Confusion over Indo-European

[Guest guest]

In my opinion, there is confusion on the adjective "Indo-European". To

the best of my knowledge the AIT or AMT theory does not profess the

invasion of (migration to)the ancient India by people from the ancient

Europe. It is trying to show us some groups of the ancient

people(accidently named Aryans ) spread from the area somewhere north of

the present Afghanistan in both directions in the west to Europe and in

the east to India.So there was prehistoric invasion (or migration to) of

Europe just like the northwest India .It is proved that the word "Aryan"

has no relationship to the original population of Europe before this

spread took place. If we would like to know more about the prehistory of

India, we need to know the proper tribal names of the ancient (around

1000 BCE-King Soloman's time) people living in the east of Khyber pass.

"Arya" is not a tribal name. Since Prof Witzel refers to the Kuru (proper

name) supertribe in the east of Khyber pass, I politely raised the

question about the clan names of people west of Khyber pass. He was kind

enough to offer the information(Indology-June2). To the best of my

knowledge, the names cited by him are the names of areas, satrapies,

mountains and not the proper names of the tribes or clans except "maada

(medes)" and Paarsa(persians). To the best of my knowledge, the name

"maada" is not a clan name but the name of the place Medes belonged to in

the distant past. Persians have multiple clan names, not a single name

"Persian". Please correct me kindly if I am wrong. At the end I would

like to add that the adjective Indo-European could be safely used to

suggest the landscape from India to East Europe. Thanks. N.R.Joshi.
