I have removed the repeated non-scholarly genetic studies as they don't meet WP:HISTRS. Repeating same point of view by printing one-sided genetic studies is POV Pushing. Asko Parpola says that "Mehrgarh" became "Indus Valley civilisation" not something that this article was misrepresenting. Parpola is not discussing near east or Mesopotamia so he should not be included in the article per WP:SYNTH. I also removed the misrepresentation of sources where the text claimed that there is 'influence', when the sources only say that seals of Mesopotamia and Indus Valley shows similarity. 42.107.227.207 ( talk) 14:05, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
If you are not specific and keep being aggressive, this is not going to move forward. Please look at the sources regarding the seals:
So "Mesopotamian influence" in some of the seals is widely supported by reputable sources. If you wish, we can add wording like "Mesopotamian themes in Indus iconography" like Possehl etc...
For the rest, please show specific examples that you are disputing, so that we can look at the sources and evaluate. Please note that a lot of the content you have been mass-removing is adapted from portions of the
Indus Valley Civilisation article. Thanks.

There is a LOT of influence from the IVC to Mesopotamia described in this article as well. If you have more information, you are welcome to add it with reputable sources as reference. पाटलिपà¥à¤¤à¥à¤° Pat (talk) 08:01, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
