The concept of an "Aryan race" has a complicated and controversial history, and debates about its meaning and significance have persisted for centuries. At its core, the concept of an Aryan race refers to a hypothetical group of people who are believed to be biologically and culturally superior to other groups. This idea has been used to justify a variety of discriminatory practices, including racism, colonialism, and genocide.
The term "Aryan" comes from the ancient Indo-European language group, and it was originally used to refer to speakers of this language. In the 19th century, however, the concept of an Aryan race began to take on a more political and racialized meaning. It was used to justify the belief that certain European peoples were biologically and culturally superior to others, and that they had a right to dominate and colonize other parts of the world.
One of the most infamous examples of the use of the Aryan race concept was in Nazi Germany, where it was used to justify the extermination of millions of Jews, Romani people, and other perceived "inferior" groups. Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders believed that the Aryan race was a superior biological entity, and that it was their duty to purify the world by eliminating any individuals who did not fit their definition of an Aryan. This led to the horrific atrocities of the Holocaust, in which six million Jews and millions of other people were killed.
Today, the concept of an Aryan race is widely rejected as a scientifically unfounded and deeply flawed idea. The idea that any one race is superior to others is not supported by scientific evidence, and the concept of race itself has been shown to be a social construct rather than a biological reality. In addition, the use of the Aryan race concept to justify discrimination and violence has been rightfully condemned by the international community.
Despite this, the Aryan race concept continues to be used by some groups to promote hateful ideologies and to justify discrimination and violence. It is important to reject and oppose these harmful and misguided beliefs, and to work towards a more inclusive and equitable world.

In the era of internet and social media with all information available in just one click, it was just a matter of time before the truth would have come out anyway. Nor was the IVC Aryan. Thus, from a complete absence of horse, we see little evidence of horse remains around the subcontinent, but not quite a lot. E was not significant regarding the arrival of horse in India. Given the preponderance of genetic and other evidence that supports this possibility, this may well be the case, but time will tell. According to this version, two Indo-Aryan groups — the Dasas and Panis — arrived around 2100 B.
The big Aryan
However, Sir John Marshall explains the alternative view by describing the nature of the Indus civilization. Onager In 1994, Richard Meadow and Ajita Patel examined the same remains in Purana Quila and came to a different conclusion. E from the steppes via Central Asia bringing horses with them. Trautmann says that ". To back these biased assumptions and with archaeology not really existing at that time, evidences for invasions were searched for in the Rig Veda. Their teachings, language, and mantras—as well as the culture they enshrine—are perfect and supremely beneficial regardless of where and when they appear on Earth. The central question behind this selection is, did the Sanskrit-speaking Aryans enter India from the Northwest in 1500 BC, or were they indigenous to India and identical with the people who inhabited the Indus Valley between 2800 - 1500.
The Aryan Debate by Thomas R. Trautmann
The author seems ignorant of the fact that the issue can only be settled by Harappan DNA. The debate goes on, and time will tell whether one side will prevail, or another compromise will emerge. In fact, most scholars have now rejected the old invasion theory, at least in the form described above. So even while there was no evidence it was also automatically assumed the homeland of the IE languages Sanskrit being one of them was outside India. It arose as a result of a very long development dating back to 7000 BC, and it ended when the settlements were gradually abandoned, perhaps due to environmental devastation. They thought the samples came from an onager and not the true horse. Hence the findings themselves became suspect — at least till 1991.
The Aryan Debate
It is perplexing that the Hindu published the article without fact-checking it. The growing influence of racial ideas in the West had its effects in India, too. Due to these glaring deficiencies, Silva M. Parpola, Materials for the study of the Indus script 80, 199, 200, 237. In fact horse remains are rare even after 1500 B.

In fact one theory argues just that. These natives were the residents of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, two great cities found in the Indus valley by archeologists in the last century. I am aware, however although Trautmann treads lightly here, out of a sense of fairness, I assume that the motivations behind some of those who advocate the "alternative view" are not necessarily politically benign and that their conclusions are not deliberated with the same degree of expertise and training as that of sober academics. Historians often continue this rather conservative method of interpreting the past. This was a sensational discovery: first, it was the bones of a horse and second, it was dated to the period 2265 B. Nevertheless, the Aryan Invasion Theory lies at the heart of a serious academic debate—one which is changing the way we view ancient India. R Alur found horse bones from a Neolithic site in Hallur, Karnataka and they were dated between 1500 and 1300 B.
The Aryan Debate: Horse
Or, perhaps, he may be ignorant of it altogether, which would not be surprising given his lack of a scientific background. The Vedas themselves never emphasize the ethnic background of individual personalities. The find at Surkotada upset this narrative because it crossed a lakshman rekha into Mature Harappan and also violated the threshold for the Indo-Aryan arrival. Without going into these deliberate distortions and misrepresentations, which Michel Danino has detailed in his aforementioned paper that he had presented to the ICHR, this article will just take a look at the archeological evidences from the Harappan culture that show absolutely no traces of invasions, and subsequent wars and destructions. Polarity and temporality of high-resolution Y-chromosome distributions in India identify both indigenous and exogenous expansions and reveal minor genetic influence of Central Asian pastoralists. This results in the reproduction of particular views of the past, the preservation of evidence that follows the received wisdom, and the discarding of other evidence that is precieved by the archivist as irrelevant, unhistorical, or white noise. Where a clue or reference is absent, the decipherer can only exercise his own imagination and the acceptance of any decipherment is an act of faith.
