This is Indian psychology you are arguing with, to be more specific, it is HINDU, psychology.
According to them.
India is the center of the world.
It is as old as human history.
Every thing originated in India.
All languages came from Indian language, sansikrats.
Indians invented everything till the foreigners stole it.
Indian gods are "real" and they ruled India. Thus the idol worshipping of cows, monkeys elephants, pigs, rats etc..
To argue with an Indian/Hindu, that all those points are not real, is like arguing with them elephant man is not a god..
They are not rational, are intellectual dishonest, and chronic liars, e.g pre ice age cities.
