<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The South Indian Dravidianist groups say that it was a South Indian invention.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->wrong. south indian, as also all north indian, script is a derivative of brahmi and not th other way round.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> I've always held the Indian position that Brahmi was Indian and was the script for old Sanskrit. The Dravidian groups claim Brahmi is Dravidian. The west and their research refuses to recognise Brahmi as being of the Indian subcontinent at all. Fight it out with them. If you use the same arguing skills as exhibited here though, you'll doubtlessly fail.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->precisely. same applies for present day brahmins in tamil nadu, karnataka et al. either descendants of the original ones who came from the north (ramesh krishnan) or local trainees (and their descendants) of the aforementioned (radha krishnan)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> No, it does not apply to the brahmins of Tamil Nadu. Again, showing your ignorance. The Gowda Saraswat Brahmins settled from the North as everyone knows. But the others are local, a very few teachers from the North was all that was needed to train the Hindu religious order of the South in the Vedas.
Man, you're such a racist. No genetics data would ever convince you. Have you gone through the genetics thread here? I've nearly finished reading all of it. The north Indians came from the south via the east. Read it again. If anyone bothered, you might find that the Gods were already known when the population moved North from the South.
I might have missed some of your other statements. Can't be bothered. Don't bother replying, I think I can predict what you'll write. You'll repeat everything you've stated ad nauseum and then conclude Q.E.D. (not by logical proof, but by repetition).
Like I said. Don't go beyond your realm of expertise: spades. Apparently even pseudo-scholarship is not your forte. Sorry to be blunt. But how is it you say it: a spade is a spade?
