About the Book

The Saint Kabir had once bluntly said: You say what you have read in books; I say what I have seen with my eyes.

I have also seen a human speech evolving before my mind's eye.

The Indus language, originating on the banks of the river Sarasvati, before it was named as such, proceeding from the isolating stage, branched in V-shape at the agglutinative stage, one arm reaching the inflexional stage and the other dwarfed at the first knot splitting in two-fold ways, ultimately emerged as the socalled ARYAN languages of the north, the DRAVIDIAN languages of the south, and the MUNDA languages of the center in India.

The Aryan branch did not remain confined to India, but proceeded westward and reached Europe through Iran and central Asia, branching as Centum and Satem groups.

The Chronology of the Vedic, Greek and Hittite languages has to be drastically reversed, pushing the Rigveda several millenniums earlier.
