Shri. Hammidha,
Why did our people not examine the texts afresh taking the cue from Tilak?
By "our people" are you referring to Indians in general or Hindutva historians like Rajaram, Talageri, etc?
If it is the latter crowd, then dealing with Tilak would present a problem as he suggests an Arctic homeland for the Aryans. Tilakji is somebody that historians of this ilk generally steer clear off (ok, they acknowledge the dating bit), sort of like their "attraction" to Brahui and why it is spoken in a certain place to this day <!--emo&

BTW, nice writeups on Mueller. Certainly a different perspective of the controversial person.
