The Myth of the Aryan Invasion of India

Description

This groundbreaking book was among the first to expose the fallacies of the Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT) and Aryan Migration Theory (AMT), originally proposed by colonial historians for political purposes rather than for understanding Indian civilization. These theories largely disregarded the profound yogic, mantric teachings and cosmic perspective of Vedic culture.

This updated edition incorporates all revisions since the original publication and features a comprehensive introduction that highlights the vastness, depth, and enduring influence of Vedic civilization. It also emphasizes its relevance to the global crises of the modern era. Challenging the Aryan Invasion/Migration Theory necessitates a rewriting of India’s history, as well as the history of Asia, Europe, and the world at large. The book is bolstered by Dr. Frawley’s extensive works on the yogic interpretation of the Vedas and numerous recent archaeological discoveries.
