Did ancient European Aryan tribes enter India and created Indo-European race?
Despite the propaganda of Adolf Hitler and the posturing of white supremacist groups in the United States, the true Aryan nation is to be found not in the woods of Idaho but in the words of ancient India.
The word Aryan comes from Sanskrit, the sacred and carefully preserved language of the Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. Arya, the Sanskrit word, is not a racial designation but a term of respect, meaning "excellent, worthy, honorable, noble" or "lord, master, friend." Before a person's name it is used like "Sir," as in Aryaputra or Aryakanya.
Sanskrit is of great interest to linguists and historians, because it is the oldest preserved language of the Indo-European family.

"Early Humans Settled India Before Europe, Study Suggests"
Their model begins about 250,000 years ago.
Meanwhile in Africa, modern humans arose about 190,000 years ago, most archaeologists believe.

Scientists proved that all Asians, who constitute more than half of the world population, originated in India.

Indian maternal DNA is generally similar right across the country indicating that the mass of population has been in place there for a long period. It was also found that the Haplo group R1a gene previously associated with Indo-Europeans is also found in significant amounts in certain tribal populations, and may have originated in India.
Sanskrit was the mother European languages.

But where was this home of the Aryans? When the labours of modern philologists began, Sanskrit was the most archaic of all the Aryan languages known to them.

YOU ARE RIGHT, I FIND IT REALLY SAD THAT SOME PEOPEL CANT STICK TO THEIR OWN HISTORY THAT THEY TRY STEAL OR DESTROY OTHER NATIONS HISTROY!
http://www.hindubooks.org/david_frawley/myth_aryan...
THANKS TO THE WESTERN HISTORIANS AND INDOLOGISTS WE HAVE A WRONG IMAGE OF THE ARYANS!
IF THE ARYANS INVADED OR MIGRATED TO INDIA WHY DONT WE FIND ANYTHING CULTURALLY SIMILAR ELSE WHERE IN THE WORLD!?!
WHY DONT THE VEDAS MENTION A "HOMELAND" IN EUROPE, RUSSIA OR ELSE WHERE IF THEY CAME FROM THERE!?!
ITS NOT ABOUT A RACE RATHER ABOUT CULTURE... THE INDUS-SARASWATI CULTURE.
THE WORD ARYAN HAS ITS ORIGIN IN SANSKRIT, MAX MÜLLER TOOK THE WORD FROM THE VEDAS, THE AUTHORS OF THE VEDAS CALLED THEMSELVES "ARYA" WHICH MEANS "NOBLE". THEY LIVE IN THE AREA WHICH MAKES TODAYS INDIA, IRAN,AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN.
DEFINITIONS:
the authoritative Sanskrit lexicon (c. 450 AD), the famous Amarakosa gives the following definition:
mahakula kulinarya sabhya sajjana sadhavah
An Arya is one who hails from a noble family, of gentle behavior and demeanor, good-natured and of righteous conduct
And the great epic Ramayana has a singularly eloquent expression describing Lord Rama as:
arya sarva samascaiva sadaiva priyadarsanah
Arya, who worked for the equality of all and was dear to everyone.
The Rigveda also uses the word Arya something like thirty six times, but never to mean a race.
DOES THESE DEFENTIONS REFLECT THE SO CALLED "ARYANS " FROM THE WEST?
THEY WERE NO BARBARIANS AS THE WESTERN "ARYANS" SAY... SEE ALL THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE ARYANS AND THEIR SUCCESSORS IN SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY, ASTRONOMY, MEDICINE ETC... CAN THAT BE FROM BARBARIANS?
LIKE CHARAKA AND SUSHRUTA IN MEDICINE, SURGERY OR ARYABHATTA IN MATHS AND ASTRONOMY!
THERE ARE STILL NO SCIENTIFIC PROOFS FOR ALL THOSE "ARYAN THEORIES" OF THE WEST...
WE SHOULD STOP MISUSING AND INSULTING THE NAME OF THE ANCESTORS OF THOSE NATION.
THE ARYAN-DRAVIDIAN "THEORY" WAS INTRODUCED BY THE BRITISH FOR THE COLONIAL EXPLOITATION.
Recent studies of the distribution of alleles on the Y chromosome microsatellite DNA, and mitochondrial DNA in India have cast overwhelmingly strong doubt for a biological Dravidian "race" distinct from non-Dravidians in the Indian subcontinent. The only distinct ethnic groups present in South Asia, according to genetic analysis, are the Balochi, Brahui, Burusho, Hazara, Kalash, Pathan and Sindhi peoples, the vast majority of whom are found in today's Pakistan.
ACCORDING TO THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE THE FORFATHERS OF THE HOMO SAPIENS (US HUMANS), THE HOMO ERECTUS ORIGINATED IN AFRICA!
SO WE ALL ARE ACTUALLY AFRICANS... BUT NOT BLACK!?!
AND SADLY THE CURRENT CONDITION OF OUR "HOMELAND" IS A HUMANITARIAN DISASTER!
WHO SAID ARYANS WERE "WHITE-BLOND-BLUE EYED"?
RIGHT HITLER AND WE BELIVE SOMEONE LIKE HIM!?!

ok, im an indian- so this is what i think. Aryans sure did migrate to india and settle in the northern regions. Then they introduced their religious practices which as well blended with the native practices to form the one religion nw called hinduism (in which thr r diverse cults, sects and practices). They also wud naturally have warred with the natives, but over the centuries racial mixing is sure to have taken place.
U can still notice tht people to the south of india look considerable different from those in the north, who are fairer and taller with long noses, thinner lips , straight hair etc. Aryans must have spread to a no. of countries ,not only India, so India being the true aryan nation is non sense. Plus tht, we have a great variety of races, religions and languages in India- (we also have mangolian race in the noth east). The peculiar feature of india is unity in diversity :)
All these racial and religious divisions are utter non sense. Wht matters is tht we r all human beings, and all human beings irrespective of race, gender or nationality are equal :)

nah, you are planing to induct your crazy ideas to us, half of the world population originated in india!!!!! sssuuurrrreee, you think just because india's population has reached at 1 billion people will believe that?
tell you what, aryans were a white tribe originated from ural-altai vicinity- the birth place of all white race and tribes- from there they immigrated to east europe, caucusia and turkey and north india, and they enslaved indians for a couple of milleniaes. this is the obviouse fact, stop dreaming.
