On the fourth anniversary of Harappa.com=92s launch, it is a pleasure to
announce that the site now receives over 2 million hits a month.

To celebrate, we have opened a large new section, the complete album of
a British officer in north India, at
http://www.harappa.com/hawkshaw.html.  It includes numerous early
photographs by John Sache and Samuel Bourne.

The Hawskshaw Album is the first of a set of steps planned for the
coming year that will make the pages behind
http://www.harappa.com/photo3/index.html the leading source of
information on 19th century photography in South Asia. Another step,
planned for early next year, is an illustrated essay by Brij Bhushan
Sharma, India=92s foremost historian in the field.

The December flashback presents a puzzling photograph for cultural
decoders: http://www.harappa.com/flashback.html.

The final Mystery Postcard of the Millenium is up at
http://www.harappa.com/mpc/1299.html.

Also in the works: Mahadevan takes on the so-called Indus arrow sign . .
. Fisherfolk on the Indus . . . the latest finds by a German team in
Baluchistan.

Cheers,

Omar Khan
