Martin Gibson is in the right of it, but I'll bite anyway. Here are some of the authors in my library with which I back up my views on India, quite apart from my studies at university and my travels. Please note I have not included the many travel writers in my collection, despite the fact that I find the words of thoughtful people who have been, seen for themselves and researched their travels infinitely more convincing than your pathetic Google-reliant flailings. John Stewart Mill Mark Tully (BBC correspondent in India for decades) Nirad C. Chaudhuri Norman Lewis (key founder of Survival International) Geoffrey Moorhouse Jawaharlal Nehru Lawrence James Ved Mehta Rahman Azer M.K. Gandhi Mir Hassan Ali Khan Kirmani Stanley Wolpert Lord Macaulay Christopher Hibbert L.N. Swamy R.V. Vernede Bhagwan Gidwani Prafulla Mohanti Phillip Mason Phillip Davies D.P Singhal Katherine Mayo Unlike yourself I do not like talking rot about what I know nothing about. 'These are not your theories'? If you don't know facts as basic as the relative positions in time of the Aryan invasions and the rise of Buddhism - which is like thinking that the Europeans were in Australia before the aborigines - how can you possibly differentiate between the agendas behind the plethora of Inda-related websites? Face it, you are stumbling in the dark. You haven't been to India, you haven't studied India, you have not had the humility to do any serious reading, and yet you think that doing a few blue clickies on sites which you are not in a position to evaluate gives you credibility.
