@DrDavidMiano Saying the Saraswati didn't dry up because the Ghaggar still flows today is like looking at a dried-up puddle where a massive lake used to be and claiming the lake never disappeared.
@DrDavidMiano Why tightly cling to the theory of “Aryans” in the first place? Migrations are inevitable in human history. Persians, Jews, Zoroastrians have always migrated into Indian subcontinent till modern times due to various reasons. Why academia still persists “Aryan theory”?
@DrDavidMiano If we strip away the colonial baggage, and the political weaponization, why does the term “Aryan” still exist in academia? From a purely objective, data-driven perspective, there doesn't need to be a distinct "Aryan" race or people at all!
@DrDavidMiano Genetics tracks the movement of biology, not the birth of a civilization. There is no physical evidence for an Aryan invasion or Migration theory—it remains a pure hypothesis driven by colonial and ideological politics to delegitimize an unbroken, homegrown Indian heritage!
@DrDavidMiano Historians basing their claims on DNA markers (R1a haplogroup) as “proof” for the “Aryan Migration” is deeply flawed. A DNA strand cannot speak, write poetry, or practice a religion. Finding a biological chromosome from the steppes does not mean that person spoke Sanskrit! ++

@DrDavidMiano The 19th-century European scholars who invented the "Aryan" theory (like Max Müller, Sir William Jones, etc) were not secular scientists. They were deeply religious men operating within a strict Biblical timeline. ++
@DrDavidMiano Legitimate democratic pushback against a deeply entrenched, academic bias vilifying Hinduism, by tagging “Nazis” - calling Hakenkrauz, christian “hooked cross”, Swastika to assign guilt on a civilization over crimes it never committed, is not an attack on the academics.
@DrDavidMiano Even in a hypothetical scenario, a historical conclusion can never be an absolute, unshakeable truth! The conclusions of a historian is always subjective interpretation. What looks like an obsession with "truth" from the outside is often an obsession with professional survival.
@DrDavidMiano Transparent pivot. I mentioned missionary associations and you jumped straight to ‘genetic background.’ We can all see the strawman. For someone pushing ‘secular academic standards,’ this bad-faith escalation is embarrassingly obvious.
