The URLs are excerpted from the Academic Inaugural Lecture I
delivered at the World Association of Vedic Studiec Intl.
Conference, held at UMass, Dartmouth on 12 July 2002. I owe a debt
of gratitude to the late MS Vats, Prof. A. Sundara, Prof. JM
Kenoyer, Prof. BB Lal and Michel Danino for some of the thoughts
related to continuity of tradition mentioned in this 11-page
illustrated monograph.
It was a privilege indeed to present a perspective on Sarasvati
Civilization, based on scientific investigations and the possibility
of cracking the code to unravel the epigraphs as property
possessions (furnaces, tools, ores/metals) and lapidary functions.

Title: Archaeology and Tradition in Bha_rata: cracking the code of
Mlecchita Vikalpa, cypher writing
Bha_rati_ya tradition exemplifed by archaeology, is an astonishing
continuity of tradition dating as far back as 6500 BCE, as
authenticated by artefacts, texts and the day-to-day lives of the
people from paleo-lithic to historical periods of Bha_rati_ya
Civilization, a cultural time-horizon of over 8,500 years based on
the cumulative discoveries over the last 80 years.
