Arnaud,

You are biggest of the racists here. So, how can you have noticed such a thing? I would have been surprised if you did. Learn some civilization, guy!

I have studied Indo-European and lingustics for years
and I have not imagined even a second that PIE could come from India.
Your political agenda is precisely what dictates
your preconceived (and phoney) OIT past.
When do you plan to start applying your proposed distinction ?

Arnaud

Show me one paragraph of my writings where it has got anything to do with Politics, current or erstwhile.  My ideas are not dictated by Hindutva or BjP. OIT  is old hat. For get it and grow up. I have differed with Kak, NSR, Elst and Kalyan as much as I did with MW or RT. I am looking for truth about the ancient past, not the politically or racially cooked up explanations, dished out by polemic playing scholars.

What is the reason Linguistics should have to justify its conclusions
in the light of something else ?
Historical linguistics has its own heuristic program,
its own methods, its own conclusions,
its own self-assessment.

Oh come, come now, you are talking like the old christian missionary of 18th century. When some one asked him how does he justify the biblical theory that universe is only 4000 years old, he quipped. " why should I? I have my own methodology!"(almost the exact words You have used!!!!)  Finally, grilled by the querist who showed the evidence of fossils, which are anyway lot older than the bible's world, the Missionary very cleverly blurted out" you fool! dont you know? when god created the earth, he created it along with fossils !!!!"

Some methodology,  I should say !!

 

 

You say you are not anti-linguist?
That's true,
In fact, you are a negationist of linguistics.
That's worse.

This sentence makes me think

I'm afraid people like you

These expletives show you are more bigotist and less scholar. Dont crib baby, convince me  with your erudition.
And what poision? Did i talk against Moslems? Did I say all christians in the country should be thrown into Bay of Bengal?? Or, did I ever say ,  like your own politicians blurted once... oh just leave it, you are disgustingly prejudiced.
