Summary of Vedic "Aryans" and the origins of civilization: A literary and scientific perspective

Another far-reaching consequence of this research is that the "Aryan" invasion of India can be challenged by both science and literature. This book shows that the Aryan-invasion theory is a product of European politics--notably German nationalism and British colonial policy.
