We named an entire civilization after a site discovered in 1921.
But Kunal shows pottery dating to 7500 BCE. Bhiranna has pre-7000 BCE early phases.
Harappa itself? Later.
Colonial archaeology named things in discovery order, not chronological accuracy. So our textbooks call it "Harappan Civilization" when Kunal and Bhiranna were thriving millennia before Harappa existed.
It's like naming your entire family lineage after the middle child who happened to answer the door first. 👴
We built our understanding of ancient India on labels chosen by convenience, not truth. The oldest sites became footnotes. The famous site became the face.
Who benefits when the chronology stays confused?
