Dear "mkelkar",
As far as I know, there's no international conspiracy to prevent Indian
(or Iranian-speaking) scholars from participating in IE research. I
don't think you have been authorised to act as spokesman for Indian
linguists or to articulate their alleged colective sentiments. As this
list's moderator, I don't care for the way you cross-post your
insinuations to several lists (Indo_Iranian, PIEML, Cybalist and
Indian_Civilisation). It's a breach of netiquette. Remember that
FLAME-BAITING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED HERE.
