Just out of curiosity, do modern Hindu temples have sexual imagery like the Orissa temple?
If they do not, do you feel that Hinduism has internally changed since the temples were constructed?
Or do you feel that the use of sexual imagery was curtailed after Hinduism came into contact with Muslim cultural influences?

It speaks about ancient Hindu stone art.Not and language family or ethnicities.
You seem to be blindly prejudiced against dravidians

If you go through the tread clearly before making allegations, you can understand that it justifies only about the indegenous origin and antiquity of Indian stone art.It never claims the ownership of others arts.There are serious problems with your views about Indians.

well i have never seen anyone claiming that indians copied others, however it is clear that when present day pakistan was invaded by greeks, the people of that time in the northern part of the subcontinent borrwed from greeks and others. In pakistan (taxila) there is prime example of local architecture mixing with greeks, however in south india or east, they were far away from greeks invasion

Whether it is you didnt see or you didnt want to see...? There was a clear eurocentrism in everything including art,culture, science,astronomy & mathematics and almost everything during the 19th century and many are still claiming so[I have posted tread : History of Indian Mathematics in this regard]. In the first half of 19th century when mahabharatha and Ramayana was becoming popular in west it was alleged that it was a copy of Homer's Iliad and Upanishads & vedas were called pseudo-philosophy this was a clear racist attitude attributed by west.Major part of the rock art mentioned here predates the coming of greeks.And greeks,egyptians and mesopotamians had trade transactions with Indians from a time much earlier that this. And the style of Indian rock art is entirely different from that of west. You always seem to have a thing for west.Earlier in some other tread you mentioned that pakistanis are the descendents of aryans and dravidians when the Aryan Invasion Theory itself has proved to be a myth.And now you say the Indian art is contributed by west especially greeks.
