Looking at all those beautiful pics I am going to send a message to MoD and IAF that all aircraft should be painted bright yellow, red and pale green so that they can be seen clearly in photos with sky as background.

There must be good amount of lift from those wide wings on LCH. Have they considered these for Rudra? Why would the Rudra need more lift from wings? Not mocking - but just curious about your line of reasoning. In the LCH the lift, if any will be counteracted by stores on the wings that count as drag.

So, to throw away this "hope" I should expect that if Rakhigarhi aDNA shows up, ADMIXTURE will show it to be Onge + Iran_N with hardly a trace of anything else?

All I am saying is - whatever the genetic findings - it has nothing to do with language - at least around 1500 BC

Rudradev I don't know if you saw my query on this. The Vagheesh paper in the line they use to describe AASI have used a reference to a paper called the Simons Genome Project by Mullick et al. I downloaded the paper and that paper speaks only of Onge apart from other non Indian populations (eg Oz abo...

As you can infer, I'm clinging on to hope that it won't be just the evidence of the Rg Veda itself that sets this straight. Some genetics data would be good too :). As to what that might be, e.g., if Rakhigarhi shows that tiny bit of green -- see Shiv's posting above -- that accounts for the Siberi...

Comment on my blog: " tim drake said... "It is likely is that a hypothetical Punjab_N population from even before agriculture would have been related to the Iran_N people, somewhere along a cline between Iran_N in Iran (whose aDNA has been found) and peoples in India's interior" -- A...

Agasthi, that statement needs to be blasted out on Twitter. Kindly do the honours and let us know your handle, or let shiv do it... and we'll all retweet the bytes out of it... Beautifully worded.

How much information about battle do we get from narratives of real battles and how much from video games? The difference as I see it is that all ships and aircraft have "expendables" that get expended and cannot be earned by mouse clicks. Food, water, fuel, lubricating oils, spare parts t...

Amazing image. they have managed to reduce the size of Barak to 10 cm diameter and Brahmos to maybe 20-30 cm. And they have fitted such a huge gun. Maybe railgun? Or railway inside gun.. The entire 8 Brahmos launch area would fit inside the footprint of the gun turret alone. Compare with the "m...

These "experts" simply copypaste what can be found on Google just like news about Casmere was - for a decade "800000000000000000000000000000 cvilians killed and preganent wimmens had their bellies rippyed open"

I heard that one Tejas in the recent exercise took 23 seconds to take off rather than 21. I hope this is not a worrying thing given that 21 or less should be the norm according to my late cousin with whom I spoke a few days ago. Also why did they use only 4 out of 5 Tejas. This is very worrying to m...

Good Stuff, Dr. Shiv. Thanks Nilesh. I expect it to appear on the biorixiv site soon. I think 90% of Indians who learn about Aryan "invasion" or "migration" miss the woods for the trees. They fret about the migration part - which is unimportant. What led to the rewriting of our ...

I do not intend to question the genetics findings of the Vagheesh et al paper because I am not a genetics researcher and I have myself not gone through all the details of the paper to critique its methodology.

I am glad the OBOGS is an O2 concentrator system and not a generation system as that could be fire hazard. Most likely a N2 absorption system.

You are right, genetics does not correlate with language movement, but if gene studies were to show that there was no sudden influx of "alien" genes into the Indian population, that's an argument against AIT, right? There have always been migrations into India. India is too attractive a l...

It asked "How are all Indian groups a combo of Steppe, Iran etc DNA?". Basically, if India was already heavily populated, how do you explain a handful of Nomadic pastoralists to pass their genes onto enough people that practically all modern Indians carry it? As far as I am concerned - if...

Vagheesh has asked for comments at length on biorxv. I will draft a comment here and then post it on there. Arun - would you like to take a shot? If I get inspiration in the next few minutes my draft comment will appear here first.

Arun, Vagheesh has asked for everyone on Twitter to join hands and send him a document explaining how languages are related from Delhi to Dublin. This is a tall order on many counts, especially considering that we were discussing a genetics paper until he made linguistics conclusions and some of us ...

That was a pun on the word "bogs" an outdated slang word for toilet
