H. R. Ursekar is a Brahmin scholar who has many books to his credit on Hindu religion and philosophy. In his book, Essays on indology, he has admitted that the Aryans are foreigners. The book was written in 1981. But the Aryans are now trying desperatly to prove that they have not migrated to this country. Here is the proof from this Brahmin scholar about the Aryan original abode :
He says : “As regards the location of the home of the Aryans there are diametrically opposite views.
According to Tilak the original cradle of the Aryans was in the polar regions. (Arctic Home in the Vedas). For this hypothesis he inter alia relies upon the Vedic imagery of prolonged nights and dawns.
Russia was Aryan home : Penka also independently comes to the same conclusion. B. K. Ghosh contends on the strength of comparative philology that having regard to the geographical distribution of the idioms of the Indo-European speech family, the original Aryan home was in Europe. He refers specially to the Lithuanian (Lithuania was a state in the former USSR, now an independent nation-Ed.) in this behalf., (Vedic Age p.202).
Piggott : On the other hand Piggott says that the most reasonable hypothesis satisfying the demands of philology and archaeology is the view that the Indo- European languages evolved among the earliest agriculturists of the South Russian Steppes and the land eastwards to the Caspian seas. (Pre-historic india, Piggott, p.248) The view is shared by J.L. Myres, Peake and Childe, Schrader and Jhering.
How the Aryans distributed geographically? : From Southern Russia one branch of the Aryans migrated towards north-western Europe which later on emerged as the Greeks, Italians, Germans and Celts. The other bransh swerved towards south – east into Persia and India. it is known as the Indo-Iranian period. Rig Veda compiled outside India : One branch of the Aryans came down into India. According to Piggott, the Rig Veda seems to represent the entrance phase of the Aryans in India.
He says that in the Rig Veda the Aryans are depicted as “conquering heroes” and scant tribute is paid to their contemptible opponents, more skilled in the arts of peace than in those of warfares. (Bahujan Sangharsh, Nagpur May 1, 92).
