I have a big problem with this statement in the Harappan Horse Fraud article
(at
http://www.umass.edu/wsp/method/antiquity/harappa.html)
>>India, like Japan, is thus a country whose classical high culture is
>>imported, not indigenous.
>> This can lead to a psychologically precarious cultural identity.
What rubbish. India's culture is ancient by any standard. This insistence
on conflating Vedic culture with all Indian "high culture" is part of the
problem. But the above-quoted assertation is especially ironic, since
western Europe's own classical high culture is imported, from its alphabet
to its Doric (whoops, Gizan) columns to its dominant religion.
