<!--QuoteBegin-acharya+Mar 4 2008, 06:59 PM-->QUOTE(acharya @ Mar 4 2008, 06:59 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->As far as the Aryan-Dravidian dichotomy is concerned, it must be remembered that âAryanâ and âDravidianâ are linguistic and not racial terms. There is no pure race, and Aryan and Dravidian speakers have been in contact with each other in South Asia from the start of their encounter.
This statement is repeated over and over that it is linguistic speakers but why do they make it a group of people who can conquer other people. They should not be talking about conquering people when language cannot be used to conquer people.
This encounter of two different language speakers is very strange since these two groups do not have any historical markers. The entire creation of this group is a manufactured image and carried forward for decades without anybody questioning the authenticity of the theory.
The start of the encounter between the two groups is also arbitrary. There is not date or reference for why that perticular date is chosen as the encounter between the two groups.
This two groups and their story of encounter is a fascinating fantasy which has been accepted by the elite in India for more than 100 years.[right][snapback]79260[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Let's try some profiling here, rather applicable as the whole Oryan game is based on the psychology of infatuation with a make-believe and disenfranchisement induced by the same.
Parpola is obviously merely trying to superimpose the dichotomy of Europe onto India. The lately introduced languages of Europe (presently thought "Indo-European") invaded the Finno-Ugric, Basque and Pict spaces. As the victim (Parpola is Finnish), he feels an affinity/identifies with my Mother Tongue and waxes eloquent on it, insinuating that I've "had to learn to live with invaders as well". Nahah. India is one population with many sub-ethnicities - all Bharatiyas - and many languages, all Bharatiya.
Like the "IE" WitSSels, Victor Mairs and Roger PearSSons of this world who identify with the non-existent Oryans, Finnish Parpola (who is excluded from that clique by nature of the lately-invented Oryan dichotomy) is forced to condescend and anthropologise on me/TN. Thanks, but the door is that way.
I have no desperate need to find where I belong, like the recent disenfranchised of the new Europe have to (the New Europe is the one built on the theory of IE and not-IE). I already belong, I have always belonged (and will continue to belong even if I ever foolishly got convinced of falsehoods that claim otherwise). I know my Bharatiya family who are my community. And it's all historical - not built on modern fantasy like the Oryan/non-Oryan tales are.
Only advice I have for people like Parpola is to stop playing that Oryan/non-Oryan game - it's the only way they can snap out of the unwarranted feeling of inferiority they let themselves be cornered into. Until there's actual proof for the Oryans (don't hold your breath), he can just keep ignoring the non-existent 'invisible' ball sent his way by the fantasists like Mair et al. And to keep himself entertained, he can salute Brits uniformly with: "Hey Basque, how are ya?" and be right in most cases.
