DEVELOPMENT OF THE ARYAN INVASION IDEA |

To support this theory other
aspects of the Vedas were molded according to it. Vedic references to
destruction of cities were related to Harappa. The Vedic metal ayas was said to be iron, though it is only
a generic term meaning metal. Vedic references to the ocean
were reduced to mean only the Indus river or some other large
body of water in northwest India or Afghanistan. Vedic references to
rivers from the Indus to the Ganges, which are merely a list of
rivers, were interpreted to show a movement from the west to the
east of India. The Aryan invasion theory was
imposed on archeological and literary evidence,
even if it required altering the data.
This was how the Aryan invasion theory formed. The logic was
inevitable. Once the image of invading Aryans was formed, it had
to be drawn out to its ultimate form envisioning the Aryans like Atilla the
Hun.
