Thomas R. Trautmann is a Professor Emeritus of History and Anthropology at the University of Michigan[1] as of April 2024. According to his university profile, his research interests include the history of ancient India; kinship and marriage in India; anthropology of kinship; history of anthropology; history of Orientalist scholarship in British India; history of racial thought in India and Europe; concepts of time; and environmental history of India.

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."
