Not to the best of my knowledge. He's being given the cold shoulder by academia in the west & here for his findings are against established orthodoxy . Hence my earlier post appealing to the thekedars of Sanatan Dharma i e the powers that be in the Sangh & the BJP to help him

has he indicated that he is willing to do it full time setting aside his current professional commitments?

I don't think so. Besides now that the code has been established all people interested in deciphering those seals need to do is apply his code. His role has pretty much ended.

to my understanding that's not how it works, the onus is on the author to make an effort to convince others that his/her idea is a valid idea. otherwise what was the need for sai deepak to go around the country and outside giving so many lectures on his worldview even though it is not his profession, he could have just printed his books and left it there.

results will be in line with the efforts made.

Tbh , I think you're making wrong comparisons & drawing the wrong conclusions. JSD is an archetypical activist by nature & a lawyer by profession . He's an author only by choice . His principle aim has been to propagate his pet causes for which the book merely becomes a vehicle. Arguably he could have written his thesis for a PhD or had it peer reviewed before publishing it in a book format as many have done so before him

I'd go so far as to argue he'd be an activist even without authoring a book except that by doing so he's now articulated a bunch of thoughts & compiled a history apart from a manifesto on what should society or at the very least people sharing his concerns ought to be doing.

Yajnadevam is an IT professional specialising in cryptography who's merely indulging in a hobby. Whatever time he can devote to this cherished hobby he's dedicating with an aim to popularise his work within set limitations which is thru SM where those limitations begin & end.

If I'm not mistaken he's tweeted on quite a few occasions in the past on how his work was refused publishing by many prestigious journals devoted to archaeo history without peer review which he couldn't persuade the powers that be to do so.

When you work with such limitations success is limited which is the reason this interview has come as a break where hopefully concerned people will notice & do the needful. I believe he said in that particular interview , he'd be in Delhi in December for an extended tour & interviews with the media . Hopefully something good should come out of it. Fingers crossed.
