An interesting take but this quote: “These slaves would have eaten them up, made “chutneyâ€? of them in five minutes.â€?…doesn’t sound like words which Swami Vivekananda would have ever used. Left a word with KarmaDude to check the reliability of the source Vivekananda’s words. But then again this may be an entirely different Swami called Vivekananda

I am yet to find any credible historian who supports the Aryan Invasion Theory. Thapar, Upinder Singh, Nayanjot Lahiri (Delhi’s ancient India specialists) all explain the pastoral culture in North India as arising from the migration of central Asian tribes over hundreds of use in gradual waves. The terms arya and dasa were fluid categories as both Thapar and Singh explain. Local groups could be incorporated in arya status, as the Rajputs were in later centuries. The Aryan Invasion theory is nothing but a bogeyman which has been serve very political ends.
