Hi Shobha,
Good to reconnect. I haven't visited places north of Bangalore in
Karnataka, but Chitradurga seems to have a lot historic sites. I'd
guess Kadamba inscriptions would be in halegannada script, but not
sure.

Not personally, but I'm familiar with a lot of Iravatham Mahadevan's
work on Tamil Brahmi and theories on Indus script.

BTW, didn't realise you were friends with Ranvir Shah. I worked for
him right after fashion school, and I'm sure he still remembers me.
I'd appreciate a reconnect with him.
