One sunny day, during the summer vacation, I was sleeping on my couch and watching TV. When I saw an ad about some new series of some Saraswati river. I never heard about Saraswati River in school or anywhere. So I took my iPad, SAT on the couch, and opened Google.
I had some questions about the Saraswati River, the first one was: from where to where does the river flow?
I got to know that the Saraswati River flows from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea at the Rann of Kutch. That means the mouth of the river is the Arabian Sea. I even got to know that the Saraswati River had dried out, so I searched: When and Why did the Saraswati River dry?
I got to know that the river dried because of tectonic disturbances and climate changes 6000 years ago but the underground flow of the water is still there.
Well, what are tectonic disturbances? I know this is a trick of Google to make me search, I think that Google gets paid for the number of searches just like YouTubers get paid for the number of subscribers. Whatever, I’ll just be kind to google and search, google should thank me or at least give me a present. Ok so finally I found that tectonic disturbances in simple words are earthquakes.
Now back to the Saraswati River. Ok, so my next question: which river does the Saraswati River flow to?
And the answer is Alaknanda River. Well, neither have I heard about Alaknanda River, but first is.
My next question is: is there a village located on the banks of the river?
The answer is YES, there is a village named Mana Village on the banks of the Saraswati River.
Here is a picture:
And the reason it is called the last village is that after this village the border of India closes.
Well if you see the village it is not in a great condition because of the drought of the river, but if the river wouldn’t dry then it could’ve been a great village. But this village looks like a great holiday destination, so I can try to persuade my parents to go there.
Now my next question: what if the Saraswati river would never dry up?
Well, a random website said that If the Saraswati River never dried up there would’ve been chances that the Harappa and Indus Valley civilisations would’ve lasted longer. I think that the Harappa and Indus Valley civilisations would’ve been cities by now. I blame the climate for the end of Harappa and Indus Valley civilisations.
When I searched more and went deeper, I learned that: when the Saraswati river had dried out, the villages on the banks of the Saraswati River were abandoned and the villages went on the search of other villages where they found Ganga. If the Saraswati River would never dry then Ganga would have been found later. So whatever happened was for good.
