"Till how long will you keep dragging the corpse of aryan invasion theory with you? It has been even removed by all American universities from their syllabus for lack of evidence"

This is patently untrue. There were some attempts by some pseudo-hindu groups to get some US education agency to accept their attack on the aryan invasion theory. It did not succeed.

Anyway, how does it matter to the majority of indians who do not like to identify themselves as Aryan? All that is worth in India literature, religion, and science in the ancient times were the achievements of indigenous people, and not of Aryans. Aryans had nothing to do with it, irrespecive of whether they came from outside or inside.
The hindu epics too were written by indigenous people who were not even Brahmin. Mahabharata was written by Ved Vyasa. Bhagvat Gita was written/ recited by Krishna. Ramatyana was written by Valmiki. Were they brahmins? No!

Aryan ethno-centrism is now being brought into discourse by some people who have a mis-guided notions of being Aryans, as if Aryan word inmplies some superiority, which it doesn't. The indigenous people of India were far uperior to the so-called Aryans. Now this too needs to be said: Barhmins too are indigenous people. They are not any different from other Indians. If you go from Tamil Nadu to Kashmir and Maharashtra to Bengal, you cannot escape this fact: A Tamil Brahmin is indisngushable from the normal tamil person. A Bengali Brahmin looks like the avera
