I do care, and I do require an answer from you if you are serious about your theory. else take your story elsewhere. By your line of argument circles exist in every civilization and hence Hindus cannot be credited the invention of Zero. This kind of logic is laughable and hence cannot go around in the guise of an "argument".

I have absolutely no motive nor the means to do my research to debunk an already invalid statement. As you made the claim, the onus is upon you to provide the data, else please accept that you are stating your gut-feeling without any data to back it up.

With the discovery of Ancient cities - 9000 years or older - off the coast of Gujarat and a 7000 year old city as far as Poompuhar in Tamilnadu, the whole Aryan Dravidian theory does not hold water. There is a common link for the Indo European Language system, and the origin more indic than nordic or slavic.

This is laughable. You have to read Stephen Oppenheimer's bradshawfoundation articles, and journey of mankind. Caucasians have influenced zilch genetically. They are the descendants of Indians and not the other way around. Check this out:

Linguistic evidence has the following logic: I speak english, I come from India, hence english originated from India. This is what Proto-indo-whatever theory does.
