An unknown Indian has taken on proponents of Aryan invasion/migration theory, demolished their case, and
established that northern India is the original home of
the Indo-European family of languages. The importance of
this remarkable achievement cannot be exaggerated. In
course of time, it can compel the revision of the history
not only of Indian but also world civilization. The truth is invariably simple and convincing once one is able to cut through the maze of misinterpretation and obscurity. Indeed, one then wonders why other scholars could not grasp so obvious a proposition. This is so in the case of Srikant G. Telageri's Aryan Invasion Theory and Indian Nationalism 1. This is, of course, not the first conclusive repudiation of the invasion/migration theory in the English language. David Frawley too has made nonsense of it in his invaluable work Gods, Sages and Kings: Vedic Secrets of Ancient Civilization 2. But he has not taken note in detail of what various proponents of the theory have written. The scope of his work is also much larger and in parts it is rather speculative. (Frawley is, incidentally, a recognized Vedacharya and has written extensively on various aspects of Vedic civilization).
