  1. let me tell you something.

    I am from Pakistan and some of my ancestors were from the Aryan race, Chinese/Mongolian race, and from the Middle East.

    truth is that The Aryan race originally from Europe spread through the middle east countries...

    So of course they could have gone to India, but then again remember that India was invaded by the British aswell.. :D


  2. Your right to note similarities, but the sequence is otherwise. The history is about opposite: Aryans migrated into both Europe and India long before the nations of India or modern Europe existed. Its a common heritage, not a causal relationship that is the Aryan invasion theory.

    Central Asia is a deep pool from which several waves of immigration swept over the millennium, from the Aryans to the Huns to the Mongols. The famous ancient  mummies of Urumchi, found preserved in the desert regions between China and the steppes, seem to be strikingly like Celts (tall, red-haired, wearing tartan clothing )--certainly not Mongol or Chinese.

    The ripple effects from the appearances of the heretofore unknown peoples are the major events in world history, and still too little understood and known.

  3. Alexander conquered much of what became Northern India and Pakistan, and many Greeks settled in the new cities he built.  This may account for the green & blue eyes of many northern Indians.
