I'm especially interested about the Greek kingdoms in India as well as military history.
>>17088403i'm not the Pajeet anon who keeps shilling this book on this board (i'm the one who introduced him to De Riencourt) but picrel really is a fun, engaging read. it's pretty much a Spenglerian analysis of India, its metaphysics, worldview and cultural/civilizational evolution from someone who clearly loves the country, as well as a political commentary on events in India at the time.there are two editions, one written in the 1950s and an expanded edition written in the 1980s

Any good books on IVC while we're on the topic? Preferably uncharged by any indianism
>>17090512Yeah, Hindutva seems to influence the research. Its pretty fucking obvious that the IVC was a dravidian civilization, linguistically and gentically.
>>17091563True, but they didn't seem anything like what people associate Dravidians with today. The Dravidian languages were most probably brought by Neolithic Zagrosian migrations entering via the west, who also brought farming– with the Indus changing its course and the migration of the Steppe Aryans, many of these original Dravidian speakers of the IVC were pushed east and south, mixing with the jungle negroid population creating modern South Indians, and some pushed west, creating the remnant Brahuis.
>>17091563"Genetically" the original Dravidians resembled the man on then far-right, who mixed with Steppe_MLBA and to a lesser extent AASI to create modern the northwestern ethnicities of South Asia, while the people who we associate as 'Dravidians' today most closely resemble the two men on the left.
>>17091776Brahuis and Baloch are pretty connected and live in the same region. The average Baloch isn't really that light skin and I don't think Brahui are either. Most Brahuis have been assimilating into the Baloch population over the ages.
>>17091804Who said anything about light skin?
>>17091813You did when you said "negroid", my Jewish friend.
