Until the discovery of the Indus valley civilization, the development of literature and culture in india was always credited
to the Aryans. In 1920, archaeologists announced the discovery of extensive urban ruins in the Indus valley which
pre-dated the earliest archaeological sources. These ancient dwellers in india were Dravidians, and in fact, their
culture had developed a highly sophisticated way of life. Archaeological evidence also shows that the Indus valley
culture moved from west to east, with sites towards central and southern india flourishing after Harappa and
mohenjodaro had declined. This civilization is one of the three great early civilizations that arose in the late fourth
and third millennia BC around the three large alluvial systems of the Tigris-Euphrates, Nile and Indus rivers. This
civilization was through to have been confined to the valley of the river Indus, hence the name given to it was Indus
valley civilization. This civilization was a highly developed urban one and two of its towns, Mohenjodaro and
 Harappa, represent the high watermark of the settlements. Subsequent archaeological excavations established that
the contours of this civilization were not restricted to the Indus valley but spread to a wide area in northwestern and
western india. Thus this civilization is now better known as the Harappan civilization. Mohenjodaro and Harappa are
now Pakistan and the principal sites in india include ropar inpunjab, lothal in Gujarat and kalibangan in rajasthan.
The extensive excavations carried out at the two principal city sites, Harappa and mohenjodaro, indicate 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 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 Sumerian, hurrian, or Elamite, nor can it be related to the structure of
the Munda languages of modern india. If it is related to any modern language family, it appears to be Dravidian akin
to Old Tamil, presently spoken throughout the southern part of the Indian peninsula.

murder of unborn girl babies. A/An (131) with sons from the age of Atharva veda and lawgiver manu’s treatise, (132)
