Judith Mirville does a superb writeup on this matter about which I honestly know very little. However, I think she is onto something and a lot of her narrative strikes me as accurate in particular the details about what actually went down. It was in a sense a slave revolt or a peasant rebellion. Or a rebellion of a mercenary army, even better.
Recall that the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was also in part brought about by hiring foreign mercenaries as paid fighting men. Really soldiers for hire know little if any loyalty but to the coin. That should be clear by now. That the US in its mature decadence is also increasingly hiring out paid mercenaries to do the Empire’s dirty work is most disturbing. Say what you will about the US military, but one thing they are not are traitors. They fight for the land, the nation and the flag. They are not a 5th column from within.
Also the IVC people bringing in Aryans as cheap, lousy labor to save money and hire a more docile workforce for lower pay by replacing their increasingly consumptive and demanding middle classes reminds me a lot of the US elite’s hiring consumptive and demanding largely White middle class and working class workers with treasonous Mexicans and Indians who know no loyalty to the land and in fact are often hostile to the homeland itself. To some extent both are intent on taking over industries or perhaps the whole nation by the overthrow of the hated White man.
As the cheap labor Aryans made increasingly lousy cities, so we see illegal Mexican labor creating increasingly worse structural products as competent White construction workers are replaced by inferior illegals who cut corners and do shoddy work.
By the same token, our great White programming class is being replaced by cheap labor “Aryans,” descendants of the destroyers of yore, being used as a scab force to replace demanding and consumptive upper middle class White programmers with inferior Indians writing shoddy code. Our software infrastructure has begun to decline to lousy cheap labor code the same way as our physical shelter infrastructure declines due to sloppy illegal aliens working for $10/hour.
Recrudescence is a bitch.
First as tragedy, then as farce!
Those who do not learn from Time are in for a re-run!
I happen to know the matter in greater detail. It was more, and also worse than an invasion. It was first a slow-pace immigration, probably willed by a more and more decadent and conservative oligarchy who needed a sturdier-built, more docile, less questioning, less short-tempered manpower as laborers, as soldiers and as security guards, and the Aryans from the neighboring mountainous regions proved the best and better built for sustaining harsher life, less equipment, lower pay : this is clearly visible examining the later parts of the IVC cities, which were far less well-built, at a lower cost, with less equipments and comforts, a clear sign of more greed and less benevolence from the ruling class’s part.
We may very reasonably surmise that, for this is what happened in European history too at least twice. The Germanic invasion of Rome also started as an immigration influx of the same kind for at least three centuries before it transformed into a downright military invasion from without, it was facilitated by the fact most Roman soldiers and the best, less decadent Roman or Gallo-Roman families also spoke or knew some kind of German.
Earlier in European history, the Dorian invasion that ended with the Minoan-Mycenaean civilization was also a like long protracted invasion through immigration. In both cases there were explicit arrangements between the ruling oligarchy that agreed upon replacing their too demanding, too much consuming, too capricious population with another one.
In Harrappa, though, the final blow was not an invasion of the Alaric kind, it was a very violent and explosive revolution by the Aryan manpower and security force having gone berserk, aiming at destroying the whole infrastructure and bringing back primeval conditions of like, not at edifying a new, more efficient empire. The thing most like it in our times might be the Hutu genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda.
The invasion of Rome by Alaric and others did not put the city into ruins, actually those Germans had greater admiration for what Rome had been in the past than the last Roman themselves, and invaded the city to put it into worthier hands.
The worst material and intellectual ruining of Rome, when many arts in many domains were lost for ever due to the general ambiance of superstition and cynicism, had already taken place during the most woeful part of the Empire, just before Diocletian took on. As the empire was gradually taken over by Germanic tribes, it was more like sovereign nation-states taking their independence from an Empire that for centuries had no longer brought about any good to the commoners for long, this was clearly the case as Gaul transformed into what was to become France.
As the Germanic-led nations came to power, there was to be no economic decline for a century or more (actually health improved due to more abundant nutrition for most than under the last Roman bureaucrats : the myth that people no longer washed because there were no longer Roman baths is a lie, bathing facilities improved during the Middle Ages though with lighter equipment, it is from the Renaissance onwards that European peoples accustomed themselves to much dirt), and culture was recovering somewhat though at a very low scale compared to before the 3th century nadir point.
What just later on pushed Europe and Rome into far deeper ruin thereafter were the indirect economic consequences of the Muslim invasion of the Mediterranean, by sundering West from East for good, by making sea voyages and road travel perfectly impracticable, and this took place as the Normans from Scandinavia also plundered from upper north without any intention of building anything.
The Aryans of India, on the other hand, had absolutely no admiration for the cities that had been employing them or bought their cattle resources, they seemed thus intent on destroying every trace of former sophistication to perform a civilization reset. Why so? Given what I know about the character of Indian oligarchies, my opinion is that once those cities were built the ruling professional class decided to acquire competences not in what might bring about further material progress, but mind control techniques on a background of economic regression for most, as can be seen with the architectural evolution of those cities in time.
The oligarchy would prevent more and more talent from flourishing except their own mind-control techniques, and rather dumb down the rest, so as to prevent an evolution or a revolution. But one day came that the frustration energy among the people that were thought to be most brutish and docile and muscular exploded in a sheer unpredictable and mechanical way, like what happened in Rwanda, probably following an episode of extreme scarcity : the river beds that had made these cities so prosperous were rapidly drying up as the Thar Desert was forming.
In America, where the elite no longer cares for any material progress, to the point of despising more and more scientists as losers, and cares only for mind control through culture or virtual reality to secure its position, where stupidity is more and more a plus on all vitae and on immigration forms, the same process may be building up leading to a Yellowstone-like social explosion with nothing planned thereafter than a continent of warring obscurantist tribes probably at the behest of contending foreign powers.
