Opis

This book attempts a comprehensive account of the old Vedic society with particular focus on the physical conditions of life during the Bronze Age in north western South Asia. With territorial kingdoms, specialized production of craft goods, large scale trade by land and sea and a high end surplus producing peasant economy, situates the Aryan discourse on an entirely different platform. The book shows that the Aryans of the Rigveda were far from the monolithic concept of a single people and a single culture.
