DID ARYAN AND INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION MIX TOGETHER?

 

Many Indian scholars now claim that Aryans originated in India, but the evidence, especially that of etymology does not support this view.

The Andronovo culture is a collection of local cultures that flourished between 2000-1150 BC in present day Kazakhstan and parts of Ukraine and Russia till Siberia. Almost all the scholars agree that the Andronovo culture is Indo-Iranian. This culture comprised of highly mobile communities and also settled villages comprising of 2 to 20 houses, but some villages comprising of 100 houses have also been discovered. Their livestock included cattle, horses, sheep, goats and camels.

This culture is noted for regional advanced metallurgy. They minded Copper in the Altai Mountains from around 1400 BC. This is a range where the present countries of Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan converge. Bronze objects were numerous and there were workshops for Copper.  

Their pottery is called Incised Coarse Ware or ICW which is grey and brown in colour with incisions of geometrical shapes on them. Most researchers associate this culture with early Indo Iranian languages and it is credited to have invented the spoke wheeled chariot in 2000 BC. This culture is associated with Iranian names and by the historical evidence of dominance by various Iranian speaking peoples including the Sakas(Scythians), Sarmatians and Alans.

Comparisons of archaeological evidence of the Andronovo and textual evidence of Indo Aryans( Vedas and the Avesta) are frequently made by scholars to support the Indo Iranian identity of the Andronovo culture.  In studies regarding physical appearance, Andronovo has been described by characteristics that are similar to Europeans. Through Iranian and Indo Aryan migrations this physical type came Southwards and mixed with aboriginal peoples and formed the modern population of India.

I am giving below the DNA map of the Indian states. In the map one can clearly see that Indians are a mixture of 4 races. 1. Neolithic Iranian, 2. Deep east Eurasian, 3. Western Steppe Herders and 4. East Asian.


The Southern states only have a mixture of 2 racial types; Neolithic Iranian and Deep east Eurasian. All the Northern states have a mixture of 3 races with the first 2 being the same as the Southern states with the 3rd being Western Steppe Herders. Bengal has 4 types of races with the first 3 being the same as for the Northern states and the 4th being East Asian. Orissa is almost like the Southern states but with a very slight strain of Western Steppe Herders.             

Most unfortunately, till date the script of the Indus valley given on its numerous seals has not been deciphered. Being the most ancient script India has, it may reveal some secrets. Many charlatans claim they have deciphered this script on social media which is nonsense. There is no way to decipher them unless one can compare it with another language known to us. However, none of our current languages even remotely compare with this script. Of course, the DNA map of North India clearly indicates a relationship between our people and the Iranian people but with the blood of Western Steppe herders being totally absent from South India.

That is present in both Iranians and North Indians. The Western Steppe Herders ancestry is also known as  Yamnaya ancestry. But then the point is that if Yamnaya ancestry is completely absent from the South, then is it possible that the North Indians and the South Indians have not interbred? If there had been interbreeding then the Yamnaya blood also should be present in the South Indians, but that is not so. But how can that be possible? Because both the North and South Indians share a big amount of similarity in blood for the types of both Neolithic Iranian and Deep East Eurasian in which case they must have a common ancestry. I am not able to figure this out and it puzzles me very much.
