The Absence of Tigers in Ancient Epics

The transformative discovery made in 1924 by John Marshall, Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India, revealed the existence of the Indus Valley Civilisation, pushing back the origins of Indian civilisation by millennia. Now, Devdutt Pattanaik’s new book, Ahimsa: 100 Reflections on the Harappan Civilisation, offers a unique perspective on this ancient civilisation, exploring it through the lens of mythology rather than traditional history or archaeology, connecting the dots between the imagery depicted on the seals we are familiar with.
