[quote]You also need to refresh on the outdated and no longer supported theory of the Aryans being some sort of invading group.  That has long been debunked.[/quote]

Oh please, we aren't going to start on that. It has only been debunked by Hindu nationalists.  The accepted position among scholars of linguistics, etc is that IE speakers came from outside India. [/quote]

Here's a paper from the University of West Florida debunking the Aryan invasion theory: http://uwf.edu/lgoel/documents/amythofaryaninvasionsofindia.pdf

Stephen Knapp refuted the Aryan invasion theory in his book, "Advancements of Ancient India's Vedic Culture" (look at that, a non-Hindu nationalist debunking the Aryan theory!). Here's the relevant excerpt: http://www.stephen-knapp.com/aryan_invasion_theory_the_final_nail_in_its_coffin.htm

Here's the BBC admitting that the Aryan invasion theory was a myth: https://web.archive.org/web/20060705184146/http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/hinduism/history/history5.shtml

Genetic testing on South Indians and North Indians denies a historical migrational split: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Aryan-Dravidian-divide-a-myth-Study/articleshow/5053274.cms

Here's a Harvard study debunking the Aryan invasion theory and concluding that it was a myth: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/drishtikone/2009/09/aryan-invasion-theory-myth-large-harvard-study/
