| Most interestingly the enemies of
the Vedic people, the Dasas or Dasyus, are also described in the
Rig Veda as possessing a wealth in horses, which the Aryans win from them or receive as gifts from them.
In fact one Dasa Balbutha gives a Vedic seer a gift of 60,000
horses.(*17) There is no battle between a horse and a non-horse
culture in Vedic literature either. On the other hand, the famous Vedic
Brahma bull is everywhere in ancient Indian iconography and
throughout the Harappan culture, as are many other Vedic symbols like
swastikas. Evidence of the wheel, and an Indus seal showing a spoked wheel as used in chariots, has been found, suggesting the usage of chariots in at least the later Harappan period. The whole idea of nomads with chariots is itself questionable. Chariots are not the vehicles of nomads.
