Description

The book explores one of the oldest ancient heritage sites of the nation Bharat Varsh, also known as India or Hindustan, names bestowed by foreign invaders to this nation. The heritage site Kanvashram, commanded a dominant position in the subcontinent during the Vedic period, when Rig Veda was composed, by the enlightened Rishis dwelling along the banks of River Malini.
Kanvashram, was the ashram of Rishi Kanv, where Emperor Bharat, son of King Dushyant and Shakuntala was born, after whom this nation derives its name, Bhart Varsh. Fame and glory of Kanvashram diminished gradually over the centuries, with its significance remaining till the 18th century. In 20th century, there were not many who were aware of the presence of Kanvashram. Its memory faded and the heritage site itself was swallowed by the dense forests of the Shivalik mountain ranges in present day Uttarakhand.
The book traces the path of migrants who abandoned their homeland on the bank of the drying River Saraswati, to settle along the River Malini. The migrants and their descendants gave rise to a vibrant new culture – whose roots continue to nourish the soul of this Ancient Nation till date. More than a historical account, this book chronicles the rise and fall of Kanvashram alongside the evolving destiny of the Nation Bharat Varsh itself.
