WI the Indus Valley civilization never discovered?

Interpretations of early civilization on the Sub Continent are different, That is the text in a few hundred books and academic papers. Thats about it. If it is discovered in the 21st Centruy it will have a electrifying effect.
 
It would likely change dating for the migration of Vedics into the subcontinent, and thus would change the dating for the Proto-Indo-Iranic and Proto-Indo-European periods.

With no evidence of a Bronze Age Indian civilization, I think the status of Indian culture may be slightly lowered. Then again, without the theory that Vedic peoples caused the fall of the Indus Valley Civilization, the status of Indian culture may be slightly heightened.

Does that kind of thing really lower of heighten the 'status' of a culture? I find it hard to imagine how it could.

Does knowing that the Anglo-Saxons brought down the last vestiges of Roman Britian lessen the status of British culture?

You should listen to Hindu nationalists and their reaction to Hinduism and modern Indian culture possibly being a foreign import to India. They, for one, seem to genuinely think so.
