GT,
The lecturer mentions that the Aryan invasion started 3000 BC not during 1500-1200 BC, which is actually different from what we see in many internet sources. Those sources say it to be between 1700-1300 BC. I hope he has some sources to support his time-line. So, if we follow his time-line we can say that Dravids fled the region and moved towards south well before the river turn into a desert.


busenitz,
i don't think he is a permanent lecturer in TU, he may be a guest lecture in different department.

idk2003,
i agree with you. Aryan refined their 'cunningness' overtime as they travelled through places of different culture.
