We must thank Bahadur et al. for mentioning the date of what they consider as the ‘Great migration’. Our suggestion about earthquake-related devastation was based on the field examination of different villages where the Paliwal Brahmins lived. We presented some telltale evidence of destruction of houses made of blocks of rocks without using any cementing materials. The earthquake-related destruction features in the poorly constructed stone-block houses of Kuldhar and other Paliwal villages were similar to those destroyed during the Latur earthquake in the recent past, and at about 4000 years ago site at the historical Mohenjodaro.
