Nation vs Civilizational states:

A state is a government of a bounded geography. A nation state is one where the citizens look, speak and act alike. Nation states promote the welfare of the nation. Competing interests guarantee that nation states end up in constant warfare A nation state also finds it hard to expand its geography when its population grows. Its resources and influence, no matter how great are limited and will be found wanting in several areas. If the nation is small, then it will be easily pushed around, conquered and destroyed.

The story of Indian haplogroup R*

Basal R M207 seems to have formed in the IranN population during the last glacial maximum(LGM). Most of Eurasia was covered under mile thick ice sheet. Rivers were frozen. There were only a few refugia in Eurasia India, SE Asia, S Europe, Japan Image
Image
R1a M420 begins at 16200 BCE during the Oldest Dryas cold period. South India and Georgian refugium sustained the R1a population. There are tiny and spotty samples in Europe. Image

1. Societies evolve and devolve according to the pursharthas they focus on. Focus on kAma creates a decadent, warring and barbaric cultures where rewards are loot and women. Those focusing on artha become trading nations focused on hoarding wealth and showing off & corruption. 2. Those focusing on dharma become prosperous and righteous. Those focusing on moksha become ascetic and passive. Of these, only a dharma-focused civilization is durable against the onslaughts of the others.

Any claim that Indus seals are accounting should explain why there is no '5 fish' in the entire corpus but plenty of other numbers. Also, whats the point in having 2 and 4 next to each other when you could just put the numeral for 6? Image And what could this possibly represent! "1-2-1-12-wheel-wheel"! Are they buying wheels? How many? why write wheel twice? Just browsing the seals makes it clear that these "numerals" are not used in a numeric sense at all. Image

My commentary thread on this video summarizing current thoughts on Indus script:👇 1. fish depicts star because meen = min = shine = star. This assumes IVC folks don't know how to draw this shape>⭐️ something that humans have done since they were cavemen and opted for 3 levels of indirection instead.

Mohenjodaro seal M-304 is essentially Shiva from Ch 284 of Santi Parva, Ch 14,17 of Anusasana Parva of MahaBharata...

Caucasus as the origin of European languages existed since 1610! They thought Hebrew was the original tongue (based on Bible) ... When Sanskrit was discovered, they had to claim Brahmins came from Caucasus ... This is the biblical origin of the Steppe theory. Its religious dogma. lol ... Linguistics has been a 200 yr long cope since Sanskrit was discovered ... they HAVE to fit the homeland near Mt Ararat where the ark landed!

1. Sue Sullivan's decipherment is similar to SR Rao. She started with about 15 similar semitic symbols and guessed the rest. I'll explain differences in a thread: 2. Fundamentally, Sue's method results in a combination of logographic, syllabic and abugida. This by itself is not problematic given its the first writing in history and evolved over 1500 yrs.

Can we get a PCA qpchart with these DNA @agenetics1 @kadian_anurag.

It appears Pontic steppe was settled from BMAC Sarazam 3700 BCE > Kumsay 3300 BCE > Yamnaya_Samara 3300 BCE (dates from Reich). Basically they went along Amu Darya

Another branch went NE to Afanasievo 3100 BCE Image Note how this migration path is of relatively short hops, along easy terrain and does not have impossible feats like crossing Hindu Kush or unreasonable journeys like 3000km trek on foot to Afanasievo.

Aryans allegedly drove horse-chariots across Hindu-Kush (NW of map), a region so harsh that even today, modern SUVs or even tanks cannot drive over it and humans require oxygen and special arctic clothing to survive ... I'd like to see someone drive just ONE chariot over it. Most HinduKush is 7000-7700m elevation. Oxygen saturation at that level is ... around 30% ... Temperature in summer is 10F/-10C Can steppe warriors make it? Can their horses pull the chariots?

1/According to this essay, there is no one definition of dharma. Its a bunch of rituals and cause of social stratifications and was triggered by Greek contact. The essay is essentially an anthology of various statements by others and inaccurate and irrelevant dates.

Thread 👇: 2/Dharma is essentially the set of choices that are best aligned with Rta, the universal cosmic order. An article on Dharma that does not start with rta is without substance as described by Aabhas:

Amazing ... Eurasian Steppes, the place with 1 lightning event/km/year chooses their chief God Indra as personifying it! Even though thunderstorms are completely irrelevant to their way of life! Image Indeed, this all important God was forgotten completely in the Steppes! No idol, no song, nothing remains! Nor do any other part of vedic religion! How very odd.

Now that we have proven Indus scripts in Indo-European, we will proceed to decode symbols one by one.

We already know the symbol for gha in Brahmi, looking up all 2 syllable words that start with jaga or jagha, we find only one: jagat. The symbol looks like a rice field, possibly derived from गात्रा = earth/field

Extraordinary Claims of the Steppe narrative:
1. Yamnaya people developed a new language group instantaneously. Otherwise, there be PIE wherever they came from. Estimate for drastic lang change is 10K yrs. Yamnaya seem to have done it in no time. 2. Yamnaya first traveled from Black sea to Afanasevo in Siberia, skipping the warmer, more fertile 3000 km stretch of Pontic/Caspian steppe in between. IMO this is the most absurd claim.
