the Indus civilisation and developed some sort of a script as we see on their seals, but there is no evidence of a literature development by these people. On the other hand, script was a much later development with the Aryans while their literature flowered at a very early stage. 

The Vedas from which this civilisation takes its name are the earliest literary compositions of all humanity. These are essentially four: the Rig Veda, the Samaveda, Yajurveda, and the Atharvaveda. 

The Rig Veda is not only the oldest but also the most important source for portraying the life and the struggle of the people of the time. It is basically a collection of hymns addressed to various objects of worship – the sun, moon, fire, wind, rain, the dawn and other deities either seeking their help or praising them, these hymns (suktas) 1028 in number (1017 according to some scholars) are grouped into ten books (mandalas) of unequal size.
