Did you even watch the video before replying, that's a high quality TED talk instead of the lesser TEDx, presented by a reknowned and reputable professor in the field?

Do you know that interview, podcast, lecture, etc, with an expert reserchers in the field is a valid research evidents and citations?

Here are some of the Rajesh Rao publications on the topic if you even bother to check [1],[2],[3].

Apparently it's just a few minutes to find his papers but you seems to not interested in finding the truth. If you don't believe the results at least respect the scholarly efforts involved. Or find a refute to the facts presented or better yet do your own research to refute them. Failure to do any of the above is just a strawman with in denial attitude.

Did you even look at any of the papers (published in scholarly journals, not in TED talks), which argue against the idea that the Indus script is a written language?
