Witzel takes his Aryan Invasion to Pakistan

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->.....
Though largely ignored by the Indian media, two major developments have sounded the death knell of the Aryan invasion theory. These are: (1) genetic evidence showing that the Indian population is almost entirely indigenous with negligible input from outsiders going back to the last Ice Age (more than 10,000 years); and (2)<b> British admission that the Aryan invasion theory was concocted to serve imperial interests, because, “it gave a historical precedent to justify the role and status of the British Raj, who could argue that they were transforming India for the better in the same way that the Aryans had done thousands of years earlier.”

In 1929, the British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin stated in the House of Commons: “Now, after ages, …the two branches of the great Aryan ancestry have again been brought together by Providence… By establishing British rule in India, God said to the British, I have brought you and the Indians together after a long separation, …it is your duty to raise them to their own level as quickly as possible …brothers as you are…” </b>Need we say more? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
