He was the founder of Zorastrianism/Mazdayasna actually(modern day Parsis of India follow the same religion).
Buddha-Mazda was syncretism b/w Buddha & the Iranian supreme god Ahura Mazda, a localized belief/artistic interpretation that emerged in regions where Iranic & Indic Image cultures overlapped(Eastern regions of greater Iran) during Kushan era. Ahura Mazda, in this syncretic depiction, is represented through the Buddha with a flaming /radiant formed by 2 rows of tongues of flame, embodying the divinity of light & fire, which Image

That’s a plain historical revisionism against Shakyamuni’s lineage. Shakyas were Khattiyas(Kshatriya in Sanskrit) and the scriptures leaves no doubt. Pretending Shuddhodhana was a farmer(kassaka) just to fit a modern narrative isn’t reality it’s delusion and twisting the Buddha’s Image

Also, according to Śākyamuni when he lived the home life, he had 3 palaces to live and enjoy. Only a prince could have that kind of luxurious and royal life.Khattiyas were essentially someone who had power via the ownership of lands, Image

The spread of Dravidian languages may have been mainly associated with Iran_Herder like ancestry who were the 1st to domesticate goats & sheeps. Probably why Dravidian & Elamite share almost identical terms for them.Iranian Farmer ancestry on the other hand may have spoken a Burushaski like language which according to Moorjani et al. 2024 is best explained by Sarazm culture. Even today, Northwestern South Asian groups show a high affinity to this farmer ancestry compared to Herder(which Dravidian grps show more), & Burushaski

I think one of the factor is also the use of local cow breeds(Desi) v/s European one. A lot of people who are lactose intolerant are actually sensitive to the A1 Beta casein protein found commonly in Holstein cows but in contrast many people who are termed as lactose intolerant end up reporting that they can digest the Zebu cattle milk(A2 β-casein) better which unlike A1 β-casein in Holstein milk, A2 β-casein doesn't produce beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7), which is a peptide often linked to digestive discomfort in some individuals.

I understand the concerns, sir, but let me clarify that I wasn’t involved in anything related to the accusation that have been made. The snippet I shared came from a spreadsheet I have, which I got through one of my acquaintance who have access to some folks who again have connections with well-known Indian pop geneticists or someone associated with labs. Given certain circumstances ,I felt compelled to post it.
As far I have heard, this data might hv originally been shared by someone associated with the lab itself, possibly out of discontent over

Andronovo(Fedorovo)culture stone circle burial.

Rig Veda 10.18.4 says:
I erect this circle (of stones) for (the protection of) the living, that none other of them may approach this limit; may they live a hundred years, occupied by many holy works, and keep death hidden by this Image mound.
Dead body cremation was also a key feature of Andronovo (Fedorovo type) ritualism & was widely practiced across the culture’s region,which have been linked to the cult of fire and sun, believing the funeral fire had purifying and regenerating power. Another thing is that

A huge patrilineal displacement of AASI(even before Aryans)!That's why most Indians carry the mtDNA haplogroup M, which is linked to the Out of Africa migration and represents the first migrants in the subcontinent, linked to AASI. In contrast, the paternal counterpart
Image haplogroups like F,C, are almost negligible in the Indian population & are only found predominantly among some South Indian tribal groups like Paniya,Paliyan. Instead,the most common patrilineal haplogroups in India today are R1a,L, R2, and J2 which r West Eurasian in origin

Proto-Jallikattu seal from Indus valley civilization?

In Old Tamil poems from Kalittokai, life in the pastoral landscape is vividly depicted, highlighting festive contests of bull grappling, known as ēru-kōḷ/ēru-taluvu. In these events, wild bulls with sharpened horns were Image released into an arena, where young men demonstrated their physical strength to win brides, often risking injury/death from being gored or trampled. This tradition of bull leaping still continues today in parts of South India, especially Tamil Nadu, where Image

Enarei from Anarya(effeminate/unmanly men) were an important part of the ancient Scythian society. They wore women's clothing, performed women's jobs and customs and spoke in a feminine manner..... They played an important role as priests and shamanistic soothsayers in the Scythian religion. The Enarei priests were especially consulted when the king of the Scythians was ill.

Those who don't have a good knowledge on Mahayana Buddhism shouldn't post things like this. Study about Trikāya(3 bodies of Buddha) concept in Mahayana: Nirmanakaya(physical/manifest body of a Buddha that has a form i.e.Shakyamuni), Sambhogakaya(body of enjoyment/reward nd is... bridge b/w formless nd material; eg. 5 Dhyani Buddhas), Dharmakaya(body of truth,formless nd is d personification of the truth itself, nd it is commonly seen as transcending(to go further than d usual limits of something) the forms of physical and spiritual bodies)........

The most famous of An Shigao’s works is Da Anban Shouyi Jing(The Great Ānāpānasmṛtisūtra)which addresses the breathing skill of inhaling and exhaling, which Taoists of the time were fond of. Da Anban Shouyi Jing was the first Buddhist meditation manual provided to China. Image An Shigao skilfully translated the text using Taoist terms in order to make them more appealing to Chinese sensibilities....👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻
