More quotes by Virendra Nath Misra

There is general agreement among scholars that all this demonstrates that "it can be stated with certainty that the present Ghaggar-Hakra is nothing but a remnant of the RgVedic Sarasvati which was the lifeline of the Indus Civilization".

The description of the location, size and desiccation of the Sarasvatī River in the Vedic, epic and classical literature perfectly matches the features and history of the Ghaggar-Hakra River. Therefore it can be stated with certainty that the present Ghaggar-Hakra is nothing but a remnant of the Rgvedic Sarasvatī which was the lifeline of the Indus Civilization.
