The Origin of the Indo-Iranians (Kuz’mina 2007)

[Guest guest]

Kuz'mina 2007 Indo Iranians in the file section. Majority of the

references are outdated. Author uses references from late texts to

link the steppe " chariots " to the Vedic culture. A section is

anachronistically titled " Horses and Chariots in Hindusthan. " Godavari

is misspelled as " Gadavari (p. 337). " Fiction of the charioteering

Mittani " Indo-Aryans " has been blow away by Dassow (2008). The author

absolves V. Sariandi and herself of any political motives (p. 303), but

readily accuses Out of India theorists of being a " nationalistically

charged intelligentsia (p. 298). "
