SO-CALLED RACIAL WAR IN THE VEDAS |

The only inference that can be
drawn from the anthropological and linguistic evidences adduced above
is that the Harappan population in the Indus Valley and Gujarat in
2000 BC was composed of two or more groups, the more dominant
among them having very close ethnic affinities with the present day
Indo-Aryan speaking population of India.(*23)
In other words there is no racial evidence of an Indo-Aryan invasion
of India, or of any populations that have been driven out of north India
to the south, but only of a continuity of the same group of people who have traditionally considered
themselves to be Aryan in culture. There is no evidence of such a
racial war archaeologically and the Vedic literary evidence appears
only to be a twisting of metaphors. It would be like turning the Vedic
prayer to lead us from darkness to light into a prayer to save us from
dark-skinned people and ally us with those of white skin!
