About the Book:
The Rigveda is the oldest and most significant source of material for understanding the history of India, Indo-Aryan, and even Indo-European civilizations. As a text deeply rooted in a living tradition spanning thousands of years, it cannot be fully analyzed without considering how this tradition has shaped its interpretation. In this volume, the author strongly affirms that India was not only the homeland of the Indo-Aryans but also of the Indo-Iranians and Indo-Europeans. By directly engaging with primary sources, the author applies traditional tools of interpretation to critically analyze the Rigveda, elaborating on a historical analysis based on genealogies of the hymns' composers, as preserved in the Anukramanis (indices). This study offers fresh perspectives on the Rigveda’s historical and cultural significance.
