Chapter 7 The Indo-European Homeland

The evidence of the oldest literary records of the Indo-European family of

languages, the Rigveda and the Avesta, as we have seen, clearly and

unambiguously depicts a movement of the “Indo-Iranians” from the east to the

west and northwest.

And Central Asia and Afghanistan, which, according to the standard theory, is

the route by which the Indoaryans migrated into India, turns out to be the

route by which the Iranians migrated westwards and northwards.

This deals a body-blow to a very vital aspect of the theory which places the

original Indo-European homeland to the northwest of Central Asia (ie. in and

around South Russia), and it lends strong support to the theory that the

Indo-European family of languages originated in India.
