Isn't it an occasion to congratulate the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), a Government of India organization which is entrusted with the task of preparing textbooks for school-going children, to have finally come out of its shell and admit that the theory of 'Aryan Invasion' of India is untenable (Textbook in History for Class XII, Themes in Indian History, Part I, New Delhi, January 2010. p. 18)?
But the engrained mindset for resisting the whole truth persists, as reflected by the following statement on p. 28 of the same book: "There were several developments in different parts of the subcontinent during the long span of 1500 years following the end of the Harappan Civilization. This was also the time during which the Rigveda was composed by people living along the Indus and its tributaries."
The Rigveda refers to the river Sarasvati a number of times, which means that it was an active river during that period. Combined evidence of archaeology, radiocarbon method of dating, hydrology and other allied sciences has established that the Sarasvati dried up around 2,000 BCE (see p. 122).
