Indo-Aryan Migration - Contrary View

Contrary View

See also: Indigenous Aryan Theory and Out of India Theory

The notion of Indigenous Aryans posits that speakers of Indo-Aryan languages are "indigenous" to the Indian subcontinent. The "Indigenous Aryans" position may entail an Indian origin of Indo-European languages, and in recent years, the concept has been increasingly conflated with an "Out of India" origin of the Indo-European language family. This contrasts with the model of Indo-Aryan migration which posits that Indo-Aryan tribes migrated to India from Central Asia.

Famous quotes containing the words contrary view, contrary and/or view:

    “Novelists are perhaps the last people in the world to be entrusted with opinions. The nature of a novel is that it has no opinions, only the dialectic of contrary views, some of which, all of which, may be untenable and even silly. A novelist should not be too intelligent either, although ... he may be permitted to be an intellectual.”
    —Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)

    “I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives when it’s so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “There is a hearty Puritanism in the view of human nature which pervades the instrument of 1787. It is the work of men who believed in original sin, and were resolved to leave open for transgressors no door which they could possibly shut.”
    —James Bryce (1838–1922)
