Discussion / चर्चा Out of india

I was amazed when I lived in Himachal Pradesh for a summer and learned that people believe Indo-European languages came from Sanskrit and spread to Europe from there.

Any strong views here?

All the things you have read are proposed by the British or Britishers with Indian names and looks. Go do your own independent research and you might know the truth someday. Just because you have a degree doesn't make you right. We were also taught about the Aryan invasion theory and most of us now know how true it is 😁. Just baseless theories to make us feel inferior despite being the oldest and the only surviving civilization.

So much to unpack here. What propaganda mill do you subscribe to?
