"Thirdly, dates as early as 4 000 B.C. have been
claimed for the presence of durra in India, implicating an
intercontinental movement of domesticated sorghum from Africa."

"Dorian Fuller's recent re-analysis of claims for domesticated cereals in
India, confirmed the presence of pearly millet, sorghum and two legumes
(cowpeas and hyacinth beans) by the mid-second millennium BC. Finger
millet is present from around 1000 BC."

There is no trail of millet arriving into South Asia from East Asia.
In any case the dates are too early to match with the supposed arrival
of "IE" speakers.
