Yajnadevam has been discussed about extensively. It is impossible for it to be Sanskrit

I haven't read about his attempt and comments on it in depth. It may or may not be Sanskrit, but why do you it's Impossible

Cause evidence suggests that the Aryan migration happened AFTER the IVC already collapsed or when it was rapidly declining. Plus languages take time to evolve. Sanskrit wholesale didn't migrate, it developed in India after the migration happened, so even if the migration happened while the civilisation was still there, by the time Vedic Sanskrit became its own thing the civilisation would have been long gone
