every one without any prejudice,will easily understand that IVC is Vedic, but only people with special interests will reject the evidence.....the identification of IVC whether it's Vedic or not is purely political,not scienceI think IVC will eventually turn out to be the homeland of ALL IE languages and the homeland of PIE.
I think so, because IVC archeology reflects the Vedas in one very crucial aspect.
The Rig Ved considers a section of Aryavarta, known as Brahmavarta, as the ' nucleus' of the Aryans.
The manu smriti considers this region to be the 'place of creation' by Brahma.
Where is this place ? Well the location of Brahmavarta is consistent through the ages - its described as the land between the Saraswati river & Drishadvati river - the latter originating from lake Pushkar & flowing north to join with Saraswati. This region roughly corresponds with Western Haryana and North-Eastern Rajasthan.
The Brahmanas say that the Rig Ved was composed on the banks of the Drishadvati, in Brahmavarta, close to its confluence with the Saraswati, particularly, near Dhosi hill- an extremely important Vedic site.
We have seals from as late as Gupta period, from Indraprastha region ( Delhi) saying 'brahmavarta'.
Now, where do we find the OLDEST IVC/proto-IVC site in the Indian subcontinent ?
Its NOT Mehrgarh, its Bhirrana- dated 500 years older than Mehrgarh, at 7500 BCE. Or 9500 years ago.
And where is Bhirrana ?
IN Brahmavarta.
Where is the oldest and largest IVC city - Rakhigarhi-located ? In Brahmavarta
Which area of the IVC has by far the densest concentration of sites ? Brahmavarta - where the districts of Hanumangarh(Rajasthan), Hisar & Bhiwani ( Haryana) contains more than 10 IVC and pre-IVC sites.
So to me, it is quite clear, that THIS region is the core of Aryavarta.
