Delhi Iron Pilar and its relation to the Harappan Civilization measurement units, which proves the continuity of engineering tradition from the Harappan to the Ganga civlization: Papers by Prof. R. Balasubramanian (2008)
Dholavira
geometry (2007) – Michel Danino Full mathematical demonstration of the value of Dholavira's master unit, and some
of the implications Dholavira metrology
(2008) – Michel Danino It deals with special ratios and precise units of length used in
the planning of Dholavira and reflected in other structures elsewhere in the
Harappan civilization. It also establishes a link with historical systems of
units of length such as that described in the Arthashastra.
Harappan
heritage and the Aryan problem (2003) – Michel Danino Because of the Aryan invasion theory, the Harappan civilization
was i9nitially assumed to have had no direct relation with later historical India. Yet
archaeological evidence has increasingly shown its numerous connections with
the subcontinent’s later developments in the fields of science and technology,
agriculture, town-planning, art and craft, religion and culture. The last two
are of special importance not only in refuting the unscientific Aryan invasion
theory, but also in understanding the overall continuity of Indian
civilization. The Harappan heritage is a cultural continuum and not a cultural
hiatus.
