@WorldofAntiquity fair enough. But the urban civilization claim is used to dismiss plausible Rigvedic connections with IVC (That's rather dismissive). In other words since IVC is urban and Rigveda describes rural life hence, it's synthesis has no connection to IVC. That claim is equally incorrect and lacks evidence - to reiterate is also a confirmation bias. P.S.: I think your video and your scholarship is great.

Harappan civilization definitely had a rural life. We just haven't discovered it. At it's peak, Harappa was 6 million, there's no way you can sustain that population without a countryside. We know they were great traders and agriculturalists. It's not too far from the truth to imagine there were pastoralists as well. Insisting that Harappan civilization is an urban civilization is form of confirmation bias.
