There are plenty of jokers all over the world, from Iran to Ireland claiming themselves to be "Aryans". It is important to set the record straight on the original land of the Aryans.
I will now provide clear irrevocable proof on the location of Aaryaavarta - the land of the Aaryas.
Here is a direct quote from Manusmrti, Chapter 2, lines 21 to 23 :-
<i>
21. That country which lies between the Himavat and the Vindhya mountains to the east of Prayaga and to the west of Vinasana (the place where the river Sarasvati disappears) is called Madhyadesa (the central region).
22. But (the tract) between those two mountains (just mentioned), which (extends) as far as the eastern and the western oceans, the wise call Aryavarta (the country of the Aryas).
23. That land where the black antelope naturally roams, one must know to be fit for the performance of sacrifices; (the tract) different from that (is) the country of the Mlecchas (barbarians).
</i>
It is fairly obvious that Aaryaavarta lies within India.
Furthermore it is clearly stated that the lands outside this region are the lands of the Mlecchas(barbarians). So all the white Europoid tribes like Yavanas (Greeks), Parthavas (Parthians), Pahlavas (an Iranian tribe) and red haired Scythians and Tocharians are all barbarians unfit to be called Aryan.
<b>It is also interesting to note that skin color is not mentioned even once in the entire Manusmrti.</b>
It is also very important to note that the Black antelope is a species that is found only in India. It is not found in Central Asia, Iran or Europe. This is further proof that Aaryaavarta is in India.
