Indian Civilization, an Indigenous
Development
Under the idea that all civilization came from the Middle East, it was
assumed that Harappan culture derived its impetus from the Middle
East, probably Sumeria. Recent French excavations have shown
that all the antecedents of the Indus culture can found within the Indian
subcontinent going back before 6500 BC as revealed by the
Mehrgarh site near the Bolan Pass in Pakistan. Mehrgarh is the largest village/town culture of its period
anywhere in the world and develops into the Indus culture by a series of
stages, showing the evolution of agriculture and arts and crafts typical of Harappa.(*44)
In short, Western scholars are also
beginning to reject the Aryan invasion or any outside
origin for Hindu civilization:
