that is not why I, or anyone who's studied it, believe it. I haven't made it my life's purpose but I have read two lengthy volumes on the history of India, and that, common sense leads me to believe Aryan invasion. Like the fact that they had no word for elephant, but one for horse - kind of odd for people in south asia, don't you think, but common from a horse riding people from the stepps of asia??
To me, denying it or constructing elaborate theories is as much a waste of time as denying the Normans invaded and conquered the Saxons.
no one is saying that there weren't sophisticated cultures in India prior....and I am not saying I am authority on the subject - i have read enough to know the extent of my ignorance
- I could even ask, what do we mean by india? The geogrpahic boundries of the current country? Which means part of punjab isn't India? The Raj? Asok's empire?
