- Aryan Invasion Theory is a Myth: large Harvard study
Aryan Invasion Theory is a Myth: large Harvard study

Aryan Invasion Theory is a Myth: large Harvard study 2009-09-27T10:38:22-05:00 Desh Kapoor
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
I still remember so much of hue and cry was made by the so-called secular fraternity in India on (i) why the Aryan Invasion Theory was true and (ii) anyone criticizing was doing so out of “inferiority complex” and with “Hindu superiority” leanings. As if looking for a factual explanation of history is a crime! The debate in Indian sociology and history is so perverse that its considered an Intellectual greatness to peddle half truths and a Gross mistake to poke questions at those half-truths whose only claim to fame is their repetition, not their veracity! Now, a study by Harvard nails the lie that Indian historians have so proudly peddled and guarded with the barbed wires of elitist perversion.
A pathbreaking study by Harvard and indigenous researchers on ancestral Indian populations says there is a genetic relationship between all Indians and more importantly, the hitherto believed “fact” that Aryans and Dravidians signify the ancestry of north and south Indians might after all, be a myth.
The study was extensive and scientific in its scope and cannot be easily refuted by cute rhetorics anymore!
The study analysed 500,000 genetic markers across the genomes of 132 individuals from 25 diverse groups from 13 states. All the individuals were from six-language families and traditionally “upper” and “lower” castes and tribal groups. “The genetics proves that castes grew directly out of tribe-like organizations during the formation of the Indian society,” the study said. Thangarajan noted that it was impossible to distinguish between castes and tribes since their genetics proved they were not systematically different.
I am sure that the die hard Secular Perverts in India and their foreign sympathizers will not stop from their nonsensical rhetoric…. but I guess they should be challenged to bring out some solid proof instead of folk-lores, stories and rhetoric.
Its time to rewrite the Indian History books! And this time, it should be based on scientifically established history and not fictionalized one. Those stories were interesting… but no more.
