Mail from MKelkar

By mistake, I presume, MKelkar has sent me two postings to me instead
of publishing them here on Cybalits where they belong:

'Forget Miller. No one has asked an Ostler to resign

even after writing this in 2005 CE and not 1805 CE

"There is also some cultural evidence in the Rig Veda which suggests
how the invading Aryans felt they differed from the peoples, the dasa
and dasyu, their language came to dominate, for they same has having
darker skins, `black of origin, krsnayonih (Rig Veda, ii.20.7). This
fits with the Sanskrit word used traditionally for the four-fold
division into social castes, Brahman~Kshatriya~Vasiya~Sudra, namely
varna, `colour' (Ostler 2005, p. 197, 564)."

Avoiding IEL

I would love to avoid Indo-Euroepan linguists if I could. But that is
not possible. These people have the nasty habbit of writing ugly
letters to school boards in the United States. Such actions present a
clear and present danger to my family and me. I do not know anything
about the Japanese or Korean linguistic issues. But I definitely know
that the Miller sob story you posted conceals the very well known
reality of the power certain Indologists hold even today.

Could you please knock the nasty habit of writing letters to me
instead of to Cybalist where everybody can see them? Thank you very much.
