Yes, there are many theories on the length of Yugas and consequently the time when one ends and other begins.My father introduced me to him. A great book and a great man.
Interestingly as per his Guru Sri Yukteshwar Giri, Dwapar Yuga started on 1699 Baisakhi the same day Khalsa order was born. I think I had a discussion on this with @Virendra
My relative, also a Sikh is a member of SRF too.

But the cyclic nature of Yugas is accepted by most camps/theories and ancient civilizations.
There is broad agreement that either :
a) we're nearing the end of Kali Yuga in few decades from now
or
b) we have already left it, having recently come into Dwapar Yuga few centuries back (around 1700 A.D. as you say).
This difference again as I said, is because some people interpret Yugas as equal duration (i.e. we're still in KY) while others say 4:3:2:1 ratio for Satya, Treta, Dwapar and Kali yugas (i.e. we've passed into DY).
The advocates of unequal durations are invoking astronomical arguments based on elliptical-overlapping orbits of our Sun and the Sirius B.
If one wants to dive deep into it, there's a lengthy youtube video to watch- v=put hlfYHAV1i8w
It has a lot of things, but you can leave rest and concern only on the Sun-Sirius and gallactic realignment related astronomical arguments.
I have a smaller video with only the relavant info, will try to post it later, don't have the url right now.
