Date of Painted Grayware

"According to Asko Parpola, the war may have taken place at the end of the painted grayware period, 75-350 B.C." Painted Grayware is dated to 1200-600 on its own page. I'm not sure what the source says.

Popular tradition and archaeoastronomy

Please add the last entry as below:



Popular tradition holds that the war marks the transition to Kali Yuga and dates it to 3102 BCE. A number of other proposals have been put forward:

  • Kesheo Lakshman Daftari, one of the members of the Calendar Reform Committee which prepared the Indian national calendar, holds that the war took place in 1197 BCE.
  • V. S. Dubey claims that the war happened near 950 BCE.[1]
  • Atul Kumar Kuthiala holds that the war happened around c. 4600 BCE.[2] A081950 (talk) 20:17, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
