Published Works

Indus Script Deciphered (1982) published by AGAM KALA PRAKASHAN, Delhi, India.

In this book, Rao noted similarities between Sumerian pre-cuneiform writing, and Indus script, and proposed that Indus script encoded Sanskrit and a number of other languages. Rao theorized that Indus script consisted of ideograms and syllable signs, rather than being a pure syllabary like Brahmi script.
