We present the text of a large wooden signboard in the IndusSarasvat̄ı that was recently found in Dholavira in Gujarat, India. The study of this signboard could be useful in the further analysis of the Indus-Sarasvat̄ı script. We examine its implications for the direction of writing in this script.
The concept of Indo-Aryan group of peoples and their invasion has played a prominent role in explaining thecultural history of the Indian sub-continent. It was propounded that the Aryans, living somewhere outside India,invaded the Indian sub-continent around 1500 B.C. and after supplanting the indigenous powers and culturessettled in India. The Aryans were held responsible for the destruction o...
The Indus basin heavily depends on its upstream mountainous part for the downstream supply of water while downstream demands are high. Since downstream demands will likely continue to increase, accurate hydrological projections for the future supply are important. We use an ensemble of statistically downscaled CMIP5 General Circulation Model outputs for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 to force a cryospheric-...
Habitat fragmentation of freshwater ecosystems is increasing rapidly, however the understanding of extinction debt and species decline in riverine habitat fragments lags behind that in other ecosystems. The mighty rivers that drain the Himalaya - the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Indus, Mekong and Yangtze - are amongst the world's most biodiverse freshwater ecosystems. Many hundreds of dams have been co...
In 1962, the historian A. B. L. Awasthi wrote, “the Turkish conquest of India began with the Arab conquest of Sind.” The sentiment expresses a common teleology according to which Muslims, irregardless of their ethnicity, linguistic identities, or specific sectarian affiliations, acted in concert across more than five centuries to affect a “slow progress of Islamic power” in South Asia as D. R. ...
Gonads of brahminy myna (Sturnus pagodarum) spontaneously regress in July/August when the daylength is still stimulatory. Experiments were conducted to investigate if photoperiod was involved in the timing of gonadal regression and if photorefractoriness terminated the breeding season in this species. The observations obtained in the present study clearly show that: i) increasing photoperiods o...
Animal domestication was a major step forward in human prehistory, contributing to the emergence of more complex societies. At the time of the Neolithic transition, zebu cattle (Bos indicus) were probably the most abundant and important domestic livestock species in Southern Asia. Although archaeological evidence points toward the domestication of zebu cattle within the Indian subcontinent, the...
Tina sore is known by different names in the Punjab and beyond the Indus, e.g., Delhi boil, Lahore sore, Multani sore ; in the Peshawar side of the frontier as Frontier sore, and in Sindh and Baluchistan as a Sindh sore. In the CYs-Indus Punjab, it is a well recognised and not uncommon sore, but its greatest prevalence is beyond the Indus. In Sindh and in Baluchistan it is exceedingly common. D...
Ancient civilisations depended heavily on natural fuel resources for a wide array of activities, and this had an impact on such resources that can be traced in the archaeological record. At its urban apex, the populations of the Indus Civilisation (2600-1900 BC) produced a wide range of objects and crafts, several of which involved highly specialised pyrotechnology. In the wake of increasing ar...
