| Unfortunately the Eurocentric
approach of the Aryan invasion theory has not been questioned
more, particularly by Hindus. Strangely, even the anti-colonial
Marxists have taken it up this colonial view as their own. Even
though Indian Vedic scholars like Dayananda Sarasvati, Tilak and Aurobindo rejected it, most Hindus
today passively accept it. They allow Western, often Christian
scholars to interpret their history for them and quite naturally Hinduism is
kept in a reduced role. Many Hindus still accept, read or even honor the
translations of the Vedas done by such nineteenth century Christian
missionary scholars as Muller, Griffith,
Monier-Williams and H.H. Wilson. Would modern Christians
accept an interpretation of the Bible or Biblical history done by Hindus
aimed at converting them to Hinduism? Universities in India still
use these Western history books and Western Vedic translations that
propound these views which denigrate their own culture and
country.
