The OP’s theory is hogwash. The writer has no academic and historical facts to back his theory. Indus valley civilization was not a Vedic hindu civilization. It was indeed a precursor to the dharmic religions that developed later. There were many elements in the Indus valley that can be seen in the Hindu/Jain/Buddhist culture/Religion. The author is trying to manipulate history to legitimize his religious belief. Take for example monotheism. The Op claims that IVC was monotheistic just cos no temples were discovered. Wah ! What logical conclusion. People of IVC were most probably nature worshippers and also probably worshipped different deities. Monism or monotheism was first historically recorded in the Indo-European religions in the Iron age with Zoroaster. This is definitely after the bronze age IVC. There were similar monotheistic trends in Vedic India in the Iron age. As for the people of IVC, after the gradual degradation of their civilization which happens to every civilization, they migrated in different directions especially south and east. There were also migrations from outside the subcontinent which caused a gradual mixing of people, Elements of new cultural practices were also adopted. Happens every where. Importanace - Horse remains foundSurkotada site contains horse remains dated to ca. 2000 BCE, which is considered a significant observation with respect to Indus Valley Civilisation. Sander BÕkÕnyi (1997), on examining the bone samples found at Surkotada, opined that at least six samples probably belonged to true horse. During 1974, Archeological Survey of India undertook excavation in this site and J.P.Joshi and A.K.Sharma reported findings of horse bones at all levels (cicra 2100-1700 BCE)
The residential area consists of houses which are the smaller than the citadel houses. A typical example is a house with five interconnected rooms, a courtyard closed on three sides and a platform outside facing the street. The platform would have been used for transactions and as a shop. The southern fortification wall of the residential area also has an entrance which has received a different treatment by its builders. It differs from other Harappan gates in the sense that it is a straight entrance and not a staggered or bent one. The gate itself is set in the thickness of the fortification wall while there are two guard rooms projecting out. The fortification wall of the residential complex has an average thickness of 3.4 m (11 ft) and has bastions at the corners which are smaller than the ones on the citadel fortification wall.
All these features show mature Harappan traits even up to 1700 BC which chronologically is quite remarkable. Mature Harappan principles were being followed in Surkotada long after the civilization itself had started declining and most other sites had decayed or died out.
Surkotada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Anyways, the writer and OP can shout out their theories from the rooftops, it will not become true without historical proof .

many historians in Sindh believe that people of Moen jo Daro were nature worshipers (water). That is why each house in Moen jo Daro has a well. water worship is present in Sindhi Hindus todate, even Muslim Sindhis have a special attachment to the river Indus that might goes back to that era.

The question is what was the religion of people in Ganges valley before vedic period?
