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.

In the Oppenheimer book, he calls MtDNA - R as Rohini, meaning Indian
He uses Mt-DNA-U as Europa, but U is originated in Punjab 50k years ago, U6 went into North Africa and is the Berber marker
