[@poeticsearthwide]

As a Nichiren Buddhist, and a student of African human history, I deeply appreciate the work of Mr Talageri. His work calls for a complete revision of Earthwide history. As it is mentioned here, Ambedkar rejected the AIT as a colonial imposition. I can relate to the concern against the discrimination that can emerge from caste or varna, but that could well have been a corruption of what was an older tradition which was inherited from the philosophy behind the African totemic clans (Diop, 1987). The evidence from Harappa reveals a high level of cooperation for civilization. Could it be that the later interaction with the nomadic steppes cultures of the Indo-European branches which were focused on warfare impacted the border areas of Vedic civilization and eventually led to a corruption of caste? As Talageri proved, the Vedic people did migrate to West Asia, where Akkad and Assyria interacted with the Gutians and many cultures that could have seen the potential profit of misusing the caste system. What does Talageri think of caste? I ask because I fail to see why there is a division between his work and Ambedkar’s

Why is it only Hindus who are able to see any hard evidence of anything in these astronomical observations? As a matter of genetic fact, we can be certain that the Indo European people did not originate in India We can know this because there is no evidence of Indian DNA in the people whom the I.E folks conquered outside of India. If they had originated in India, there would be Indian DNA all over where the IE people went. There isn't. There is lots more evidence to refute that silly claim, but that single piece is prohibitive. The end

[@MrLee-gj2jz]

Unfortunately for Talageri, today it is the field of archaeogenetics that is playing the major role in resolving the question of where is the Urheimat / original homeland. The associated question of the Ursprache / common language follows from the identification of the Urheimat. The linguists and the archaeologists have been superseded by geneticists in almost every paper that deals with the question in the past 20 years. So Talageri is actually wrong in trying to stress that the linguistic case is the primary evidence to prove/disprove OIT or AIT, followed by archaeology as the secondary evidence. Archaeogenetic data is more robust than any ancient inscriptions. Nobody has cassette or mp3 recordings of ancient spoken languages which makes linguistic evidence the weakest piece of information in the overall problem of trying to decipher ancient migration patterns. Overall, nationalistic / patriotic Indians would be very happy if it can be proved that: (i) Indians are more genetically similar to each other than to other populations in Middle East/Central Asia (because the colonial discourse painted Indian history as a continuous stream of invasions), i.e., Indians are a separate ethnicity onto themselves (ii) Indians dispersed out of India taking their languages / catlle with them (because the colonial idea was that Aryans civilized India bringing language, culture to the barbarians of India) (iii) Sanskrit is indigenous to India (because Indians can now lay an exclusive claim to the entire body of Sanskrit literature) (iv) A Neolithic revolution took place in India, independent of the fertile crescent/China/Anatolia Whether there was an Urheimat or there was an Ursprache and whether there was a relation between the two is irrelevant or simply an academic question too be thrashed out in obscure journals.

Sir according to Niraj Rai of CCMB. The R1A1 gene ( which is often associated with "Aryans" ) migrated to India after 700bc. So it is unlikely that they will go back and repopulate the steppes and European regions after that timeline. If it was the harappans who actually went and populated those Eurasian regions then we should not find R1A1 in those euro populations. If you have to argue that R1A1 genes went from out of india then you should find them in India much earlier.. say 4-5000bc... But it's not there in harappans. How can you explain that?

[@MrLee-gj2jz]

The theory that languages organize as phylogenetic "family trees" is inspired from biology, where animal and plant kingdoms continually bifurcate into the lowest tier that is species. This theory is again inspired from the Christian concept of the Adamic language, i.e., the uncorrupted language that God spoke to his creation Adam. This kind of thinking has pushed linguists to attempt to place any language within a tree based on various notions of similarity such as lexical, grammatical, morphological, phonetic etc. The family tree model was opposed from the very beginning by the "wave model" where it is proposed that languages do not descend from hypothetical original languages but rather form when waves of speakers of different languages mix and decide to create a new language for better communication. However, various events in the 19th century made the family tree model the main model in linguistics rather than the wave model. That Tamil is a Dravidian language and different from Sanskrit was proposed by William Caldwell. This is around the same time that the family tree model was taking shape in Europe and linguists were busy placing known languages of the world into family trees based on notions of similarity. The term Dravidian is a Sanskrit word and so is Dramila (from which the term Tamil originates). Once one gets rid of the mental construct of the family tree model of language evolution, it is quite clearly seen that so-called Dravidian languages such as Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu, are the closest to Sanskrit than any other north-Indian language.

If western scholars started with homeland of pie being India but moved to central steppe after not finding any evidences then why is he saying westerners have hidden agenda. The Egyptians did record the arrival of Assyrians from east around 3000bce so whats he talking about cultures not knowing about these people coming to Egyptian borders. Material cultures change with new people coming into an existing culture just like Islamic culture changed the architecture and lifestyle language and clothing styles of people same thing in India happened when these people came into India. He seems to be all over the place in his arguments making modern migrations of people moving to usa with the technology and travel methods. It's all jumbled up..

[@phoenixj1299]

False. You are basing an assumption without evidence and hence it can be dismissed without evidence. But in this case we have solid evidence to dismiss your argument. The very fact that all European traditions can be found in India but not all indian traditions are found in Europe is a proof that ancient Indians migrated towards west according to fundamental logic an reasoning. Furthermore extreme diversification of R1a haplogroup in india undeniably prove that the migration happened from India to Europe. Extreme diversification of Vedic traditions prove that Vedic traditions originated in India and it was spread throughout Europe as per the evidence of swastik and much more in Europe. Evidence of Saraswati river as major in rig Veda undoubtedly prove that Vedic Hinduism began in India and it existed around 6000 BCE atleast. You failed to comprehend Mr. Talageri's points and you also failed to integrate various data points.

Laughing before comprehending a statement is a mark of a fool. You failed to respond to my evidence since your basis is a delusion. Let me point out some European traditions and If you have any, point them as well. Some of European traditions had shamanism which exists in India. They had paganism which exists in India. They had animism which exists in India. They had the concept of Triglov(Trimurti) which exists in India. They had blood sacrifices towards God which exists in India. I can keep going on and on.

1:00:00 another argument against steppe Aryan migration- the steppe people were horse riders. But horse riding people are not found in Rigveda nor in Harappan iconography. There are no images of Ashvins riding horse in prayers, for example. Even in late texts like Mahabharata there are no cavalries as part of army. They have rathas. The rib count issue is also widely known. (I will discount Bhimbetaka painting as it cannot be dated and is also much further south)

[@WhistleMaster]

Why discount Bhimbetka? The relative period of the paintings are well established! And what about the description of river Saraswati in the RigVeda? And what about Nadi sutra of Rigveda? And what about the detailed description of the history of the people themselves written in our ancient scriptures. They themselves are clearly explaining Bharata Varsha. They have absolutely NO memory of any foreign origin. So now you know better about them than they themselves?LOL!

[@phoenixj1299]

Completely false. Horse riding people are found in Ramayan times all the way to Mahabharat times consistently. People used horses at Vedic times while waging wars. Infact few of those clans are the ancestors of people of Greece, Persia etc(ancestors of Hellenic people and Persians). Ashvamedha yagya is a Vedic practice that existed in Vedic times which involves horse. Bhimbetka paintings prove that horses was a central part for Vedic clans once again.

[@guruforty1]

Mr. Talageri has some good points, however he is a mere hate monger. However, what all those ancient kingdoms followed (there is plenty of evidence to this) followed the same culture, you cannot say they all had different backgrounds! You cannot be dogmatic when you say Rigveda is the crux of our culture. However, you cannot show anything else to replace it. It is quite obvious that this culture sustained for thousands of years and literally everyone who came in contact with it followed it. Hence primacy of this culture. And Mr. Talageri must stop Brahmin bashing. It is truly similar to anti Semitic in nature. No Brahmin thinks he/she is Aryan, which is a western invention! 'Arya' is a Sanskrit word for 'Noble one' , which is widely used in Indian languages. Brahmins are predominantly religious in vocation, hence attacked by all anti Hindu hate mongers, among them is Mr. Talagari who is basically hate monger. Very disappointing!! And I never head any of my Brahmin friends believe they are Westerners! This is quite weird!

My only criticism is, all of these are always based on Vedas, and other scriptures whose dating is uncertain and always debatable based on bias There is never an archeological claim. If we look at literature of all countries, they all can also similarly prove a theory for migration out of their land

[@AbhishekKumar-fj9jb]

Can you give example?

[@williamliamsmith4923]

There are dateable passages in middle Vedic literature. Take for example Kaushitaki Brahmana which explains how to start year from winter solstice. It dates to before 3000 BCE. Can you give any examples like this from other literature?

[@phoenixj1299]

Not true. Dating is not uncertain. Sure we can't specifically point it out but we can surely fix a time frame through hard evidence such as the mention of largely flowing Saraswati river.

[@pratikmanghwani7417]

There can be a 100 reasons for descriptions of dates prior to the literature being written. For example someone tells me about something today that I pass for a 1000 years. When it's noted 1000 years later, it doesn't reflect the true date.
