Jawaharlal Nehru, first prime minister of India supported Aryan theory of pastoral nomads migrating from area which is now Rostov (Russia) and Luhansk (Ukraine) oblast into what is now considered Afghanistan. This group then separated into two branches, one which settled in area of Central Asia/Iran and other in area of Pakistan and Northern India.
>"The Aryans must have arrived in India some 5000 or 6000 years ago, perhaps earlier. Wave after wave, Family after Family must have come for centuries over the Mountains of the Northwest. The attack of the Aryan pastoralists on the peasant Agricultural settlements led to the development of the early Vedic society." - Nehru
This theory is these days disowned by both India and Iran, where Indians prefer two other concepts of Vedic civilization. One being conceived by Harappeans and second somewhat accepted concept is that of Iranians conquering area of modern Pakistan and imposing Vedic civilization on Harrapeans. Iranians also support 2nd concept where they claim Aryan identity of Iran came to be in region Parsa, without influence of nomads who cam from area of modern Afghanistan.
Indian government will not accept this theory or rather historical fact for two reasons. One it will then give fuel to the South Indian claim that not only did the Aryans invade the land, but then they imposed their religion, created a caste system and oppressed them for thousands of years. Which is the Dravida Nadu claim. Nehru tried to kill this issue via a program called national integration, when he extracted a few villages from Kerala and planted them Madhya Pradesh and vice versa. This didn't work, it was a failed experiment, he also tried to impose Hindi as a national language when the constitution guaranteed to protect the integrity of all regional languages. It is important to note that those who seek debunk this historical narrative are also the same people who are trying to impose the Hindutva narrative on the people.
