The book highlights the distinctive traits of the Aryan culture and discusses the identity of the Indus civilization. It presents the archaeological counterpart of the early Vedic culture re- constructed on the basis of textual and lexical evidence. The presence of the Dravidian language followed by the spread of the Indo-Aryan language in the Indian subcontinent receives considerable attention. The features of the Aryan culture in the Central Asian archaeology during the second millennium BC are pointed out, and the question of the migration of horse- using tribes from there to the subcontinent is examined. This study will interest historians, linguists and archaeologists as well as general readers.
