In short, Western scholars are also
beginning to reject the Aryan invasion or any outside origin for Hindu civilization:
Current archaeological data do not support the existence of
an Indo-Aryan or European invasion into South Asia at any time in the
pre-or protohistoric periods. Instead, it is possible to document archaeologically a series of cultural
changes reflecting indigenous cultural development from prehistoric to
historic periods.
The Indo-Aryan invasion as an academic concept in eighteenth
and nineteenth century Europe reflected the cultural milieu of the period. Linguistic data were used to
validate the concept that in turn was used to interpret archaeological and
anthropological data.
