A Sloka (couplet) from the Atharva Veda (one of the 4 Vedas - treatises on knowledge from ancient India).
We are the birds of the same nest,
We may wear different skins,
We may speak different languages,
We may believe in different religions,
We may belong to different cultures,
Yet we share the same home - OUR EARTH.
Born on the same planet
Covered by the same skies
Gazing at the same stars
Breathing the same air
We must learn to happily progress together
Or miserably perish together,
For man can live individually,
But can survive only collectively
The Vedic age, incorporates the lineage of Manus and host of other stellar personalities, continued from archaic past until the end of the Mahabharat War (3138 B.C.). The Ramayanic and Mahabharat civilizations are included during this period as well.
The so-called theory says that Aryans came into Bharat (India) from outside around 1500 B.C. This is now being disproven and abandoned among academic circles and research institutions.
These civilizations flourished on the banks of Saraswati and Sindhu rivers. The so-called Indus Valley Cultures (2500 B.C.) are testimonial to this premise.
