All thanks to the AIT, other people think Hinduism and pretending they are practising a Hindu occupation (mangling the Vedas with mispronunciations, no doubt) is <i>their</i> heritage. It's because of the Oryan connection.
But they don't call it Hinduism, mind. They stress it's 'Vedic Reconstructionism', which supposedly tries to extricate Hinduism (which they think is 'Dravidian' religion) from some imaginary Oryan thing they call 'Vedic religion'. <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
In reality, the only place the Oryans and Dravidoids wander about is in their minds.
