For over two hundred years, detailed scholarly research has not yielded a consensus on who occupied India in 3000 B.C.E. Yet Srila Prabhupada is quite convinced, as he writes in the Fourth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam: “This tract of land, which is called Brahmavarta, consists of what is known in the modern age as portions of Punjab and Northern India. It is clear that the kings of India once ruled all the world and that their culture was Vedic.” He also mentions in the same purport that Maharaja Prthu resided in a tract of land between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.
