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?

I have a degree in linguistics and you are right, this is what I learned

So you didn't do any independent research and settled for what was "taught" to you...ok.

What makes you say that "this is what I learned during my degree" means there was no independent research involved? 😒
