In the process, Bryant presents a complete exposition and analysis of views addressing the issue of Indo-Aryan origins. 330 $bWestern 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. 608 $aElectronic books.$2lcsh 700 $aBryant$b Edwin$0957828 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 801 2$bUkPrAHLS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450351803321 996 $aThe Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture$92170088 997 $aUNINA
