Even on neutral news reports, comment section is filled with this neo Buddhists. There are many neo Buddhists channels on YouTube promoting fake or one sided history. I really hope that some famous hindu vlogger go here and document all this.

Not talking about that. There are Buddhist relics there. There is a statue there where shree vishnu is in a "resting position" and one "dashavatar" statue. They claim that they are budha, they claim that entire thing is of Buddhist origin.
Search for diksha tv on YouTube. This guys will claim everything under the sun to be of budist origin.

David frawley's oped

Not Harappan Civilisation but Vedic Saraswati Civilisation

Disha ahluwalia got aggrieved.

'Calling Harappan Civilisation Vedic Saraswati is extreme — Learn to hold a trowel first'

her oped ends with

In the end, you may call the civilisation whatever you like, but you cannot discredit archaeological data without evidence. For archaeologists, till the Harappan folks don’t wake up from their graves and tell us their true identity, we will continue to call it the Harappan Civilisation.

emphasis on disproving "dark ages" theory in Indian history, by ASI people these days.

"dark age" is supposedly a period in India where the culture didn't progress, this used to be the claim based on lack of archeological evidence. haven't looked into this fully, but this is what i understood.

Dark Age refers to the gap in archaeological / material evidence for the period between the collapse of the Harappan civilization in late to mid 2nd millennium BCE i.e between 1900 -1400 BCE ( depending on the area excavated ) to 800-700 BCE - the period known as the second urbanization in Indian history aka the Mahajanapada period.

As long as we can't excavate sites in central & eastern UP as opposed to western UP , Haryana , Eastern & SE Punjab & Eastern Rajasthan , this will be a persistent bugbear for Indian archaeology & history .

For perspective this is what lies in store in the eastern parts of North India -

The site is noted to have been occupied as early as 9,000 BCE,[1] and by 7,000 BCE it provides the oldest evidence of ceramics in South Asia.[2][3]

Excavations reported earliest archaeological sites in the world for cultivation of rice, with Lahuradewa Period IA giving samples that were dated by AMS radiocarbon to the 7th millennium BCE.[4]

The principle issue is a lot of these sites are under settled areas & these also happen to be densely populated areas.

Disha Aunty in a self righteous mood spending half an hour getting her knickers in a twist on why the IVC sites in India shouldn't be called Vedic era sites or Saraswati Valley Civilization but referred to by the original name viz Harrapan Civilization .

Runs deep does in this female her Ideological biases - Master Yoda.

If you're as true to your Ideological leanings as she is to hers , from now onwards you must not only refer to Disha Aunty as Disha Chechi but also see her as such.

That should be punishment enough for her . @Tactical Doge

final conclusion from ASI 2002-03 report at RJB ayodhya
=====

The Hon'ble High Court, ni order to get sufficient archaeological evidence on the issue involved "whether there was any temple/structure which was demolished and mosque was constructed on the disputed site " as stated on page 1 and further on p. 5 of their order dated 5 march 2003, had given directions to the Archaeological Survey of India to excavate at the disputed site where the GPR Survey has suggested evidence of anomalies which could be structure, pillars, foundation wals, slab flooring etc. which could be confirmed by excavation. Now, viewing in totality and taking into account the archacological evidence of a massive structure just below the disputed structure and evidence of continuity ni structura! phases from the tenth century onwards upto the construction of the disputed structure alongwith the yield of stone and decorated bricks as well as mutilated sculpture of divine couple and carved architectural members including foliage patterns, amalaka, kapotapali doorjamb with semi-circular pilaster, broken octagonal shaft of black schist pillar, lotus motif, circular shrine having pranala (waterchute) ni the north, fifty pillar bases in association of the huge structure, are indicative of remains which are distinctive features found associated with the temples of north India.​

They are making idiotic claims and quoting fake history books to spread hatred against Hinduism. Looks like failing to deal with Hindus Islamo-leftists are trying to falsify history and create raaita of it.
