VEDIC RIVER SARASVATI AND HINDU CIVILIZATION

This book is a compilation of papers presented at a Conference on “Vedic River Saraswati and Hindu Civilization” held at India International Centre, New Delhi from Oct. 24 to 26, 2008. Participants included scholars from many disciplines including ancient Indian history, archaeology, space imaging, hydrology, meteorology, glaciology, seismology, ice-age geodynamics, sea-level changes, metallurgy and other earth and life-sciences. The conference explores the validation of a consensus that the ancient civilization that emerged and prospered on the banks of Vedic River Saraswati is the precursor to the civilization that is known and exists today as Hindu civilization, establishing a continuum of human society and achievement.
