Mehrgarh...The Lost Civilization

Re: # 115

"traces of this great civilization have been found as far as Tamil Nadu" This may not be accurate.

Also, http://www.hindunet.org is not very credible website.

haideri

this Article thogh I think is a bit outdated as it identifies only about 1100 or so sites, but still

http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/sarasvati/html/civilizationdates. htm

is worth a read...it also have a few maps....

I'll try to find the link to the Satellite Imaged Map , tracing the course or Saraswati ....and will post it.
later.


traces of this great civilization have been found as far as Tamil Nadu.

Mehergarh , one of the about 2400 plus sites , scattered all over india but mostly concentrated in areas now in Pakistan, Mehergarh is associated with Indus Saraswati Civilzation, Meher garh is considered among the oldest of the roots.

Indus -Saraswati civilization, a civilization that propespered betweent two rivers, on the West Indus, and to the East Saraswati, Saraswati it is said, used to orignate from East of Satluj from the Siwalik ranges Himaliyas and ended up in Delta of Run of Kutch , in between during the course of time, Saraswati dried up somewhere in the Rajhistan Desert and is no More.
some attribute this drying up of Saraswati as the beggining of the end of this great Oldest civilization.

..its mentioned in the Regveda and other Vedic Literature.
Ghaggar which reached the Hakra branch in Bahawalpur,
is traditionally identified with the Sarasvati river.

Re: # 99 Very nice information, this also shows variety within hindu practices adn also the differences of South India and North India .

Re: # 96 Thanks please let me see hteir pictures! thx for the offer!

Re: # 97 It is our personal choice to wear straitjacket or breathe in open air! It was metaphorical not in literal sense! As many dream return back to Golden ages, I think we should strive fro Futureas Goldrn Ages instead of regresssing back.

Past is to understand present and future , not to recopy!

You can't compare Jinnah and Modi. UtraConservative != UltraLibral

Haideri,

And one more favour, please teach some
of those persian culture and mannerism
to that uncouth HP.

OK, I would not start this with you.
You appear to speak a civilized language,
so will spare you.
But just remember, next time you utter
Modi, MAJ will pop up.
And Thanks once again for keeping the
language civil.

Re: # 106

Do you know any victims of partition?. I do, I was raised by one. Her Mother and Father were slaughtered infront of her eyes. She died six months ago. Don't start this with me shishpa....

haideri

Haideri,

Only when Modi reaches the stature of MAJ
can be consulted for such details.
He has lot of growing up to do.

Re: # 104

Call Narendra Modi...for latest update.

haideri

And you never told me, has the blood dried
from that knife they used in August of 47?

HP,

I know that is what your baap and grandbaap
said to that poor hindu neighbour of yours
in 1947. It is in your genes, admit it.

Hindu was a name given to the people who lived east of river Indus. Hindu was not a religion and the people who lived east of Indus can have any religion they want and it does not necessarily have to be the modern Hindu religion. Which essentially is not a religion at all. Read the article by your Sangh parivar guru DM!

Let me say this: the Indus civilization is not Hindu civilization and whether we are proud of it or not, should not concern you. The true inheritor of that civilization still live in those areas and people from the South, central or the eastern India can only have an academic interest in that civilization and nothing else!It is our heritage and we will deal with. You are an outsider or just a person who had some interest like many Europeans and others.

So basically fk off!
