Chavda): On June 16, 2017, an article appeared in The Hindu titled &#8220;How genetics is settling the Aryan migration debate&#8221; by Tony Joseph. This article claims that the question of the origin of the Indo-Aryan people has been &#8220;settled,&#8221; based on the findings of a research paper that was published three months ago. In this response, I will go into some detail to refute Joseph&#8217;s claims. There are a number of reasons why Joseph&#8217;s claims and conclusions are incorrect.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s article is typical of India&#8217;s leftist has-beens: devoid of original research, based on other people&#8217;s work, presents subjective opinions rather than hard results, and uses far-fetched and convoluted logic to make biased and untenable arguments that are unsupported by scientific evidence. It is perplexing that The Hindu published the article without fact-checking it. It is even more perplexing that The Hindu employs non-scientists to write articles about hard science, and presents their subjective opinions as facts.<\/p>\n<p>Full lengthy rebuttal at &#8220;source&#8221; above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source INDIA, June 22, 2017 (India Facts by A.L.
