| | Aryan invasion theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some Hindu thinkers like Sri Aurobindo reacted against the Aryan Invasion theory on spiritual rather than historical grounds, claiming them to be "materialistic." Sri Aurobindo interprets the descriptions of war in the Rig Veda often as descriptions of spiritual warfare or as nature-poetry. | | | Shrikant G. Talageri (1993: 47) thinks that the question of whether the Aryans came from outside India is not very relevant to Hinduism itself, whose holy places are all in India (in contrast to other religions like Christianity, Judaism and Islam). | | | as a native religion) because of the Aryan Invasion Theory. |

| | Death of the Aryan Invasion Theory |
| | Let us also remember that the Aryan invasion theory was hypothesized in the nineteenth century to explain the similarities found in Sanskrit and the languages of Europe. | | | In the Vedic sutras, the word aryan is used to refer to those who are spiritually oriented and of noble character. | | | To instill the idea of an Aryan invasion into the Vedic texts is merely an exercise of taking isolated verses out of context and changing the meaning of the terms. |

| | Solid Evidence Debunking Aryan Invasion |
| | To preserve the Aryan invasion idea it was assumed that the Vedic (and later Sanskrit) term for ocean, samudra, originally did not mean the ocean but any large body of water, especially the Indus river in Punjab. | | | The Aryan Kassites of the ancient Middle East worshiped Vedic Gods like Surya and the Maruts, as well as one named Himalaya. | | | The interpretation of the religion of the Indus Valley culture - made incidentally by scholars such as Wheeler who were not religious scholars much less students of Hinduism - was that its religion was different than the Vedic and more likely the later Shaivite religion. |

| | Aryan theory |
| | For thousands of years the Hindu society has looked upon the Vedas as the fountain-head of all knowledge: spiritual and secular, and the mainstay of Hindu culture, heritage and its existence. | | | No where in any of the ancient Indian scriptures or epics or Puranas, etc. is there any mention of Aryan migration or invasion or Aryan race. | | | Indian culture and nationalism have been evolved and fostered over the millenia by India's ancient rishis who at the banks of holy rivers of Saptasindhu and Saraswati had composed the Vedic literature - the very foundation of Indian civilization, and realized the eternal truths about the Creator, His creation, and means to preserve it. |

| | Aryan Invasion Theory : History Revisited |
| | The reducing of the animalistic signs to alphabets has obviously been a gift of the Aryans to the world, which in later millienia was picked up and emulated by the semitic civilization, Prof Rao asserted. | | | With respect to Indus seals, unless conclusive evidence shows that language to be Dravian totally unrelated to Sanskrit, he feels that Aryans and Dravidians were a single people divided only by modern academic theory. | | | The inscription of seven letters on an earthen pottery deciphered by Prof Rao read as mahakutchshahapa (lord protector of the great seas). |

| | The Aryan Invasion Theory and Hindu Politics |
| | The theory has even been used by some scholars to make the Yoga tradition or such systems as Tantra, Shaivism, Samkhya, Buddhism and Jainism non-Aryan (though, for example, original Buddhism calls itself 'AryaDharma'). | | | Particularly they are afraid that it could be used to make Islam an intrusive invader religion and become a pretext to oppress the Islamic minority in the country. | | | There is much archaeological and literary evidence against it which continues to grow on a daily basis andhas moved far behind the sphere of faithful Hindus. |

| | Aryan Invasion Theory Myth |
| | AIT has no support either in North Indian literature, tradition, science or in any of the South Indian, Dravidian (inhabitants of South India, who were supposed to be the victims of the so-called Aryan invasion) literature and tradition. | | | Frawley describes Aryans as "a culture of spiritual knowledge." He and others believe 1) the Land of Seven Rivers (Sapta Sindhu) mentioned in the Rig Veda refers to India only, 2) that the people of Indus-Sarasvati Valleys and those of Rig Veda are the same, and 3) there was no Aryan invasion. | | | To the Aryans, are attributed Sanskrit, the Vedic - or Hindu religion, India's greatest spiritual texts, the Vedas, as well as a host of subsequent writings, the Upanishads, the Mahabharata, the Ramanaya, etc... |

| | Invasion Theory, so that it should no longer be portrayed as the truth. | | | As for as the truth in these theories, there is not one word in our scriptures, not one, to prove that the Aryans came from anywhere outside of India, and in ancient India was included Afganistan. | | | For one, with the AIT, an argument can be made that everybody in India is an invader and nobody has a claim to victimhood or being the 'original Indian'. |

| | Aryan Invasion Theory - A Christian Myth? |
| | The extent of deception adhered to by the Aryans of India to establish their superiority over the rest of the Indian continent and over the rest of the world in the name of Sanadhana Dharma has now reached a limit bordering on to the Nazism. | | | The Rigveda rishis, we find, packed their hymns with occult allusions to high-energy physics, anti-matter, the inflational theory of the universe, calculations of the speed of light, and gamma-ray bursts striking the earth three times a day. | | | This evidence, and much more like it, shows that the claim by Rajaram that mature Harappans spoke "late Vedic" Sanskrit - the language of the Vedic sutras (dating to the second half of the first millennium) - is off by at least two thousand years! |

| | There is now ample evidence to show that Muller, and those who followed him, were wrong. | | | * it suggested that the dark-skinned Dravidian people of the South of India had got their faith from light-skinned Aryan invaders | | | * it gave a historical precedent to justify the role and status of the British Raj, who could argue that they were transforming India for the better in the same way that the Aryans had done thousands of years earlier |
