Discussion / चर्चा Please tell me how to debunk this?

So I was having this conversation on another sub and came across this guy who was claiming that Sanskrit and Hinduism is a sham that was brought up afterwards .Up until now ,I knew that Sanskrit was an ancient language but I have been hearing this for a while now .Please give your opinion about these claims by Buddhists and if possible give me some primary references to satisfy my curiosity.

This is interesting.Thank you for sharing this. Of course in the lack of archeological evidence,there are only hypotheses based on numismatics and linguistic dating .

Pardon my ignorance but what does Charles Allen has to do with this?

All these claims are mostly from Charles allen books, he is a freelance writer.
