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.

    And then return and sleep within mine inn,
    For with long travel I am stiff and weary.”
