The debate of consequence isn’t between the nationalists and archeologists abroad - it is between nationalists and the southern states. Dravidian politics for the last 75 years is largely centered on this, and is the only remaining wing that can reliably beat Hindu nationalists.

This piece misses a big chunk of the debate and frames ASI too simplistically. You’ve used a Proto-Dravidian photo to lead the article but frame ASI as “ye poor conquered natives.” I think the more interesting debate isn’t about the origins of PIE but on the actual age and progress of ASI people.
