Indus Valley Language in News

Khabrein.info

The language of Indus Valley is still an unsolved mystery. The scholars are at it for long time. Therefore it remains in news.

The Times of India Report has some more details which can be accessed at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Health--Science/Indus-civilization-was-literate/articleshow/4441822.cms

However, I will like to make a observation that the attempt to decipher should take help from all the possible scientific means but the history should not be made a news by joining it with some computer programme etc. History has its own logic and knowledge pattern. It may give an algorithm on which computer programmes can be improved. But mere an identification that some pattern is similar to some coding should not make the world excited about history.
