...
The Indian subcontinent <b>may </b>have acquired agricultural techniques and languages<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<b>NOT</b>. That "may" is English for a probability of 0.0% by the way. Where the 0 after the decimal repeats infinitely.
It is the Aryan-Mind-Invasion Theory now. Their minds invaded us Indians, who were incapable of speech and agriculture, until they kindly civilised us like the swell British did millennia later. How grateful we are! No, really. Where did the invading chariots go of some barbaric tribe bringing down the Harappans who were the "Dravidians" who fled south? Ooh, wait, Underhill and Witzel probably still believe in their ancestors invading our lands. Because there's still Aishwarya Rai to account for.
The AIT continues. Except now they are happier than ever: they never wanted to be connected genetically with us, but they always wanted to claim the root of the IE languages. What next? I can see the Global Christian Movement (aka Global Christian Menace) is going to say: "you are all one people living under a religion that is not yours. Let it go." No thanks.
How can they make a claim on our language when they have no older IE language anywhere living among them or written down anywhere?
From the "West"? Where in the west do they mean?
"agricultural techniques and languages" - no, because they got agriculture (farming) from the ME. Samskrt and all the languages derived from it in India are ours. If they want it, they should prove otherwise, without resorting to their laughable and desperate PIE.
Since they can't prove an invasion into India, and our genes are splattered all over their ancestors, they still want to claim our culture. <b>Language is culture</b>. It's what our ancestors used to compose and write our knowledge like the Rg Veda. We've got Pannini who detailed the grammar exquisitely. What next, they'll claim the Dravidian languages once they discover how cultured the South Indians are?
How did the West invent PIE again? Where do they speak PIE again?
Not giving us the credit of our own language is the same as saying we were uncivilised (in western terms). The AIT lives.
Our culture and our languages and our genes are our own. I'm sorry that they can't accept that. I'm sorry they find it hard to swallow and can no longer play ubermenschen. But that's just tough luck. There are no ubermenschen. They need to get off the pedestal and everyone else needs to kick the pedestal so it never comes up again.
This paper has effectively stated that the A(Mind)IT will in future not be affected by genetics whatever the outcome. (Unless of course some study shows a massive European genetic invasion of N-India. In which case the AIT will make a massive comeback, like it had never gone away.)
However, no genetics study that makes us the genetic ancestors is going to credit us with the IE languages. They've made their minds up: it's a one-way street, a rigged game where we lose no matter what.
They're such liars. At night they'll lie awake and know their ancestors did not accomplish what they now claim them to have. Anyway, Karma will bite them in the ... foot.
