@jenzhuscott No one is trying to insult, just pointing out how the random misinformation about Indian "caste" system feels. Anyway, call it what you want, legalized birth based discrimination is caste, whether you like it or not or call it something else
@AgentSaffron Really though, if "not peer-reviewed" is the only criticism you have then the paper already proved what it needs to. (there are no other arguments left so peer-review is used as a appeal to authority fallacy, "if the so called experts don't review it it must not be real")
@indicahopes@AgentSaffron Exactly, I don't get the obsession with peer-review. If the only good argument is it's not peer-reviewed then the paper already won
@AgentSaffron Peer review has no meaning, it's old researchers protecting the old knowledge at any cost. Groundbreaking research rarely goes into peer-review. Peer review is literally for academics who want to get jobs in universities.
@LinusMixson@yajnadevam Mainstream academics or scholars are better understood as the gatekeepers of existing research which was done by some of them before they became mainstream scholars.
This is why "mainstream" consensus always lags far behind the evidence
Dude, The Kerala School of Mathematics already did calculus, and used it to calculate planetary trajectory, this was a century or two before Europe. Now before you resort to the argument of newton formalized, just switch places, imagine if europe had kerala school and we had newton then it would have been opposite, everyone would agree Kerala school is the inventor of calculus and discoverer of gravity.
You have been brainwashed to always cater to the Western world.
@VedaBhayankar@Param_Chaitanya Came here to say this, I honestly thought Taxila was a different place I had no idea it's Takshashila ๐ I had never hear this aglicised version when I was a kid
I hope you know that this trend is to prove exactly that what you call Indian caste system is just societal classification that the British exploited and mislabeled. The Chinese constantly post about it out of context so Indians are proving the point by giving them the taste of their own medicine
@tppwastaken@spandrell4 Yes, the scholars don't like to admit it because it will ruin 10 other fake things that they have peddled for decades https://t.co/T186MZzsJy
@spandrell4@tppwastaken "scholars" spend entire lives attached to ideological fantasies and then defend their work the same way, that's why the consensus always lags so much
Academic scholars have always been a joke, publish papers peer reviewed by a circle jerk that wants to publish their own papers
@spandrell4@tppwastaken Aryan invasion is completely debunked, even the mainstream consensus was long changed. There is no "invasion". Even AMT will be out the door soon enough. There is already too much evidence it's mostly just lagging main stream consensus (as usual)

@spandrell4@abledoc@StevenGlinert "If" is for "If scholars will accept something that shatters their worldview and forced narrative"

I have learned more about how SVC was Hindu from this and other Pakistani accounts - I really think this and those accounts are pro-Hindu disguised as Anti-Hindu - by posting easily debunk-able lies they do two things 1. get locals in India to protect their culture 2. make other attempts which are real to steal the Hindu heritage futile
