Vishal and friends,

I am personally NOT surprised to find some renegement by some esteemed scholars.
I expected it.
BUT my information is based on the letter written to Dr Rajput of NCERT and also
correspondence with Prof Shiva G Bajpai, whom I have also written about.

I was given to understand by experts at this end that Dr Steve Farmer and Dr
Brian Hemphill worked on skeletal remains, and this may well need a correction,
but I dont think that it would be correct of Farmer to claim what he says about
rolling eyes, when Kaminsky and others are contacting educationists all over the
world. And why did the western researchers groan and roll their eyes when Sar
Desai said at the end of the conference that the name of the Indus Valley
civilization from here on was to be "Saraswati-Sindhu Civilization" or whatever.
What is "whatever" by the way? Farmer should have protested and said no - why
let it pass. Prof B B Lal did not think that no consensus has been arrrived at
- and he was there.
