Description

Explore the dual foundations of Hinduism through this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. The book traces two major roots: the Aryan Indo-Iranian speakers who arrived in South Asia during the second millennium BCE, and the enigmatic Indus civilization of the third millennium BCE. Discover how the Indus civilization, with its estimated one million people spread across more than 1000 settlements including cities of 50,000 inhabitants, left behind thousands of short inscriptions in a forgotten pictographic script. First excavated in the Indus River valley during the early 1920s, these archaeological discoveries reveal a sophisticated ancient culture whose influence shaped Hindu religious traditions. This academic exploration combines historical evidence with linguistic analysis to illuminate how these two distinct civilisations merged to form the foundations of modern Hinduism.
