Did someone attend to that distressed doggie? Lovely lecture otherwise. I appreciate that the Harrapan and Mohenjo Daro cultures are given their rightful due. I think it should be stressed for the reassurance of our Indian brothers and sisters that the civilizations of the Indus river vally were astounding. The Aryan invaders could only benefit from their contact with the Dravidian culture. Humanity is my people.
