SANTALI SINDHU SABHYATA KI BHASHA 2nd Edition  (Paperback, Prabhunath Hembram)

Even today, there is a conflict of opinion between historians and intellectuals on the subject of the real creator of the Indus Valley Civilization. One section of them appears to be in support of the Aryans and the other section appears to be in support of the Dravidians. In contrast to both these viewpoints, in this book the author On the basis of his personal research and interpretation of the Indus script, he has given the credit of being the creator of the Indus Valley Civilization to the Santal caste. Scientists have found evidence of Y-DNA and mt-DNA, M4a genetic link in the ancient DNA of Rakhigarhi. These are genetically related to the Austro-Asiatic language group of India - such as Mundari, Santali and Khasi. Famous linguist Michael Wiesel has also logically advocated the Indus script to be the language of the Munda family. In such a situation, if genetic relation of O and M4a is found in the ancient DNA of Rakhigarhi, then this fact will be a matter of surprise for many and it will be necessary to improve our knowledge of the history of pre-Vedic India and amend that history also.
