I think what they're getting at is that as best we know, Vedic religions came to India with the Indo-Aryan migration. So the pre-Vedic religions of the Indus Valley Civilization are unlikely to have had any notion of a Vedic concept like brahman.
- ncmncm 4y agoRight. There is basically no possibility at all that IVC was Vedic. Vedic was pastoral and martial, IVC sedentary, farming, and wholly non-martial. BTW, "IVC" is problematic, because it extended hundreds of km east well across the subcontinent. The Hindi majority in that part of its range would prefer it not.
