The current history of India has an ancestry of 3,500 years, which began with the coming of the Aryans from Central Asia. Whether it was an invasion or not, is a matter of intensive debate these days. However, it is almost certain that whatever the Genetic Continuity Theory suggests, there was a sizeable migration from beyond Afghanistan. There are many reasons to assume that and many evidences to prove the phenomena. That gave rise to many theories regarding the Aryan migration to Indian sub-continent and colonization. In India, it is taught like a miracle of appearance. Coming of Aryans is viewed as coming of Aliens from an unknown region. Here, in this lesson we will clearly identify the place from where the Aryans came. It was BMAC, which is rarely discussed or talked about in India. Now we will talk about it in considerable detail.
