| Rahamatullaji,
I agree with many of your points ..Particluarly this -
Romila Thapar claims that Aryans invaded India and introduced the caste system. Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad Director Lalji Singh's main findings are: Aryans began to arrive in India only after 1,500 BC from Central Asia. Caste system emerged some 8,000 years ago when there was a shift in the way of life from hunting gathering to the rudimentary farming and the first settlements.
____________________________________________________
First of all Romila Thapar is not the proper authority to decide about the Aryan Invasion - I am sure you are aware that the Aryan Invasion theory has been proved wrong. And about Lalji Singh, they were his 'Conclusions' - not findings ...
His notes were based on the fact that the the DNA of North Indians differed from those of South Indians ... and he concluded that Aryan Invasion took place ... but when it was proved that the DNA of North Indians differed from the DNA of European and Central Asian people, the whole concept of ASryan Invasion came crashing on its nose - and it has been proved that India, right from the beginning had been housing people belonging to multiple races. Even Prof Witzel had been made to chance his stance.
