Spot-on. Let me illustrate this with an example.

Take Narasimhan, Reich et al.'s paper titled "The Genomic Formation of South and Central Asia". It suffers from a number of glaring issues. The study is based on ancient DNA from 612 individuals from various regions and periods: Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, the Steppe east of the Ural Mountains, including Kazakhstan, and the Swat valley (Indian subcontinent).

Great to see Roger Penrose win the physics Nobel, at last. No one deserves it more. While it's great to see Roger Penrose win the physics Nobel, let's take a moment to remember the great theoretical physicist E. C. G. Sudarshan, who was shafted at least twice by the Nobel committee.

Lies.

It's the CHAMPA SEA, not the South China sea.

It is named after the Kingdom of Champa - a Hindu Shaivite kingdom that ruled present-day Vietnam for 1,500 years.

The Champa kingdom - a vassal of the Indian Chola empire - had COMPLETE Jurisdiction over the Champa sea. The Champa kingdom's navy controlled the trade in spices & silk in the Champa Sea between China, Indonesia & India.

China has ZERO historical relevance/claim to the Champa sea.

China's asinine claims are based on fabricated history & deserve little more than contempt.

The #Coronavirus outbreak is assuming apocalyptic proportions.

China is most likely hiding the true scale of the epidemic.

India should immediately:

- Suspend all trade with China &
- Stop all travel to & from China

until they bring the situation under control. The cat/rat/bat's out of the bag: China is underreporting the true scale of the deadly #coronavirus outbreak, expert says.

The total number of infections is likely vastly greater than that reported by the communist regime.

Why do Indian Institutes of TECHNOLOGY need humanities & "social sciences" departments?

One look at faculties' research interests reveals the same divisive agenda & atrocity studies that plagues leftist snakepits such as JNU & TISS.

We must stop nurturing anti-India forces. In the IITs today, you'll find:

- Million-dollar, state-of-the-art washrooms & conference halls

- Flourishing, well-funded humanities departments

- Obsolete, two-decade-old equipment in the science/tech labs

We're sacrificing science at the altar of anti-India humanities.

@narendramodi Yes, Prime Minister.

Jawaharlal Nehru's immense contributions to our nation must never be forgotten.

The Yamnaya people - tall, muscular, brown-skinned, brown-eyed, dark-haired horse riders - alleged to be India's "Aryan invaders" - are now being categorized as the "most violent group of people who ever lived".

dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar… Honest question: If the irredeemably violent Yamnaya were indeed India's alleged "Aryan invaders" (as claimed by David Reich & some journalists), why is there no evidence whatsoever of a violent invasion?

Did India's air and water magically civilize them?

Astounding discovery: The Sindhu-Sarasvati civilization (IVC) produced world's earliest known printing plates.

True printing was 1st discovered in the Indus-Sarasvati Valley at least 1500 years before any other printing process was recorded elsewhere.

ancient-asia-journal.com/articles/10.53… Nine copper plates were discovered. The copper plates superficially resemble large Indus Valley seals, as seven of the plates bear an image of an animal or person, plus reversed text. Two of the copper plates bear only mirrored Indus characters boldly engraved in two rows.

Interesting new study on the genomics of South and Central Asia. The study's dataset comprises 612 ancient individuals, including 65 from the Swat Valley (present-day Pakistan).

biorxiv.org/content/early/…
public.tableau.com/profile/vaghee… The data was co-analyzed with genome-wide data from present-day individuals, 1,789 of which were from 246 ethnographically-distinct groups in South Asia.

I'm often asked to recommend books on Indian history, culture, etc. but am unable to respond to each request individually.

To address those numerous requests, here's a thread on India-specific book recommendations. Philosophies of India by Heinrich Zimmer.

A book that was edited and published by Joseph Campbell after the author's death.

Excellent both as an in-depth resource book & as an overview to understanding Indian spirituality.
