<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Sanskrit is one of the Languages of the Aryans, Proto-Aryan language could have been a mix of Persian, Sanskrit, Greek and Latin. No one knows what that language was, just like in the South we have Tamil, Kannada,Telugu and Malayalam which all have evolved from the same source, many people claim it originated from Tamil but Kannadigas say Kannad came first, so there is no way to verify from which what came. Same with the case of Aryan languages. Yes it could be that Indus Valley was much colder during the Ice Age and could have been on of the choices of location. One more added factor is that the Sarasvathi river dried up which could have been one of the reasons for migration or who know even the Dravidian's may have invaded the Aryans and they ran away to diffrent localities!!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You asked a valid question. As for "<b>why it cant be in the reverse direction</b>", my simple answer is 1) India doesn't allow for light skin pigmentation even during the Ice ages as the Dravidians have dark pigmentation even after the ice age and modern Indian History is only 8,000 yrs old but humans have achieved some sort of civilizations since the last 40,000 yrs. So the pigmentation must me a far longer process. 2) Central Asia is closer to Europe and India, matter of fact in between both, so distance wise for migration this should have been the probable spot for equal distribution as a central location form Spain to India and Russia to Africa. More over I don't think you also have proof for Sarasvathi valley being the cradle. Mine is based to geographical distribution and environmental cause, while the other theory geographical distribution as India in centre puts travel and distribution pretty far apart and also doesn't tackle the skin pigmentation.
<b>
Proof of what? How can anyone say where they are from? You can claim sarasvati to support some idealogical or political reason but thats no proof either.</b>
Aryans could have been from Sarasvathi but their equal distribution from Europe to India only points a central location that could have been more distribution friendly. Moreover to have less pigmentation in the Skin they must have lived in colder places longer than in warmer places like India.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->This is all nice Karthik, but lets face it what your sugesting so far is a mere theory, I mean you can choose to belive it but what your suggesting is no way proven conclusively. I dont think genetics has proven yet that there was an Aryan invasion as they say it and the Aryan theory was mainly born in the mid 1800's to state that Hindus were not sons of the soil....<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
