This is probably the beginning of Sino-Indian diplomacy forged over textiles… Long before the Aryans came to India, a team from ancient Bharat Varsha had visited China, known then as Kosa Karas, to exchange silk for cotton, says Canada-based historian, filmmaker and writer Bhagwan S. Gidwani, the author of the just-published, “The March of the Aryans”.
Rishi Skanda, an ancient seer, had established an “ashram” near the source of the Sindhu river in Tibet, which attracted a number of local people.
“One of them presented to the “rishi (sage) a cloth of soft, sleek silk. The sage was told that the silk, brought by a traveller from north, was made from the cocoons of domesticated worms. The traveller had been delighted to exchange silk for the finest cotton made in the Sindhu region,” Gidwani recounted to IANS.
Book Description
From the bestselling author of The Sword of Tipu Sultan comes a sweeping epic about the Aryans
This is a heavily revised and abridged version of Return of the Aryans
Bhagwan Gidwani has a strong commercial profile and The Sword of Tipu Sultan was a massive bestseller

In a remarkable feat of imagination and research, Bhagwan S. Gidwani takes us back to the dawn of civilization (8000 BCE) to vividly recreate the world of the Aryans. He tells us why the Aryans left India their native land for foreign shores and shows us their triumphant return to their homeland. Here are characters like the gentle god, Sindhu Putra, spreading his message of love; the hermit, Bharat, who inspired the dream of unity, equality, human rights and dignity for all; the physician sage Dhanawantar and his wife, Dhanawantari; peace-loving Kashi after whom the holy city of Varanasi is named; and Nila who gave his name to the river Nile.Vast and absorbing, with a cast of thousands, The March of the Aryans is a gripping tale of kings and poets, seers and gods, battles and romance, and the rise and fall of civilizations.
