The Out of India theory (OIT, also called the Indian Urheimat Theory) is the proposition that the Indo-European language family originated in the Indian subcontinent and spread to the remainder of the Indo-European region through a series of migrations. A notable proponent was Friedrich Schlegel. The Out of India theory builds on the idea that Aryans are indigenous to the Indian subcontinent[7][8] and its recent revival in Hindu nationalist writing has made it the subject of a contentious debate in Indian politics.[9][3] These recent "OIT" scenarios posit that the Indus Valley Civilization was Indo-Aryan and uses mainly evidence from Sanskrit literature. Their main proponents are Flemish freelance Indologist Koenraad Elst (1999), taken up by Shrikant Talageri (2000) and strengthened by arguments of University of Cambridge human genetics professor Dr. Toomas Kivisild in his 2003 and 2007 works. When the finding of connections between languages from India to Europe led to the creation of Indo-European studies in the late 1700s some Indians and Europeans believed that the Proto-Indo-European language must be Sanskrit, or something very close to it. A few early Indo-Europeanists, such as Friedrich Schlegel,[10] had a firm belief in this and essentially created the idea that India was the Urheimat of all Indo-European languages. Most scholars, such as William Jones, however realized from earliest times that instead, Sanskrit and related European languages had a common source, and that no attested language represented this direct ancestor.

Türken, einer der drei Zweige der altaischen Völkerfamilie, der sich gegenwärtig in seinen einzelnen Ausläufern von den grünen Gestaden des Mittelmeers bis an die eisigen Ufer der Lena in Sibirien erstreckt. Ihre Urheimat ist Turkistan, von wo wahrscheinlich schon vor Beginn unsrer Zeitrechnung mehrere Stämme nach verschiedenen Richtungen ausgezogen sind und sich den einzelnen Eroberungen der hochasiatischen Völker angeschlossen haben. Schon von den Römern gekannt, haben sie gleich den Mongolen große, mächtige Reiche gegründet, das Römerreich gezüchtigt und ganz Europa in Schrecken versetzt. Die Throne Chinas, Persiens, Indiens, Syriens, Ägyptens und des Kalifenreichs wurden von den T. in Besitz genommen. Man hat zu den T. die jetzt nicht mehr existierenden Petschenegen, Kumanen, die Chasaren und Hunnen zu rechnen, gegenwärtig gehören zu ihnen die Jakuten, die sibirischen Tataren, Kirgisen, Uzbeken (Özbegen), Turkomanen, Karakalpaken, Nogaier, Kumüken, basianischen T., Karatschai, die sogen. kasanschen Tataren, Osmanen (die von den frühern Seldschukken abstammen), Dunganen und Tarantschi; sprachlich sind hierher auch zu rechnen die Baschkiren, Tschuwaschen, Meschtscherjäken u. Teptjaren im südlichen Ural und an der Wolga. Mit Ausnahme der Jakuten sind die T. durchweg Anhänger des Islam, alle sind trotz der vielfachen Eroberungen nomadisierende Hirten geblieben, die sich aber bei gebotener Gelegenheit in verwegene Kriegshorden verwandelten. Gegenwärtig versteht man unter T. gewöhnlich die Osmanen (Osmanly) und bezeichnet die von ihnen eroberten und beherrschten Länder als Türkei oder türkisches Reich. Vgl. Vambéry, Skizzen aus Mittelasien (Leipz. 1868); Derselbe, Das Türkenvolk in seinen ethnologischen und ethnographischen Beziehungen (das. 1885); Radloff, Ethnographische Übersicht der Türkstämme Sibiriens und der Mongolei (das. 1883).

This song is dedicated to Darfur. I am helping to spread the message! Darfur (Arabic: دار فور‎ daar foor, lit. "realm of the Fur") is a region in Sudan. An independent sultanate for several hundred years, it was incorporated into Sudan by Anglo-Egyptian forces. The region is divided into three federal states: West Darfur, South Darfur, and North Darfur which are coordinated by a Transitional Darfur Regional Authority. Due to the Darfur Conflict, the region has been in a state of humanitarian emergency since 2003. Darfur is conjectured to have been part of the Urheimat of the Proto-Afro-Asiatic language in distant prehistoric times (c. 10,000 BC), though there are numerous other theories that exclude Darfur. Most of the region is a semi-arid plain and thus insufficient for supporting a large and complex civilisation. Whilst the Marrah Mountains offer plentiful water, the Daju people created the first known Darfurian civilisation based in the mountains, though they left no records beside a list of kings. The Tunjur displaced the Daju in the fourteenth century and introduced Islam. The Tunjur sultans intermarried with the Fur and sultan M. Solaiman (reigned c.1596 to c.1637) is considered the founder of the Keira dynasty. Darfur became a great power of the Sahel under the Keira dynasty, expanding its borders as far east as the Atbarah River and attracting immigrants from Bornu and Bagirmi. During the mid-18th century the country was wracked by conflict between rival factions, and external war with Sennar and Wadai. In 1875, the weakened kingdom was destroyed by the Egyptian ruler set up in Khartoum, largely through the machinations of Sebehr Rahma, a businessman who was competing with the dar over access to slaves and ivory in Bahr el Ghazal to the south of Darfur. Camp of Darfuris internally displaced by the ongoing conflictThe Darfurians were restive under Egyptian rule, but were no more predisposed to accept the rule of the self proclaimed Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmad, when his forces defeated the British forces (that has just invaded Egypt in 1882) in Darfur in 1883. When Ahmad's successor, Abdallahi ibn Muhammad, himself a Darfuri, demanded that the pastoralist tribes provide soldiers, several tribes rose up in revolt. Following the overthrow of Abdallahi at Omdurman in 1899 by the Anglo-Egyptian forces, the new Anglo-Egyptian government recognised Ali Dinar as the sultan of Darfur and largely left the dar to its own affairs except for a nominal annual tribute. During the First World War, the British became concerned that the sultanate might fall under the influence of Ottoman Empire, invaded and incorporated Darfur into the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in 1916. Under colonial rule, financial and administrative resources were directed to the tribes of central Sudan near Khartoum to the detriment of the outlying regions such as Darfur. This pattern of skewed development continued following national independence in 1956. To this was added an element of political instability caused by the proxy wars between Sudan, Libya and Chad. The influence of an ideology of Arab supremacy propagated by Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi that began to be acted upon by Darfurians, including those identified as "Arab" and "African". A famine in the mid-1980s disrupted many societal structures and led to the first significant fighting amongst Darfuris. A low level conflict continued for the next 15 years, with the government coopting and arming "Arab" militias against its enemies. The fighting reached a peak in 2003 with the beginning of the Darfur conflict, in which the resistance coalesced into a roughly cohesive rebel movement. The conflict soon came to be regarded as one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world. Over 2.5 million people have been displaced, many into camps where emergency aid has created conditions that, although extremely basic, are better than in the villages, where there are over 3.5 million people.

"Just a Little Piece Of Me" Album: Bootleg Her 8 (2007) http://cynthiawitthoft.blogspot.com/2008/01/cynthia-witthoft-bootleg-her-8-1993.html Gotyzm -- to nurt narodowo-kulturowy w Szwecji, według którego Szwedzi wywodzili się od średniowiecznego germańskiego plemienia Gotów. Obecnie w Szwecji hipotezę stojącą za tym prądem uważa się za sztandarowy przykład fałszywej teorii. Teoria ta pojawiła się już w średniowiecznych kronikach szwedzkich i została podjęta przez takie czołowe postacie szwedzkiej kultury jak: Johannes Magnus, Georg Stiernhielm czy Olaus Rudbeck. Nurt ten nieco osłabł na sile w XVIII wieku, jednak z pojawieniem się gotycyzmu w kulturze europejskiej i tendencji romantycznych na nowo zyskał na znaczeniu. ... Gotycyzm: The name is derived from Jordanes's account of the Gothic urheimat in Scandinavia (Scandza), and the Gothicists in Sweden believed that the Goths had originated from Sweden. Some scholars in Denmark also attempted to identify the Goths with the Jutes, however, these ideas did not lead to the same widespread cultural movement in the Danish society as it did in the Swedish. In contrast with the Swedes, the Danes of this era did not forward claims to political legitimacy based on assertions that their country was the original homeland of the Goths and that the conquest of the Roman Empire was proof of their own country's military valor and power through history. The Gothicismus movement took pride in the Gothic tradition that the Ostrogoths and their king Theodoric the Great who assumed power in the Roman Empire had Scandinavian ancestry. This pride was expressed as early as the medieval chronicles, where chroniclers wrote about the Goths as the ancestors of the Scandinavians, and it permeated the writings of the Swedish writer Johannes Magnus (Historia de omnibus gothorum seonumque regibus) and his brother Olaus Magnus (Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus). Both works had a large impact on contemporary scholarship in Sweden. During the 17th century, Danes and Swedes competed for the collection and publication of Iceland manuscripts, Norse sagas, and the two Eddas. In Sweden, the Icelandic manuscripts became part of an origin myth and were seen as proof that the greatness and heroism of the old Geats (in this sense, the ancient Germanic tribes) had been passed down through the generations to the current population. This pride culminated in the publication of Olaus Rudbeck's Atland eller Manheim (1679--1702), where he claimed that Sweden was identical to Atlantis. Cynthia Witthoft
