== Denial == 

 I removed the claim that the Indian response was a non-denial denial  as it was not supported by either source. It is not appropriate for wikipedia editors to decide whether something is a non-denial denial, we need a WP:RS to do that. In any case, I question whether it can be characterised as a non-denial denial given that they said it was 'misleading' and 'figment of the imagination'. Also I removed the mention of the fact that they did not 'refute' as it was also unsupported by any source and it seems unnecessary to mention it in any case. Just mention what was said by the Indian government and researchers about the theory and let readers decide
