What is the meaning of MOHEN JO DARO ???
BY:Dr.Dur Muhammad Pathan
************************
Mohen-Jo-Daro, since its excavation, though proved Sindhis as pioneer of Human Civilization, but also has been target of very serious problems. Still pending and outstanding problem is the name of the Site. Official name given to site is: 'Moen -Jo-Daro'. Means 'The Site of Dead people'. But. It is amazing that only a few dead bodies were found from the site! Its name is 'MOHEN JO DARO. It is neither connected with MOHAN or Hindu Myth or history(and also spelling of word give by Excavators is 'Mohen' and not
'Mohan'), nor have any connection with DEAD BODIES. In Sindhi 'MOHEN' means 'Infront of'. As the site was situated infront of other villages, therefore it was named as 'Mohen jo daro. 'Mohen' means 'of fishermen'. This also supports my theory. As the site is situated on the bank of river, and banks of river are settlement of Mohanas (Fisher-men), therefore site was named as Mohen Jo Daro. If this Site, as per official logic is Moen jo daro, than What about Jukar jo Daro, Kahoa jo Daro etc? Should we say Moen jo Daro No2 and No 3 and so on?
Let us see what EVENT has been selected for friends. 25th of Sept. 1935 was very exciting day for every body. Sir Daniel Hamilton, who purchased wheat seed of Mohen Jo Daro, did experiment to sow it in Bengal & Bihar. On this date his efforts brought best results, when he saw grown wheat in the fields.
