| THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE ARYAN INVASION IDEA |

|
The idea that the Aryans were a
particular race was not accepted by everyone. Max Muller himself
rejected it. Yet it has become ingrained in the Aryan theory so
much that the common mind has accepted it as a fact. This idea of
the Aryans as a particular race, speaking a particular language I call
the "first birth" of the Aryan theory. Yet in its first form the Aryan
invasion was of people who were as or more advanced in culture than the indigenous aborigines that they
overcame.
Harappa and Mohenjodaro were not excavated until the early part of the
twentieth century. As by this time the 1500 BC date for the Vedic
people was accepted and since Harappa dated before this it was
uncritically accepted that the Harappan culture must be
pre-Vedic.
