Since then about 2668 Harappan and its associated sites have been reported in Northwest South Asia whereas Harappan Archaeologists have excavated only 208 sites. Harappan Civilization covers 1 6 million sq. km. in area. The newly excavated sites of Harappan Civilization are Barror Chak 86 Kuran Bhirana Mandi and Sanauli. The Harappans used steatite Lapis Lazuli clay Faience ivory gold silver and carnelian for their craft and jewellery items. The artisans were skilled in making bronze terracotta and stone sculptures most of them being handmade and very small in size. This was the beginning of first urbanization in the subcontinent with the emergence of well planned cities with massive walls and gateways highly developed trade and transportation agriculture and use of script and languages. 178 pp.…

According to a scholar the Harappan civilization is the gift of two rivers the Indus and Sarasvati whose tributaries had played a dominant and decisive role in the origin of this bronze civilization. As of now around 2668 Harappan and its associated sites have been reported of which 1068 sites are located in the dried up bank of the Sarasvati river. The Sarasvati was a mighty river between ca. 5000 and 1800 B.C. around ca. 1800 B.C. due to neo tectonic movements in the Himalayas the river started drying up. It flowed down from the Himalayas to Adi Badri towards Desalpur in Gujarat. This work is a collection of forty research papers contributed by the noted scholars and historians from India and abroad. Volume one contains nineteen papers which includes introduction the origin of Harappan and early Harappan village Chalcolithic cultures. Volume two covers on Indus Sarasvati civilization and includes twenty one papers on the mature Indus Sarasvati civilization which contain controversial and clashing views. Available archaeological evidences suggest the Atharvavedic and mature Harappan were contemporary and they had contacts with each other. The Atharvavedic people were the authors of the copper hoard culture. The nomenclature either of Harappan Indus or Indus Sarasvati civilization hardly matters as the meaning.…

The book Decipherment of Harappan Script is the result from an interest which the author developed in Harappan archaeology since last 24 years during his stay in Institute of Archaeology London and later on in National Museum, New Delhi where he was holding charge of Harappan material. Proto Dravidian and earliest Aryan were present in Harappan population. The author concluded Harappan script was Proto Brahmi and their languages were Proto-Dravidian Brahui and Laukik Sanskrit. The more positive chapter is identification of Harappan script sign. This book has 27 papers on Harappan script. The author contradicted pre conceived idea of only Dravidian language theory of Harappan. He prefers name of South Asian civilization for this earliest Harappan civilization of South Asia. A unique contribution of the author is identification of inscribed double headed terracotta Siva from Kalibangan. Which has three sign in proto-Brahmi script and author read these sign as Sivam.
