The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture: The Indo-Aryan Migration Debate

The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture: The Indo-Aryan Migration Debate by Bryant, Edwin. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780195169478.

Western scholars have argued that Indian civilization was the joint product of an invading Indo-European people--the "Indo-Aryans"--and indigenous non-Indo European peoples. Although Indian scholars reject this European reconstruction of their countrys history, Western scholarship gives little heed to their argument. In this book, Edwin Bryant explores the nature and origins of this fascinating debate.
