Similarly for the Upper Indus basin and the Gangetic valley, the picture is becoming clearer with the palpable evidence of overlaps between the Harappan or its late derivatives and the Grey Ware. The newly discovered site of Ukhlina near Meerut and the Kausambi evidence of the association of Grey ware with certain "Harappan" (?) traits in ceramics and architecture, support this hypothesis. Dr. Y. D. Sharma has noticed slight differences between Kotla Nihang, Rupar and Bara (all within the Harappan). Kathiawad is an eye opener and it would be fantastic to believe that Harappan culture remained unmodified from its inception to its death. One is not wrong in expecting a slightly modified or decadent Harappan culture, which might have been contemporary with the Grey Ware people and the Aryans.
