Book Explores Keeladi Excavation and India's Origins Debate

Book Explores Keeladi Excavation and India's Origins Debate

A new book called 'The Dig' is coming out on December 23.

It's written by Sowmiya Ashok and talks about the Keeladi excavation site in Tamil Nadu.

This site was found in 2014 and has been very important because some people think it shows there was a big, old city in South India.

But other people disagree and think it's not as important.

The book also talks about other old sites in India, like Rakhigarhi in Haryana and Muziris in Kerala.

The author wants to show how people argue about India's history and how these arguments are important for understanding the country's past.

The book is published by Hachette India and is meant to be an easy and fun read.
