The Vedic-Puranic literature as well as archaeological, geological, historical, lingales, and literary accounts have been reviewed to establish the various cultures that evolved in ancient India from about 3500 BCE to the Mahabharata War (1450 BCE). The book describes various misconceptions, eg, the myth about an Aryan invasion. The following markers are used to establish the dates and geographical locations of various cultures:

(1) The rise in sea levels due to melting of land-based snow after the last Ice Age (i) Migration of the Dravidian people from the lost continent of Kumari Kandam that submerged under the Indian Ocean.

(iii) The dates for the start of farming, use of kiln-baked bricks, domestication of horses, and metal working in the Indian subcontinent.

(iv) The dates when Saraswati River dried up and the Mahabharata War occurred.

The book notes that aava-containing or rath-containing names could not have existed before horses were domesticated or charlots were in use. The book also notes that Mathura Krana is different from Dwarks Krana; the two are separated by more than 1000 years.

During Mathura Krana's time, conflicts were settled by hand-to-hand combat or with the use of a mace. In contrast, during Dwarka Krena's time, metal arms were used.
