The Aryan Invasion Theory was a concept invented by the British that it used to divide and conquer India. It has no proof or records anywhere in India's written record. It promoted a racist view that a superior light skinned European tribe called the Aryans and invaded the inferior dark skinned Dravidians and pushed that to the South. The British could not understand why India had an Indo-European language and then claimed that the culture was imported to them from Britain. This is however not the case and historians and even classical philosophers have confirmed that if anything European language and cultural roots perhaps came from India to Europe and not the other way around.
There is more ethnic variation among castes but as a whole most Indians belong to one race. 97% of all Indians belong to a Mediterranean Caucasoid race. The only real difference between Northern "Aryans" and Southern "Dravidians is language and in some cases skin color (as darker skin always occurs in cultures living close to the equator).
And yet this debunked fiction is still being taught in schools across India and only divides the countries. What can we do to stop the spread of it and introduce better history education in India (on their own history)?
