<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->But there have been lot of seals discovered about the Hittite kingdom who were followers of Veda i.e Hindu (they worshipped Gods like Indra, Vayu etc) which clearly record the cremation of there Kings. And also they were master charioteers and kicked Rameses's (Paharoh of Egypt) ass at Kadesh.

I am trying to look for links of Meluhha, Meluhhan colonists in Iraq with their own rulers/leaders having first close ties with the kingdom of Lagash (pre-2100 BCE) and then with Ur of theThird dynasty period (2112-2004 BCE) on.
The rise of Indic equestrian technique and nomenlature must have been dispersed from the Khabur Valley centre, an ancient area with a horse culture already from the days of their kings Shatarmat and his son Atalshen, to Anatolia (19th century BCE) and Egypt (17th/16th century BCE) even before the rise of the Mitannian empire.
The Mita-nni or Maita-nni Hindus were especiallly at home within the Hurri speaking areas.
My theory is that the ancient SA.GAZ (Sumerian logogram from Ur II period on) and its synonymous word Hapir-u/Habir-u or 'Apir-u (Akkadian, from 19th century on) were especially applied to the Hurri and its elite, who were Indic with Hurri, mixed Hurri-indic or Indic names. Much later, the Habiru absorbed many Semitic speaking people in Canaan, and when the Israelites appear, much after the decline of Mitanni, the word Habiru gradually becomes synonymous to Israelite (Hebrew. Abraham was called a Hebrew, because he did live for a while in Habir-u lands when he left Ur). There may be a connection between the words Habir-u and the later word Khabur (Valley).
Even today, right in the heartland Khabur area of former Mitanni lands and present Kurdistan, the most prestigious clan has the name "Sindi"!
