V.N. Misra: ‘Late Harappan sites are concentrated on the tributaries of the [Sarasvatī] river, originating in the Siwalik Hills. They appear to be a consequence of the desiccation of the river and mass migration of the population to less dry regions near the Siwalik Hills and across the Yamuna.’

Additional quotes by V. N. Misra

The description of the location, size and desiccation of the Sarasvatī River in the Vedic, epic and classical literature perfectly matches the features and history of the Ghaggar-Hakra River. Therefore it can be stated with certainty that the present Ghaggar-Hakra is nothing but a remnant of the Rgvedic Sarasvatī which was the lifeline of the Indus Civilization.
