Syncretism and Acculturations in Ancient India

Which proposes a new Nine Phase Acculturation model between the Harappans, Indo-Aryans and other cultures, analyzes the role of internal and external migrations in shaping Indian culture, and proposes an Anchor Point Model and a Concurrent Dating Paradigm for understanding Ancient India besides arguing for delinking ethnicity, spoken and written language and cultural influences while studying Ancient India.  Plus prima facie evidence linking the “Late Harappan script” at Bet Dwarka to the Phoenician Alphabet and the Proto-Canaanite scripts, suggesting that two scripts were used in the post-Harappan period.
