This note lists out research publications by Sujay Rao Mandavilli in peer-reviewed

journals and a summary of innovations is given in red.

As would be obvious to readers, most of the approaches presented here are
vastly superior to existing approaches and the author is confident that these will
replace older paradigms eventually. All papers are targeted at mainstream
researchers and scholars from around the world, and these papers are highly
critical of ideologically-driven approaches. They are also presented using a
logical, figure-it-out-for-yourself approach.
The author will gladly provide clarifications or answer readers questions. The

Comments

This paper provides the

basic model (with proof)
which leads to the complete
solution to the Aryan
problem (Part Two) which
was published by the ICFAI
University press in Jan
2010. Read this if you want
to know why early second
millennium BC migrations
are untenable. The actual
date may have been 2750
BC- However the RV was
compiled around 1500 BC.
This paper provides the
detailed solution for the
Aryan
problem
and
methods to reconstruct the
languages of the IVC with
checks and balances. This
paper contains century by
century maps explaining
how Indian culture evolved.
Summary of innovations:
(a) Parts one and two of this
paper
provide
a
complete
and
comprehensive solution
to the vexed Aryan
problem. This is the
most complex solution
that has been proposed
to date.

This paper clearly shows

(a) Anyone who reads this

papers will conclude that
the Indus script was a
logo-syllabic
script.
However, these papers
introduce Logo-syllabic
thesis B as opposed to
Logo-syllabic thesis A.
This
paper
deals with
literacy in Post-Harappan
India and shows using a
multi-disciplinary approach
why literacy always existed
in isolated pockets in postHarappan India. This paper
is a must-read solely for the
strength of its conclusions
as it pinpoints the origin of
Brahmi down to the last
century using transparent
approaches. Also note how
this paper proves our
solution for the Aryan
problem: The dates for the
introduction of Alphabetic
scripts tally with the dates
of our acculturation model
down to the last century,

validating both our model

and our approaches to
arrive at a date for the
origin of Brahmi. This is one
of our most important
papers will date.

(a) This is a very, very

important
paper.
Readers are advised not
to
discount
the
importance of this paper.
This paper nails down
the origin of Brahmi
down to the very last
century
using
multidisciplinary approaches
and tallies it down to the
very last century with
our acculturation model.
Brahmis
origin
was
Semitic. This is a first as
this issue has baffled
Indologists for ages.
This paper shows why
alternative approaches are
not tenable i.e, the
Dravidian,
Vedic
or
Paramunda Hypothesis. This
paper
reinforces
our
conclusions
reached
in
earlier papers; very detailed
century by century maps
are provided in this paper
as well.
This is a supplement to our
paper on the Aryan problem
and would reinforce our
conclusions arrived at in
those papers.
This is not a core paper for
Indology
but
may
be
construed
as
a
supplementary paper. Read
it to know how alternative
approaches
to
Historiography can stand us
in good stead. It is expected
that Historiography and
Indology will be inseparably
intertwined, and Indology

can no longer be bogged

down or bedeviled by
obsolete
paradigms
in
Historiography.

This paper introduces a new

approach to Historiography.
This is not a core paper for
Indology
but
may
be
construed
as
a
supplementary paper.
This paper was presented to
document Indias linguistic
history and also formulate
principles that are useful in
our other papers. It also
presents
a
balanced
approach to many issues
that should put an end to
biased reconstructions of
history. This paper also
demonstrates

on
Historiography.
