left behind any monuments, but their artistic genius is attested by the evocative drawings of animals in small seals - fabricated with soft stone hardened by heating after engraving - and miniature human figurines. | | | The three horned god sitting surrounded by animals is believed to be the prototype Shiva - portrayed as Pashupati - supreme lord of animals and Yogishwara - the great ascetic - depicting two major aspects of this deity's personality. |
