The story of India is one of profound and continuous change. It has been shaped by the dynamic of migration, conflict, mixing, coexistence, and cooperation. In this ten-part web series, Namit Arora tells the story of Indians and our civilization by exploring some of our greatest historical sites, most of which were lost to memory and were dug out by archaeologists. He will also focus on ancient and medieval foreign travellers whose idiosyncratic accounts conceal surprising insights about us Indians. All along, Arora surveys India’s long and exciting churn of cultural ideas, beliefs, and values-some that still shape us today, and others that have been lost forever. The series mostly mirrors-and often extends-the contents of his book, Indians: A Brief History of a Civilization. Bibliography appears below.
Episode 1: The Harappans
The ruins of the Harappan (aka Indus Valley) Civilization were unearthed a mere hundred years ago. And what a discovery it was! It greatly expanded India's civilizational past. The Harappans built the first cities in the Indian Subcontinent and a material culture that included advanced urban design, city-wide sanitation, and the first indoor toilets in the world. In this episode, Namit Arora explores its mature period, 2600-1900 BCE, at sites across western India and Pakistan. He compares it with other Bronze Age civilizations, in Mesopotamia and Egypt, and considers what distinguishes the Harappans from others-such as a much flatter social class hierarchy, and no clear evidence of temples, priests, big statues, palaces, weapons of war, or standing armies.
He looks at Harappan lifestyles and the stories that emerge from surviving artifacts: pottery, seals, figurines, toys, jewellery, sartorial fashions, social organization, dietary norms and discusses their metallurgy, tools, textiles, ships, trade, and burial customs. Their monumental work was the city itself, a marvel of engineering. In the excavated city of Dholavira in Gujarat, the narrator wanders its streets and homes laid out on a grid-like plan and looks at their achievements in water harvesting, storage, and drainage systems, as well as what may be the first stadium anywhere in the world! Arora also examines the languages the Harappans likely spoke, their undeciphered script, theories about their demise, and how their legacy still shapes us today.

Incredible effort to bring sanity to the discourse on the Indian civilization. Keep it up. Truly inspiring
Not true. There was no invasion. DNA analysis from Rakhigadi clealry establishes this
It's so nice to see carefully done complex history story telling - there's so little of it in popular Indian media. Thank you for this excellently produced and non-nationalist storytelling.
I have no words to appreciate the effort of The Wire Team !

Congratulations and thanks; a very interesting episode.

Tamil Literature Sangam Literature Three Sangams wrote poems and developed the Tamil language. Names of those three Sangams.
1.)First Association 2.)Second Association 3.) Third Association.
Sangha literature is reorganized and written between 600 BC and 1300 AD. 1.) Poems of the First Sangam relate to events before 6000 BC. 2.) Poems of the Second Sangam relate to events which took place before 2500 BC. Says it like a song. 3.) The hymns of the Third Sangam relate events from 800 BC to 1200 AD.
The following are not mentioned in any literature in India. The following has been said in only one literature and that is Sangam literature only. Apartment buildings, Sewerage, Bricks, Forts, Education, Straight roads, Seals, What creatures were around the Indus Valley?, How many types of trees were around the Indus Valley?, What kind of clothes did the people of the Indus Valley wear?, What were their foods?, People of the Indus Valley Literature is one that can tell about daily life and many more things. It is Sangam literature.
Indus Valley has more than 2100 Sangam literary town names. These names date back to 5000 BC..the evidence is journey of civilization indus to vaigai book.latitude and longitude are given in this book..the names of this town are only in two areas. One is in Indus Valley in Pakistan and the other is in Tamil Nadu in India..Indus Valley has more Sanga Literary town names than Tamil Nadu..
As Tamil language is very ancient it has changed in every period. Tamil language has changed more than 15 times so its ancient form is not readable now. The alphabet of the Tamil language can be read twelve times, but its primitive form cannot be read. But the Aryans destroyed the source of it...Sanskrit was created by the Tamils themselves. The meaning of Sanskirudam is not even in Rigveda. That meaning is 'Samaikka patta kirudam '. If so, it is a 'Samaikka patta language'. English meaning is cooked language..Created with Tamil grammar and words from literature of many languages..
Everyone explores Indus Valley north and east of India there is no evidence there. But they don't want to explore south of India and places around Indian ocean..why India doesn't allow it..

Simply superb. Thank you so much Mr. Arora for painting such a vivid picture of our glorious past...our first civilisation.
A must see for every ancient history lover...!!!
This is not glorious
One of the best documentary I have ever seen on Harappan civilization.
This is definitely going to help me in competitive examinations..👍🏻
Amazing. Please in 4k. And every detail possible. Don't skip the dates or anything. Can't wait for the next episodes
Kudos to the entire "the Wire" team👏👏👏👏
Please continue this series.
Eagerly Waiting for the upcoming episodes.
I am a student of history and I found this channel to be a blessing.
Yes, despite the ads.
This is factually wrong and putting wrong perspective As many researches, findings and studies have come that prove his claim wrong.
For better understanding read or watch Mr.NirAj Rai for honest indepth knowledge of historical events

Salutations for your knowledge and the best way of presentation. Great sir. Amit Aroraji❤
After the book "Early Indians" by Tony Joseph, this series is the best with its facts based narration. I really love the focus on the culture and values and its relevance for today's India. Well done 'The Wire' team and Mr.Arora👏👏 It was great watch❤
No it's not ...there is no archelogical evidence to prove Aryan migration or Aryan invasion it's debunked by modern scholars ...generics study found at rakhigari discovers that Indian genomes are more found in India rather in outside ...
this guy is a propagandist he didnot talk about the finding of yagya ritual in ivc oh i see may be they think that it is a tandoor or may some be some metal furnace -- typical leftist.

was waiting for something like this since sooo sooo long. ♥Thank you @TheWire , and please do upload this in hindi aswell because many people will love to know more about India.
This is the best documentary coverage that I have seen on the Harappan culture, which has intrigued me for decades.
You covered all the essentials and beyond. The only negative is the many ads. For this reason, I generally prefer university and museum documentaries; but I think I will make an exception here.
Just watched first episode as someone told me about this series. But though well presented, information is not backed by research.
There was no invasion, migration from central asia. Vedic culture was developed by indeginious people. DNA evidence from skeletons of Rakhigadhi analysed by Ancient DNA Birbal Sahni Institute, Lucknow clearly establishes this fact with minor Irani trace.
Please go through research paper by Dr Vasant Shinde, VC Deccan College.
@@ramlaxman1650 I was referring to the Harappan culture, which was pre-vedic.
And, regarding Aryans, most experts do think they arose in southern Russia.
@@ramlaxman1650 Harappan culture is pre-Vedic.
Great Sir. Thanks to you and The Wire for such audio visual history telling. Looking forward for many such videos. With regards🙏
Just amazing great episode with epitome of knowledge in 24 minutes 🙏🙏
In-depth researched work. Thanks. Looking forward to learning more in the coming episodes.
The most authentic narration of the history of the Harappan civilization..
Great effort to get acquainted with our history.Hope the aurhor will carry on this interesting saga in his articulative way for which he deserves our deepest gratitude.
Great work ❤.....
It should meticulously include all kinds of substantive evidence and proofs in making opinions...
There should also be honest efforts to establish why other opinions about this great civilization do not hold good...
Thanks for the great and timely initiative....
A. LOT OF FAKE I FORMATION. 😮
V😊
Glad to watch this great work.waiting eagerly for more episodes...❤😊
my favourite ancient civilization never ceases to inspire awe in my imagination! to think that these peace-loving people who loved the arts, fashion, and travel, had no standing armies, no amassed weaponry, and very little social hierarchy, makes them unique in the 'ancient world' and worthy of our most careful study!
Very lucid and informative video. Waiting for the next episode eagerly.
Amazing.... waiting for the next episode.❤😊
The best Harappan video I have seen to date! Great video!
A wonderful experience to watch this story of the Harappans. It is magical to see the artifacts and the remains of the city. Namit Arora has done a captivating narration. The hypotheses he presents are credible re the democratic and pacifist nature of the Harappan civilization. Can't wait for the next episode.
The birthright of this country lies dormant in the depths of the Indian South❤
Exactly. Civilization in South India might have existed from the times of Egyptian pyramids.
the only similarity between harrapan and south indian are religion ( i.e. hhinduism specially shaviate tradition) culture and festival, genetic and script + language research still in early phase.
The architecture is also similar to South@@urrasscal8380
This is brilliant! Keep it coming!
Superbly told...I love these series. Thankyou wire
Brilliant episode Namit. Kudos to you.
I approached the series with a lot of hesitation. But at the end it proved to be informative. The pre-Vedic civilization is clearly Dravidian as proved by John Marshall. The current day Saffron band is trying to name it as Sindhu-Saraswati Vedic civilization.
No dravidian traces exists before 500BCE
@@neil9457 Really? So when did it came to existence?
I mean isn't it based on sindhu river? Also dravidian itself is a sanskrit name
@@keshavtyagi948 With all due respects, I disagree. Looks like you haven't analyzed the series and its contents thoroughly. Sanskrit itself is a product of religious syncretism that happened between the Vedic Brahmanic religion and the earlier faiths. Being a chantic language Sanskrit took its written form from the Devanagiri style much later in 6th CE. Thamizh established itself long before that.
According to C. Annadurai, the former CM of Tamil Nadu....
The etymology of the name Dravidam is very simple. Dravidam = Thee + Ra+ Vai +tam or Thee + Ra+ vidam. Vidam or idam means the place or the land. Thee + ra denotes the ‘Athee ‘[primordial fire] and the sun respectively. Hence Dravidam means the land of people who were the worshipers of Thee + Ra [thirai-- sky]] or whose ancestors were from sky or Thee+ Ra. It could be Thiru vidam , the land of Thiru, the ‘ wealthy land ‘ . Dravidians have the prefix ‘Thiru ‘ before their names. For example Thiru . k. Ramasmy ; The names of the places also have Thiru . For example; Chira palli is called as Thiru-chirappalli; Centhur is called as Thiru centhur. Presently Thiru means ‘respectable ‘ [Sanskrit equivalent word is ‘Sri ‘ and it is the corrupted form of the Tamil word Thiri-- Thee+ re, feminine [ Sthiri] form of Thee+ Ra; It is equivalent to' Mister ‘]. The original meaning of Thiru is Thee+ Ra or Thiraiyan . Alternatively, Dravidam means the land of Thirayan, the sea farers ‘--the ruler of the sea . Thiraiyan could also means' the ruler of the sky ‘. ‘Thiru' could also be originated from ‘ Theeran' or ‘Dheeran'.
‘Thiruvadirai' is one of the stars in the 27 cosmic constelllation.
I hope this helps
Still we can't say for sure Indus script is dravidian with this,this is a hypothesis,and brahuis origin is unknown,we need rosetta stone to decode
Awesome narration and content. Thank you!
Such a treasure trove this show is ..thanks a lot Namit and the Wire team!..
Thank you so much team, and also providing references
This in incredibly well researched! Kudos!
Cotton textiles are not "spun on looms." Spinning is how the fibre from cotton bolls is made into threads that are entered on a loom for weaving. The preparation of fibre and spinning are separate processes by hand or with tools esp spindles, tools to manage and measure threads, etc.
This is a brilliant and well researched video , my kids love it , thank you ,The Wire ❤
Excellent documentary! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏
Excellent work by wire .... Hats off team wire 🎉
Really great video... fascinating and a pure joy to learn from. Thank you!
Thank you for this incredible series.
Nomoskaar, adab arz hai, hello :-)
Having watched the first two episodes that have been released thus far, on the one hand i feel as if i have gone back to school after many a years for a much-needed relook at the history of our Subcontinent as it has been down the centuries and in a way at my own past stretching back several thousands of years, into times that my sociocultural memory can't help me remember any longer as i go about my daily life...and on the other hand - on the basis of that very feeling - that this series should turn out to be an essential viewing for us all living in today's supercharged and thus chaotic sociopolitical climate in India, putting everything into perspective through the eyes of history, which should calm down us all, phew!
i therefore send my warm congratulations and compliments to everyone involved in coming up with this wonderful and well-timed initiative - thank you.
And looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes; dhonyobaad, shukriya.
Excellent idea for series wire👍
Absolutely amazing
Superb narration and story telling! Right amount of details! KGP ka tempo high hain!

Thank you so much for beginning such a series. Interesting and easy to understand.
Amazing Informative and Knowledgeable
Thank you 'The Wire'
What a great series! ❤
I've disliked and found Indian history the most difficult for it's innumerable dates and names in the vast canon of Indian history which has to be very accurate for board examination. But I didn't feel the same with World History or British History, American History and European history during my College years and I enjoyed reading even my reference book lists. When I watched these episodes you seem to clearly read my mind that I faced during my school days. Watching this just revives my interest in Indian history.
Our centralized examination system and competitive examinations are really restraining and ruining the students from gaining access to scholarly books to read, quest and find higher knowledge.
Brilliant ! Kudos to Namit Arora and The Wire !
Excellent, thank you wire
This was much needed in today's times. Great idea!
Excellent work. We have a great amount to learn from the harapans! Waiting for next episode.
please, do continue this series ... eagerly waiting for upcoming episodes

Very informative and nicely presented!
Very informative video. No stupidness. Only evidence based information. Best video on Harappan civilization.
This is amazing never expected
Very well written, beautiful narrated and spectacularly directed... hats off to the team...
Thanks. Based on sound history which itself has become rare in India today. Just came back from British museum and kind of in awe. Was just thinking of IVC when I was going through the early Egypt ( the carnelian beads and lapis lajuli- must be from ivc( what I have read somewhere). Know so much about Egypt but so little about IVC.
It’s unfortunate that we don’t have a Rosetta Stone for harappan language.
Along with linguistics can you please also discuss population genetics of IVC and early Indians a bit. There’s been so many genetic studies do with so conclusive results.
There is another documentary series called Story of India by Michael Wood. It is also very interesting.
As the video says, maybe its better to look at it as more of a trade language. When the urban aspect declined, the need for it may also have declined.
this leftist believe in AIT theory but they never said that indians don't have r1b (~15000bce) haplogroup ( very very very rare in indians) indians only have r1a ( ~20000bce) haplogroup and the genetic diversity of r1a is higher in subcontinent specifically in present day iindia than europe ( europe have both r1a & r1b) and the migration of steppe population they talk about is very recent and is very slow in iindia started from nanda empire upto kanishk empire ( i.e 500bce to 200 ce) again the steepe population is also an branch of iranian agriculturalist ( the name should be rename as aaryan or iindian agriculturist why the f...they name it as iranian ) and also these leftist talk about ani and asi they never say that the asi is actually an andamanese dna .
Language, presentation and illustration... All are commendable. Hearing this series in my car while going to my job place and coming back.
Very interesting & informative to watch Episode 1. Looking forward to next one…
