M.V.N. Krishna Rao

M.V.N. Krishna Rao examines the Indus script through a comparative study of ideograms and syllable signs, proposing that the script encoded Sanskrit and related languages. He holds a postgraduate diploma in archaeology from the Archaeological Survey of India's School of Archaeology and joined the Archaeological Survey in 1956, engaging primarily in field archaeology. His work Indus Script Deciphered, published by Agam Kala Prakashan, notes structural parallels with Sumerian pre-cuneiform writing.
