Rarh - The Cradle of Civilization

About the Book Gondwanaland was a super-continent that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. And the very oldest part of that continent later came to be called Rarh ("Land of Literate Soil"). That ancient land is now to be found within the Indian sub-continent, occupying an area mostly coextensive with the western part of West Bengal. With Rarh as the nucleus, civilization developed throughout Bengal, and the influence of Rarh spread to other lands also. In Rarh: The Cradle of Civilization, Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar tells this story.

Human beings originated at a few particular points on this planet. Even without getting into a detailed discussion as to which humans appeared first and which appeared later, I can say that the origin of humankind in Rarh is very ancient. No trace can be found of any more ancient human habitation.

Rarh was not only the starting-point of civilization, Rarh represented the first-intermingling of the basins of small and big rivers, and the exchange of activities and ideas, laid the foundation for the civilization and the culture of Rarh, whose splendor in turn ushered in a golden dawn not only in Rarh, but also in the life of all of the underdeveloped humanity of that dark age.
