Fortunately, the real "sheet anchor of Indian chronology", as Smith described earlier, the invasion of Alexander in 327 B.C., stood firm. Now a welcome change is coming. It is the acceptance of most of our historians, of a scheme of short chronology suggested by Pargiter, and modified by a number of writers. It is the general concensus of opinion now, that this Mahabharata battle took somewhere about 1200-1000 B.C. As will be explained, archaeological evidence generally supports it indirectly.
