Robert Philip Goldman is a Catherine and William L. Magistretti Distinguished Professor of Sanskrit at the Department of South and Southeast Asian Studies, University of California[1] as of April 2024.

In 2016, he signed a letter[2] addressed to the State Board of Education, California Department of Education, dated May 17, 2016. The letter stated the following:

  1. "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."
  2. "It is inappropriate to remove mention of the connection of caste to Hinduism."
