Okay. I can agree with this. Invasion or inward migration is pretty

much the same thing, differing only in the relative social positions

of the migrants afterwards. As for the rest of your arguments, they

are mere assertions with weak assumptions and no evidence. Who said

that the peoples of Central Asia or southern Russia were starving

4000 years ago? I have seen no evidence either supporting nor

refuting this. These people were nomads, probably riding horses. They

could easily have migrated from southern Russia across Central Asia,

and over the Khyber Pass into India, leaving their homes behind.

Whether they did this peacefully, coming to India in much the same

manner as I moved from India to the USA 25 years ago, or as

militaristic conquerers is impossible to determine.

I am Indian. My husband is an American of European ancestry. He is

certainly not an anti-indian racist; he married an Indian and

worships Kali alongside his wife quite frequently. He has studied

such matters in great detail for many years. Why would he support

this position if it is a lie that has been disproved? The answer is

that it has not been disproved, despite the efforts of some people to

claim this.
