This work is a continuum of Sarasvatī - River & Civilization (2020). A perspective is presented to explain how Ancient India became the richest nation on the globe as of 1 Common Era (pace Angus Maddison). The major focus is the contributions of Ancient Indian artisans and seafaring merchants (who called themselves Meluhha, mleccha) during the Tin-Bronze Revolution from ca. 5th millennium BCE. The continuum from Veda culture is demonstrated. A principal contribution made is in using Primary Sources from over 9000 Epigraphs of the Civilization, thanks to the successful decipherment of Indus Script.
