This kind of childish name calling and use of epithets regardless of what you may or may not think about the person with whom you are having a debate, is not acceptable in this forum. As a moderator , I encourage debate based on information that you are willing to share, and to reason your conclusions based on facts. Opinions are interesting but not of value when you are having a debate on such matters.

Further you exhibit a very opinionated view of nationalists (which is your prerogative,but then you would have to define what you mean by a 'nationalist idiot'. Do you mean that nationalists are bad and nationalism is worse ? If so what about the nationalism of stalwarts like Gandhiji who was very proud to call himself a nationalist as was Jawaharlal Nehru. Or is it the case that nationlists are idiots only when they disagree with you ?

As for Sanskrit not having originated in India ,you offer no proof except that of an Argentinian , who with all his love for Sanskrit may know didly squat about the linguistic development of various languages in the Indian subcontinent. It does not matter where a language originated from, but if there is no extant representative of that language in Turkey or anywhere for that matter, such a theory makes very little sense to me. I have been to 4 continents but i have yet to find a person who can chant the vedas (much less an ancestral tradition of such chanting) with the fluency that any ordinary pandit can do with relative ease
