abstract
  • There have been numerous hypotheses regarding the origin of the Historical Vedic religion. Early 18th and 19th Century Western Indologists considered this religion to be a polytheistic and pantheistic religion practiced by a group of invaders called Indo-Aryans who were pastoral and tribal in their culture. The prominent proponent of this theory was Prof. Freidrich Max Muller, who has also translated the works of Sayanacharya's commentary on Vedas on the basis of linguistics of a fictional Proto-Indo-European language. He had rejected the Brahamanaic and Vedanga based translations, which were Monotheistic in nature. This theory has been rejected by most scholars who claim by genetic, archaeological, historical and textual evidences of the Indo-Aryans being of native origin. There are a few historians, who have Marxist origins politically, who still claim Indo-Aryans to be foreigners. Though even they have melted their 'Invasion' hypotheses to simply peaceful migrations.
