Indus Valley Civilization- Rethinking Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

‘The earth is the centre of the Universe.'
Galileo brought about evidences
To disprove this notion held by the learned.
Evidences must dislodge old theories.

The Indus Valley Civilization
Was at least eight thousand years old
And not five thousand years, as believed
On the basis of new evidences.

There was a pre-Harappa Civilization
That must have existed in India
Before the blossom of civilizations
In Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Rig Veda, the most primitive Veda,
The Sacred text of Aryans in India,
Dates 1500 BC with their Sanskrit
Being Indo-European language.

The Hinduism is a Veda based sect.
Shiva and Shakhty, the indigenous gods,
Converted to Hinduism with their worshipers.
Aryan invasion theory was resisted.

Vedas and Epics depict two races,
Fair with a long nose, and dark with a flat nose.
Adivasis Like Mundas, the most backward,
Are the son of soil of the Indus Valley.
