Sarswati Valley : Origin of Aryan People

Over last few decades,  the origin of Aryan people has been the subject of debate between scholars from western world and India. The basic difference is regarding the meaning of the word itself. Western world relates the word "Aryan" with master or superior race.  While for Hindus the word simply means "The Noble Ones". In 20th century with the rise of Nazism the Concept of Aryan race (Master Race) had emerged. Nazis abused the term Aryan to differentiate them from Jews. Later the term used by white groups to propagate their anti-black agenda.

False Aryan Invasion Theory   

Western world believed  that Aryans were nomadic tribes and India had never been their home land. Aryans migrated to India in 1500BCE from central Asia (Present day Iran). This so called Aryan Invasion led the decline of the advance Indus valley civilization. After invading India, Aryans pushed the native Dravidian speaking people towards south peninsula. Why Aryan Invasion Theory is Wrong?

Rigved and Aryans

The Rig Veda is the older portion of the Vedas. The Avesta (Zoroastrian) and Rig Veda are the only known ancient texts that contain references to Aryans. Since Rig Veda and ancient Sanskrit scriptures can be found with references to Aryans, many western scholars debate that the Vedic religion and the language Sanskrit itself were foreign to India. And Sanskrit might have roots somewhere hundreds miles away from India. 

Ganges is considered to be the most sacred river for Hindus, since the time no one knows. But Ganges is not mentioned in Vedas for more than couple of time, while we can find references to Sarswati river for more than 60 times. There are numerous hymns in Vedas praising river Sarswati. Sarswati river was considered to be holy and blessed one, according to Vedas. Its mentioned in rig Vedas that the river was almost 7km wide. Not to forget the fact that many excavated Indus valley cities are  found along with dried river Sarswati. 

One can clearly see the dried river bed of Sarswati, from satellite images. In first millennium BC Indian continent experienced climate change. The mighty river Sarswati changed it's course and old river bed started to drying up. Drying up of river effected the economy dependent on Sarswati. These consequences led people to move out of Indus valley. A group migrated toward east at Ganges valley, while other group moved to west (present day Iran).

One can trace cultural and genetic similarities between people of Indus valley and present day Indians. 

According to my own research I found that Aryans, Rig Vedas, Sanskrit and Vedic religion are originated in India. Lately the term Aryans and the great history of Aryans are distorted by European colonists.  If you have any valid information about Aryans kindly share with me.
