Beware, List: all these Wikipedia articles connected with the so-
called Aryan Migration Theory versus Out-of-India Theory debate are
invariably composed anew and/or incessantly edited by Kelkar (under
a fake ID) and his ilk. I'm sure of that! (We are monitoring them
indeed...).
As a matter of fact, it is the other way round: it is the BMAC art
tradition which influenced the later phases of the Mature Harappan
civ., as well as some of the so-called Post-Harappan cultures. The
aged Indian archaeologist quoted by the above Wikipedia article has
by degrees become totally compromised with the Indo-Aryan indigenist
point of view and sees Vedic Aryans everywhere in the Harappan and
Post-Harappan archaeological record. He here speaks of "Harappan
migrations westwards": which ones? How be suggesting that
those "migrating Harappans" were actually... the Vedic Aryans, as
Kelky would like them to be!).
