Around 2000 BC J. C, the Indus civilization was on the defensive: shortly afterwards,
was part of Harappa fires mediated by invaders from the Northwest. These "barbarians"
were not even Indo-Europeans, but their invasion was no doubt linked to the general
movement of the West, who were involved in the Indo-Europeans (Piggott, p. 255). Some
centuries later, they halted, roughly, to everything he subsisted civilizaci6n even the
Indus. Until recently, although it was believed that by invading India, the Indo-Aryan
aboriginal tribes had found only that culturally, they were still in a state etnografico: it
was the Dasyus whose. "strong" Indra, the Rig Veda, attacked and des-trui were but
modest trenches, it was said But Whee .. jr has been shown to hold hymn of the Rig Veda
(I, 53) that exalts occasion Indra conquer the "strong" of Dasyus refers to the solid
defense of the citadel at Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro (Piggott, p. 263). Hence we
conclude that the Indo-Aryans during their descent into central India * found not only
aboriginal tribes, but also the latest so-brevivientes of the Indus civilization, who handed
the draft of gratia. In the cultural piano, the harappianos were clearly passed higher in the
Indo-Europeans: the urban and industrial civilization had no point of comparison with the
"barbarism" of the Indo-Europeans. But they felt no vocation harappianos combat (until
we can assume that theocracy was a kind of commercial and industrial), to be poorly
prepared for this attack of a young and aggressive, were defeated and destroyed.
However, the destruction of the Indus culture could not be definitive. The collapse of
urban civilization equals being not outright extinction of the culture, but simply to their
regression toward rural ways, larval, j, "popular". (This is a phenomenon widely observed
in Europe during and after the great barbarian invasions). But soon, the "Aryanization" of
Punjab attracted to the movement of the great synthesis that would one day become in
Hinduism. The considerable number of elements "harappianos" registered in Hinduism
can be explained by a single-mind contact, established in the early days, including
conquerors and the representatives of the culture of
Indus. These representatives were not necessarily the founders of the Indus civilization
and its direct descendants: the tax could be, by irradiation, certain cultural forms
harappia-pines, which were preserved in remote regions, first observed by the tides of
arianizaci6n. This fact would explain the follow-ing, apparently strange: the cult of the
Great Goddess and of Siva, the phallic and dendrolatria, asceticism and yoga, and so on.,

Pulaar" in medieval India and modem. The truth is that existed since the time harappiana,
a synthesis between the spirituality of Aborigines Australoid and the "masters", the
founders of urban civilization. But we think not only that non-thesis was retained but it
was too scientific and almost exclusive contribution of the "masters" (relative
