  • The Iron Age in India differs from the rest of the world, where it followed the Copper-Bronze Age.

  • In India, the north (around the Vindhyas) saw the Chalcolithic or Copper Age, while the south was associated with iron from over 3,000 sites.

  • Traditionally, the Iron Age in India was thought to begin around the second millennium BCE.

  • Excavations in Sivagalai (2019-2022) suggest iron technology was present in the early 4th millennium BCE.

  • Earlier, the earliest evidence of iron in India was dated to around 1800 BCE, based on studies in Uttar Pradesh’s mid-Ganga Valley.

  • The findings were scientifically validated by institutions like Beta Analytic laboratory in the U.S.

  • The discovery could change how archaeologists approach the Iron Age in India, suggesting the need to focus on iron-specific sites rather than mixed copper-and-iron sites to improve research efficiency.

  • Tamil Nadu’s Department of Archaeology (TNSDA) aims to advance research in this area but has jurisdictional limits, indicating the need for collaboration with other southern states.

  • The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) should facilitate coordinated research across southern India to maximize resources and expertise for more accurate findings.

  • This work aims to provide concrete evidence against political misuse of history, ensuring that facts drive historical understanding rather than unfounded claims.
