Saraswati: The River that Disappeared
Synopsis
This book is about the river Saraswati that vanished more than 2000 years ago. Written in simple language shorn of technical jargon, it explores the existence of a mighty, snow-fed river, traces its course from the foothills of the Himalayas to the shores of the Arabian Sea. It also outlines the history of human settlements along this river from the beginning of the stone age through the glorious period of the Harappan Civilization, to the commencement of the historical times. The author examines this scenario within the framework of geological parameters and evaluates inferences rigorously on the anvil of geodynamics. The book finally highlights the geological events that overtook the land leading to the disappearance of the river that was once the lifeline of the people that inhabited its floodplain. The text is lavishly illustrated in both color black and white.
