Aryan Dravidian Myth

Indians are descendents of two genetically diverse ancient populations, Ancestral South Indians and Ancestral North Indians, who respectively, came to the subcontinent 65,000 and 45,000 years ago. Ancestral North Indians, is closer to Middle Easterners, Central Asians, and Europeans. At some point in time these two groups, which don’t exist now, mixed and thus became Indian history.


















Aryan invasion theory states that around the middle of the 4th millennium an “unknown disturbance” triggered Indo Europeans tribes in Central Asia on a trip across the continent. These nomadic people wandered around looking for a place where there is water,sun and food for their cattle. They reached India, around 1500 – 1200 BCE and during the journey “forgot” about their wanderings through Iran and central asia. These Indo Europeans mixed with the native Dravidians, but 3500 years later, those divisions are still exploited by politicians.


















There are differences between caste groups and between Dravidian speakers and Indo European speaking population, but despite those differences, they are closer to each other than to outsiders like east asians or europeans. The cause being, after the intial event, only few external genes mixed into the Indian gene pool. Thus the Dravidian Jaylalitha and the Indo European Rani Mukherjee are not different genetically or in simple words: Aryan Dravidian divide did not happen.
