A valuable addition to the field, presenting new research and interpretations. I would have liked more discussion on the social context.
Saurabh Singh –
The chapters are too specialized for me, but the information is solid. Not really for the average history buff.
Vidhi Gupta –
Osada has compiled a great collection, although at times it feels disjointed. Janhunen’s work stands out! I like the diverse analysis.
Khushi Sharma –
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.

A deep dive into the Indus script and its possible connections. Some chapters were dense and difficult to follow without prior knowledge.

While informative, the book could benefit from more illustrations. Visual aids would have greatly enhanced the discussion of animal motifs.

A fascinating collection of essays, though some were a bit too academic for my taste. The animal motifs were particularly interesting. Overall, a worthwhile read.

The book sheds light on lesser-known aspects of the Indus Valley Civilization. I found the section on the Gujarat region particularly interesting.

An excellent resource for researchers, but perhaps not the most accessible for casual readers. The detail is impressive, though.
