Indo-Aryan Migration Theory

The Indo-Aryan Migration Theory suggests that around 1500 BCE, a group of people speaking Indo-European languages migrated into the Indian subcontinent from Central Asia. This migration is believed to have influenced the local cultures, languages, and societies, leading to the formation of early Indian civilizations. Proponents of the theory argue that it helps explain the spread of Indo-Aryan languages and the development of Hindu culture and traditions. This theory contrasts with the idea that Indo-Aryans originated and developed fully within India itself, highlighting the complexity of the region's ancient history and cultural exchanges.
