Witzel is the product of the >philology that began deconstructing the Vedic

language to find evidence of >Aryan migration. This led to deconstructing the

language further to find >proto-Dravidian. Now he adds another level of

deconstruction to find >proto-Munda. > >Such deconstruction finds only what it

presumes in the first place because >the Rig Veda is a linguistic document of

unparalleled antiquity, complexity >and connections. Linguistic connections can

be found between the Vedic and >languages all over the world and of many

different eras because of the power >of the Vedic Vak. > >Such people don't

read, understand or appreciate the Vedas. They are just >digging through the

words trying to find something non-Vedic in it. > >Because of such scholars and

their wrong methodology, western Vedic >scholarship of the past more than 100

years has been an almost total failure. >It has made no real progress in

understanding the Vedas or reclaiming our >Vedic heritage. > >Vamadeva > >
