Well that's a new one. Some Indians appear periodically on Cybalist pedalling/peddling their various hobby-horses, but none quite as incoherent as this gentleman. It must be quite easy to get a book published in India, from the look of his site.......... Sometime back in the 80s there was an article in Sci.American claiming to have deciphered the Indus script-- as a Dravidian language. The reasoning and evidence appeared to be sound, but one has heard little of it since. A more curious unrelated thing-- lately in every web site I visit, every sequence "-art-" is a link. It goes to a site offering rather ridiculous looking art, not quite of the hotel-motel school but not much better. Is anyone else afflicted with this, or is it another part of my computer woes??
