To suggest that the Aryans had attained the highly developed literary and intellectual acumen after coming into India does not justify the absence of any record whatsoever in any of the places through which they had travelled into India.Īnother argument is that the original home of the Aryans was Lithuania on the basis that the language of the Lithuanians is archaic and has the greatest resemblance to the original Aryan language.

If the Aryans had come to India from outside it would be natural to find some traces of their thoughts and literary activities in some of the places through which they had travelled.īut no such record has been discovered at any place. This is argued to be a pointer to the fact that India was the original home of the Aryans and from India the Aryan language and other languages of Aryan affinity came into existence due to the contacts between the migrating Aryans and non-Aryans out of India.Īnother argument in support of this view is that the Vedic literature was the expression of the highly developed thoughts of the Aryans. But in parts of Europe, if it were the original home of the Indo-Aryans, it is inexplicable why only very few vocables are found in the languages of the European countries. For in the Sanskrit language largest number of vocables of the Aryan languages is found.

It has also been pointed out that linguistic affinity cannot be regarded as positive proof of immigration of the Aryans from any outside country. But no such evidence has been found in the literature of the Vedic Aryans. In fact, there is an emotional association with the land of the origin of all migrating people. Further, there is no reference to their coming into India from any outside country and it is not possible that the Aryans had forgotten all about their original home if it were anywhere out of India. In support of the theory of the indigenous origin of the Aryans it has been pointed out that there is a mass of literary evidence to show that Sapta-Sindhu was regarded by the Vedic Aryans as their original home. While J ha seeks to prove that Brahmarshi-Desha was the original home of the Aryans, Triveda mentions the region of the Devika River in Multan, and Kalla claims Kashmir and the Himalayan regions as the original home of the Aryans. Kalla, are advocates of the theory of indigenous origin of the Aryans. However, some scholars, such as Gananath Jha, D. Penka and his school of thought, particularly Kossuna, approached the problem of the Indo-Aryans from racial point of view and con­cluded that Germany was the original home of the Indo-Aryans.įrom the above approaches the claim that India was the original home of the Aryans becomes untenable. They support their conclusion by pointing out that comparative philology has shown that the Lithuanian language is the only language that retains the basic Aryan idioms even today. This has led many a scholar to conclude that the original home of the Aryans was Europe rather than India. Max Muller also emphatically pointed out that scientifically speaking, Aryan means language and not race.įrom this language affinity it is argued that the Indo-European languages, at least a large number of them, are crowded in Europe and some of them are found to stretch out in a narrow length reaching upto the region of the Punjab in the early Rig Vedic time. The scholars have named this language group as Indo-European or Indo-German language group. But it was Sir William Jones who in 1786 showed that Sanskrit and the European languages such as Greek, Latin, German, Celtic, Gothic, as also the Persian, had a common origin.
