Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan
Myth of the Aryan Invasion
After the independence of India a new suggestion came in which
promulgated that the Aryan Invasion is a myth and that Aryans were the
original inhabitants of India in the Indus Sarawathi Valley. The idea
bolsters the unity of India and is essentially motivated by social and
political gains rather than objective facts. It gained momentum by

Raj has given impetus to independence movement and subsequent
independence of India. This mistake coasted them an empire. But the

achieved by proposing that (1) there are no differences between
Aryans and any other ethnic groups. Ethnic groups are just a myth.
(2) Wherever worship of God is found, that God is identified with
Vishnu - Krishna - Brahman. Then wherever you find a concept of
