DU Professor Refutes Aryan Invasion Theory
Imagine some old stories about people called Aryans coming to India and fighting.
A professor named Vishwa Mohan Jha says those stories might not be right.
He says there's no proof that the Aryans fought anyone.
Instead, he thinks the Aryans slowly moved into India from Central Asia, like they were just settling down.
He points to the language people spoke and the things they left behind.
He also says people in western India look similar to the Aryans.
It's like the story is changing about how these people came to live in India.
A Delhi University professor refuted the Aryan Invasion Theory.
The professor supported the Aryan Emigration Theory.
He cited linguistic, archaeological, and genetic evidence.
The AET suggests a gradual migration of Aryans from Central Asia.
The professor presented his views at the Bihar State Archives.
