Mahadevan is more honest than the witzel/parpola circus, but he does have his ideological blinders on. He did not come out with the racist reflex of hoax
An entire corpus of SSVC inscriptions have been found in the Mideast. that does not turn the mideast areas into dravidian or sanskrit speaking.. It does however speak for signifcant sanskritic (Indic) influence in the mideast. The fact that we continue to separate the known so-called "IE" invasions of the mideast (hittite/mittani/kassite/persian/etc) from these SSVC artifacts is a unimaginable travesty. Invariably, military conquest follows economic invasion or trade relations.
