Seeing related posts too, but those who have followed the k'stan issue for a while know that it is not a purely (probably not even primarily) TSPian project. It is a mahAmlechCha deepstate project contracted out in main to its pa~nchanetraka subsidiaries like laNDapura& karNATa.
The deeper roots go back to 1857 CE when an H coalition under marahaTTa leadership with the Mogol remnants made one last attempt to rid the subcontinent of Abrahamoanglo dominance gained via the Anglo-marahaTTa & sikh wars. It was part of the larger global series of events for
Abrahamoanglo world conquest. The Crimean war against the rUs, featuring the well-known mlechCha-marUnmattAbhisaMdhi, the opium wars on the Ching, the Boer war, the world wars 1&2 were all part of the same system of their quest for world dominance. Challenges by Germany & Japan
to their world dominance allowed India to break free from their tyranny although not intact because the Mogol rump state also resurrected itself as TSP & Afghanistan as the remnant of Dur-e-Durran's state. Now there was the natural sarvonmatta-samAyoga against the heathen H. WW2
saw a change in leadership & methods of the Abrahmoanglo world. It shifted from direct conquest & "colonialism" to a predatory model of sowing chaos, destruction & interference mostly in distance. The rUs & chIna-s went through enormous human cost to limit these efforts. India
fell somewhere in between them & those who were destroyed or ruined in one or another way. IMO the Indian model was not bad. It was militarily weak, in addition to the ekarAkShasa-s had the chIna threat & was poor in key natural resources for modern warfare. Moreover, it had
already paid an enormous human cost to the Mogol rump during the partition for no gain at all, i.e., not declaring & acting as a hindu-rAShTra. Under these circumstances it to a large extent maintained its territory to the chagrin of the pa~nchanetraka-s who hoped it would break
up. The Indian state took its blows but retained its hold. Its growing power & independence has defied the pa~nchanetraka attempts. However, this does not mean that it would not face an ultimate nirNaya against its 3-headed foe like the legendary trishiras tvAShTra

@Anand_Venkatram @Sapratha by the state. However what is of interest to me is the so-called muskrat: you are right that it is a wrong translation. sutra goes thus: शाल्मली विदारी धान्य सिद्धो मूल वत्सनाभ.सम्युक्तश् छुच्छुन्दरी शोणित प्रलेपेन दिग्धो बाणो यं विध्यति स विद्धो.अन्यान् दश पुरुषान् दशति ते दष्टा
@Anand_Venkatram @Sapratha दश.अन्यान् दशन्ति पुरुषान् ||
word is ChuChundarI which should be correctly translated as shrew. Why it is of interest to me is that kauTilya was ahead of his times & probably the first one to record a shrew toxin. To date the Haitian solenodon the European water shrew, the
@Anand_Venkatram @Sapratha Mediterranean shrew, the American short-tailed shrew,&the East Asian shrew have been shown to be venomous. The American shrew's toxin is related to a toxin of the gila monster & the East Asian shrew's main toxin is related to a snail toxin. No one has studied the toxicity of the

As part of our study of the vulgar register of Late Old IA we found the Skt cognates & attempted identification based on that & a lexicographic search. We paste that below:

This seems to be the massive book form treatment of Zoller's hypothesis. While I have not read the book, I have read his paper on the same. Entirely independently, based on some obvious linguistic signals &multiple lines of philological evidence, I have always favored the idea of
the Aryan invasion in multiple waves along with the initial straddling of the steppe and the subcontinental zones. His provides a new version of the Inner-Outer IA hypothesis. Essentially he posits that only the inner lects are descendants of Vedic & subsequent Sanskrit while the Image
the outer lects are descendants of distinct para-Vedic lects that had some archaisms inherited from IE>I-Ir that did not come into Vedic& its daughters. Where we differ from his ideas is that the progenitors of outer lects had arrived in the subcontinent before Vedic -- they were

A bucket with the images of the ongod-s of the shamans of the Qorchin tribe of Mongols. They are the descendants of Chingiz Khan's brother Qasar & his followers. At the time of the rise of the Tungusic lord Nurhachi who founded the Manchu empire they broke away from their cousins Image
to join the resurgent Tungus & were major factor in their dominance & power down to the battles with the Europeans in China -- the last blaze of Mongol prowess. Their shamans curiously claim descent from Kököchü the shaman of the Khan who caused a major fight between him& Qasar
The Khan's wife later warned him of the rifts Kököchü was causing & he was eliminated by the 3 wrestlers when the shaman's brothers tried to fall on the Khan himself. The ongod-s, like those shown above, are the deities & ghosts that possess the shamans. They worship a subset of

Political orientation is something that rises from deep within; as we have noted before, it has a biological basis. There might be some truth to its relationship with polymorphism in odorant receptors. There is something like reaching your "preferred station" -- an equilibrium
Some people reach that point early in life (that was my case). However, due to environment, others might not immediately do so.The journey to the fixed point might be a gradual spiral or through chaotic fluctuations. Many go through chaos in the 20s/30s but in small number it may
take them till their 50s to get to their home. Yet they all converge. Because of chaos in the 20s/30s that several experience, their friends/fellow travelers might express regret or frustration over their "sudden change". In reality, they are simply finding their home. A careful

To put it politely early bauddha tantra-s incorporated material from H tantra-s which have been lost. For example, the ma~njushrIya mUlakalpa has the short mantra-s of the chaturbhaginI & mentions tumburu of the vAmasrotas. They are worshipped in a boat in the midst of the ocean
the chaturbhaginI & tumburu are also incorporated into the related bauddha text, the tArA mUlakalpa. The ma~njushrIya tradition has a kaumAra mantra keeping with the deity being called kumAra-bhUta or kArttikeya-ma~njushrI:
