Harappa: God's City of Civilisation is an audacious act of literary and intellectual imagination that reclaims the Indus Valley civilisation from the long shadow of Vedic mythology. Ilaiah deliberately fashions a counter-myth—not because history is irrelevant, but because history itself has long been colonized by those who claimed exclusive ownership of India's past. It is a courageous declaration that the oppressed, too, have the right to imagine, narrate, and reclaim their own civilisational inheritance.

Kancha Ilaiah demonstrates exceptional skill in bridging ancient civilisations with contemporary understanding, grounding grand historical events in human experience and emotion. The novel is a masterwork that brilliantly illuminates ancient history through a captivating narrative lens. It is an extraordinary contribution to historical literature.
