"Vigyan Pragati" features article on Punkri Burwdih Megaliths by Abhishek Mishra

Noted sci fi author Abhishek Mishra and I stand in front of a menhir in Punkri Burwadih.

Vigyan Pragati, the leading Hindi science magazine of India features the noted science fiction writer Abhishek Mishra's write up on Punkri Burwadih megaliths.

He visited the site many a times along with me to get a grasp of the prehistoric monument and was soon fascinated by the skill of the ancient megalithic folks on astronomy and mathematics at a time when they were not supposed to be cognizant of.

3000 year old megaliths have been discovered in a college campus of Khammam of A.P. College authorities have planned to protect them. Great Job. Hope there were more like them.

Each passing day numerous ancient megaliths get destroyed in India and we have no record of this disaster. It is sad that no government agencies like the ASI, the State Archaeological Depts and the District Administrations demonstrate any interest in their protection perhaps for their tribal origin and also possibly because megaliths to them do not appear to be significant relics of our land.

In actuality prehistoric megaliths are a significant source of our ancient history and their preservation is imperative as these monuments are evidences that India was indeed a land of the tribals in hoary times. A few of them however suggests that astronomy and geometry was known to the megalithic tribals millennias prior to the emergence of the Brahmanical astronomer/mathematicians. Obliteration of prehistoric megaliths is bound to erase this verity.
