From the department of the bloody obvious. English has nicked from hindi, as from every other language you have come in contact with (as we all do). From avatar, bandana, bangle, chit, cot, bungalow to sentry, shampoo, thug and toddy.
If you should purge all words not from "Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Norse and closely related kindred peoples" you would get a very short dictionary indeed. Oh..they are all Indo-European languages? Ok, let’s stick to grunts then.
The Paris connection? Kama Sutra obviously.
