Re: dating of aryans

 
Studying at the Indic Aryans in the larger context of the world history is the essential key to the dating of the Aryans. With such an exercise in mind, I have , in my own way, tried to formulate certain basic issues, some of them essentially linguistic,  within the framework of my readings.

One issue that has caught the imagination of this group  in this connection is the complex languages of primitive tribes.

When I said primitive tribes, as the Indic Aryans imagined to be, can not have complex languages, I am not  alluding to the mere constructive elements, such as vocabulary, phonology or  even, grammar.

The poetic imagery of Rg veda is without a parallel. The complexities of sanskrit  philology presents the best of the scholars with several  puzzled moments.

If the Indic Aryans could develop  a language with elements of such rich content, it is rather weird that they are painted as less civilized than some of their contemporaneous cultures.

The other points, if at all, are  only tangentially touched.
