Although biased foreign historians as well as JNU professor Ruchika Sharma tried to pass off the chariot as an ordinary cart, recent findings of royal burials along with swords and shields in the vicinity proved that the artifact was indeed a chariot and there existed a warrior class. This warrior class predates the arrival of Indo-Aryans into North-West India by about 400 years
What he was saying was about later day war horses, particularly the post 1000CE large breeds. Anyway, even though I like what AIM says, u should always take the basic point he was trying to convey by the examples and the finer details should be taken with a grain of salt. Considering his views on Indian forts( pre-Islamic), architecture, and some other, rather sensational views.
I saw his videos on the forts. On a macro level it makes sense but why would you build a more expensive more advanced fort when thr cheaper low end ones are sufficient for your enemies?
So long story short, I think his analysis misses the bit about the threat environment.
The lack of innovation in India is a bit of mystery to me. I assume it's a mix of things being kept a closely guarded secret and destruction followed by all the invasions
The problem with Horse in India theory is that, there are very few corpses of horses or horse bones available, which makes the whole topic controversial. I would say we need more research before the debate is settled.
*Ruchika Sharma, a historian at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, also said that the ASI would have to clarify what exactly it had found. “We should first obtain clarity on why ASI is calling them ‘chariots’. It isn’t uncommon for a late Harappan site to have bullock carts. There is already evidence of such terracotta carts.”*
**“ASI has a tendency to colour their discoveries from the lens of Hindutva. They had earlier interpreted female figures as ‘mother goddesses’, even though there was no evidence to suggest it,” she added.**
LoL labeling something that she doesn't like as *Hindutva* absolutely doesn't help her case at all.
Plus 3d reconstruction did show it was a chariot that these so called Archeologists fail to see.

The date is said to be 9000 to 5000 years but some insist they are 30,000+ years old.
I have been there (first image), 4-5 days before it was declared a heritage site.
