Nag,
You are looking at the mtDNA page not at the Y-DNA page for R1a1.
"AIT/AMT adherents keep bringing this up to say that R1 actually is European even though R is in India, I am confused."
R1b is now well known to be a late entrant into Europe from the ME: actually it is Iranian and even Possibly even S Asian.
It is impossible to maintain the opposite direction of migration for R1a1 from that of R1b. Quite simply.
