Yes, the Californian Hindus had goofed it up due to the technical blunder of failing to ascertain the currency of the AIT, but they were not presenting an outrageously wrong case for consideration.But they had got their priorities wrong.Not only the Californian Hindus but everybody who is convinced about the absurdity of the AIT should first challenge the AIT in universities and academia.They should call for debates.Prompt decisions are not to be expected but persistence is sure to yield fruits.So a concerted action on the part of the opponents of the AIT is direly needed.But Mr.Koenraad,you don't seem to be advocating such a course of action.Instead you want the opponents of the AIT to lie low and be defensive rather than striking out aggressively.So why are you Janus faced?<br /><br />Archaeology and excavations cannot explain languages?Then how do we get to know about languages? From air through telepathy?It is only through the objects from excavations we get the beginnings of any language.If you say that archaeology and excavations cannot explain languages then by the same or similar token, linguistics cannot explain historical movements.Truth Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135681599096415883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-36813235712145835062013-10-11T22:36:00.166-07:002013-10-11T22:36:00.166-07:00Thanks Dr Elst for all your recent posts, been mis...Thanks Dr Elst for all your recent posts, been missing them for sometime :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Rita Narayananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571424829504222267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-28453929061323441952013-10-11T09:19:36.286-07:002013-10-11T09:19:36.286-07:00Wouldn't it make more sense if you let us know...Wouldn't it make more sense if you let us know Shri Kalyanaraman's quote as well?Sandeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876160384936501586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-25134739112980104332013-10-11T09:10:45.714-07:002013-10-11T09:10:45.714-07:00Hindu community is basically stupid.

It is so because it does not expose itself to the enormously complex and beautiful works on philosophy and politics created by the Vedic people of ancient times, it is ignorant of it's own past, it's identity is therefore only name sake. <br /><br />There are many Hindus who can quote european thinkers but almost none can quote the equally correct and impressive things said by our own ancestors, Hindu society is rudderless and it needs people like Ram Swarup and Sita Ram Goel and of course Dr.Elst whether he agrees or not.Shravan Tanjorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298451633247843496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-83678562904701245372013-10-11T07:27:09.205-07:002013-10-11T07:27:09.205-07:00I guess the book names are: Shrikant Talageri: The...I guess the book names are: Shrikant Talageri: The Rg-Veda (Delhi 2000) and The Rg-Veda and Avesta, the Final Evidence (2008);?Jijithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863600917277312849noreply@blogger.com
