The Indus script A positional-statistical approach]]> Thu, 06 May 2010 15:53:15 +0530 document.write("Sujay Rao Mandavilli"); ]]> http://dilipkumar.in/articles/indus/indus-script-may-reveal-it-s-secrets.html#comment4 Mohendodaro (100 square metres) has yielded 2100 seals (with 9000 characters?). Or more than one character per person. I declare the Indus the most literate civilization on earth as every body could ‘read and write’ – Farmer.
This makes the debate so shallow it is nearly ridiculous. After all what then is the difference beteween the Indus and civilizations which did not yield any trace of writing? History is a subject after all and is taught everywhere in the world. Don’t mislead people deliberately and try to deceive them! We hate those who misrepresent history.
please find the article below. My comment is at the end.

And he and I could be saying the same thing. I say such terms must be avoided. if they had learned how to use the rebus principle , they would have used it whenever the need arose. Seal writing is always short . Sproat's smoking gun cannot be used to test the stability or the complexity of the system. It has weaknesses. It cannot also be used to prove that the Indus script didn't have a linguistic component.

Making fun of ancient people is absolutely disgraceful.It is in poor taste~!!!!

I hope more Indians take up research. people are taking us for a ride.

This is one of the longest research papers published in a peer-reviewed journal since independance.
Part 2 is particularly important

SUJAY RAO MANDAVILLI]]> Fri, 26 Mar 2010 11:46:55 +0530 document.write("jeyakumar ramasami"); ]]> http://dilipkumar.in/articles/indus/indus-script-may-reveal-it-s-secrets.html#comment1 I read your article on Indus script, quite brief and up to the point. Recently i have come out with a theory that Indus sites are Necropolis and not metropolis as popularly imagined so far. I have also come out with a "Key to Indus code". All Indus symbols are appearing in the symbols mentioned in "Jyotisha Vedanga". This is the first time ever the actual evidence has been cited to Indus symbols. See the details in my web site and give your valuable opinion-----
