And here follows a list of people with political, social and economic axes to grind. Wow, apparently, all of the examples I have just happened to be from the political right and/or aligned to the evils of ‘Big Business’!
Come on, if you’re going to accuse people of having an axe to grind, don’t do it in the service of having a political axe to grind.
As someone deeply familiar with the debate around IE languages and entire Aryan Migration to India vs Out of India theories I would like to point out that author is way out of his/her depths on this matter. There is a lot of serious work and theories around both sides of the debate and neither side has conclusive evidence. Calling one side baseless by somehow attributing it to political motives is plain stupid, especially when plenty of non-Hindu scholars like Dr. Elst have contributed to the either sides of the debate. One of the foremost and original proponents Aryan Invasion Theory was Mr. Tilaak who was a Hindu nationalist.
While I am not qualified to comment on rest of the article; I think it is clear to me that the author has her own political biases and might not be analyzing things in dispassionate way. The thing with science is that the people who push the boundaries of science often seem outliers and mad folks. When Galileo was being harassed he appeared mad to everyone else, now in hindsight we might think of the Church as a mad organization but that was not the case then. Similarly, the university system, peer reviewed journals, main stream media etc. could be a modern day church.
True science will always win because it is on the side of the truth.
