Are you referring to the Aryan invasion theory? If so that's been debunked a long time ago

    Mostly because there is no evidence it happened infact most evidence refutes it and if anything says it happened the other way round http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rajiv-malhotra/how-europeans-misappropri_b_837376.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rajiv-malhotra/how-europeans-m...

      So your source is from tabloid news? I look forward to a rebuttal from the Daily Mail.

        HuffPo might have something itself. http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/too-early-to-settle-the-aryan-migration-debate/article19265947.ece http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/too-early-to-settle-th... has this: >"With the information currently available, it is difficult to deduce the direction of haplogroup R1a migration either into India or out of India, although the genetic data certainly show that there was migration between the regions. Currently, CSIR-CCMB and Harvard Medical School are investigating a larger number of samples, which will hopefully throw more light on this debate." //

        What is the proof Aryan Invasion. Note the current research says that ANI (Ancestral North India) and ASI (Ancestral South India) both are ancient genetically divergent (same even older ancestry) that recently went through and admixture a 1400-4000 years ago. That is in that admixture there is no recent central asian genetics other than the one that was already there in India prior, about 12,000 years ago. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3769933/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3769933/

The nature of the entry of Indo-Aryan speakers into India has been discussed in more nuanced ways, but the relation of Sanskrit et al. to European languages (and the unrelatedness of Indo-Aryan to Dravidian and Munda and so) is all well established and not under debate. Either Indo-Aryan speakers migrated into India from outside, or all of the other Indo-European groups migrated out of India. The latter, while not completely out of the question, is much less likely than the former.
