Upon netsurfing, I found an interesting website of
NRIs. It is at www.indiastar.com. It has
nice poems (eg., on Nataraja of Chidambaram by
a girl born in US), articles (An Indian engineer/scientist's
life in USA by Kollengode Venkataraman, Indian Roads by
Palaniswami of Hinduism Today, ..)
It hosts glorious reviews of books by S. C. Kak (faculty
in electrical engg., at Louisiana state university),
David Frawley, etc., of Indigenous Aryan school.
What is interesting is the Bookforum where issues on
Ancient India are discussed by indigenous Aryan schoolers.
Samplers of recent postings by Sri. Subrahmanya who
writes in Indology on his views of linguistics, apparent
non-distictions between kannada/telugu and sanskrit
and Dr. S. C. Kak are given below.
It will be interesting to see the archives for 1997 and 1996.
Only 1998 is there at www.indiastar.com bookforum.

The seated yogic figure with animals on the Gundestrup
cauldron so very closely resembles the seal from the
Indus-Sarasavati region which is identified to be
Pashupati
a so called Dravidian god!!!!.
It is really fascinating that how much Celtic imagery
resembles Indus-Sarasvati seals.

Just wished to bring to your attention that exciting new
findings have been made regarding ancient Indian rock art.
These prehistoric paintings and drawings go back to 40000
BP (before present). There are aspects in these sketches
which show up later in the Harappan seal art.
For those who would like to get acquainted with the
literature, see ROCK ART IN THE OLD WORLD, edited by
Michel Lorblanchet (1992).
It appears that even our views regarding the formation of
the Indus-Sarasvati civilization may be in for a major
change!
