I don't think anyone here will be willing to discuss such things. I
won't, for one, just as I wouldn't discuss the geography of Atlantic
(though Plato's description of it is in Ancient Greek, i.e. an IE
language). They might allow you to discuss such fantastic chronologies
on lists devoted to Indian Culture, here they qualify both as crank
scholarship and as off-topic stuff.

You  are a linguist. How can you judge the dating aspect as crank when the dating is done by scientists of yesteryears?

If your social science contradicts the findings, then you have every right to discuss it, which is what I am asking in the first place.

 While you can make a demand or moderation to stop me from posting these since it may not be of interest to the group,  I may remind you that you (or the group) have no right to pass value judgments. period.
