Re: Out-of-India - From Theory to Truth: Part 2

So, any migration before 10K would become 'Dravidians'? Don't follow you... The only questions that matter are: 1. Is there any real distinction between Aryan and Dravidian family languages or are they both part of the same larger family? I think answer is more likely to be the latter - but can't b...

Thanks for that answer about 10K. What is the 'Dravidian' entry date? Another mystery to be solved....according to many Dravidianists Elam spoke a Dravidian language. In which case entry date would be linked to fall of Elam. More likely though - both ASI and ANI are indigenous to Indian subcontinen...

Re: Out-of-India - From Theory to Truth: Part 2

So, any migration after 10K would prove AIT? Why only 10K? Why not 20K or 30K? Most markers of modern-day civilization are associated with last 10K years - including agriculture, urban settlements, all religious scriptures, writing, grammar etc. If Sanskrit is not indegenous to India over last 10K ...
