After the Weltkrieg, she sided with the Indian revolt due to her leftist political views. She became known as Cyndie the sindie Sindhi.
What if the IVC never existed? What would be the effects?
We all have studied about the Indus Valley civilization and that it was the most complete and organized ancient civilization that existed around (2600-1900)BCE. But, we don't know yet about how it came to an end all at once. I was just thinking, is it possible for might not have come to an end by the force of nature but the people of the civilization might have migrated out to other parts of India for better life quality or for better resources and have settled somewhere else? What do you think.?
Could the Vedic/Indo Aryans settle in the valley and mix with the inhabitants, or could they possibly cultivate the helmand River as a result of being pushed West?
You see, new finds conclude towards the end of the civilization, men committed terrible acts of violence against women and children. New finds discovered that the society wasnβt as egalitarian/equal as we might think, because of the fact that many of the outer, smaller houses were next to sewers, and prone to disease, while the larger houses in the center were in the middle.
Also, citizens with more βindigenousβ South Asian ancestry had suffered more diseases too.
Another thing, it was mostly βDravidianβ men who married the indigenous South Asian women, we have no evidence of Mtdna of βDravidianβ or βIranian Farmerβ women marrying/interbreeding with South Asian men.
The civilization was a great one, yes. The civilization had many accomplishments, but these accomplishments were not new. The distinguishing factor is itβs equality, which it certainly NEVER had. The sewage system was probably used a lot by the elite, while the average person smelled their garbage.
There was a lot of violence, everyday towards the end of the civilization.
There also wasnβt a confederacy like people think, otherwise how could the stamps and buildings be uniform (literally).
There were young female skeletons which showed depressions on their heads, while male children did not.
Aside from this, I really believe the civilization would have had βgood timesβ because we do not see this kind of madness happening previously in the civilizations time periods, rather towards the end, meaning perhaps because of mass famines, the pious elite/confederacy dealt with it like it was divine? And to which extent, things spiraled even more.
So in this timeline, The Indus Valley becomes heavily Iranic Influenced due to the valley being occupied by Iranian/Persian rulers for some time, a mixing happens in Eastern Pakistan (as in Sindh/Punjab, not Bengal) similar to Balochistan/KPK where Iranids and Indo Brachids merge. Atleast, or a fully Iranid Indus Valley. What would be the impacts on the Indus Valley? (POD starts at 550 B.C, Darius)
The POD begins around 8,000 BCE:
Around 8,000 BCE, Caucasian Farmers from the Fertile Crescent move East into the Iranian Plateau, bringing with them advanced Agricultural methods. By this time, the Agriculturalists split into two groups:
This group stays in the Iranian Plateau
This group migrates further east
These farmers migrate through present day Balochistan, and settle along the vast border between the plateau's to their west, fertile valley's to the east, sea to the south, and frigid mountains to the north. They bring with them agricultural methods, and start settling the area. The introduction of these people starts the "Mehrgarh" civ. and with it, the first instances of South Asian culture.
STAGES:
Period of Mehrgarha (8,000/7,000 BCE to 3,300/2,600 BCE) In this early period, grain was the predominant yield and was obviously enriched with some wheat. The grain found here is the all-around created six-push grain. A little measure of wild grain and two-push trained grain. Four types of wheat i.e. Einkorn, Emmer, Durum, and Bread Wheat were also present. In any case, the early grain and wheat in Mehrgarh had prevalently little round grains, demonstrating that assortments adjusted to nearby conditions were initially created here. Goats and sheep were additionally raised at Mehrgarh. Mud was used to create mud-brick houses, and it was a duty to build and farm. Early Mehrgarh occupants lived in mud block houses, stockpiled their grain in storage facilities, molded instruments with nearby copper mineral, and fixed their extensive bin compartments with bitumen. They developed six-push grain, einkorn and emmer wheat, jujubes and dates, and crowded sheep, goats and cows. In the later phase of the early period, smelting became prominent, and was also used, not just for molding instruments, but also:
Dentistry: These people practice advanced (or for the time) dentistry methods including wires made from smelting local copper deposits by 6,000 BCE. These wires were used as "Proto-Braces".
Anyways, these were instances of Proto-Dentistry, which were common among all. The system was similar to welfare systems of today, and were so because, the more you worked in your profession, the more food you got, it was simple, but fair. The religion system was that:
RELIGION:
Early religion of the Early period was simple, there was a female godess who provided the harvest, and she was worshipped duly through the seasons. There were two festivals:

What if the Harrapan/Indus Valley Civilization survived? Basically, monsoons do not weaken and the Steppe migration/mixing continues but the civilization never collapses.
