Genetics and the Aryan Debate: 'Early Indians' Tony Joseph's Latest Assault

From the preface: Since the early nineties, there has been intense and furious debate regarding AIT or “Aryan Invasion theory”, which claims that a group of people speaking Indo- European (“Aryan”) languages entered India sometime in the second millennium BCE and established their language, religion and culture all over North India. Throughout its history, debate was based on three academic disciplines: Linguistics, Archeology and Textual/ Inscriptional data. However, the weight of the evidence in these three fields is now increasingly confirms the rival theory, the OIT or “Out Of India theory” which sees India as the original homeland of these languages. So the proponents of the AIT have recently abandoned these three fields and have started falling back on a totally new field of study: Genetics 

The spokesperson for the AIT since the last few years is one Tony Joseph, through his articles in The Hindu. Tony Joseph has now written a full-fledged volume titled – “Early Indians” (262 pp), published by Juggernaut books, New Delhi 2018. Since the book is the subject of a full-fledged systemic and intense media campaign, this present work analyses the whole “genetic” case for the AIT as per this book by Tony Joseph and demonstrates how Genetics is irrelevant to the problem of the ancient history of Indo-European languages.
