Egos and Justifications
- This is a prime example of the ego of Western archeologists of the 18th, 19th and unfortunately 20th century. Anything that they could "cherry-pick" their facts and raise "their" theory above the heads of everyone else. That it lauded their "civilization" was icing on the cake.

i disagree
- I believe the aryan invasion theory is a myth.actually people of india were learned and very intelligent they were good at everything .I believe aryans originated in india but spread across europe from india .in ramayana and mahabharta as well it is written lord rama were the king of three loks or the whole world,science,language,medicine ,weoponary was very advance at that time in india as compared to other civilizations,however I believe there was a strong caste system prevailed

Hinduism is Indian
- Arya Means Noble person.Mecole was confused by "Arya Puthra" refered inour epics. If you belive the Aryans came from Europe and tought Hindiism. Hindu epics should refer their parent places. The imaginary aryans are given European colour. Krishna is Black, Rama is Black.Nile civilization is old so they have not been refered. North Indians are Aryans and South are dravidian is another story in support.Many Biharies, Jharkanties are no diffeent than South Indians . If Hinuism has come from Europe, then in our mantras we refer Gangesa....Godavary..Sindu.. Kavery. Why European rivers not refered. Even Kaikeee is refered as Out sider in Ramyan. Kaikee is in Europe (now Khaszkastan. She was trecherous.) How can it be out sider. We have a slave mentality to blindly accept what white colour people say.If we belive their stories as history,then why Europeons invaded India for many years. Our Culture,our sculpures,our theories have facinated them. If it is theirs, why should it facinat

Language Must Be Considered
- The fact of the matter is that Sanskrit is closely related to Greek and Latin. It is equally related to the ancient ancestors of English, Irish and Russian. While Indians would naturally like to believe that the language began in India and spread to Europe, that is not a linguistically tenable idea. All the languages of Northern India are descended from Sanskrit. The languages of Europe clearly are not descended from Sanskrit, but from its many sister languages. When language groups spread, they are always less diverse in the new area than they are in the homeland. Since there was only one Indo-European language in ancient India while there were many outside of India, the language group could not have started in India. It is an import there, just as it is in almost all of Europe. A massive invasion is not required to spread a language, but some movement of people into the area is necessary. Linguistic evidence is just as real as biology or archaeology. Something did happen.

Mr.
- I would say that Aryans were integral part of India who leave in most of India. Now Next part about similarity with Europeans is due to Romani culture and Language which suppose to be started from Kannauj in UP India. Since Romani people diverse themselves after invasions from Ghazni and others, they are categorized in various classes. Please refer to the links of wiki for more details. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_language

Aryans came to India and mingled
- I don't want to say anything but like to ask some questions:- 1. Why South Indian's are darker than North Indians, where they came from? And this is not that they reside near to equators therefore faces more direct rays of Sun. Then question comes, why Australian are white, this proves that skin color is genetic. I mean to say here the ancient habitants of IVC were driven to South India by Aryans. 2. Ivasions could only put some mark on city if a city is not wiped several times by flood. IVC was not only wiped by flood and draught, if so why we don't find any city of that age in the southern part of India, as IVC was a civilizations with cities ( like Harappa & Mahenzodaro) and they could have easily built up city on the valley of the Ganges which was even nearer to them to start with? But they could not because Aryans already started ruling upon the area. In West, though people belief Hitler started the Invasion theory, but Hinduism and Sanskrit were there before Hitler.

No
- I have to disagree! it's not possible because i mean humans evolved from Cro-Magnons not Homo sapiens or Neanderthals and to thing that the Cro-magnons wiped out the Neanderthals was an even more idiotic decision Neanderthals could have been helpful to us to have in our genes which i don't believe but yea

Aryan invasion: A problem of linguistics
- The theory of aryan invasion is the creation of 19th century linguists,like sir william jones.I would like to bring your attention to the first lecture given by Sir william jones given to members of Asiatic society in Kolkata,he compared sanskrit with the languages of Europe and declared for the first time the relationship between the indo-european languages,modern linguists hail jones as the 'father of modern linguistics'.But these linguists often forget the main aim of sir william jones's comparison was to explain the story of tower of Babel as give in bible.He made great blunders while proving his theory,he compared not only Sanskrit with European languages but also with Peruvian and Chinese,which does not show any conjuncture.This blunderous mistake itself is an example of how these linguists were trying to impose their colonial ideas on their subjects living in these colonies.

Aryans and Aryas
- Aryans, sanskrit ethnic name; Arya, sanskrit for noble or Lord, in accordance with the Arian been the conquerors and overlords of the area. The came from the North, probably form what is today Iran/Persia. And yes, their color of skin was of a clear complexion in comparison with the dark skinned Dravidians. Indian studies and research regarding the Arian Civilization should become more public and accessible to the public. They know the truth.

- Aryan invasion theory has been abandoned even by the most european historians. There is no archeological, Genetic, or any other evidence to this. Regarding Cast issue, note even in Europe and many other cultures there is class division in there society, some thing like this could be orign of cast system. In more general terms, Non belivers, people with low moral values, and spritually less advanced people became low cast or out of cast people, and for others cast system was designed based on there profession, but all people with cast had srict moral code of conduct.

Mad men
- when mad men rise up they can destroy our perception of history when we the common person oppressed. Aryan invasion is as delusional as Hitler's pure race theory when he himself looked like a darkie
