The Indian Myth of the Aryans
There Has been lately a tendency to falsify history and scientific by creating Indian Myth on the origin of Aryans. These Revisionist of History have disputed the Aryan Invasion or of their Indo-European origin by suggesting that it never happened. The Myth that the Aryans were the original people of India is a lot of rubbish, since there is no archaeological or linguistic evidence for this fabricated story. The Aryans introduced Sanskrit & Horse to India. There is no convincing evidence of pre-Aryan existence of either Sanskrit or Horse in India. The written records of the language suggest that the invading Indo-Europeans brought Sanskrit with them to India, in addition to their language the Aryans brought their gods with them to India. These gods form the basis of Rig Veda and other sagas, which were first written down in Sanskrit. We can easily see that many words in Sanskrit are basically the same as in other Indo-European languages; for example, Horse in English is usp in Sanskrit, husp in Farsi; mother in English is mata in Sanskrit, maat in Russian, maader in Farsi and mutter in German. In addition, recent molecular & genetic evidence supports the arrival of the Indo-European genes into North India. Aryans also introduced the domesticated horse & to date no fossil remains of horse or its ancestral species have ever been found in India.
Th Aryans first settled along the Indus river in the same place, where the Harappan people had lived. During the early part of their arrival, and for a period, they mixed and inter-married with the local Indian people who were predominantly Dravidians. The Aryans continued to live there from about 1500 to 800 BCE. The Caste-system in India started during the same period. Around 800 BCE, the Aryans learned the use of Irons for making tools and weapons, probably from the people of West Asia, the Assyrians who had learned it from Indo-European Hittites. With the new iron weapons, the Aryan conquered and overran the territories up to the Ganges River Valley and established new settlements there. After their move into the Ganges Valley, the Aryans were very far from West Asia and had much less contact with the West Asian people. They began to mix more with the Indian people, and their gods also got mixed up with the native Indian gods. The Aryan conquest of the Ganges is narrated in the Mahabharata, dated around 800 BCE. However, the Aryans did not advance any further into India. At that time, South India was ruled by different Dravidian kings who were independent of the Aryans. Stories of fights between the Aryans & the Southern Dravidians are told in the Ramayana. Sati, the first wife of Shiva, is supposed to have immolated by burning, because her Dravidians relations ill-treated their Aryan son-in law.
We also know that before the Aryans invaded, an advanced Dravidians civilization had existed in India for many centuries. Many social, religious & marital customs & ritual of this civilization were completely different to those of the Aryans. Dravidians still dominate South India, although their culture and ethnicity have undergone major changes during the past 2000 years under the influence of the invading Aryans & later through Islamic invasions from the North & European Invasion through the sea.
