The more 1 looks at it from a zoomed-out vantage the more it seems that the reckoning alluded to here will come like the swelling of the sindhu upon the H, perhaps within a decade. While the yuga chakra is always turning this could be the turn that crushes manasataramgini.wordpress.com/2022/06/12/vik…
many an onlooker under it. The last major war the H fought on their own behalf was the 1st war of independence in 1857 CE. At the same time, a Jihad was also being fought against the English. This thoroughly confused the H & those confusions persisted over the last ~165 years.
~100 years back the confusion resurfaced over the matter of the lord of turuShkasthAna, the ChAyA of the ekarAkShasa on earth. The resulting irruption was only broken because the English were then the lords of the world & turuShkatva briefly challenged ekarAkShasatva. Imagine its
replay from the very same nidus when you are not the lord of the world, only middling power &the mlechCha is aiding & abetting the marukarbura. Would it be closer to the replay from ~75-76 YBP? To paraphrase Goel, the H were not yet collectively brain-dead but going forward, like
a Rag1-deleted man, the H could face a million little eruptions from within; the vice-like press of mlechCha allies of the marUnmatta; the -ve externalities of the blind adoption of mlechCha economic/organizational/transportation models; the corruption of the elite by navyonmada
; the falling human capital & numbers of the elites (?); regionalistic chauvinism & the cost of pan-Indian identity(?); urban concentrations of assets where the inimical forces would be dominant. The reckoning could turn out to be prachaNDogra for H civilization.

Some parallels might be seen jambudvIpa: the success of the Turk-led jihad set the H back by at least several 100 years. While I haven't seen an comparable analysis of pottery or tiling, 1 can look at technological proxies. the va~Nga country -- 1 of the most productive provinces
at the height of H power (e.g., look at gupta & post gupta inscriptions down to the sena-s) had some distinctive metal work that survived partly in Nepal& chIna. It completely became extinct in core va~Nga& magadha where the pAla-s once held sway. Irrigation works in both north&
south collapsed for several centuries. e.g. see: manasataramgini.wordpress.com/2010/07/31/mah…

Finally the much talked about "Southern Arc" paper of LAZARIDIS etal has been published. Below are just some preliminary comments based on the authors' statements & results in the main text (nothing deep). 1st some background: 1. We have good evidence that the likely phylogenetic
model for the languages including Indo-European & Anatolian is Indo-Hittite (Indo-Anatolian), i.e., Anatolian branched first, then the rest of IE split up from PIE. 2. Balto-Slavic was a likely sister group of I-Ir in a ``satem'' clade lodged deep in IE. 3. Greco-Armenian &
Italo-Celtic were likely solid clades as well. 4. All these non-Anatolian branches can be clearly traced to the steppe on philological/archaeogenetic grounds. 5. So far the Anatolia archaeogenetics has not revealed a strong steppe signal. 6. The authors have assembled hundreds of

Image of nIlalohita rudra holding the corpse of the buffalo-demon hAlAhala from ahichChatra. The kShetra of the rudra is however the holy kurukShetra. There are 3 buffalo demons in H tradition: 1. The oldest is mahiSha slain by skanda; 2. mahiSha slain by kumArI vindhyavAsinI Image
3. hAlAhala slain by nIlalohita rudra.The archaic skandapurANa provides that tale. Even as the 5th head of brahman uttered the incantation:
कापालिन् रुद्र बभ्रो .अथ भव कैरात सुव्रत |
पाहि विश्वं विशालाक्ष कुमार वरविक्रम ||
nIlalohita rudra desiring to furnish himself with a skull
He is said to have placed this skull at kurukShetra and his gaNa's raised a great uproar. The asura-s led by the buffalo demon hAlAhala then challenged them &were killed by the rudra's retinue. Then nIlalohita offered the flesh of the buffalo demon a feast for a bevy of ferocious

This is a stub for a future note on Iranic lunar deities. The marUnmatta al-shahrastAnI, an adherent of the founder of the Assassins, Hasan bin sabbAh ironically recorded a fragment of a lost Iranic puruSha-sUkta-like origin mythology, where ahura mazdhA speaks in 1st person
ahura mazdA: "I created the whole of this world from myself. I created the souls of the righteous from the hair of my head; the sky from my brain; nails and arms ...(?) from my forehead; the sun from my eye; the moon from my nose; the stars from my tongue; sraosha &the rest of
the yazata-s from my ear; the earth from the sinew of my foot." ~based on Shaked. The moon deity here is mAh which appears to be spelt as MAO in the kuShANa coin and is usually depicted with the moon, a club & a sword. There is another deity seen on kuShAna coins & rare Roman

I'm twting his with some reluctance not because I doubt any of the stuff uncovered here but because it engages in unnecessary vanity boosterism of certain individuals involved. It seems there is some money involved here & money to be made by some which has
science.org/content/articl…
given it the high profile airing it is getting. The primary reason for twting this out is that biomedical research & more broadly branches of molecular biology/biochemistry allied with it are rife with such cases. Indeed there clear examples where the same tabloids like Science&
Nature & other sensationalist venues of the Cell family have done absolutely nothing to correct a lot of the fake science they have published. The impact of recent pandemic on biomedical research/production, the rise of ML-based methods & the money flowing into certain research
