In the process, Bryant presents a complete exposition and analysis of views addressing the issue of Indo-Aryan origins.Western scholars have argued that Indian civilization was the joint product of an invading Indo-European people--the "Indo-Aryans"--and indigenous non-Indo European peoples. Although Indian scholars reject this European reconstruction of their country's history, Western scholarship gives little heed to their argument. In this book, Edwin Bryant explores the nature and origins of this fascinating debate.Electronic books.lcshBryant Edwin957828StDuBDSStDuBDSUkPrAHLSBOOK9910450351803321The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture2170088UNINA
