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. 606 $aIndo-Aryans$xOrigin 606 $aIndus civilization 607 $aIndia$xHistory$yTo 324 B.C 615 0$aIndo-Aryans$xOrigin. 615 0$aIndus civilization. 676 $a934/.02 700 $aBryant$b Edwin F$g(Edwin Francis),$f1957-$01480014 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783351303321 996 $aThe quest for the origins of Vedic culture$93699326 997 $aUNINA
