I am from Manipur. I have check my DNA 75% East Asian 25% South Asian mostly Thai. But proud Indian.

Nobody is a bigger expert than some random guy in the comment section

In 3022 ad these type of people will say that sikh people originated in Canada and migrated as far as India.

Wasn’t the original cast system based on the work people did and capable of doing rather than based on birth which is what it is now?

😭😭Most of the Indians can't digest that they don't wanna go that deep in history💔😹

I ordered a pizza after seeing this video.

Only agenda 👎😠

Arya is a sanskrit word which means one who is forward looking. It was used as a title for persons in high social position.

This obsession with pure blood race gives me some harry potter vibes.

I don't care where my ancestors came from. I'm happy to be a part of India.

"The Veda was the most precious gift for which the West had ever been indebted to the East" - Voltaire

This seems to be correct from all other theories that Indian is a mixed race , it's the biggest slap on who called themselves as pure Aryans or pure Dravidians....

He literally forgot to mention the Tai-Ahoms and the Mongoloids who were present in Northeastern India for literally 2000-2500 years..

What about sinauli related to Vedic period where weapon, chariots of the time parallel to Harappa

For them Mahabharata and ramayana is a mythology.... And for us aryan invasion theory is mythology........ Hisab barabar😂🤣😂🤣😂

Looking at the comment section makes me sad that history is so political

I am from Mongolian race but I'm an Indian 🇮🇳

I'm interested in knowing about these things but at the end of the day I just want to sleep peacefully in my bed....

This guy is telling racist european view of india

Everyone come from Africa. End of discussion

Q :where do Indians come from ? Ans :Mother's womb !

Russia and Europe did not exist during the Ice Age... and Central Asia was part of Eurasia India and Persia. Most of the languages ​​come from Vedic Sanskrit and Avesta... So this is proof that there is no Aryan migration in history....only India and Persia's culture, languages, people, gods and civilizations are found all over the world.

Very enlightening and truthful video. Humans never stayed at one place. We all migrated from one to another place for thousands of years. Looking forward to read the book. ❤

Side effects of British imperialism of India 🤣😂😂there is no Aryan theory read ambedkar book they say this is propoganda of birtish leading at present india follow birtish leaning rather than what own leaders say that this theory 🤦

Tamil Civilization history in Adhichanallur and keeladi /Manalur will rewrite history of Indian origin.

What we should accept that Tamil and Sanskrit might be one of the oldest languages of the nation and make an effort in learning both so that they are not lost in time.

Indus people are our ancestors

Man you yet believe in Aryan theory?🙄 I won't be reading this book

We are practically result of many races who came together. We are mixed race and I kinda find it cool as our ancestors came from various parts of the world.

BEAUTY OF KZfaq COMMENT SECTION nonexpert1: this is amazing nonexpert2: this is a lie me: I don't know anything, but let me comment something :)

Thank God I am The First Indian But discriminated for 5000 Years By some group of people know as Upper caste

That's wrong because you cannot build such a big ivc without slavery hence discrimination started with ivc

I wish we receive a file containing the pure objective unbiased history of the entire human species from some alien intellectuals (who had been observing us for millennia) that would expose our complete brutal truth and rattle, shake, and destroy the narratives built upon deceit and propaganda.

Before the results : Aryans Aryans Aryans , Aryans are great , aryan is this Aryan is that... After the results: Guys we are humans first , there is no dravidian aryans first , we r Indian .

I have the answer = we all came from mother's womb !

Whatever the matter is main thing is that we are Indians and it our duty to protect and value our identity

I came from hospital lol 😂

Near my village, thousands of Tamil palm and copper scripts left unreaded, like some garbage, sadly people don't know its value, might have some valuable information about historic lifestyle of India

Nice propaganda

Who were living in this land before all these migrations happened?

With all due respect I think the author is not thorough. Caste system already existed in India in Buddha's era which was around 500 BCE and Mr.Joseph says it came around 100 CE. Doesn't make any sense.

Indians came from India

From the UK,a proud Celt…I have to say India was easily the single most fascinating country I ever visited;and I have been fortunate to visit many countries in Asia and elsewhere. India has a diverse,distinct and rich culture…everyone should attempt to go there once in their lifetime,it’s simply amazing!!!

Now i know where the original ''tukde tukde'' gang came from :)

This dude is giving one hypothesis. He is not necessarily right, so The Quint should do a video on the other hypothesis to be unbiased.... oh wait, The Quint doesn't know what unbiased means.

A very good and well explained video. It was a mix of cultures, and not an invasion as the earlier teachings in Europe said. We learn all the time, debating is good, we can share ideas, and develop those ideas further. Those who stick to 1 answer as the "ultimate truth" are the sad losers.

Sanskrit is a Aryan language you can say it was influenced by Dravidian language but it wasnt the indian language at all

They say they thought us our culture, then accept vedic culture and leave Christianity.

I believe one should always listen and read from different perspective as No one in today's ear has seen what actually happened. It's all depends from where their knowledge come from. Thanks for sharing your concepts.

I am Hindu of Centre-Right convictions. Expected to see some extreme left wing propaganda. But I found some very reasonable points made: 1.We ARE a mixed people (exact mix is unknown and probably not that important) 2. The caste system was a socio-political construct, which later found some scriptural backing through retroactive interpretation. What makes "Aryan migration" contentious and potentially dangerous has nothing to do with any delusion of racial purity, but a) The suggestion that all of our civilizational output was imported wholesale, as opposed to being indigenously developed. I'm glad Mr. Joseph steers clear of such claims. b) The misguided conclusion that *some* people draw: That some present-day Indians are pure descendants of the invading Aryas and others are pure descendants of the oppressed natives, which also the speaker refutes. Probable point of divergence (What makes me more Right): Despite not based on a single language or narrowly defined faith and far from being perfect (whatever that means), our civilization is uniquely identifiable, and is a vital source of identity and pride to many of us. This makes us a Civilization-state (as opposed to a nation state).

We are aryans biggest joke of century😆😅🤣😂

everyone were Africans... end of conversation.

I tested my DNA and found that 100% I'm an alien species ... LOL

This video needs update to include Tamilian civilization discovered recently.

In the end we all are from pengea✌️

abey quint wale agenda leke misinformation post karte hai. matlab bilkul pureeee misinformation. i hope people realise how wrong this is and research on their own without using these quint, scroll or the wire as sources!

Yes, caste System has divided India very well. It's a curse and it has strengthened its roots over time.

He uses the metaphor of a pizza but forgot to mention who ate the pizza ...and that is the BRITISH EMPIRE....

Tamil...oldest....close to elamite, a language of people from zagros mountains in southern Iran...these people were the ancestors of harappans...so, everyone of us is a foreigner except the indigenous onga and sentinelese living in the Andaman...bohot gyaan pel diya😂

He said everything about indian civilization without giving any evidence to support its theory...these are called great people.

North Indians and tamilians are more aggressive when it comes to their race. Hindi people don't like tamilians and vice versa. Aryans and Dravidian! Is it worth fighting now?

Whenever guy comes out with some theory of past i got really afraid of there political agendas.

I have 75% Persian ancestry and 25% ASI ancestry. I am living in Karnataka.

This is just Theory. Who knows what Really happened.

Brahmins claim themselves as pure race and called the meaning of 'Aryans' is wise people , however , pure race does not exist in indian subcontinent as far as the DNA experiment is concerned . And not to mention that the so-called talks of pseudo historians that the British has created "Divide and Rule " policy but it is true that the Brahmins alone divided our society through its heinous creation the caste system before the British . The British may inspire by the brahmins to divide us , in my opinion.

I'm foreigner who try to study Indian History, Well done.

this tony joseph theory is fully bogus, he is a journalist with an agenda, not a archaeologist.

He is factually correct.

We fight with tooth and nail on where we came from, but change will chew us up, for we still do not know where we are going!

I am working on a THEORY , my topic is Why INDIANS are busy in fighting in the name of CASTE RELIGION RACE LANGUAGE CULTURE Skin COLOUR citizenship 😂😁😀😀

I'm from Indonesia, most of us, specially those from the Islands of Sumatra and Java would have 15 - 80% South Asian, vary from place to place.

Teach it to dalit army calling themselves moolnivasi and using it as an excuse to show hatred towards upper caste calling them aryan or invaders while real theory says migration

In India or Islamic Countries ppls identified as only Religion, Caste, Sects only, Not by Race or Ethnicity 🤔

Wasn't it recently debated that Aryan was a made up word by a European archeologist, which he took out of context from Vedas

So many triggered " Aryans " , who are not even pure breed😁😁

A society always settles into a hierarchy - remember the Romans (patricians and plebeians) and monarchy and feudalism which has operated in the world for past 3000 years do not regard equality of humans as central. It is in the modern times that humans are trying to pivot societies around meritocracy where birth and background matter less for social and economic mobility. So my Christian brother please do not force fit your Tukde gang analogy to indicate that all societies beyond South Asia were based on equality.

so are the south indians the original inhabitants???

Marry a decent person from a different caste, that's the best way to end the caste system :-)

He fails to mention another group which is mainly found in Himalayan and East Indian - Sino-Tibetan people.

Baseless theory

Recently, geneticists have begun using these two terms (to avoid much controversy): Ancestral North Indian (ANI) and Ancestral South Indian (ASI). * ASI is the population mixture of Iranian agriculturalists with the first settlers (hunter-gatherers) of India from Africa (mixing occurred around 9000 years ago [7000 BC]). * ANI is the population mixture of the Steppe pastoralists ("Aryans") with the ASI (mixing began around 4000 years ago [2000 BC]). Today, every Indian (except in certain regions such as North-East India and tribes in Andaman islands) has a mixture of both ASI and ASI genetic makeup. No one has pure ANI or pure ASI genetic makeup. Only the percentage of each differs in each individual based on many factors, including region; so South Indians tend to have more ASI genes than ANI. The Africans who settled in India 65,000 years ago are the original inhabitants. Their genes are present in all Indians as I mentioned above as ASI and ANI.

Beautiful explanation. More than half of the population is mixed breed, so there's no need be sensetive about it. What's needed is accept the fact and move on from people's side. There's nothing wrong in being Aryan or Dravid, as I said, more than half of population are mixed breed and moreover we all have been living together since thousands of years. What's needed is moving on and solving on-going problems.

India doesn't need any theory,

so this applies for whole south asia ?

Damn it's all politics...🤨😶

1st they said Invasion Then they say Migration After some time they will say Aryan was Tourist 😂

Bal Gangadhar Tilak and the Arctic Bal Gangadhar Tilak's emphasis on cultural-historical geography, evident in study of the Vedas, was an important intervention when geographical determinism was gaining dominance Sri Aurobindo, the renowned Vedic scholar, in his work, The Secret of the Vedas, appreciates Tilak’s interpretation noting that by examining the “Vedic Dawn, the figure of the Vedic cows, and the astronomical data of the hymns”, a strong probability of the Aryan race “descending from the Arctic regions in the glacial period” emerges.

This is a sensitive topic for many Indians as well since many have their identity attached to greatness of noble Vedic culture and Aryan ancestry. A few questions that pop in mind: * If India's political boundary today also included all the ancient Vedic cultures (Europe, Iran etc) and was called "Bharata", would one still be trying to prove "Out of India" theory? * Why not have a "Out of Kishkinda" theory where forest dwellers of Kishikinda jungles moved northward and mixed with Indians living in the gangetic plain (sure they do have some common genes)? or an "Out of Mexico or Brazil" theory where European migration into Americas never happened but it was the reverse? * How does one account for the fact that Europeans and most other Indo-European speakers in West Asia DO NOT HAVE any (that is, zero or virtually zero) South Asian IVC-related admixture in their DNA? (IVC = Indus Valley)? Does it not clearly show the direction of migration? I think an Aryan "Migration" happened and not invasion - IVC was already on a decline when Aryans came to India. Sure there were some initial violent interactions between Aryans and early settlers people in IVC, but that was a norm between different tribes/races around the world at that time and shouldn't be judged by today's moral standards (Classic books such as Sapiens or Third Chimpanzee is a great read in this area). My admiration for "Maryada purushottam" Lord Rama or Vedas still stands tall despite Aryan migration. An example of invasion is what Putin is doing in Ukraine today which is totally immoral. I do understand there could be a political ramification of this where a certain section calls "descendants of these Aryan settlers" (read "upper castes") as "foreigners". Many fear this has the potential to divide India and I acknowledge that sentiment, however in today's connected globalized multicultural world, people of all cultures/castes/races are "melting", does it matter anymore? If one reads books such as Sapiens and The Third Chimpanzee, we would understand how homo sapiens around the world are all connected, and have continuously migrated & come together to bring about big changes in how we live since we were hunter gatherers. No ethnic group around the world can claim an “original” homeland anymore, including the aborigines in Andaman or in Papua New Guinea. People need to be educated about this and the one-ness of entire humanity and not fall into trap of "one group is more exclusive/superior than other". Ironically, isn't this what "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" is about which we Indians are so familiar with? We shouldn't judge history by today's moral standards. History should be accepted as it is without any shame - be it good or bad. Glory of our ancient past doesn't become any less, and I am still proud of our Aryan forefathers. In conclusion, I would like to say that choice of words do matter as it has the power to send subconscious messages when we hear them. The words "invasion / raiders / annihilators / barbarians" isn't the right one to use for reasons mentioned above - context and history should be taken into account as well. Historians have a moral responsibility to be sensitive to perceptions created by the words they use.

Since u wrote book... we can’t accept everything... in tamilnadu go to a place called KEELADI and then write your second book

Hope I could travel back in past like Bran Stark

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF VEDAS IS NOW FORGOTTEN THE VEDANT PART (ADVAIT). BUT EVEN IF WE JUST BE HONEST NOW THEN WE COULD BECOME A BETTER SOCIETY.

Iranian are the original Aryans who invaded India from the west, this what we call it as ARYAN INVASION. The country Name Iran itself means "Land of the Aryans" and Iranshahr. The very close relation between Iranian and Indo-Aryan groups has never been doubted. They share linguistic features to such a degree that Indo-Iranian is generally described as a distinct subgroup of Indo-European. The term Arya has been used by the Iranian people, as well as by the rulers and emperors of Iran, from the time of the Avesta. The well-attested Indo-Iranian languages are Vedic Sanskrit, Avestan and Old Persian. Sanskrit and Avestan are very closely related languages with exact grammatical principles and numerous cognates [Blood Relative]. You can find words which are exactly identical, like Sanskrit/Avestan naman (name), ushtra (camel) etc. Language, literature, epics & poems evolves every century. In Vedic/Hindu literature, Asuras (Ahuras) are bad guys while Devas are heroes. In Zoroastrian/Persian literature, Ahuras (Asuras) are heroes while Daevas are the villains. When the Vedic Aryans moved further, they arrived in the Indian subcontinent they were faced by the native Dravidians, Dravidians that got conquered were placed as low caste in Vedic Aryan society. The Vedic Aryans continued to call the enemy as “Asuras", but the description of the Asuras changed to Dravidians (i e. present day south-Indians) with dark skin, large facial hair etc. This itself is a proof that Rigveda evolved in Persia i.e. present day Iran and moved to Indian sub-continent. Initially Asuras (Ahuras) were referring to Zoroastrian/Persian and in later days Asuras were used to refer Dravidians. We have all the proofs for Aryan invasion in Rig Veda itself. Dasyus were the people who lived in India when the Aryans arrived here. They were having a dark-skin and flat noses. Battles depicted in the R̥gveda are directly referring to Aryans migrating into India which is native land of dark skinned people Dravidians. Rig Veda - Dasa: 54 hymns and 63 verses and Dasyus: 65 hymns, 80 verses. The accounts of conflict between the Aryans and the Dasas and Dasyus are acknowledged in Rig Veda. Rig Veda describes that Dasas and Dasyus were people who do not perform sacrifices. Aryans had to fight with these people for land. The Aryans defeated them and did not treat them well. The Aryan chief who overpowered Dasyus were called dasyuhatya (slaughter of the dasyus) this is repeatedly mentioned in the Rig Veda. Read the following to know more on this same subject Aryan by Birth - Upper Caste Fair Skin NORTH Indian (Brahmin, Kshatriyas & Vaisyas) Dravidian by Birth - Lower caste Dark Skin Sudras & Paraiahs / Panchamas (Dalits / Tribes) People living in Indian Sub continent who are ALL fair in complexion have mostly Steppe land R1A1 genes in their DNA these people are basically Aryan. More than caste it is the Skin color which decides whether some one is Aryan Or Dravidians. People living in Indian Sub continent who are Dark in complexion have mostly South Asian Hunter Gatherer genes in their DNA these people are Dravidian [Tamils] basically. Tamils means all Sudras & Paraiahs / Panchamas (Dalits / Tribes) lived/living across Indian sub - continent. Even today, you can see dark skinned and pale dark skinned people living across India in all places, they were all Tamils only in ancient India. "Justice H N Nagamohan Das Commission panel" says, Indian Vedic philosophy lead to social inequality and caste system, All these happened because of Brahmins, Upanishads, Manusrmiti, and epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana...” the commission said in its July 2020 report, which the BJP government formally accepted. The panel report also says that people belonging to Dravidian race resided in North India once upon a time. “Many foreign invaders such as ARYANS, Persians, Greeks, Huns, Turks, Mongolians, Europeans etc came and fought against local people. The rulers who won the war developed relations with local women and consequently emerged mixed races” About Kasthriyas, who ever had the courage and willpower they counqured the land [It is very difficult for a Sudhra to achieve this], for them even if they are from lower caste, Brhamins did NOT had any choice. So, Brahmins accepted who ever won the war as Kasthriyas except Muslim. Kasthriya Kings always married fair and good looking girls mostly. So, Kasthriyas community have a mix of Upper caste and lower caste DNAs in them. The ancient text Manusmriti designate the Shudra as Peasants and Artisans i.e. Farmers and All Craftsman, Shudra is NOT to mean slaves. Read the following facts about DNA Studies. Why R1A1 DNA originates in EUROPE, but not in india. why it is it not found or too less in percentage among South Indian people ? Why M haplogroups DNA is not found in Upper caste Aryans or North indians ? If found why so less ? If you have read Vedas there are lots of mention about a food made of Horse meat, then why HORSES are not native to INDIA ? Why copper hoard culture found only with Aryans, but not with Dravidians ? Why antenna swords found in Sinauli - India which belongs to BMAC - Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex ? Haplo M is found among 60% of modern day indians. It is in every person from south. But here’s the main catch ! It’s only found in depressed classes of northern and tribal peoples of northen india. But, almost to zero to 1-4% among Higher caste Aryans or North indians. Just like R1A1 not found in south in the same way south’s M groups are not found among R1A1 peoples of north. So, it is proved beyond doubt that "ALL upper caste Fair Skin North Indians are ALL ARYANS, and all lower caste Dark Skin Sudras & Paraiahs / Panchamas (Dalits / Tribes) are all Dravidians"

Also one more important factor to be noticed is the effect of climate on development of physical traits.

I think Dravidians were the first people on the Indian subcontinent and were related to the aboriginals of Australia. The Aryans were related to the Afghans/Persians, because they also called themselves 'Aryan', their native religion was similar to Hinduism and their ancient language was similar to Sanskrit. Harappa civilization had Shiva worshippers, so they had their own form of Hinduism.

True.. I always think why some people from tamilnadu are black than majority of North? some say due to heat and warm weather then how Arabs are white? Then they should be black as well.. So there is a migration happened from Africa.

Alternate truths as usual by Quint. My dear sir while I agree with most of what you say. The term Aryan is more like a quality than a race or person. There is a slight almost undiscernible twisting going on with the truth.

What about keezhadi findings in Tamilnadu?

This is problem of congress.. they consider aryans came from west.. just because nehru wrote it in book in jail..

India is just a mixture of various old civilisations then

Basically Sanskrit language are similar to old slavic
