What DNA Says About Aryan Invasion Theory-1

[dhu]

Sushmita, there is indeed some reason for caution, as stated by Hauma Hamiddha. Another one of Manansala's associates is Clyde Winters, who as an "afrocentrist" propounded, a while back, the theory of black African "Sudroids" authoring the "Harrapan" civilization. This same Clyde Winters, however, did make mincemeat of Farmer when debating the latter over his illiterate harappan theory on the sulekha board itself. Basically, we are seeing the after-effects of 200 years of AIT brainwashing wherein north indians are falsely equated as European-type colonialists and racists in the eyes of the world. I have seen this even with some Chinese who state that they feel more comfortable with South Indians than with "Aryan North Indians" (theasf.net). In my eyes, this entire episode concerning Paul Manansala just proves why Indians must continue to concentrate on the motivations behind the AIT and its sociological origin, effects, etc - this theory has had an unbelievably negative effect upon indian political affairs. Even the Sankaracharya episode perpretrated by the church can be laid at the footsteps of this ridiculous AIT-type theorizing infecting Hindus - which had historically been missing from the Hindu self-consciousness. The Tamil- Sinhala conflict also is due to the AIT theory (or manipulation of this theory by missionaries) as pointed out recently by one aravindan neelakanthan. Even with this theory rejected, we are still left floundering with its almost unfathomable social implications.

btw, Clyde Winters is indeed able to take care of eurocentric claims regarding the Greek civilization. I will always remember one comment of his: something to the effect that "the Acropolis looks like a tin can in front of the magnificence of tel-al-amarna".
