Biography
Jean Haudry was a French linguist and Indo-Europeanist who specialised in Sanskrit, Vedic studies, and comparative Indo-European grammar. A professor at the University of Lyon and director of studies at the École pratique des hautes études, he founded the Institut d’études indo-européennes and published extensively on Indo-European mythology and cosmology, notably proposing the three-sky model, which is often mentioned in handbooks of Indo-European studies.
"In his “Que sais-je?” on the Indo-Europeans, which is a follow-on to a first volume almost entirely devoted to Indo-European linguistics, Jean Haudry describes an ideal proto Indo-European society, which for the most part belongs to the realm of fantasy as becomes more and more obvious as the book progresses."
"Senseless controversies (racist, or so-called racist, versus antiracist) into which they wanted to drag me and in which they unscrupulously used me, have been blighting my life since December. Indeed, under the direction of linguist Jean Haudry a “Centre d’études indo-européennes” (Centre for Indo-European Studies), which is both mediocre and compromising, has been founded at the Université de Lyon-III. Jean Varenne lords over it. Furthermore, a group of Jews, some young and some not so young, are busy composing sadly authentic Protocoles . . . Look at the journal—4 issues per year—Le Genre humain and the Léon Poliakov publication that appeared in Brussels (with Olender as editor!). How miserable!"
