Asko Parpola is repaying his debt to the Dravidian party by coming up with more wild ass theories. Its the same old theories on wild asses, missing horses, the Aryans coming on the dot at 1600 BCE to drive the Dravidians down south, the seals, etc. The world has dropped the aryan invasion theory; the migration theorists say the aryans could not have come after 2500 bce and keep pushing the date even further into the past. But chindu keeps promoting such wild asses.
