v2.c43.1
INDIA has always been a land of precious gems. Harappan sites, specially Mohenjo-Daro, have yielded, on archaeological excavations, a bewildering variety of gems of different types and diverse origins. After the collapse of the Harappan civilization and eastward migration of population from the valley of the (drying up) Sarasvatī river, Indian society took more than a millennium to re-organise itself in the sub-continent.
