Discovery of 4000 year old Horse driven Chariot with a royal warrior is indeed one of a biggest discovery of Archaeological Survey of India led by Dr. SK Manjul.
Massive migrations from Steppes to Bronze Age India was indeed a myth. We have gathered Ancient DNA evidence now. The findings will be out next year. Thanks to the great efforts of scientists from India, USA, UK and others. Warm Greetings for upcoming 2021!
We discovered hundreds of extraordinarily preserved Megalithic burials in deep forest of Dandakarnya. These birials are man made and about 3000 year old.
One of 10 biggest discovery of the year 2022- At Bandhavgarh, MP, The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has uncovered lost temples, Buddhist structures, 26 caves, temples, 2 monasteries, 2 votive stupas and 46 sculptures which date to the 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD.
Extremely upset to hear this mischievous article by

where our research being described as studying “racial purity". DNA research has great potential for improving our understanding of human health and history and should not be used to support discriminatory ideas
Indus valley cotton fibers discovered in Israel. It predate the oldest known cotton domestication in the Indus Valley by about two millennia. Presence of cotton at the site points to possible connections with the Indus Valley as early as 7,200 years ago.
Look at the Lockdown impact on pollution level. These are the satellite monitored pollutant values (PM2.5) on 30 March in 2019 and 2020.
Red colors show maximum pollution (upto 1000 μg/m3) and blue colors show minimum (from 1μg/m3).
Thank you so much Govt. of India for recognizing our hard work. I dedicate this achievement to all my mentors and colleagues who believes on our findings. Special thanks to

Iran was the homeland of Zorostrians/Parsi. During 7th century AD, Iran had witnessed a major demographic transition due to Islamic Conquest. Our ancient DNA data on first Parsi settlers in Gujarat suggest that Indian parsi are closer to Neolithic Iranians than to modern Iranians
Nearly 2000 years old samadhi burial excavated from Vadnagar, Gujarat. Samādhi burial is long-established burial practice that eventually blossoms into a full-fledged worship tradition in ancient India.
Proud moment for Indian Archaeology. Dr. B.B Lal, a living legend, conferment for Padma Vibhushan Award. India is lucky to have such great personality. Prof Lal is a precious gem of Indian archaeology who rediscovered the civilizational India buried under the colonial past.
Evidence of horses from atleast 4000 YBP is validated. This rock painting depicts with early horse existence and harpoon (copper made deadly weapon) from trans- Yamuna, Allahabad. This depiction confirms the evidence of horses during OCP cultural phase (5000- 1700 YBP)

I don't know the how accurate is the archaeological date but as per the BHU professors this 4000-year-old Shivalinga could have been a site of worship thousands of years ago. However, more research is being done to confirm these statements.
Genetic makeup of Brahmins and Dalits are same. Even Muslims and Hindus have no genetic differences at all. I would keep cash prize of "1" Crore if anyone on this planet can prove that Dalits, Brahmins and Indian Muslims have any genetic/DNA differences.
Neolithic Civilization of Kashmir was extraordinary! Super excited to work on human skeletal remains excavated from Burzoham archaeological site about half centrury ago.
4500 year old copper age harpoon (confirmed with AMS dates) discovered by Shahjad Rai Research Institute glorifies the Indian history in deep past. The Copper Harpoon was sophisticated weapon of OCP culture widespread in North India since last 5000 years. Many more to come.
Collected human skeleton remains of probably first Indians who have migrated to Bali, Java and Sumatra and spread the Hinduism. It is so fascinating to learn that our ancestors have likely come here before the Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.
About 3000 years ago, our ancestors were poineer of astronomy. They used to arranged stones in orientation towards the Winter and Summer Solstice sunrises and sets respectively.
Here they have built the entire complex in such a manner that it faces the Equinox sunrise.

Proptohistoric ancient DNA data from Cambodia corroborates the literary evidences of 2000 year old Funan dynasty of Cambodia that was established by an Indian Hindu Preist named Kaundinya.
There is no such thing as an Aryan race. But a few thousand years prior, there was a migration the other way around : from India to the rest of most of the world.
Harappan were Indigenous. Now history will be taught differently. Our Archaeo-genetics work on Rakhigarhi is well recognised.

The term ‘Arya’ is a cultural term, not an ethnic term. Simillarly, the word ‘Dravida’ is related to geography and not any race. Our traditions never used the terms ‘Arya’ or ‘Dravida’ in a racial context and, more importantly, never used the terms as opposites.
Discovery of 4000 years old chariot at Sanauli put India on a par with ancient civilisations in Mesopotamia and Greece, where chariots were used extensively.

We also provide an independent line of evidence from Genetics, to support existing archaeological evidence, to suggest that there was substantial migration of people from The Harappan civilization into Eastern Iran and Central Asia.
'' Harappan Civilization was a more powerful civilization than was previously admitted in academia, considering that we found influence was higher from Sindhu-Sarasvati area to the Jiroft Culture of Iran & to the Oxus Civilization of Central Asia than the other way around.
Here is the first paper we published on the Indian Jews Diaspora. Indian Jewish are one of the early offshoot of Jewish Diaspora who migrated to India during 5th century AD. Since then they are one of the peaceful and harmonious communities of the country
There is now clear evidence for early Holocene cultivation of rice in the Middle Gangetic plains of northern India and by 3200 BC, rice agriculture was present outside the Ganges in the Indus Civilization.
Another Breakthrough -
introgression of indicine-derived DNA into Central Italian white cattle breeds, possibly as the result of several gene flow events during agro-pastrolist Out of India Migration about 8000 years ago.
This is Insane!
A journal publication is a mandatory requirement to get the PhD degree. Since, Mr. BiharToTihar could not publish it in a proper journal, he published it in a predatory journal with dubious credentials.
The ancient Indus Valley and Harappan civilization was rich with children's toys, some of which are still common in today's India shows the continuity. Here are few examples:
Who were the custodians of Indus Valley Civilization? How farming in South Asia arose? Our first ever ancient DNA results on IVC will be published online on 5th September, 2019. We will share more information on our findings on 6th at National Museum, New Delhi.
Fact1: Indus Valley Civilisation is the largest source of ancestry for Indians. In fact it is more visible in South Indian populations (pl. don’t politicise this)
Fact 2: Most of the Indians have Steppe ancestry in different proportions and exact mixing time is still unknown.
So this finally puts nail in the coffin of the Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT)propounded by an ecosystem of historians and scholars like Max Mueller, Romilla Thapar, RS Sharma and some others. The Harvard DNA expert in fact vindicates Veer Savarkar, Aurobindo.
So why did this cabal
First archaeologically based map of the dispersal of the RigVedic hump backed bull pattern throughout the Ancient East proving the origin of the Indo-Aryans in the Sindhu (Indus) Valley and the migration of the Indo-Aryan and other Indo-European tribes out of the South Asia.
Like the Hindu culture, ancient Maya culture had a pantheon of gods, many of which have similarities to the Hindu deities. Sadly, like Islamic conquerors build mosques and destroyed Hindu temples in India, the Spanish constructed churches over distroyed Maya temples in Mexico.
Nobody thought about 300 martyrs for 157 years. We first time revealed the geographical origin of murdered soldiers during British Raj. DNA data highlights the role of Bengal, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in anti- colonial revolts of 1857.
We are aiming to understand early peopling of India by analysing aDNA from Pleistocene, Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic human remains excavated from the Bhimbetka Rock shelters.
We shares Genetic past with the SriLankans. Wow....Our First Genome-wide study on Sinhalese population suggest that North Indian affiliation to the Sinhalese population. It also traces the common root of Sinhalese and Marathas of India.

Archaeobotanical findings of Custard-Apple by our group in Neolithic india confirms the Asian-American contacts, several millennia before the discovery of America by Columbus in 1498.
We Indians have 1-2% ancestry from archaic hominids. We also have largest variation in Neanderthal ancestry among worldwide groups. Finally, Indians ere experiencing extremely high levels of endogamy which is leading high risk of genetic diseases.
Big ancient genome wide data from Tibet plateau reveals for the first time that South Asian-related genetic influence in Tibetan plateau was from the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) and IVC migrants in Central Asia.
Presence of early Indians in Bali!
Ancient DNA analysis suggest the presence of Indians in Bali atleast since 3000 to 2500 years before present
Subsequently our ongoing ancient DNA analysis on Balinese samples even push back the dates by 300-400 years.
Dholavira was one of the two largest Harappan cities in India is finally acknowledged. The people of Dholavira have build up world's earlisst water conservation system excavated ever.
So much of history and prehistory is going to be changed in couple of years. South East of Asia was first civilised by Bharata since last 3000 years ago.
History needs to be revisited again and again. Our recent genetic findings on Ahom dynasty, which ruled for 800 years in Assam confirms their ancestral homeland (Thailand) and later assimilation with the local Indian populations.

Early humans used bows and arrows to hunt in tropical rainforests of Srilanka about 48,000 years ago. The study also suggest that bows and arrows were first discovered in South Asia.
New study on "Saraswati River in northern India and its role in populating the Harappan civilization sites". The data confirms the existence of a magnificent River system, independent of the Satluj or the Ghaggar rivers at its entry in plains of Haryana.
The rice cultivation in India is much older than we thought. So far we had evidences from Ganga plains and IVC but here we are presenting fresh results from drought and arid regions of Vidarbha, Central India.

Journalists and Politicians are at worst.
Mr. Gandhi- Racial purity is not a thing and race is not a biologically supported context. It has been a tool for politicians to propagating racism and should not be conflated with genetic ancestry.
The last time a country had a culture ministry studying ‘racial purity’, it didn’t end well.
India wants job security & economic prosperity, not 'racial purity', Prime Minister.
Dancing girl is most- regarded as a work of art. This bronze sculpture made in lost-wax casting technique about 4300 year ago in the IVC city of Mohenjo-daro. The casting method is still used to create such statuettes called Dokra by the austro-asiatic Malla tribes of India.

Good news: Ancient DNA samples from crucial Harappan sites like of Mohenjo Daro, Kalibangan, Rakhigarhi, Lothal, Ropar etc are under lab analysis.
Bad news: There is no research funding to sequence them properly !
''Our report gives strong genetic evidence to suggest that the Neolithic began independently in South Asia without any input from Fertile Crescent by a people distantly related to Iranian Neolithic farmers.''
Antiquity knew about Egypt and Mesopotamia, but the Indus civilization, which was bigger than these two, was completely forgotten said researcher Liviu Giosan, a geologist in Massachusetts. "There are still many things we don't know about them."
Another clear evidence of "Out of India" early trade routes and globalization in the ancient Near East during mature Harappan phase followed by long-term maintenance and continuity of this trade system into later periods.
Genetic and cultural evidences suggest that Hinduism in Indonesia is existing prior to Saka Era (2000 years ago). Stories from the Mahabharata Epic have been traced in Indonesian islands to the 1st century; whose versions mirror also found in Tamil Nadu.
''It is also possible now that the Neolithic in Western Iran and Anatolia could have had admixture from South Asia rather than vice verse as earlier believed.''
Well.. I have been Sanghi now. Sanghi Scientist's false report on Indus Valley Civilization. So funny..😄😄 We have published our fake research in world's renounced scientific Journal

Genetic data confirms that Muslim populations in general are genetically closer to their non-Muslim geographical neighbors than to other Muslims in India, and that there is a highly significant correlation between genetics and geography (but not religion).
A new study on the origin of Indo-European languages, published by Science magazine, integrates linguistic and genetic research to infer that early forms of Greek and Sanskrit began to evolve as independent language branches from before 7000 years ago
