WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -For the advocates of the Vedic Aryans-as-Harappans theory, the finding would be the long-awaited confirmation of what they have always asserted without proof: The Indus Valley civilisation was Vedic, and the Aryans were those who built it.

Detailed explanation-2: -In India, the Aryans first settled in the Land of the Seven Rivers, then known as Saptasindhu. Saptasindhu is the region of modern Punjab.

Detailed explanation-3: -Who Were the Aryans? In Sanskrit, an ancient Indo-European language, the word Aryan refers to “the noble ones.” The Aryans migrated from their ancestral home near the Caucusus mountains, north of the Black Sea in Central Asia (near modern day Russia). They entered the Indus Valley through the fabled Khyber Pass.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ancient Aryans were a group of people who were originally from central Asia. Three thousand years ago, these Aryans settled in India, where they established the language of Vedic Sanskrit, founded the Vedic religion, and established a caste system of hierarchical classes.

Detailed explanation-5: -When the Aryans arrived in India, they brought with them the horse, Sanskrit (the basis of the Hindi language) and the basis of Hinduism. They also brought war as well as the caste system, and erased all traces of the writing system of the Harappan civilization.
