IE homeland debate and Indian politics

Dear listfolk,

since the vague impression of the exceptional impact of Indian politics on the Urheimat debate weighs heavily on recent and contemporary discussions, here are some corrections and updates on the matter:

Since the latter paper might suggest some personal hostility for Prof. Witzel, a hate figure among Indian invasion skeptics, let me add some publications that don't concern this topic but do dispel this impression:

So, I hope I have not taken up too much of your space here.
