 Aryan Migrations: 1500-1200 BC
1500-1200 BC The Indus Valley (or Harappan) Civilization was the largest civilization in the world during its reign from 3000 to 1500 BC.
Since the Indus Valley Civilization left no written records, the nature of the transition from the Harappan culture to the resulting Vedic culture is that much more a mystery.
According to the invasion theory, the Aryans were a group of primitive nomads who came out of Central Asia with chariots, iron weapons, and superior battle tactics; and thus overthrew the Indus Valley culture.

The current battle over history, exemplified by the ICHR controversy, should not be viewed in strictly political terms.
This was roughly the situation when N. Jha announced his decipherment of the Indus script in October 1996: the model of Indian history based on the Aryan invasion stood shattered by science and objective research, but vested interests, notably the Marxist (Indian) historians and academic Indologists (Western) still held on to the model.
The real battle today is between theorists who tried to fit data to existing models as prescribed by their beliefs, and empiricists trying to interpret data in the best manner possible.

 "The Gift of the Indus"
The farmers of Pakistan are working their fields with Iron Age tools, but they are also served by one of the most technologically advanced systems ever devised for delivering water to the land.
Bountiful as it is, the Indus River system simply doesn’t carry enough water to irrigate all of the land served by the system’s canals, so it’s not unusual for a farmer to find that his canal has run dry just as his crops have started to wilt in the 115-degree summer heat.
The result is as frightening as it is inevitable: Beneath the feet of the peasants, the fertile ground of the Indus basin is slowly becoming a desert once again.

 An Faux invasion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The foundation of the Aryan Invasion theory is based on the assumption that the Aryans did not enter the Indus valley until after 1500 BC therefore making the Indus Valley civilization pre-Aryan.
Part of the standing theory is that the primitive Aryan nomads crossed the mountains and defeated the far more advanced Indus Valley civilization with their chariots, iron weapons, and superior battle tactics.
The previous belief that Aryans invaded the Indus Valley is not as widely believed as it used to be and with this added information it should be on even weaker ground.

(b) The basic Indus ideogram for ‘deity’ occurs often, presumably as a religious symbol, in the pottery graffiti from the Megalithic burials at Sanur in Tamilnadu (Fig.6).
The survival of the basic Indus ideogram as a religious symbol in later times suggests that the cult of the Harappan deity spread to Eastern and Southern India along with the migration of the descendants of the Harappans to these regions after the demise of the mature Indus Civilization.
The arguments in favour of the Dravidian character of the Indus Valley Civilization are presented in Parpola 1994, pp.
