Wikipedia's main page on India has a history section which states:-<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Stone Age rock shelters with paintings at Bhimbetka in the state of Madhya Pradesh are the earliest known traces of human life in India.<b> The first known permanent settlements appeared over 9,000 years ago and gradually developed into the Indus Valley Civilization, dating back to 3300 BCE in western India. It was followed by the Vedic Civilization which laid the foundations of Hinduism and other cultural aspects of early Indian society.</b> From around 550 BCE, many independent kingdoms and republics known as the Mahajanapadas were established across the country laying the foundations of ancient India.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->But in their section of Indus valley civilization they show the picture of Indus valley seals in which there is Swsatika.If foundations of Hinduism were laid by later Vedic civilization how come the earlier Indus valley ppl use Swastika.?Or is that the later Vedic civilization "adopted" the Swastika?
