Indo-Aryan Migration - Contrary View

Contrary View

See also: Indigenous Aryan Theory and Out of India Theory

The notion of Indigenous Aryans posits that speakers of Indo-Aryan languages are "indigenous" to the Indian subcontinent. The "Indigenous Aryans" position may entail an Indian origin of Indo-European languages, and in recent years, the concept has been increasingly conflated with an "Out of India" origin of the Indo-European language family. This contrasts with the model of Indo-Aryan migration which posits that Indo-Aryan tribes migrated to India from Central Asia.

Famous quotes containing the words contrary and/or view:

    “Those commands of superiors which are contrary to our first duties are not to be obeyed.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    “In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
