INDIA, December 27, 2022 (Organiser.org): A book titled The Afghan Connection authored by Dr. Pramod V. Pathak, a professional chemical engineer from The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Mumbai) and a Ph. D. in Vedic Literature from Mumbai University, is a phenomenal work and can be considered a “magnum opus” by the reader. It has been published by Bhishma Prakashan, a prominent publishing house from the city of Pune in Maharashtra. This treatise by Dr. Pathak draws a parallel between the ancient Vedic civilisation of India and the Vedic culture prevalent in ancient Afghanistan. The first part of this book deals with the five archaeological divisions of Afghanistan and the names of reputed British and American scholars and diplomats associated with excavations of various sites in Afghanistan. The most famous ones are Mundigak and Shahr-i-Sokhta.
The author has forged a strong connection and striking resemblance between various antiquities and symbols of Vedic Culture and artifacts obtained from archaeological excavations in Afghanistan. Some examples include Sacred Bull seals, fire temples, priest-king heads and altars and the import of Lapis Lazuli from Badakhshan in Afghanistan to India.
Much more at source.
