I never claimed to know it all, I simply said that Indian elites spoke Farsi. And they did. You claimed otherwise. And you're wrong. End of matter, good day, hope you learned something from the experience. Please don't reply with some insipid ad hominem until you can prove that Indian elites didn't speak Farsi.

Indian 'elites' r Hindu my friend. U seem confused, so let me spell it out to u.
83% of the 800 million people of India are Hindus. Around 11% Muslims, over 2% Christians, just under 2% Sikhs, Buddhists surprisingly less than 1%, Jains 0.5% and the rest (Parsees, Jews etc) less than 1%.

Hinduism

Hindu religious literature was produced in successive periods of history, the earliest of which was the Vedic period between 2500, BC to 600 BC. It was during this time when the Sanskrit speaking, blond hair and blue eyed people the Aryans, wrote the four VEDAS or books of knowledge. u seem confused.. Farsi is a Persian language from Iran, Afghanistan and other stans...Sanskrit is the language of Hindus and the derivative of the Aryans.

Interestingly 'Farsi' as word in hindi language is used to connotate something which cant be generally understood. Similar to the use of word 'Greek' in English language (Eg. What you say is all greek to me)

I dont know where you come from, but alognwith poor knowledge you have a bad attitude as well, lethal combination ;)
