Axe,Baltic_BA rather than Central Steppe_MLBA(which Aryans were associated with).The Aryan ancestry(Sintashta/Srubnaya/Andronovo derived) among most Indo-aryan speakers ranges from ≥8%(Bengalis) to 17-30%(most of N-W & UC groups) to ≥40%(Hindu Jats,Rors) rather than the claim.

Horseshit actually, made by some ignorant wignat(not even true from pop genetics POV). The only people who have less than <5% Aryan DNA are modern Europeans(except groups in Russia), some Dravidian & Munda groups. Most Europeans got their steppe ancestry from Bell Beaker/Battle

Only those who think Indo‑Aryan = Vedic and don’t think beyond Vedic find it idiotic.

According to the Latyāyana Śrauta Sūtra, the Vratyas had a special cart called the Vipatha (basically a cart). This cart of the Vratyas was also known as the Prachyāratha a.k.a “eastern chariot” as opposed to polished,ritualized Ratha(chariot) of Vedics

Rich Mahayana,Theravada Buddhist missionaries need to work their asses off to spread/preach Dhamma zealously to stop these Indians from abnormally converting into foreign non-Indic religions.
Savarnas fear nothing more than when marginalized people reject their casteist oppression through conversion and achieve a dignified life.

wherever she goes. In Buddhist iconography white elephant often symbolizes auspiciousness, purity, pure/controlled mind as opposed to a gray/black elephant which represents untamed mind,torpor,negativity. This eventually blends the whole Gaja + Lakkhī/Sirī/Lakṣmi vibe, but

That's not Shakyamuni's mother(her depiction is very different). That's Lakṣmi a.k.a Lakkhī/Sirī in Pali who is a Buddhist devadhītā(the daughter of Heavenly King Dhataraṭṭha), mentioned in suttas,jatakas. Sirī is directly linked with bringing fortune,success,positivity
The first picture is of Buddha's mother Mahamaya (3rd Century BCE). The second picture is a painting of Mahalakshmi (1896) made by Raja Ravi Varma.
