		<description>Dear Ina Brand. Thank you for your comment. But, could you tell me please what gave you the impression that &quot;I did not know&quot; about the Indonesian presence in Madagascar in historical times. That, if true, would be an unpardonable ommission on my part! Please read my book   Indo-Africa: Towards a New Understanding of the History of Sub-Saharan Africa. Cape Town: Juta, 1981, where I have chapters on this subject . C.A. Hromník</description>

		<description>Dear dr Hromnik,

I first became aware of your research about an &#039;Indian connection&#039; via Pieter Pelser&#039;s &quot;The hoax of Darwinism and the African Eve&quot; .
As a &#039;boorling&#039; of the Eastern Transvaal,  as that part of the country was called then, I myself saw some of the terraces and the circular &#039;buildings&#039; about which Michael Tellinger also seems to be exited.

Please carry on with your &#039;nonsense&#039; and give the &quot;beeskraal- academics&quot; [ who are they?] some &#039;gas&#039;.

Best of wishes.</description>

		<description>Cyril Hromnik what an amazing person.
I personally explored some  sites in Cape Town with Cyril and it was abolute mind blowing.
Those &quot;beeskrale&quot; academics let them remain &quot;beeskrale&quot;.
I would prefer for the youth to get involve in this debate to replace those &quot;beeskrale&quot; mentality.

Dr Cyril Hromnik, as a so called Cape Coloured (QUENA) I am proud of you.</description>

		<description>Hi Ina,

I&#039;m so pleased that someone has taken the trouble to comment !

However :

Firstly - I&#039;m certainly not an archaeologist, but a simple destination marketer who has had the good fortune to stumble across the marvelous world of ancient history in this region, as well as having had the privilege of sitting at the feet of a guru like Dr. Cyril Hromnik while he expounded on his fascinating discoveries in simple layman&#039;s terms to a new initiate in the wonderful world of Indo - Africa.

As a destination marketer it is my passion and mission to encourage any kind of debate on the destination around us in an effort to draw patrons who may be interested in exploring and experiencing whatever the region has to offer. 

Secondly - Dr. Hromnik is not an archaeologist either, but an expert in languages through which he has been able to trace the movement of the Indian Komates with their Indonesian slaves on a search for Gold on the African continent. Dr. Hromnik&#039;s comments on archaeology are that one cannot adequately research people&#039;s history or culture by rummaging through and analysing their refuse. 

Your comments on the Malagasy language having Indonesian roots is so exciting, and actually vindicates the comments of the American doctor who happened to mention that the people of Madagascar had Asian roots ! This is marvelous stuff !

You sound like a very knowlegable person in these disciplines, and I would welcome your comments at all points of the discussion. In fact I hereby invite you to join this blog on a regular basis and ask you to please submit any other material which could further this debate. 

We are looking forward to hearing more from you !

Kind regards.
