Agreed with everything in this post (excellent post by the way), especially the irrelevance of the Pashtun POV. I started this thread out of curiousity, as a comparison between the Pashtun vis-à-vis the Indian mentality. Indians have in the past argued that India was the proto-Indo-European urheimat. This is not uncommon with other modern Indo-European speaking ethnic groups, that they argue a geographic poition based on their own ethnic background.

Of course, although the Out-of-India camp usually campaign for the "indigenousness" of the Aryans rather than Proto-Indo-European itself.

If a pro-Indian PIE perspective exists, it will be thoroughly contrived and unscientific given the lack of anything distinctly Indo-European which isn't Indo-Iranian before 1000 B.C.

Has this thread met your objectives, by the way?

There are only two possible places, the BMAC area in central asia/north afghanistan or Anatolia

For sure it is somwhere arround the Caspian sea, if You lok with that almost all theories agree.
I Think genetically it seems in an aspect that Armenian highland, Anatolia or Western Iran will fit well, in the sense of Y chromosome haplogroups.
