We are an Argentinian group desirous to share all this Sanskrit knowledge with you. We are four men dedicated to the study of Sanskrit language since many years ago. Not only that, we have also studied Non-dual Shaivism of Kashmir (a philosophy of northern India), Paatañjala Yoga, Cakrá-s, Vedic and Tantric rituals, Vedaanta, etc. However, our specialty is Sanskrit and Non-dual Shaivism of Kashmir.

Q: Does Sanskrit come from India?

A: No. Sanskrit was at the height of its splendor in India, but it really comes from the Indo-European tribes which, according to the latest studies, arrived in India coming from Eastern Anatolia peninsula (Turkey). On André's page about Origin of the Indo-European Languages all these Indo-European migrations are analyzed deeply. It is a common error to think of Sanskrit as being born in India, but that is not so.  <!--emo&:flush--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Flush.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Flush.gif' /><!--endemo-->  <!--emo&:thumbdown--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Leading to Vedas, upanishads, Mahabahrat all composed in Europe, possibly Switzerland? Its a continual attack to run down India's great accomplishments and Civilisation...<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I went to the site you are mentioning (www.sanskrit-sanscrito.com.ar) and the guys there are only stating the origin of Sanskrit and not that Vedas, Upanishads, etc. were made in the region from which those Indo-European tribes started their immigration to India according to them.

Besides, they speak many times of "Indian philosophies". Thus, since Upanishads, Vedas, Bhagavad Gita and the like are included within the literature of those "Indian" philosophies, they are really stating that they were composed in India.

People like you, who is easily drawn by pseudo-nationalist emotions, very often do not understand correctly what they read, and quickly resort to mockery and irony that only show their inherent ignorance.

Again, if you analyze the massive site they have built in honor of Sanskrit literature, grammar, etc., you will realize (provided you refrain from following the said pseudo-nationalist emotions) that since they are affirming that Sanskrit flourished and was developed mostly in India, they are really paying a great service to your country, despite they live in Argentina, at such a great distance from India. Evidently, they are basing their affirmations on linguistic studies and not on mere nationalist fervor. If these studies are right or not is a matter of debate, but it is undeniable that they are making a good job in revitalizing Sanskrit which, according to my opinion, belongs to the entire world and not merely to a country.

I don't mind if Sanskrit was born in Turkey, India or Greenland. The great texts and inherent wisdom written in Sanskrit was composed in India and flourished there. But now, it is spreading throughout the entire planet and may be considered a patrimony of mankind. Thus, use your nationalism somewhere else please, where it may be useful for somebody... and take the disgusting smily you put with you too. While you are speaking nonsenses and exerting subtle violence here in the name of cheap nationalism, a handful of foreign people is building such a great site as that one in honor of your own country. What a joke... and what a shame!
