All,
I have opened this thread specifically for a discussion between yours truly and Shri Sidharth Chhabra.
We will do it via comments to this blog post. Each one of us will wait until another person has had the opportunity to respond (i.e. no tow consecutive posts from one of us)
You are all encouraged and welcome to watch it unfold. You can not and should not participate by adding your comments, in this thread.

Dr. Koch wrote this piece, after he decided not to continue our (Koch and Oak) conversations that were taking palce via email (with many prominent Indic researchers, copied, on the back and forth communcication). If relevant I will quote the pieces from our communication when Dr. Koch left the conversation.
My summary of this conversation is in 10 blog articles, here:
