[Responding to johnvertical. -BMS]
[ Extraordinary claims (in this case, the nonexistence of a Dravidian language family, unrelated
to Indo-European) require extraordinary evidence]
The claim that looks extraordinary is pretty ordinary to me and w'd be so for every body who
reads Rigveda and understands making of words.
[ The default position to hold should be that of inertia: Dravidian languages exist as separate
now, therefore they existed as separate earlier]
Yes, Pls not that I already highlighted Vedic Rishi Agastya making Tamil language by initiating
Sangam movement, however, Tamil or Kannada or Telugu are Dravida languages, is not more than
a blind belief as far as textual evidences goes in for both Sanskrit and Tamil.
However, your argument is pretty generic, in the 20th century, grammars are written for many
dialects in India and such dialects got status of language, Munda is one of such dialect, therefore,
saying that that what exists as seperate now has had seperate existance earlier also is not always
true.
I find that I am not much interested to publish all the details in a post since I see, there are few
activists ( fake or real ?) over here who iare engaged in dumping books without knowing whats
what in Vedas, pls note new weird claim made by Koenraad Eist that there is no sign of Bhakti
or Devotion to God whereas right from the first verse of first hymn to last verse of last hymn Vedic
Rishis reflect Bhakti, implicit or explicit
With this level and attitude of activists, what can be discussed and shared...
