EARLY PEOPLE

A majority of anthropologists are claimed that those who settled in Kohsar in early ages are called NAGA PEOPLE who worshiped snakes. They belonged to China and occupied this area before arrival of Drawidans and Aryans. This primitive’s era started in between 10,000 to 7,000 BCE. They lived in caves, eating wild fruits and danced on both banks of Vatesta (Jhelum) River. In 7,000 BCE, a volcano erupted from the peak of Moshpuri Mountain and they vanished from earth.

Aryans moved to eastward and Karhal as well as Kethwal ruled this area since 1400 AD. (To be continued)
