BASIS OF THE ARYAN INVASION THEORY
Even the Tamil kings, the so-called conquered Dravidians, proudly called themselves Aryans and trace their dynasties back to Vedic kings. Hindu literature north and south shows an expansion from points within in India, not an entry into the subcontinent from a point on the outside.

There has been an attempt by modern scholars to read the Aryan invasion into Vedic literature. Such so-called literary evidence for the invasion, which is continually adjusted relative to new archeological data, generally consists of misreading Vedic texts, taking out a few lines that appear to support such ideas, and ignoring everything to the contrary. This literary side I will focus on most in this article because it reflects the main misconceptions created by the invasion theory, but let us examine the archeology as well.
