The Rediscovery of the Sarasvati River
The retreat of the Aryan invasion theory has been accompanied by
the rediscovery of the Sarasvati river of Vedic fame, though many
scholars are still unaware of the connection of the river with the
Vedas. Recent excavation has shown that the great majority of
Harappan settlements were east, not west of Indus. The largest concentration of sites appears in an
area of Punjab and Rajasthan along the dry banks of the Sarasvati (now
called the Ghaggar) in the Thar desert. Hundreds of sites dot this river, which appears to have been
the breadbasket of the culture. Mohenjodaro and Harappa, the first
large Indus sites found, appear to be peripheral cities, mere gateways
to the central Sarasvati region. The main sites are found in a region of
northwestern India, which owing to the lack of water was never again a
region of significant habitation.
