She has published no books, papers, or research pertaining to Hindus, the Indus Civilization, or caste.

In this letter they requested removing the word India from textbooks. In addition, they falsely[4] stated:
- "There is no established connection between Hinduism and the Indus Civilization."
- "It is inappropriate to remove mention of the connection of caste to Hinduism."
