PV Iyer,
Nobody has forced you to respond. My questions were not meant for someone who wants to talk based on current practices, personal observations, intuitions, or aura, etc.
My questions were meant for those who already have some background knowledge of vedic history. To make matters worse, you speak of things totally unrelated to the topics of atharvaveda and laukika-vaidika brahmins. You even bring in things like genetics when it is rather obvious you know little / nothing on that subject.
I would sincerely suggest that you keep away from topics on which you know little / nothing of. Please take this as a friendly suggestion only. Not something to get angry about. For example, I do not participate actively when Sangam literature is being discussed. I may post a few inputs based on whatever little I had come across, but am aware of my zero knowledge on that subject and therefore i do not go on to make an argument out of something i have no idea of.
Also, nobody asked about your family. You might as well have a good look at yourself at the way you made baseless accusations and the questions i have asked Shri KRS in this post:
http://www.tamilbrahmins.com/genera...impses-south-indian-history-49.html#post73638 [Shri KRS ji, am still waiting for your response on that because it does pertain to moderation].
My questions were based on
1) Atharva-Veda and
2) Difference (if any) between Laukika and Vaidika brahmins.
Nowhere on these 2 subjects have i used Sadasivan's book as a reference on this thread. I have already mentioned that i do not accept anything just because it is in print. Acceptability can only come with verifiability; based on footnotes, verses from vedic literature, inscriptions and such historically acceptable sources.
I do not know why you are after that particular book now. I feel you may be particualrly interested in discrediting Sadasivan's work because of his points on tamil brahmins of kerala. Instead of picking selective sentences, you might as well make a new thread and discuss Sadasivan's work throughly.
