no scientist or writer can accurately predict the consequences of a particular truth being withheld: history is made up almost entirely of unintended consequences.

Indian culture is not synonymous with, or identical to, ‘Arya’ or ‘Sanskrit’ or ‘Vedic’ culture. ‘Arya’ culture was an important stream that contributed to creating the unique Indian civilization as we know it today, but by no means was it the only one. There were other streams that have contributed equally to making Indian civilization what it is.
