	Edwin F.Bryan
		OxfordUniversityPress, 2001), explores a contested historical period that is extremely important to the sensitivities of traditional Hindus and many Indian scholars -- the antiquity and origins of the Vedic (Indo-Aryan) language and religious culture.
		Many scholars from the subcontinent insist on an indigenous, and more ancient and sophisticated origin for the Vedic Hindu culture than critical scholarship has so far allowed.
		This debate over Vedic, Indo-Aryan origins has developed into one of the most contested issues in Indology.

	The Homeland of Indo-European Languages and Culture: Some Thoughts
		This is hardly tenable with the concept of the Indo-Europeans having been the original inhabitants of this area.
		While such a stand absolves the proponent from producing proof in terms of the material culture as well, one has yet to be fully convinced of the hypothesis that a language can keep on spreading from area to area, without involving the language-carriers, viz.
		Further, had the Sanskrit-speaking people not been the original inhabitants of this region, we would have got evidence thereof in terms of a substratum language, which we really do not have.

	The God Who Drank Urine
		Moreover, the allusions to ego-loss and the "dissolving the boundary between confusion and sanity" imply that amrita was originally a powerfully psychedelic substance and was used as such in the context of Buddhist initiations.
		It is especially worthy of note that the "secret water" referred to by Rangdrol is glossed by his commentator as "urine" and, in the case of Baro Vihardhara it is explicitly stated that the initiatory liquid is urine.
		Flattery and Schwartz] makes an interesting and original point when he argues that both the Vedic culture (in India) and the related Avestan culture (in Iran) made use of substitutes for a sacred potion.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture
		At first it was assumed that India was the original home of all the Indo-Europeans.
		Soon, however, Western scholars were contending that the Vedic culture of ancient India must have been the by-product of an invasion or migration of "Indo-Aryans" from outside the subcontinent.
		Bringing to the fore those hitherto marginalized voices that argue against the external origin of the Indo-Aryans, he shows how Indian scholars have questioned the very logic, assumptions, and methods upon which the theory is based and have used the same data to arrive at very different conclusions.

	The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture - The Indo-Aryan Migration Debate
		The only complete and up-to-date survey of the evidence and arguments for and against the Indo-Aryan migration theory, this volume is of crucial importance to the study of early Indian history and the origins of Vedic culture.
		The problem of Indo-Aryan origins has vexed scholars in both India and the West for well over a century and has touched every nerve of both academic and political discourse, so much so that many in the West have automatically dismissed any arguments to come 'out of India'.
		Edwin Bryant's 'The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture' investigates how these two worlds of scholarship came into being and systematically exposes the logical weaknesses of most of the arguments that support the consensus on either side.

		Apparently this bit, Walton’s Spitfire Fugue, is the surviving remnant of an original score by Walton that was commissioned for the entire film and could have been a Shostakovichesque modern masterpiece.

		And the Vedic literature may be quite a bit earlier than the conventional date of 1500 BC that is given to it.
		In their quest to demonstrate this new idea, these scientists are finding themselves in stiff debate with others who argue that the approach amounts to barking up the wrong tree.
		For example, English is Germanic in origin, but the Norman invasion of England in the 11th century resulted in many French terms joining the language.

		One of the tenets of the conventional, European view is that a group of Indo-European-speaking nomads entered India around 1200 BC and then proceeded to spread their language and culture throughout the northern half of this subcontinent.
		Bit by bit he examines the evidence that has been brought forward in support of the theory and displays just how inadequate it is. Most of the "sure things" invoked by scholars through the centuries, right up into the last decade, are not sure at all.
		Many could easily be used to prove the opposite theory, that the language and culture of northern India developed in place, as it were, from some vague Paleolithic or Mesolithic beginning.

	A Peaceful Realm : The Rise And Fall of the Indus Civilization
		That is the Indus and the Vedic people are the same.
		It does not confine itself to just a dry description of artifacts and excavated towns - the discusion is skilfully supplemented by insights from cultural and social anthropology and other tools of theoritical archaeology.
		The author does a commendable job in showing the survival of the vital traits of the civilization down to our present times in India and Pakistan - whether it is houseplanning, village carts, ladles and coonches for pouring oblations in sacred ritual fire and so on.

		Naturally, Hindus in California were offended by this offensive treatment of their religion and culture.
		But, in the same breath, they concluded that this is an unacceptable Hindutva initiative, which must be opposed tooth and nail.
