The origin of world civilization can be traced to the Sindhu and
Sarasvati river valleys (located in present-day Pakistan) as early
as 8,000 BC. Here, innovation and originality in every aspect of
human endeavor, from mathematics and science to art and sports,
flourished. Yet the importance of this civilization, known as the
Vedic period, has been deliberately downplayed.
Thoroughly researched and including an extensive bibliography,
"From Bharata to India" rectifies this mistake in the perspective
of world history and seeks to offer a comprehensive reference
source. Author M. K. Agarwal shows how this early culture, where
ideation by enlightened philosopher Brahmin kings, brought material
and spiritual wealth that was to remain unchallenged until the
colonial era. This Vedic-Hindu-Buddhist legacy subsequently
influenced peoples and paradigms around the globe, ushering in an
era of peace and plenty thousands of years before the
Europeans.
By using original sources in Sanskirt as well as regional
literature, Agarwal compares corresponding situations in other
civilizations within the context of their own literary traditions
and records to prove that Bharata forms the basis of world
civilization. This is in direct contrast to the "Greek or Arab
miracle" hypothesis put forth by numerous scholars.
The first of two volumes in this series, "From Bharata to India"
offers a fascinating, in-depth glimpse into ancient India's
contribution to the modern world.
