""Harappan Script"" explores the enduring mystery of the Harappan writing system, a still-undeciphered script from the Indus Valley Civilization. Understanding this Bronze Age script is crucial, as its decipherment could unlock insights into the civilization's social structure and potential linguistic connections to later South Asian populations. The book delves into the script's characteristics, considering its visual aspects and frequency of certain symbols, while also evaluating past attempts to break the code. Intriguingly, the directionality of the script has been determined, and inscriptions have been found on various materials, offering clues to its purpose. The book presents a comprehensive overview in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the script and its physical attributes. It then moves into a critical assessment of past decipherment attempts, categorizing them to highlight their limitations. Finally, the book explores whether there are links between the Harappan script and later South Asian scripts, such as Brahmi, analyzing linguistic and archaeological evidence. Ultimately, ""Harappan Script"" emphasizes a rigorous, evidence-based approach to decipherment, encouraging disciplined research grounded in verifiable data, moving beyond speculative interpretations.

The book may rightly be described as the first-hand information to the world about the Indus Script finally cracked. Unlike the earlier publications on the Enigmatic Indus Script, the present book. For the first time, the logical methodology of Scientific Formal Theory as used by the age-old Geometry and later Theoretical Physics has been successfully adopted in the decipherment of the Indus Script. Computer-aided approach has all along been the order of the day. A software entitled Indus Script Analyzer developed by the author has been extensively used in the examination, analysis, and interpretation of the Indus inscriptions.An exclusive Indus Script Font developed as well by the author and called Sandira-Harappan.ttf has been used for typing Indus Signs. Names of well-known rural deities, city names, and names of professionals have been identified.A Glossary of Deciphered Indus Signs and a Glossary of Interpreted Indus texts are included in the book.

Of the writing systems of the ancient world which still await deciphering, the Indus script is the most important. It developed in the Indus or Harappan Civilization, which flourished c. 2500-1900 BC in and around modern Pakistan, collapsing before the earliest historical records of South Asia were composed. Nearly 4,000 samples of the writing survive, mainly on stamp seals and amulets, but no translations. Professor Parpola is the chief editor of the Corpus of Indus Seals and Inscriptions. His ideas about the script, the linguistic affinity of the Harappan language, and the nature of the Indus religion are informed by a remarkable command of Aryan, Dravidian, and Mesopotamian sources, archaeological materials, and linguistic methodology. His fascinating study confirms that the Indus script was logo-syllabic, and that the Indus language belonged to the Dravidian family.

Language of Indus seals was Sanskrit because most of the seals ended on jar sign or fish sign which depicts end of subject words as visargah and end of objects on fish sign as in dwitiya vibhakti. Seals are read from head to tail of the animal on the seal. Prominent city names found on Indus seals are Harapam (Harappa), Kathumaad (Kathmandu, Nepal), Unuaad (Una-Ropar in Himanchal Pradesh), Trisurrah (Trisur, Kerala) Surshenas (Mathura Uttar Pradesh), Ur (Ur, Iraq) and Yerag (Yerevan, Armenian Capital). Agricultural seals contain names sarshan(mustard), mashah (black gram),yavat (grains like barley), rashwan (Garlic) gavreem (turmeric), suran (yam), rasnagah (rubber tree), maarah (thorn apple), sukuvah (lotus) which were sown(Bapikh) by permission of ploughing (krishtemiomah) by king and they gave 1/3rd crop to king (sat-tray) then distributing among themselves (Sat-sheshan). This tax was waivered due to less crop production(unkarsh). Business of beauty parlour was present with three beautifications (trayah shringar) namely hair setting (rachanah), bodypainting and tattooing (patrana) and nail care with nail polish (nakheramae).

Since the discovery of the Indus Civilization, the meaning of the enigmatic Indus script remains hidden in its four hundred characters. While many would-be-decipherers have attempted to unravel its meaning with the aid of a presumed underlying language, none of these attempts has proven successful. In response, the approach taken in this work does not preclude an underlying language, but offers an alternate approach where the positional patterns of the Indus signs are investigated in an attempt to segment the character strings. Michael Korvink is a former instructor of International Studies at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and now works in the private sector.

"An Encyclopaedia of Indian Archaeology" is a significant reference work on archaeology in India. It is an authoritative work of permanent value in which the knowledge and expertise of Indian archaeologists from the Archaeological Survey of India, universities and other institutes have been pooled together under the editorship of the late A. Ghosh, former Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India. The "Encyclopaedia" has been planned in an ambitious manner; it is not merely an alphabetical listing of entries with sketchy information on topics. Volume 1, which deals with certain broad subjects relating to Indian Archaeology, is divided into twenty chapters, alphabetically arranged. Each chapter is further divided into sections and subsections containing independent and self-contained essays. For example, in the chapter on "Cultures," detailed information can be found on various cultures in India; the chapter on "Basis of dating" contains articles on archaeological dating, archaeomagnetic dating, 14C radio-carbon dating, numismatic dating, palaeographic and epigraphic dating, thermoluminescent dating, etc. For those interested in getting further information on the subjects and in looking into the original sources and references, each entry also carries an exhaustive bibliography. Volume II is the Gazetteer. It contains basic data and information on all the explored and excavated sites in India along with reference to published reports and/or notices on each.

Why and how is Indus script in Tamil? Starting from the author's ground breaking work "Read Indussian"(2012), more undeniable evidences have come up in support of the Tamil scripts of Indus valley civilization. Rosetta like seals which are the ultimate mode of proving an ancient language have been elucidated in this book with gratitude to I.Mahadevan and A.Parpola for the picture references from their Concordances, Texts and Tabulations of Indus scripts.
