How is all this diatribe related to the fact that AIT (not AMT) is a discarded theory, and jati vyavastha has nothing to do with imagined external conquests?

- yywwbbn 4y agoSo you’re claiming that the Indo-European migration/invasion of Northern India is “imagined”?
- ummonk 4y agoNo. They're saying that an invasion that came and imposed a caste system is imagined. It was a reasonable hypothesis a hundred years ago but has long since been discredited. Migration on the other hand is the current consensus theory.
- tomrod 4y agoThe statement was not a diatribe as it was neither forceful nor an attack, but I see that you perceive it as such and hence recommend re-reading it under a steelman approach. 1. My statement points out to another population that still has class-based bigotry from prior conquests and migration 2. If you note, you brought invasion into the conversation after my initial comment which neither supported nor refuted AIT, AMT, or other migration theories. I really don't care which theory people believe, because, ultimately, however history unfolded, it's today's Markovian state of the world that holds highest weight.
