BURSTING THE BUBBLE 'ARYAN INVASION & DRAVIDIAN' MYTHS

BURSTING THE BUBBLE 'ARYAN INVASION & DRAVIDIAN' MYTHSI request the readers to read the article 'How genetics is settling the Aryan migration debate' from this link-->https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/how-genetics-is-settling-the-aryan-migration-debate/article19090301.eceEven though the article a little bit lengthy, please do not miss it. It is an eye opener and bursts the following myths with DNA analysis based research by eminent historians in Indian subcontinent, Europe and the USA:Myth 1: Indians were the earliest and they are Aryans.Myth 2: Aryans invaded India from Eurasia.Myth 3: Dravvidians have nothing to do with Aryans or any migration into the Indian Subcontinent from Eurasia. I once again remind you please go through the entire article. I would site this portion of the article which makes it very clear that we are multiethnic for many millennials with the exception of  Andaman and NIcobar Islands tribe: ----------------------------- "So far, we have only looked at the migrations of Indo-European language speakers because that has been the most debated and argued about historical event. But one must not lose the bigger picture: R1a lineages form only about 17.5 % of Indian male lineage, and an even smaller percentage of the female lineage. The vast majority of Indians owe their ancestry mostly to people from other migrations, starting with the original Out of Africa migrations of around 55,000 to 65,000 years ago, or the farming-related migrations from West Asia that probably occurred in multiple waves after 10,000 B.C., or the migrations of Austro-Asiatic speakers such as the Munda from East Asia the dating of which is yet to determined, and the migrations of Tibeto-Burman speakers such as the Garo again from east Asia, the dating of which is also yet to be determined.What is abundantly clear is that we are a multi-source civilization, not a single-source one, drawing its cultural impulses, its tradition and practices from a variety of lineages and migration histories." --------------------------- In news channels in Tamil you can find the right wing vs Dravidian or Communist party representatives getting so worked up, while the 'dravidian' school claims cultural distinction and Tamil Nadu is and its people are a distinct race, the right wing tries to sell 'Sanathana Dharma' as ever. In Tamil Nadu 'Dravidian' politics is now a century old and in national politics, in the past two decades the right wing has reaped huge vote gains selling the kichadi of Patriotism+Ethnicity+Culture+Claims of epic literature as proof of history.  Democracy is reduced to a game of numbers when there is representation only for the majority in the seats of power and decision making.
