th'at you who geagn in this false way: the Journal of IES receives funds from the neo-nazis so that explain why they can't agree with the idea that Indo-european came from india
but it is very complicated because you fight aslo again marxists if i understand well who will save the dravinian origins of India- right?
PIE question wat always mixed with political questios as IE research was linked with right-oriented people
it is perhaps true but if i understand well the term Indo-european and even we say indo-germanen as in german, it is not a fact to be white or brown, blue-eyed and blon-haared man or not because people in india differs biologicaly speaking from people inthe West bu speak the same language and share in common cultural values
that proce the madness of racist theories as well inwestern cultures as in India
PIE are not better if they come from india that's not politically important, they are not more interessant becauset that or in spite of that they are interesssant for me because my langauge and my culture and even my religion as modernwest pagan come from PIE langauge culture and religion
I dont want to bother with their skin colour I want to know thier homeland for scientific reasons of interrest and to understand theirs travels
i search for archeological testimonies and not ideological statements

Are you aware that Dr. Kalyanaraman is a Tamil?
He has neither blonde hair, nor blue eyes, nor a white skin like true
Indo-Europeans.
Did you not read other Indo-Europeanists on this list say that we
should focus on issues, rather than on imagined motivations?
