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.


I'll look at the Google link but I read the actual printed book. Currently
my Internet access does not permit me to read online books nor eto make
extended downloads.
