Turkey is also worse off than Western European countries; Turkey is also a country with a 600 year old empire that was only disestablished 90 years ago... why are they not all the richer for it?; none of this lends any credence to your BS theories. Colonization resulted in very few benefits for...

Actually, the school boyish mistake is doing what you're doing. Every 5-year old knows that language and race are not the same thing; it takes a person with minimal knowledge in linguistics to know that languages originate within specific ethnicities/races/whatever-you-wanna-call-it. That is...

Since when is direct evidence the only kind? There is no such thing as a time travel machine. Deal with it. As was stated: This finding alone does not rule out the possibility of an elitist and/or male-predominant Aryan invasion of the Indian subcontinent as in fact the patterns of historical...

Let me guess: White racism and a desperation to claim ancient cultures which seemingly 'don't belong' to us??

You're the one that seems confused. The distinction between invasion and peaceful cultural diffusion was largely irrelevant to the main point I was making. Whether they went peacefully or not doesn't change the fact that they did in fact go. From now on I'll use the term "Indo-Aryan migration"...

Oh, I thought you were stating that... I'm not sure what you are suggesting, but you seem to suggest that there was peaceful co-habitation instead of violence. Is that correct? Well, you are right that there is no overwhelming consensus on that specific point. I can provide links that state...

I'm sorry, did you seriously just state that languages don't spread through invasion? REALLY? The entire history of Indo-European languages is predicated upon eliminating the pre-Indo-European people or forcing them to assimilate into the Indo-European culture; that is the very basis of the...

Ok, since it really matters to you, I'll only go off-topic this once. Born December 22nd 1990. That makes me 23 years old. Anyway, like I said, as if me being an old man has anything to do with why you can't come up with a response to the conversation you started. There is clearly nothing more...

Like I said, I'm not surprised that you have to use the typical generic excuse of [insert ad hominem here] as the reason for which you cannot continue this conversation. You are lazy, obnoxious, and intellectually dishonest. As if me being an old man has anything to do with why you can't come up...

The Indo-Aryans did invade, and then culturally assimilated the Dravidian's into THEIR culture. The only reason they don't look like the Indo-Aryans that initially invaded is because they took native Dravidian wives. Maternal ancestry (mtDNA) in both the north and south of India is a lot more...

I was pretty sure that after my previous response you'd come up with some excuse for not posting a rebuttal. You don't disappoint. Excuses and laziness... all your people are good for! (Just remember that it was you who wanted to take me on, not the other way around.)

No, but if you're finding it hard to post a rebuttal for anything I've said in my response to you then you can just give up. I won't blame you for doing so.

No

Why?

This is not empirical evidence. This is amateur drivel. Turkey itself held a huge empire for 600 years. I could just as easily excuse their wealth for colonial gain as you could European colonialism for their wealth gain. Besides, Turkey isn't all that rich. Almost all of the Arab Gulf states...

Well, if we are just speaking about language groups then it would be the Urheimat of the language group. The "Urheimat" is the origin of the language. The reason language groups are used to define races/ethnicities/pan-ethnicities (etc. etc.) that inhabited Earth during ancient times, is because...

Ok. The IVC was indigenous, but the Indo-Aryans are not related to the IVC anyway. But still, if we are going to go off of scientific consensus, is it not true that the IVC is still not confirmed as an indigenous population? If they were Proto-Indo-Iranian or Semitic than they originated from...

India could not have been better because India was in a horrible position already before British colonization. Or else how would 20,000 troops from a tiny island nation colonize a subcontinent with a population 1,000x it's size? 1. The "East" was never more powerful than the West because they...

You unleash an odor of confidence in your predictions that would only come from a man who traveled through time and saw this for yourself. Is that why they call you timetravel?

Your post was cut-off for some reason and this is the only part I got. Yes, it was an invasion, as is stated in many of the pages I referenced. Before that there was the Indus Valley Civilization, but they were destroyed by the incoming Indo-Aryans. In fact, we don't really know who the IVC...
