Marutash is known to have been the name of a Kassite deity being written with the correct determinative, but there is room for doubt that it is Sanskrit. Most of the names listed at [[Kassite deities]] are actually just someone's guess or assertion that they were Kassite deities, never written with the deity determinative, for instance From "Karaindash" (apparently a name for Babylon alongside Karanduniash), someone has isolated "Indash" from the second part, as being the Vedic god Indra. Most of these weak claims surfaced in the 1930s and 1940s and were calculated to impress a 1930-1940 audience, but they are not so obvious to scholars today. It's almost as if someones life in the 1930s and 1940s had depended on being able to prove Kassite was Indo-European, to see the laughable claims they make to that end.

: yes claims made that kassites were indo european is definitely a scholarly dishonesty, and linking few dieties to indo european kassite is very wrong, the culture spreads without the spread of genes or people, there maybe doubt that kassite gods maybe vedic sanskritic, but there are mitanni sanskritic gods which boasts the claims that kassites might have worshipped indian dieties, seeing how india is close, it might not be a miracle that some indian dieties and their religion penetrated the west asia like mitannis. surya, maruta, himalaya etc and one kassite name shows that they may have embraced vedic religion. it often happens when someone embraces islam or christinity, one changes his name to that religion. regards.
