Talageri's reply to Fournet on the OIT

Dear listfolk,

I have uploaded in the files section Shrikant Talageri's rebuttal (TalageriReplyToJoker.doc) of Arnaud Fournet's slapdash criticism of his book "The Rigveda and the Avesta, the Final Evidence", in which he had dissected the Rg-Veda and the Avesta for conclusive evidence for an Indian origin of Indo-Iranian and even Indo-European.

So far, Fournet, expelled from this list for uncivilized conduct, has been the only one to try and take on the evidence presented by Talageri. Profs. Michael Witzel and Francesco Brighenti, leading critics of the Out-of-India Theory who might be deemed capable of writing their own critiques, have taken umbrage behind Fournet's polemical review when challenged for a refutation. So, Fournet's demolition of Talageri's OIT must be formidable indeed, and Talageri's attempt to prove him wrong must be well worth our read.

Best regards,

Koenraad Elst
