Post Harappa

[Indo-Aryan]

Has anyone watched Niraj Rais latest interview?

He has made an interesting comment.

Sanauli people were 85% Harappan and up to 15% Gangetic ancestry (haven't revealed what he meant). Much of the area East and South of Sanauli was in Neolithic tribal state with small isolated populations.

One who has read history wouldn't be surprised but for some it will indeed be a shocking assessment.
