The Indus script is finally deciphered — and Sanskrit is the base language. The implications are civilisational.

Dr. Brishti Guha, JNU Professor of Economics, breaks down researcher Yajnadevam’s breakthrough decipherment, which directly challenges the Aryan Invasion/Migration theory. She explains why the Indus script resisted scholars for a century while Egyptian hieroglyphics yielded within decades, and walks through the Pashupati seal, Vedic fire altar geometry, and specific inscribed artefacts confirming connection to Vedic tradition. Her article on the subject was retweeted by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman — making this a landmark archaeological finding that has finally entered mainstream Indian discourse.
