Debunking Aryan invasion theory

-

What is Aryan invasion (1800-1500 BCE) theory?

Foreigners from the north are believed to have migrated to India and settled in the Indus Valley and Ganges Plain from 1800-1500 BCE. The most prominent of these groups spoke Indo-European languages and were called Aryans, or “noble people” in the Sanskrit language. It was GERMAN linguistic MAX MULLER who in 19th centaury proposed this theory. 



DEBUNKING ARYAN INVASION THEORY

A lot of western scholars and regrettably few Indian scholars too argue that, civilization moved into India, entitled as "Aryan invasion theory", but the genetic studies proved otherwise. People moved out of India. It's tragic that after all the evidences that prove this theory is a myth, still our Indian history textbooks are firmly following this myth. Nothing has been revised. 

PURANIC EVIDENCE:

ANAR PURANAS actually speak about people moving out of India. There is a story of king yayati and his sons. Yayati has five sons.
  • Yadu 
  • Turvashu
  • Anudruhyu
  • Druhyu
  • Puru



 Yayati did not want to relinquish his throne. Even though he had five very able sons, he did not want to let go of the pleasures that come with being a king. So, he asks one of his sons to exchange his youth with him. None of them agreed except one. He is the younger one, who was eventually made as king and the other four are banished. Then they move out of the country.

The progeny of 5 sons are:  "The sons of Yadu are known by the name of the Yadavas: while those of Turvasu have come to be called the Yavanas(greeks). And the sons of Drahyu are the Bhojas, while those of Anu, the Mlechchhas. The progeny of Puru, however, are the Pauravas.

  • Yadu - Yadavas
  • Turvasu - Yavanas
  • Drahyu - Bhojas
  • Anu - Mlechchhas
  • Puru - Pauravas.

GENETIC EVIDENCE:

This theory is purely developed on the basis of the then geopolitical scenario, which has no bases. Indian civilization dates back to approximately 9000 years before present according to current archaeological records. And few excavations dates back to 12000 years before present (for example, excavations conducted in 2000s in Gujarat gulf of Khambhat found there existed 12000 year old city and this is different from Dwaraka). Indian civilization is one of the largest and the most cherished, classic civilisation among Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations.

LESSER KNOWN  IMPACTS OF  BRITISH COLONIAL  RULE IN INDIA BEYOND ATROCITIES: The subtle exploitation and the unseen shadows of British colonial rule in India  The British colonial rule in India, lasting from 1858 to 1947, is marked by numerous well-documented atrocities, but there are lesser-known aspects of their exploitation and control that aren't always highlighted in mainstream narratives. 1. Psychological Warfare and Manipulation British officials employed sophisticated psychological tactics to undermine Indian resistance. This included spreading rumours to create distrust among Indian communities, fostering divisions based on religion, caste, and ethnicity, and using propaganda to present British rule as benevolent and progressive. This psychological manipulation made it difficult for a unified resistance to form against the British. 2. Cultural and Intellectual Suppression The British systematically dismantled India's educational institutions and cultural heritage. Trad
