BeautifulGame Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 At least until a more convincing theory emerges ,it is one of the valid theories , So Yes
vipin Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Yes. But i don't like calling it Aryan Invasion. I hate the words 'Aryan' and 'Invasion'.
gslv Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 It should be Aryan migration theory, not invasion , does anyone have proof of it? BTW everyone in the world is a migrant, we all came from Africa.
Yoda-esque Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 It was gradual , not sudden and not ,it wasn't an invasion
hhunaeh Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 wow people seem really sure of what happened so many years ago :haha:
Shivaji bhonsle Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 All the north Indians will say yes, south Indians will say no.

Yamaha Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I do believe in the Indo-Aryan migration theory [Link]. There are two broad racial groups in India - descendants of the Ancestral North Indians [ANI](related to Central Asians, Middle Easterners and Europeans) and those of the Ancestral South Indians [ASI] who are not closely related to external groups, except the aboriginal populations in Australia.
Laaloo Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 yes its common sense but common sense is not so common these days
jalebi_bhai Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Was busy earlier so I didn't go into detail. Here is an excerpt from one of Stephen Knapp's book where he discredits AIT. Plenty of citations provided. http://www.stephen-knapp.com/aryan_invasion_theory_the_final_nail_in_its_coffin.htm More than Knapp, it is Nicholas Kazanas, a greek Indologist, whose views I find interesting. Here is a video where he provides his arguments against the AIT. uyeJ5aUaw0o What I find interesting is that after 18 years of teaching AIT, he has a 180 degree change of thought. Why would that be the case? One can only conclude that there happened to be archaeological findings that proved otherwise and hence his change of thought. Kazanas quotes several other scholars who disprove the AIT during his lecture. One can trace the propagation of AIT to the early 19th century under the British empire. One can assume that the AIT spread as far as where the BE's influence spread. We must also realize that a lot of our historical records were destroyed by both Muslim and European invaders. It is entirely possible that those records may have contained more incriminating evidence against AIT. It is absolutely shameful that so called eminent historians, as well as the politicians of our country would propagate such a lie to further their agendas. Bunch of scumbags :finger:. Even Kazanas couldn't control himself from having a pop at Indian leftists. Then we have bollywood movies like 'Vicky Donor' that further propagate these lies.
randomGuy Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 This 'theory' is utter BS. Probably because of difference of southern and northern languages , people tend to believe in it. If a south Indian kid is raised in a Hindi speaking region, he/she seems Aryan to these people.
Detonator Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Aren't we all from Africa ? :hmmm: our ancestors also had sex with neanderthals B->

'Vicky donor' should be called 'chewtiya donor' as it propagates a 'theory' which is there to make a chewtiya out of Indians, plus the lead actor of the movie is a chewtiyaactor too. The movie had a couple of awesome songs though and theawesome yami gautam

gattaca Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Op I don't know about Aryan invasion but I do know all Pakistanis are from Indians except majority of them lost sanity.
Temujin Khaghan Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 The NorthWest border is the weakest for the Indian subcontinent. Chandragupta, Asoka, Iltutmish, Khaliji, Akbar, Aurangazeb, British.. all spent a lot of money in maintaining their biggest force in these regions. Because people from East Afghanistan, Ferghana etc.. dont have surplus wealth and agriculture. So they are forced to invade for sustenance. Whereas the plenty of everything in India will breed complacency.
