Contact: 9741004269, sujayrao2012@gmail.com Qualification: MA Anthropology, M.Com, CA Inter, PGDBA, ISO 27001 LA, Six Sigma MBB, ITIL, CCNF

Sujay Rao Mandavilli is an ex-IT professional and a born-again Anthropologist and researcher with major contributions to various fields of Anthropology and Social Sciences. He completed his Masters in Anthropology from the prestigious Indira Gandhi National Open University in New Delhi, India in 2020 with a first class. He has made major contributions to Anthropological Economics, the Sociology of Science, theories of socio-cultural change, Identity theory, Historiography, language dynamics, IndoEuropean studies, the Aryan Problem, and the identity of the Harappans. His hypothesis is that most fields of Social sciences which are based on a study on social and cultural variables, are based on old Eurocentric paradigms, and that better theories can only come from intellectual multipolarity, and Ethnographic data collected from different parts of the world. He believes this will lead to better scientific research, and greatly boost scientific output in different parts of the world that have hitherto lagged behind the West in scientific research. He has also attempted to synthesize Anthropological theory with other fields of Social Sciences such as Economics and Pedagogy, generating several new paradigms as a result. He strongly believes that the ‘Globalization of Science’, with a particular emphasis on the social sciences, must become one of the major movements of the Twenty-first century. He is the Founder-Director of the Institute for the Study of the Globalization of Science (Registered as the Globalization of Science Trust) which is has already started empaneling a group of researchers and scientists to plan its next course of action. His research publications are as follows: Research Publications S.N Name of the paper Published in o Anthropological Economics 1 ELK Asia Introducing Anthropological Pacific Journal Economics: The quest for an of Social Anthropological basis for studies 2020 Economic theory, growth models and policy development for wealth and human welfare maximization Origin of language and language dynamics On the origin and spread of ELK 1 Asia languages: Propositioning Pacific Journal Twenty-first century axioms on the of Social evolution and spread of languages studies 2016 with concomitant views on language dynamics 2 ELK Asia Towards a comprehensive Pacific Journal compendium of factors impacting

Creates a completely new field of study called ‘Anthropological Economics’ by extending various concepts in Anthropological theory to the field of Economics. We believe this must become one of the pillars of Economic theory in the Twenty-first century

Presents a completely new perspective on the origin of language (i.e. ‘The epochal polygenesis approach’)

This paper clearly shows why the Indus script was a logo-syllabic script. This is a logical and a self-explanatory paper and is our first on the Indus script

the origin of Brahmi down to the last century using transparent approaches. Also note how this paper proves our solution for the ‘Aryan problem’: The dates for the introduction of Alphabetic scripts tally with the dates of our acculturation model down to the last century, validating both our model and our approaches to arrive at a date for the origin of Brahmi.

This paper shows why alternative approaches are not tenable – i.e, the Dravidian, Vedic or Paramunda Hypothesis. This paper reinforces our conclusions reached in earlier papers; very detailed century by century maps are provided in this paper as well.

This paper lays down the key objectives of modernizing Indology. These would form the drivers of Indology in the present century.
