Title in ENGLISH : The present volume is an innovative research work based on Puranic history and civilizations of Asia from Manu onwards and tries to mend many misconceptions about India. The book contends that Central Asia, at least up to Bactria, was part of cultural India. It was rather the cradle of humanity originating from Manu from the very beginning. The main branch of humanity shifted southwards in the valleys of Sindhu and Sarasvati. This happened in the geological period, and the present northern India or the plain of Ganga was a sea known in the Rigveda as the Eastern Sea. This was the reason Harappans could not settle in the Ganga Valley. This fact leads us to use the famous geological theory of plate tectonics detailed in the book. The author explains the importance of Puranic chronology and how its conclusions were scientific. He contests the dominant West-inspired historical narrative and uses geology, archaeology, and astronomy among other fields of study to explain the evolutionary process of India's cultural legacy and its widespread influence.
