The Wonderful Indus Valley Civilization of India

Sir     Your article : Is the Indus Valley Civilization the Cradle or Catacomb of the Dravidian Civilization?:   I must compliment you on writing such a wonderful article on the history of our proud and beautiful people of the Indus, who now command the attention world with its lost history.  Of all the websites , I have read yours have painted the true facts of the evidence where it belongs and that is where it should stay. You have not fallen for the revisionists who have not only destroyed the true history of India but have given India a false greatness which she does not deserve.  Many times I have protested and written about the articles and publications being put out by revisionists inside and outside India with most of the evidence being distorted and false.  For example, the revisionists state that the Indus civilization is derived from Aryan Indian history which I think is false and misleading and students of history is being taught this.  Many articles written by highly qualified Indians with Phds and other degrees asserts that the rite of cremation originated with the Hindus , thus failing to inform students and readers that it is the Indo-Aryans who brought cremation to India.  They also state that the Indus civilization is of Aryan origin ,existing from 3100BC  and this is also false.   Your article of 2001  states and I quote: 

                     "The lack of similarity continues when one considers the

                      the ways of disposing of the dead in the IVC.  The Indus

                      people buried their dead and there is not evidence at all

                      cremation.  The Rigveda on the other hand recognizes

                     cremation as the principal method of disposing of the

                     the dead."         

If this is so why is it that the revisionists , despite the evidence facing them still

continue to spout that the Indus is of Aryan origin, when such practices does not

fit their paradigm  and model? Apart from the rite of cremation, the Indus did not

possess the horse nor the chariot but did possess the ass and wagon similar to

those of Sumer and Mesopotamia.  Why is it that the revisionists distort and try to

rewrite history that is being discovered that does not fit the facts?  Thanking you

for a reply.
