The following seems to have escaped the notice of any correspondent

THE CITY IN EARLY HISTORICAL INDIA A.GHOSH IIAS, Simla 1973

One word of caution for those who are not acquainted with the views of the archaeologist:  he has completely changed his earlier stance regarding the origin of many elements of the city as expressed in 1955.

Hello Klaus,
 
do you (or anyone else) know if there are any studies of India's oldest fortifications/fortresses/fortified cities (up to ca. 1000 A.D.)?
 
Best regards,
 
Lars Martin
