Why has the academic establishment not explored the infinitely obvious similarities between Hindu (even the Puranic stuff, which is late Vedic) and Norse mythologies (which I must say is much different from the rest of the IE mythology)?

Warning, I have no sources.

However, I would like to point out that most of our knowledge of norse mythology was written down after a millennium of mixing with Roman mythology and, to a lesser extent, Christianity. It is an open question how much the norse religion was originally related to the PIE beliefs and how much was introduced or changed with the Romans.

However, the parallels are definitely there and I'm sure there is some interesting research out there.
