The Aryan Invasion Theory

The Aryan Invasion Theory suggests that around 1500 BCE, a group called the Aryans, originating from Central Asia, migrated into the Indian subcontinent and brought new languages, customs, and religious ideas. They are believed to have influenced the development of early Indian civilizations and the Sanskrit language. The theory is based on linguistic, archaeological, and textual evidence, but it has been debated and revised over time. Some scholars now interpret these migrations as gradual movements rather than outright invasions, emphasizing cultural exchanges that shaped Indian history.
