Talk:Jael Silliman
Jael Silliman was a tenured associate professor of Women Studies at the University of Iowa from 1996 to 2002, where she worked on issues of race, reproductive rights and health, and gender and the environment in the United States and South Asia[1] as of April 2024.
She has published no books, papers, or research pertaining to Hindus, the Indus Civilization, or caste.
In 2016, she signed a letter[2] addressed to the State Board of Education, California Department of Education, dated May 17, 2016. The letter stated the following:
- "There is no established connection between Hinduism and the Indus Civilization. The Rg Veda contains numerous mentions of horses and chariots but there is no conclusive material or fossil evidence for either at any Indus valley archeological site."
- "It is inappropriate to remove mention of the connection of caste to Hinduism."
