[quote]You also need to refresh on the outdated and no longer supported theory of the Aryans being some sort of invading group.  That has long been debunked.[/quote]

Oh please, we aren't going to start on that. It has only been debunked by Hindu nationalists.  The accepted position among scholars of linguistics, etc is that IE speakers came from outside India. [/quote]

Here's a paper from the University of West Florida debunking the Aryan invasion theory: http://uwf.edu/lgoel/documents/amythofaryaninvasionsofindia.pdf

Stephen Knapp refuted the Aryan invasion theory in his book, "Advancements of Ancient India's Vedic Culture" (look at that, a non-Hindu nationalist debunking the Aryan theory!). Here's the relevant excerpt: http://www.stephen-knapp.com/aryan_invasion_theory_the_final_nail_in_its_coffin.htm

Here's the BBC admitting that the Aryan invasion theory was a myth: https://web.archive.org/web/20060705184146/http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/hinduism/history/history5.shtml

Genetic testing on South Indians and North Indians denies a historical migrational split: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Aryan-Dravidian-divide-a-myth-Study/articleshow/5053274.cms

Here's a Harvard study debunking the Aryan invasion theory and concluding that it was a myth: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/drishtikone/2009/09/aryan-invasion-theory-myth-large-harvard-study/

Doesn't it just suck when you can't justify your appropriation with "science" and can't scapegoat all the Aryan invasion theory dissenters as "Hindu nationalists"?[/quote]

There are way more papers supporting it.    [/quote]

Wow. I read all the academic citations that you quoted to refute the long list I provided, and now I am thoroughly impressed by your ability to back up your racist bigotry with "way more papers" and also refute the specific genetic, historical, linguistic and sociological arguments in the academic and scientific studies I listed.
