Dear

Namaste.

I am
sure you are loving and honorable like my father in law.

 

Perhaps
you have not read the book “Vedic Aryans and the Origins of
Civilization, 2001” by Navaratna Rajaram and David Frawley. Since you have read
so many scholarly books, reading one more book may be a good idea. The book
debunks the theory of the Aryan invasion of the India. It gives a range of
perspectives and evidence on the issue. If I were a scholar like you I would
pay attention first to the paradigm shifting theories.

 

If you
have any questions perhaps you may like to contact the writers. I could not
find contact information of Dr. Rajaram. However, Prof. Frawley is in Santa Fe,
NM (Email: vedicinst@aol.com,
Telephone: 505-983-9385)

 

Meanwhile you may be interested
in a few of the web sites:

I think
you missed my point. I did not minimize the contribution of the Kirati to the
evolution of Hinduism. Matter of fact, that is what I wrote. These kinds of
studies come always with healthy debate and differing views. It takes some time
to shift wheat from chaff and derive a standard theory. Perhaps currently it is
going through such mode.
