I enjoy reading many of DavidFrawley'sphilosophical and spiritual
discussions of the Vedas. Hopefully, the historical aspect and
archaeological aspects of Vedic history will achieve greater
clarity as scientific methods are applied to the records of each
of those scientific disciplines. It is difficult to
cross-reference traditions to scientific data. When such things
occur in an objective manner is when IMO the greatest
advances occur in philosophy, historical understanding and
archaeological discoveries.

That being said, I'd love to see unbiased information, data,
theories, explorations and analyses on the India sub continent as
I believe it to be
one of the cradles of early civilization and scientific discovery.

In Search of the Cradle of Civilization: New Light on Ancient India
By Georg Feuerstein, Subhash Kak, David Frawley

http://books.google.com/books?id=evOZEWralVMC&dq=gupta+mehrgarh+d-fra...

"In this book, the authors show that the ancient Indians were no
primitives, but possessed a high culture, which influenced the
evolution of the western world."

I've read that book. It seemed to me that the authors were biased in
their presentation mainly it seemed because of all the biases that
Indian history has suffered at the hands of Western European and
American historians. I think their case would be better served in an
archaeological or historical venue to not lean as heavily on the
Vedas without additional objective supporting evidence. I seems to
me that they did make a good case for reconsidering what we think we
know about Indian history (now I wish I had the book ready to hand
to read again as it is now at home in my library about 1200 miles
from my present location).

Searles-

The link I gave is a Google Book with excerpts.

How can you recommend a book you did not read?
