Mr. A. Chandra writes now:
********************************************************
over the narrow invective let loose here by Sri Ganesan,
********************************************************
On New Year Eve (31-dec-98)I saw the GENEROUS remarks on me
by Sri Asishji in Indology:
*but you are one BIASED individual Sri Ganesan. And you have
only a one-point agenda*
Also, I happen to observe the generous, multi-faceted, learned
views of Shri Ashishji several times in Indology. He really has
some multi-pointed agenda.
Mr. A. Chandra continues today:
<<<<
to Sri Ganesan letting loose his barrage against everyone
ranging from Sankara Matths to Bodhayana to Indians who come to the West
to "1) to get a job in the West; 2) to push
unsustainable dates for Veda, Giitaa, Westward expansion of Sanskrit
from
IVC" and to " get the money/job from the West whose inventions directly
come from scientific thinking and which all humankind enjoys."
>>>>
I said what is within the quotes, that's all.
1) I see Indians come to the West to get jobs
and 2) Some Indians, with total disregard to
modern academic scholarship, push unsustainable
dates for Indic texts.
I feel there is a definite dichotomy here because Indians do
science at work, but maintain the status quo of
caste patriarchy elsewhere. Is it why the scientific
way of analyzing Indian past where most data are ahistorical
NOT encouraged by the Patriarchy at the top of Indian
society. I am positive that Unless analytical approaches are
widely made available on Indic past, the amateurish
Indigenous Aryan school will be pushed with force
onto the masses of India, mostly poor and unlettered.
I never said that I am adamantly holding or stubbornly
clinging onto AIT. Sri Ashishji was insisting few times.
In the end, he wrote "apology to sri ganesan".
I said that Indians come to the West in search of jobs
and some Indians push unsustainable dates for Indian
texts against all the evidence collected by research
in the West. No doubt, I point out the (submerged) Dravidian
contribution to Indic culture, most likely a very
major component in IVC. Is it OK, Sri Ashish,
to pursue that?
Want to hear more about narrow invective
of the BIASED individual who is often singled out?
Regards,
N. Ganesan

It is quite natural that you should expect to hear from scholars of
Indology Dr. Ganesan. Anyone who does not agree with you is not a
scholar
is it ? You had mentioned that Dr. Subhash Kak used to write here on
Indology a few years back ....
>>>>>
Please see Indology archives. I gave what Dr. S. Kak
writes about Vedic civilization in Anatolia in 7500 BC.
Do you want me to believe that story?
I read that paper of Dr. Kak because it is published
in a prestigious Indian jl., ABORI. Also, the conclusion
is something like "European designation of Dravidian
languages as different from IA is mAyA".
Please remember there are 1000s of Indigenous Aryan
schoolers active politically, in newsgroups, on TV,
mounting websites, ... Hardly any to counter these guys'
wishful thinking.
Sincerely,
N. Ganesan
