William Durant, author of the 10-volume 'Story of Civilization, wrote, "India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of European languages. She was the mother of our philosophy. . . of our mathematics. . . of the ideals embodied in Christianity. . . of self-government and democracy. . .Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all." Similarly, recent findings of archaeologists suggest the possibility of a more developed civilization, thousands of years before the Indus valley, Greek or Mesopotamian. The incredibly ancient sunken city recently found off the Gulf of Cambay in India was published through courtesy of the author Linda Moulton Howe. The underwater archaeological site that could be more than 9,000 years old is about 30 miles west of Surat in the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay) in northwestern India. Even modern day science and technology has confirmed the presence of civilization in the subcontinent.

Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The recently discovered bridge currently named as Adam's Bridge is made of a chain of shoals, 30km long. The bridge's unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first sign of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost equivalent. This means the Ramayana Setu found in the scriptures is now gaining identity. The work also encompasses linguistic evidences in proving India to be the progenitor of communication.

Linguists have no idea how, when and where the languages of the world began, diverged, or mixed; because they did not look towards the Sanskrit language whose vowel system was partly adopted by the Greeks and whose apabhransha (modification of words) are still found in the languages of the world. Furthermore, evidences from the Hindu scriptures are valuable suggestions in this regard.

A thorough study into the history of communication ends in surprising findings contributing to India's leadership in the field. It will not be out of context to hope that this study focuses on the truth recovered from the depths of illusion that have been misleading for the last several thousands of years. However, it must be pointed out that the western theories and findings have always been suspected in lieu of the inaccuracies they are surrounded with. It is evident in the way western scholars have tried to fabricate the whole theory based upon the origin of communication on our planet. Until the nineteenth century the world history and history of each individual nation was much retold, redesigned and redefined by the British for establishing the sovereignty of the English empire. Later day researchers from both the western and the eastern world have acknowledged the truth that India was the initiation of all communication.
