You too have acknowledged Harrapans were already present in Indian subcontinent before the aryans arrivedthat the Arya were not present during the Harappan Civilisation, and that they arrived later. In other words, the Harappan Civilisation was pre-Arya, and so was the language they spoke.""
Here is your statement-
"that the Arya were not present during the Harappan Civilisation, and that they arrived later. In other words, the Harappan Civilisation was pre-Arya, and so was the language they spoke.""
Now stand by it,
You and other Commies are fool If you think that,As I've said to your kind before, do not lay claim to the Harappan civilisation, the IVC or any associated peoples. They were ancient Pakistani peoples, not Hindustani or gangetic. Do not confuse this already heavily derailed thread by falsely equating modern India with the IVC, or modern brahminism with original Hindu and animist groups. What Pakistan had in the IVC is nothing to do with you and your secular republic .of deranged and raped brahminists. Aryans messed up your religion and you chose to keep their corruptions. That's your business. The IVC has nothing to do with you, apart from the fact that it fathered your nation together with Aryan migrants. Without the IVC and the Aryans, you would still be riding elephants.
This decade all your commie lies about our sanatan dharm are going down the drain,
Populace of the sacred land of Bharat will know the truth.
David Reich: Harappan ancestry is the single largest source population for almost all people in India today https://frontline.thehindu.com/arts-and-culture/heritage/harappan-ancestryis-the-single-largest-source-population-for-almost-all-people-in-india-today/article32514104.ece?fbclid=IwAR1wIx4H1g3ptfGUfkBEgkfGDXZXkS6Pz2RvqGBmeSu4ZK7ZNwz9l41cAKM… We are all children of our Harappan ancestors from Sarasvati-Sindhu valley civilization. We have inherited their genes as well.
They could have buried it psycho, why you retards always imagine eating ,What an idiot.
Yes, IVC killed and ate cows. Again, they weren't like you brahminist filth.

Fact Check: What did the Harappan people really eat?
The menu at 'Historical Gastronomica' suggests that the food of the Indus Valley people would be familiar to many Indians today, even as it challenges the idea of an essentially “Indian” culinary culture.

The National Museum in New Delhi has decided to keep meat out of the ‘Historical Gastronomica’ event that it is hosting on its premises until February 25, allegedly after “a couple of MPs” reacted to the menu posted online by the Ministry of Culture (The Indian Express, February 20).
The last-minute diktat has resulted in dishes such as fish in turmeric stew, quail/fowl/country chicken roasted in saal leaf, offal’s pot, bati with dry fish, meat fat soup, lamb liver with chickpea, and dried fish and mahua oil chutney being knocked off the table.

Food of Harappans
The event, presented by the Museum along with One Station Million Stories (OSMS), claims to treat visitors to “The Indus dining experience” through a “specially crafted menu that strictly includes ingredients that were identified by archaeologists & researchers from sites of the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation”.
However, archaeological evidence from Indus Valley sites (c. 3300 BC to 1300 BC) in present-day India and Pakistan suggests that a purely vegetarian meal will not provide a complete picture of what the Harappan people ate.

“To judge from the quantity of bones left behind, animal foods were consumed in abundance: beef, buffalo, mutton, turtles, tortoises, gharials, and river and sea fish,” food historian K T Achaya recorded in his magisterial history of Indian food, Indian Food: A Historical Companion (Oxford University Press, 1994)."
BEEF was on the menu of your supposed ancestors.

The Harappans grew lentils and other pulses (peas, chickpeas, green gram, black gram). Their main staples were wheat and barley, which were presumably made into bread and perhaps also cooked with water as a gruel or porridge. In some places, particularly Gujarat, they also cultivated some native millets; possibly broomcorn millet, which may have been introduced from southern Central Asia; and by 2000 BC, if not before, African millets. They fed local wild rice to their animals and probably began to cultivate it, though rice does not become an important crop until Post-Harappan times. The Harappans must have eaten a range of fruit, vegetables and spices : these included a variety of brassica, brown mustard greens, coriander, dates, jujube, walnuts, grapes, figs; many others, such as mango, okra, caper, sugarcane, garlic, turmeric, ginger, cumin and cinnamon, were locally available and probably grown or gathered by the Harappans, but the evidence is lacking. Sesame was grown for oil, and linseed oil may also have been used.
Meat came mainly from cattle i.e. ox, but the Harappans also kept chickens, buffaloes and some sheep and goats, and hunted a wide range of wildfowl and wild animals such as deer, antelopes and wild boar. They also ate fish and shellfish from the rivers, lakes and the sea; as well as being eaten fresh, many fish were dried or salted – many bones from marine fish such as jack and catfish were found at Harappa, far inland.
Harappan houses had a kitchen opening from the courtyard, with a hearth or brick-built fireplace. Pottery vessels in a range of sizes were used for cooking; in wealthy households metal vessels were also used.
Few certain agricultural tools have been found. Flint blades were probably used for harvesting. A ploughed field at Early Harappan Kalibangan shows that the plough was in use by the early 3rd millennium BC; its criss-cross furrows allowed two crops to be raised in the same field, a practice that has continued into modern times.

We have a good deal of evidence for Harappan subsistence. Staple crops varying by region and time period included wheat, barley, millets, rice, and pulses. For details, see the following:

For animals, the domesticates humped cattle, sheep, goat, and perhaps water buffalo were of principle importance for both primary (after death) and secondary (before death) products. See:

Both wild animal and wild plant resources continued to be important including fish, molluscs, hunted animals, and various wild plants for fodder, food, and medicines. Linen, cotton, and wool were important resources for textile manufacture, and silk was also used., coming from wild silk moths. For the last, see:

It Indicates that they ate beef prior, mostly of male bull (ox) and buffalo after sacrificing to gods , when they were guised as hunter gatherer ,BEEF was on the menu of your supposed ancestors.
later on, As they evolved they stopped eating beef, though it is not clear in the studies which cattle beef they ate.
Most serious historians agree that the meat was consumed in the prehistory and early history of the Indian subcontinent. Palaeolithic tools used to hunt animals have been found in abundance, especially in Gujarat.
Achaya writes: "Tools of the Middle Stone Age, 50,000 to 40,000 years ago, mostly consisted of pointed oval-shaped stones of various kinds. These were used as axes, spears, scrapers and knives, all of which suggest again a mainly meat diet."
Tools such as cleavers, which were oblong in shape with a long chisel edge, too have been found all over the country, and connote an essentially meat diet, Achaya says.
Around 5000 BC, more sophisticated chisels, axes, adzes, choppers, scrapers, knives and hammers start to appear, as well as the saddle quern and mortars and pestles for the grinding of grains and spices. These indicate the important shift from food gathering to food cultivation.
At this point, Achaya notes, fish became an important part of the diet, since fishing required more sophisticated technology than had been available earlier. Net sinkers and numerous fish hooks from this time have been found at riverine and coastal neolithic sites.
The Vedic people too, consumed meat. Achaya notes that the Vedas refer to some 250 species of animals, 50 of which were "deemed fit for sacrifice, and by inference for eating". Marketplaces had stalls for vendors of different kinds of animal meats, including gogataka (cattle), arabika (sheep), shukharika (swine), nagarika (deer), shakuntika (fowl) and gidhabuddaka (alligator and tortoise), he writes.
However, the Arthasastra, believed to have been compiled between the 2nd century BC and 3rd century AD, lays down rules to manage slaughterhouses and ensure the purity of meat. Vegetarianism appears to have gradually become the dietary choice .
Which beef ??BEEF was on the menu of your supposed ancestors.
Cow, than provide proof ,
Avoid commie sources , If you can
It Indicates that they ate beef prior, mostly of male bull (ox) and buffalo after sacrificing to gods , when they were guised as hunter gatherer , though it is not clear in the studies which cattle beef they ate.
later on, they evolved as farmers,gradually they stopped eating beef,
In the Hindu religion, the cow has acquired a sacred status. It used to be sacrificed like other animals and offered to the gods and its meat was eaten. The cow was gradually incorporated into a religious ritual and itself became sacred and an object of veneration from the 4th century BCE.
Though this Does not prove,That they did not follow Vedic dharm, is it??
