Note: This person has been flagged by 'Hindutva'Indians as a confused arrogant white supremacist who mis-represents India and Hinduism under the guise of "Scholarly Knowledge". -- This (mis)assessment should be compared with Professor Witzel's writings. The latter are highly technical & very scholarly. Thus they are not easily accessible.
