****GK: This is really the point. Cybalist is not a
forum for the discussion of substantive religious
issues as such, and certainly not in religious terms.
"India first" is religion not science. There is a huge
amount of proper discussion about the scientific
issues involved as to the origin of PIE in the
cybalist archives, and the insuperable defects of
Indo-centrism in this regard. Kishore Patnaik would be
well advised to spend some time foraging there instead
of wasting our time with his dogmas.****
