E18 - யார் வந்தேறி? | “Early Indians” book discussion | Ft. Hari Bharathi & Naveen

In this episode we discuss about an excellent book EARLY INDIANS by Mr. Tony Joseph. It won'e be an exaggeration to say that the discussion on this book is indispensable today to keep a clear head amidst the current misleading and dangerous political narratives like "one nation, one religion, one language". This episode is an attempt to make more people know about this important book written devoid of political appropriations and to provide a scientific basis to support the Cliched saying "Unity in Diversity". We have tried to speak about the important take aways of the book, but this book definitely promises much more interesting information than what is spoken in this episode. This book is a must read to know about: Who are the first Indians? Who are the Harappans? Who are Dravidians and Aryans? Did Aryans invade or migrate from Outside of India?
