User:Jaykul72/Flawed Aryan Invasion Theory

Politicisation of AIT was a propaganda by the British EIC to prove their superiority over natives
It is claimed by many authors, notably by Brahm Dutt Bharti, in his book titled — Max Muller, a lifelong masquerade — that Muller masterminded a theory combining race, religion and linguistics. It is argued that this migration theory was acted as the precursor and most significant theoretical force behind Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT). Such linear interpretation of theory were popularised rather quickly in the second half of the nineteenth century, which puts forward the claims that AIT was a grand scheme, where Muller was an accomplice to the British colonial powers. Such stark claims get fanciful support even more, while sometimes overshadowing the central argumentative peice, that whether Aryan migration happened or not. Subrata Chattopadhyay Banerjee (2019).
