Is Asher a murderer? 1st Agathon, now UR. Is anyone safe once he declares vendetta on them?

We did not start this. It is the people wishing to divide India who try to incite people against Hinduism, and against Brahmins, who cause trouble. This is a reaction to that. A political response to a political problem. But it seems that the scholarly response is equally powerful, and most importantly, true.
The linguistics favor AIT. The archeology is neutral (doesn't favor either AIT or OOI). So net, net: AIT has more credibility. The OOIers are (in general) sort of like creationists...not really looking at the evidence objectively.
If you want to make a science argument for OOI make it. But whining about the political implications of AIT or whining that people put it there for political reasons, is not a science based argument for OOI over AIT. It's political whining.
These people claim that the Brahmins are Aryans, the lower castes are original inhabitants, and that is why Brahmins are oppressors not just because of caste, but just because of birth -
But thats just silly even if AIT is true - it identifies nationality with race, and doesnt admit of cultures aborbing each other, and of the way nationality is rooted in culture. Its like the idiots who think that if they can show substantial racial connection between the Khazars and Ashkanazi Jews, it would mean the Ashkanizim arent "really" Jewish - as if the Jewish nation were defined purely by blood, and wasnt always open to religio-cultural absorption of others into its national being.
The fact is, Hindu civilization was built IN India, and apparently had elements native to India, and imported elements, and that it became historically the civilization of all India, and of almost all Indians. AIT is not relevant to that narrative.

An Asher/KH vendetta would be absolutely hilarious.
I suppose in a matter/anti-matter sort of way.

These people claim that the Brahmins are Aryans, the lower castes are original inhabitants, and that is why Brahmins are oppressors not just because of caste, but just because of birth - that is, a Brahmin is a oppressor because of his genes, there is nothing he can do about it, and he does not belong in India because they claim he is of Aryan descent.
Consummate rubbish, because regional genetic variations have been found to be far greater than caste variations, but still used to incite anti-Brahmin and anti-Hindu hatred to serve each petty political party's agenda.
To compare - this is far, far more and worse than even the most rabid Hindu nationalist will ever claim about Muslims.
People like me oppose this sort of politics, and if it turns out that the base of this theory itself was false, all the better.
This is just an assertion of how you think the other side is politically biased. It is not an argument on it's own of what happened. Something with comments about word order in languages or such would be. Sheesh.
I hope you are not a Brahmin. Because if you are, that means Brahmin smartness is not like it's supposed to be. Maybe just the stubborness.
