    What's Shashi mentioned are just tip of the iceberg. There are several words that orignate from ancient Indian subcontinent languages (e.g.: Sanskrit and Tamil) used globally by many current languages. My favourite one is Ma (mother) which originates from Sanskrit.

      @@spilltea4241 on what basis do you assume that Sanskrit is a Proto-Indo-European language?
      Did you know that Indian scientists have already disproven the age old theory of Aryan Invasion via DNA/ genetics research. The centuries old theory that was imposed by the Western colonial historians without an iota of evidence is now finally been scientifically refuted. And the correct version is that people from the old (Indian subcontinent) civilizations migrated towards Persia and other places in Europe. And further research is ongoing in the field of linguistic origins... More evidence will show that majority of European culture/ linguistic roots came from the Indian subcontinent and not vice versa.

    Defenestration was a common way of disposing of unsuspecting rivals in Europe in the middle ages. You would call them in for a conference and then let gravity do the rest. In the movie Braveheart, Edward Longshanks chucks his homosexual son's lover out of the window. Look up the defenestration of Prague, circa 1500.

    Look up the word "barnshoot" which is a mispronunciation of the most common and vulgar insult in north India launched against a man. It was adopted by the British army in India, traveled to Britain, and has disappeared from English since the British left India. Nobody knows or uses it now, and I would be curious to know if Dr. Tharoor knows of it.

      🤦Sanskrit belongs to the Indo-European language branch. On the other hand, south India languages belong to Dravidian group that is not connected to any Indo-European languages. While south Indian languages like Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada later had heavy Sanskrit influence, Tamil still remains an original one that's not connected to the Indo-European branch. This is basic knowledge when it comes to world languages. There is no dispute over this.
      Only a brahmin supremacist would contradict this and make nonsensical claims.

    (Mango word was created from an illiterate man) A British officer during the British Raj in India. One day a mango seller was walking by the road beside British officer's hose, shouting Aam le lo.......(it means "buy" the (Aam) mango). Officer told his servant in english, call the man who is selling the fruits. Servant did not understood what man go means, because he didn't know english. so officer repeated. man go bring here with hand gestures. So man went and bring the fruit seller in house.
    Since then, when ever any mango sellers will go by that road, the servant will call laud to officer man go .. man go.. man go. He understood that "man go" means Aam fruit. So that officer added a new vocabulary man-go as mango in dictionary . That man-go word means Aam in Indian languages. Isn't a nice story.
