As the term Muthukaadu in Sangam literature signifies, our burial-worshipping ancestors were quite aware that though people die and society is destroyed, only their burials will endure as stony sentinels, observers to the ravages of time and the vagaries of history.Based on archaeobotanical research, Mukund Kajale of University College London posited that megalithic people carried out agricultural activity in both the rabi and kharif seasons.
The forms give them a sign to God.
In Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and North-east region, it still continues to be a living culture. From genome data, we know there were waves of migration from 70000 BC to 40000 BC. The megalithic aspect of the Berber culture may have been used as a cult of the dead and/or star-worship. “These were accidental scratch marks which resembled the Indus script," he says.BRW culture was contemporaneous with the Painted Grey Ware culture present in the Ganga valley (1300-600 BC), a proto-urban culture associated with Hastinapur of the Mahabharata by noted archaeologist B.B. Even within the Chennai region many of these have been destroyed as urban boundaries have expanded," says Selvakumar.Though the individual poems are dated to around 300 BC, some poems may reflect the circumstances many centuries before, even a millennium earlier, writes Iniyan.“It is no doubt that the construction and worship of stupas have evolved from the cult of the dead," writes Selvakumar. The Malaprabha Valley offers a very good case illustrating the continuity between monument building traditions in prehistory and later times. Selvakumar thinks governments should build megalithic parks to help preserve these fast-disappearing monuments.In concordance with their belief in life after death, the megalithic people were in the habit of interring burial goods along with mortal remains. They only believe in spirits. While some are still intact, many have been damaged by entrepreneurial folks carrying away the stone slabs for construction purposes. Banded agate beads with eye patterns have been recovered from megalithic sites. “Megaliths were not built for commoners. The Harappans then diffused eastwards and came into contact with the early agricultural settlements in the Gangetic plain and moved southwards, and gradually reverted to a more primitive way of life.

Dolmens there—called muniyaras by locals, who probably thought it was a meditation chamber for munis (ascetics)—are located behind the village high school on a rocky hillock overlooking a fertile valley, with a gorgeous view of surrounding hills and of the Pampa river serenely flowing down to the Bay of Bengal.To back this theory, just the non-consumable parts of a horse—i.e., skull and hoof bones—have been recovered from excavated burials in Vidarbha, dating back to 700-800 BC, indicating the rest was consumed in a feast. Essentially, the emergence of Megalithic period marks the beginning of second urbanization in various parts of India beyond what was covered by Indus Valley Civilization," says Korisettar.Modern research, however, increasingly disputes this view, with a tilt in favour of independent origin of ideas and inventions.
