When populations are in completion for resources whether they are from a self identified group (tribe, clan, nation, religion, ideology) group or not, the interaction depends on many factors.
- Numerical strength
- Technology
- Group identification both ethnicity, culture and ideology
- Group cohesion
The above-mentioned factors greatly influences as to who gets to “eat and live in better conditions” than the other and has the political, temporal and economic power to sustain this “imbalance” in the long run. Throughout the world we see the same dynamics of nomadic people tested in warfare overrunning sedentary population again and again. Once these “formerly” nomads settle down to enjoy their newfound wealth they are in turn are over by newer hungrier Nomadic groups. This cycle would have continued unabated if not for the advent of modern nation states and industrial revolution.

Agreed. The thesis is accurate.

We have to look at India in this context. Further the cycle of nomadic invasions has taken place over a period of 3000 –3500 years so we have to take peel away many layers of racial, cultural and linguistic layers before we can get to the “truth”. Inspite of the new spin by some Indian and allied foreign “experts”(?) that there is no racial difference between the haves and have not, the rest of the world accepts the following facts
**
Regardless of the “have” vs. “have nots” there will always be a dichotomy between Aryans vs. Non-Aryans as long as there is Hinduism.

- There were/was an epochal nomadic invasion that changed the basic racial, linguistic and cultural make up of the Indian sub continent over a period 2000 years. This change is still continuing and is variously known as Sanskritization.

While the once common man’s language becomes no one’s language in India, **Shastry and his team of volunteers have succeeded in making people of three villages, Mattur and Hosahalli in Karnataka and Mohad in Madhya Pradesh, adopt Sanskrit as their language for communication. He also points out that people in some tribal villages of Lahaul and Spiti in Himachal Pradesh talk in a language called Chinali which essentially is Sanskrit.
"India was ruled by foreigners for over 800 years. Before that Sanskrit was the court language all over the country. However, during Mughal rule the language suffered the most as Hinduism itself was under attack. Then the British came with their goal to rule the country and they in a systematic manner tried to kill Sanskrit, the fountainhead of the Indian culture.
While they closed down all Sanskrit schools and started English education, Sanskrit as a language continued to be taught but through a changed grammar-translation method which was both tough and outdated. However, their untiring efforts have started paying off, as the Central Board of Secondary Education has introduced pilot projects in 600 schools across the country where Sanskrit is taught through the communication method while the University Grants Commission has plans of introducing from this summer simple methods of teaching Sanskrit in various colleges.

2) Varna system was superimposed on an already existing Jati (guild) tribal, clan divisions with the only purpose of maintaining the political, temporal, and economic superiority of the invading people and maintain the imbalance in consumptions as well as living standards. **
Lies…there is no record of jatis or any other sub castes (In order to have sub castes you need to have a caste system duh!) in the Indus valley or any other Dravidian dominated areas in pre Aryan era. The Aryans are soloey responsible for bringing in the caste system to maintain their high status in India. Varna was/is one of the most racist systems present in the world today, dividing India by race.
