[INDOLOGY] INDUS CIVILISATION.

[Asko Parpola]

In my book "The Roots of Hinduism: The Early Aryans and the Indus

New York: Oxford University Press, 2015,
I present manifold evidence for the Dravidian affinity of the Harappan
language.

With best regards,

Asko Parpola
Professor Emeritus of Indology,
University of Helsinki, Finland
