India has been invaded by Greeks, Persians and British. Like Aryans, all these people are descended from a small group of women who lived in South India 50,000 years ago. The Aryan Invasion Theory or Aryan Migration Theory was invented by Max Mueller and based on eurocentrism and faulty observation. DNA research and archeological finds have completely discredited the Aryan invasion theory.

It is unlikely that there was ever an 'Aryan' Invasion of India. It is a now discredited theory invented over a hundred years ago by racist, Christian missionary influenced colonialists. There is no proof of any such invasion, and 'Aryan' does not refer to a race - as pointed out later on by Max Muller, the man who came out with the theory in the first place . The word 'Arya' means noble and it was used exclusively in India, Iran and Afghanistan. Population genetics research has proven that an 'Aryan' Invasion could never have taken place. DNA research indicates that nearly all European women are descended from a small group of women who lived in South India 50,000 years ago. The descendants of these women moved north, and migrated into the Near East, Europe and east Asia.
First I don't buy the theory of Aryan Invasion of India[AIT]. The religion created by the Vedic Aryans was not polytheistic in principle. The gods of The Vedas are personifications of the stages of the Creation Process of the Universe.If one could see a kind of polytheism in the Puranic Form of the Sanatana Dharma, that is more recent than the Vedic Religion of the Aryans. The definition of an Aryan is not a race but the acceptance of The Vedas as the extra-temporal authority.
The Aryan invasion of India never occurred. It was a theory developed by Max Mueller to explain similarities between European and Indian languages and people. DNA research later showed that Aryan people, Dravidian people, and most Europeans are all descended from a small group of women who lived in South India around 50,000 years ago.

Aryan empire
Vedas do not represent just the Aryan society, Dravidian are the original people of India and Vedas were written in India, so its not just a Aryan literature.
