The "migration" to India theory has been generally refuted .. it's origins trace back to the English colonizers inventing history to justify their rule.

They will keep shoveling Miller’s and other Indologists outdated supremacist ideas until Indians meekly submit and accept it. There’s no reasoning with supremacists.

You're not wrong, but that's got literally nothing at all to do with this.

you should look into population genetics. pretty weird that the same y chromosomal lineages showed up all over eurasia at the same time :o)

  Give me a specific reference of genetic proof of the 'aryan invasion'. And put a rough date on it. Thanks!

    https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aat7487 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aat7487 just the paper i read most recently -- the genetic and linguistic evidence for this theory is so overwhelming that the world laughs at you for believing otherwise. it is obviously too tied up with nationalist mythology and sentiment for you to analyze with a clear mind.

      This is the exact type of propaganda "papers" without any evidence that the colonial types produce. There is no distinction between the "aryan invaders" and the native harrappan peoples: https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2019/09/06/new-study-debunks-aryan-invasion-theory.html https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2019/09/06/new-study-debun... Sure, some tribes may have migrated. But these tribes were not the "white civilizers" of the "dark natives" as the European colonizers wanted to promote. Too bad much of Indology is still persisting with the direction set by the English and Germans in the late 1800s.

Aryan migration is a well accepted and genetically supported theory. Would love to hear more on its refutation. https://scroll.in/article/936872/two-new-genetic-studies-upheld-aryan-migration-theory-so-why-did-indian-media-report-the-opposite https://scroll.in/article/936872/two-new-genetic-studies-uph...
