అది కాపీ కాదు.. తమన్ పై వస్తున్న ఆరోపణలకు క్లారిటీ..!! ఇటీవలే కాలంలో తమన్ మంచి సంగీతం అందిస్తుండగా ఆయనపై వి సినిమా పై కొన్ని కాపీ ఆరోపణలు ఇటీవలే రావడంతో దీనిపై ఇటీవలే ఈ చిత్ర దర్శకుడు ఇంద్రగంటి మోహన కృష్ణ మాట్లాడారు.

It is surprising that people hardly realize the extent of the Harappan civilization. It was more than a million square kilometers in area, much larger than modern Pakistan, much larger than all the other ancient civilizations, excepting China of course, put together. The Sumerian, the Akkadian, the Egyptian, Hittite and so on. Over such a large and fairly populous area, judging from the number of villages and cities. Several estimates of the population of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro have been made and they seem to have been very large cities by ancient standards. This only goes to confirm our supposition that you must look for a local language as a candidate for the Harappan script.

Raiding tombs and burial places held much fascination for the European conquerors. Jagor, though not a conqueror, shipped to Germany some 50 urns along with the skeletal fragments in the urns as well as the artefacts. In Madras, as Chennai was known then, there was a cry against this ‘Hunnish raider’ from Germany. More than 150 years later, these artefacts remain uncatalogued at the Berlin Ethnographic Museum and that task needs to be taken up by the Indian government. Catalog of the Prehistoric Antiquities from Adichanallur and Perambair". It is surprising to note that although the catalog consisted of huge amounts of bronze, iron, gold and earthen artifacts combined, the present day excavations yielded mainly earthen wares only.
