Indus Script Deciphered! What It Means for Hinduism, Sanskrit and Bharat | Yajnadevam on ACP 91

Yajnadevam (Bharath Rao) discusses his groundbreaking work on deciphering the Indus script (AKA Harappan script or Sarasvati-Sindhu script), which is central to the debate surrounding the origins of Hinduism and Sanskrit. Bharath Rao, who has a background in engineering and cryptography, explains how he approached the problem by modeling the script as a cryptogram, utilizing information theory to validate his findings. Throughout the conversation, he challenges established narratives, particularly the Aryan Invasion Theory, asserting that Sanskrit and Hinduism are indigenous to India and date back thousands of years. The episode covers the methodology used in decipherment, including pattern recognition and regular expressions, as well as the implications of the findings for understanding ancient Indian civilization. Yajnadevam emphasizes the continuity of culture from the Harappan period through to later Indian history, arguing that contemporary Hinduism can be traced back to these ancient roots.
