^^ The above mentioned report is already over 6 months old. Strange to observe that there has been no reaction from any important person /institution pertaining to archeology/history so far. Not a peep from any of the usual suspects. As far my personal opinion goes, this is a one off report. The "investigation"s could be sporadic attempts at social engineering- especially these remarks give away their intentions-

Gwen Robbins Schug studied the skeletal remains of 160 individuals from cemeteries of Harappa excavated during the 20th century. The burial practices and injuries on these bones may be interpreted as evidence for social hierarchy, unequal power, uneven access to resources, and outright violence, she said in a presentation earlier this week at a meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Montreal, Canada.

Attempts at denigrating using the usual assortment of words-social hierarchy, unequal power, uneven access to resources, trying to play down the truth that Harappa was a peaceful equal culture, with high degree of social autonomy.

An Indian anthropologist Anek Ram Sankhyan said earlier research on the skeletal remains from the Indus cities had independently suggested that women had lower levels of nutrition than men. “Dental enamel studies have hinted at gender-based nutritional discrimination,” said Sankhyan who had collaborated with Robbins Schug earlier this year in analysing the male skull with the evidence for craniotomy.
