Not likely to happen. Let's revisit this thread on 01-JAN-2013.

They were in conflict with Iranics ... and some of the Vedic authors do talk about their distant ancestors, who lived in places as far East as Kashi (Benaras), on the border between UP and Bihar.

hmm ... is this fellow from a continent that could not count properly until the Indians taught them how. And when was this guy Galileo threatened with torture. But more seriously this is too simplistic an explanation.

We are much illuminated by getting to know about your wondering.

Actually the Rig Vedic conflicts were between the Vedic peoples and the Iranic peoples to their west. As is well known the meanings attached to the terms Ahura/Asura, Deva and Dasa are quite opposite in the two cultures.

This is entirely the wrong idea ... the growth of Dharma inside India was as organic as the spread of Dharma to peoples beyond India. As mentioned earlier - Caste doesn't come into the picture. There was indeed a system of Varnas which was meant to be based, not on heredity, but on an...

Dharma spread in an organic way beyond India too. Consider how it was absorbed by Indonesia, Cambodia, China, Japan, Tibet etc. And other peoples, such as Tibetans, have made important contributions to Yoga and Buddhism. Central Asia also had a significant Dharmic presence before the advent of...

This may be true for Abrahamic doctrines. However, as I mentioned in another post, the organic growth of Dharma in India may be likened to the development of European Mathematics, with early contributors like Euclid, and many other contributors at various times, from various places.

Proto-Indo-European (PIE) linguists have started by assuming a certain model (i.e. existence of a Central Asian ancestral language), have invented words for it, and have invented rules that purport to show how those invented words are the roots of actual words. Appears to be a precarious...

uurrrgh ... before running off you could perhaps try to understand what was written. You can't talk about splits without assuming a common parent, which is purely a conjecture. One would also have to consider alternative mechanisms. If you start out by assuming something your conclusions...

The author is an American. I doubt India is interested in doing any ingratiating, but we are open to collaboration with anybody.

And that too without any pandering or quotas. In Modi's Gujarat Muslims live as humans not vote-banks.

Maybe economic development has led to unhealthy lifestyle. I also hear that soil quality in Punjab has deteriorated due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It is unfortunate, need to reconnect with nature.
