Here is one more thing: Indian texts are undateable. Scholars say Mahabharata's oldest layers can't be older than 400bce. While the events mentioned can't be older than 1000bce. These are guesses of scholars 😂

Haven't read Mahabharat yet Planning to buy Bibek Debroy translations But here is what mahabharat has to say about Sakas, possibly much before they established their empire in India. The region called Sakadwipa Mahabharata mentions about a whole region inhabited by Sakas called Sakadwipa to...

Hun! So Iran HG and CHG are older 🤔

One Rakhigari sample was from 2500bce if I am not wrong. A million events could have happened in next 500 years before the hypothesized arrival of Steppe MLBA. Again how sure are we that the steppe MLBA that did arrive were pure and not a hybrid of Harappan + Steppe MLBA? Could very well be the...

I don't understand why are we hesitant when it comes to Scythian steppe contribution to Indian population. Scythian have been found to be overwhelmingly West Eurasian that too with Haplogroups R, R1, R1a1. What little eastern component they had was among the eastern Scythians. North, West and...

Many of my cousins look like him. No blue eyes though We call such looks kachur These days I wish I was a geneticist. I wouldn't have wasted time taking and analysing their samples.

Scythians were masters of steppe. They were Iranian speaking horse riders. What role did they play? They were right next to Russians/Ukrainians. Was there linguistic diffusion from South to North via Scythians? Must be looked into 🤓

Language that appears closest to Sanskrit in Europe is Lithuanian. Oldest attestation 1500ce Mittani attestation 1500bce 3000 year gap. Why call it Baltic? Could possibly be an Indo-Iranian language. What Likely hood of teachers/scholars/Priests spreading language rather than...

I also like that idea. May be we aren't really looking at things from right perspective.

Villien from old Bollywood movies 😜

Are Iranian Hunter gatherer same as Caucasian Hunter gatherer?

Boys! Aryan invasion of Europe is real!! Yamnaya that invaded Europe had half of their ancestry from Caucasian Hunter Gatherers. If I am not wrong aren't CHG Iran Neolithic derived? These guys originated somewhere in Iran and mixed with European Hunter Gatherers and then slaughtered the...

Rig Veda Mandala 7.8.4 Far famed is this the Bhārata's own Agni he shineth like the Sun with lofty splendour. He who hath vanquished Pūru in the battle, the heavenly guest hath glowed in full refulgence.

One interesting hymn Rig Veda 7.6.3-4 The foolish, faithless, rudely-speaking niggards, without belief or sacrifice or worship,— Far far sway hath Agni chased those Dasytis, and, in the cast, hath turned the godless westward. Him who brought eastward, manliest with his prowess, the Maids...

Even well equipped brutal invaders of later era failed miserably to replace genetics and languages of India.
