An international conference on the Sindhu-Saraswati Valley Civilization will be held in Los Angeles, at the Hilton Center of Loyola Marymount University on Feb. 21 and 22, 2009. The aim of the conference is to discuss, reconsider and reconstruct a shared identity of the Sindhu (Indus) and Saraswati cultures, using archaeological and other scientific evidence as well as Vedic literature. For two days eminent archaeologists, linguists, anthropologists, historians, religious studies specialists and geneticists will present and discuss their findings on the salient issues of the Sindhu-Saraswati civilization and assess its contribution to Indian culture.

The conference hopes to inform the general educated public about the contribution of these early South Asian cultures to world civilization, and about the issues and problems of interpretation related to them.  Learn more at www.nalandainternational.org.
