  1. This is my first post. Dear friends Welcome to the Harappan Civilization blogspot. I have a great deal of interest in the Harappan civilization and this blog serves to collate information regarding that mysterious civilization and disseminate any news and information. Please give me links to any newspaper articles also books on the Harappan civilization. I am a Malaysian citizen of Indian origin. I am a third generation Malaysian Indian and I have a great interest in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and any other country that has Harappan sites in it. From the start no politicking between Indians and Pakistanis. Is it not a fact that we are related largely by blood and share much cultural similarities, including the way we cook our food the languages that we speak and our brown skin whether it of a lighter or a darker shade of brown. No warring should take place here. This is a blog for researchers and those who are interested in this remarkable but relatively understudied civilization. You are all my brothers and sisters. Those older than me Namaste Uncles and Aunts.
