Episode 3 : The World of IVC Final

Episode 3 of The History of the Indian Sub-continent series takes us to the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC). Our panel journeys from the banks of the Oxus River to the Deccan plateau. We connect the genetic and archaeological dots, speculate about people whose scripts we are yet to decipher, talk about what they did for a living, their towns, and what are the missing blocks in our understanding of that age. The Dancing girl from Harappa makes an appearance as do textiles and we ask if the great bath of Mohenjo Daro was really the great bath or was it something else.
Joining Maneesh Taneja in this conversation are Razib Khan, Gaurav Lele, Mukunda Raghvan, and Shrikantha Krishnamacharya.
We look forward to your comments and feedback.

Interesting discussion

Interesting podcast , full of interesting speculations though but can't blame anyone coz we're dealing with a mute civilization. Amazing insights from Dr. Razib regarding an invasive/violent entry scenario of steppe pastoralists

Do we know that AASI itself was a homogenous genetic group? there could have been many different tribes, with different genes and languages throughout the subcontinent.
