A valuable addition to the field, presenting new research and interpretations. I would have liked more discussion on the social context.

The chapters are too specialized for me, but the information is solid. Not really for the average history buff.

Osada has compiled a great collection, although at times it feels disjointed. Janhunen’s work stands out! I like the diverse analysis.

Osada’s edited volume offers fresh perspectives on the Indus Civilization. Parpola’s contribution is insightful, but the Gujarat section felt disconnected. Good, but uneven.
