namaskarams: Valid comments and good debating points above, more food for thought: what i had in mind, when i looked at the 90 sec's presentation, was the 'age' of Hinduism, which is probably many centuries older than the 5000years+, suggested therein. a westerner's quote, familiar to many of us, Brahmins, says in essence that The Brahmin is the only person in the whole world, who can talk of his oldest ancestor, older by far than any other's ancestor -- this, i think, was in the context of a discussion on 'gothra' lineage, and saptha-rishi's and thence the facility of brahmins to trace back the ancestry to a point of time much further! quite an interesting debating point! regards&love, rj.
