There must have been distortions in the pronounciation of the chants by the parsis considering so few of them survived, they were driven out from their land and it must have been difficult to teach and propagate their customs and rituals accurately. So the 'Zend Avesta' that Perron wrote must be an...

It's funny how you twist my advocacy for pre-emptive action as fear. If taking pre-emptive steps to deny your opponent an advantage is called fear in your dictionary, then yes, I am losing both my shirt and my pants in fear. Absolutely true. want India to put boots on ground to kick his ass into su...

I seriously have no words to counter that line of thinking. Naturally. When you decide to scare the shirt off yourself you cannot think outside your box. You assume that the status quo will stay for some reason, what that reason is you don't specify. Nonsense. You say the oil terminal in myanmar wo...

I can't understand this headline. The Maldives are not extending their use of one of two Dhruvs and want a Dornier instead. What has that got to do with snubbing?

Regarding supply lines, that is what the bases springing all over the indian ocean are for. Look, the point of my post isn't to spread fear. You are not spreading fear. You are just displaying it.

First, they would be pre stacked with men and equipment. Secondly, navy. Not saying that these bases will be enough to launch full scale invasions but they will be nuisance enough that we will need to divert much needed equipment from up north.

Incidentally - the Swat samples were from 1000 BCE, 300 BCE and 1 CE. These were termed Indus periphery and were used to model all of India. This is just plain wrong. I will check where they got 140 modern day samples from India.

Yes, but what is plausibly hypothetical becomes much less plausible with even one paper, if the paper is correct . One has to account for all the language families, so one would have to say that they all developed on the way out of Africa 40K years ago. You probably know that in terms of science 1....

The argument that genes do not correlate with language is a truism; but can it work in this case? We'd have to postulate that there was a diffusion of Sanskrit or its precursors without movement of people from North India into Iran, BMAC and Steppes long before the Indus Valley Civilization (and fr...

The new 'findings' fit AIT to a 'T'. To me that's suspicious. 1. Timelines of steppe people into India - check 2. South Indians are IVC people - check 3.

"Top third" is an assessment like 85% of reports about damage to the Arihant are false. Let me guess what a pilot would mean by "top third' versus what I usually see BRFites consider as top . A combat aircraft pilot is in BRF lore someone who wants to drop the maximum number of bombs ...
