Aryans: Invasion, Indigenous or Migration?

Eminent historian Romila Thapar talks about the origins of the vedic culture.

The claim that Aryans were indigenous to India has no scientific and scholarly backing.
It is just a nefarious myth propagated by Hindutva fascists and a few self-appointed,"defenders of Indian culture" on cyberspace.
The Hindutva groups are misleading the masses by criticizing Max Mueller's Aryan Invasion Theory (which is already discredited) and cleverly, falsely and deviously claiming that present day historians are supporting Max Mueller's theory. In fact, under the cover of criticizing Max Mueller's theory, self-appointed Hindutva historians are promoting a theory that Aryans did not migrate from Central Asia but were the original inhabitants of India. This theory has been propped up as a propaganda item on numerous websites and is discussed as a community specific truth within the Hindutva circles.
The main agenda of promoting this theory is ideological and political. For those concerned with a Hindutva ideology, the invasion has to be denied. The definition of a Hindu as given by Vir Savarkar ( fascist RSS ideologue) was that India had to be his punyabhumi (the land of his religion) and his pitribhumi (ancestral land). A Hindu therefore could not be descended from an alien culture . Since Hindus sought a cultural heritage from the Aryans, the Aryans had to be indigenous. This definition of the Hindu excludes Muslims and Christians from being indigenous since their religion did not originate in India.


The contemporary theory of migration/influx has been propounded on the basis of years of research.

@LeanJedi thank you for spreading more lies about the brutish empire in all your comments on youtube, you have been correctly called a scoundrel by Dr. Sam Johnson

@JustAStoner Thank you.  Please convey my thanks to Dr. Sam Johnson, whoever he is. But if you are looking for lies and scoundrels, he you don't have to look too far. Romila Thapar, Michael Witzel, Stever Farmer, Fosse, R S Sharma is a good list to begin and end. And if one day, by luck, if you happen to have what Psychologist call SSE (significant emotional event), begin reading likes of Popper, Einstein, Kepler, Newton to realize nonsence created by lier list mentioned above. Peace!

The Nomads were having the "iron" and they brought Iron weapons. With the help of "COMMON SENSE" can we say that "What they got in their native land, id what the native used". India is the subcontinent which is having the largest deposits of Iron ore in the world.

Harappan Civilization is a big contradiction to Aryan Invasion Theory. Imagine for a moment the non-sense propagated by the Historians of Marxists clan. The "Nomads" were more advance than the Civilization whom built first roads, toilets, bricks, practiced meditation, yoga. The "Nomads" know all the sanskrit texts but did'nt know how to cultivate plants or agriculture. The place were the nomadic people came from, the Sanskrit vanished because it was a tough? language. BS....

Watch the video "Pre-Harappan Ancient city found". It can put some light on Aryan Invasion Theory.

@si91 You are right my friend. These Historians are exposed now. Truth are backed by scientific evidence. Watch "Pre-harappan ancient city found".

aryan invasion theory, a white supremacist nazi christian british nonsense.

Aryan is a Hindu sanskrit word, used for those people who are spiritually advanced that's all, be they be of any race, color , place or religion.

It is appalling that how much bullshit is propagated by the Hindu Rights. All the experts or the subject matter experts favor The Aryan Invasion Theory.

[statickk14]

@gorloro You are right, India did have an advanced civilization but not they were not Aryan. Aryans came and conquered the locals. They learned everything from the local people, and gave India the caste system to remain at the top.

Aryans: Invasion, Indigenous or Migration?

In Fact Aryans never came to dominate the White Indian culture,

Huge buildings, and architecture there, existed for thousands of years ,

long before Caucasian get civilized.

Aryans=Caucasians; founders of Indus valley culture are Indigenous Non-Caucasian Whites. (Indo-European)
