ABSTRACT
Writing in India has a long history and can be traced back to the Vedic and Harappan civilizations (2600 BC-1900 BC). The Brahmi script used in ancient Harappan texts of the period is “systematic” and appears to follow grammatical rules (Kak, 1994, p. 375). An early sample of Indian technical communication can be found in the Rig Veda (third millennium BC), a religious text that includes chapters on intricate astronomical code, grammar, and writing (Kak, 1994, p. 386).
