In a compelling webinar hosted by Sangam Talks, Dr. M L Raja takes center stage to present a comprehensive analysis of the Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT), challenging its credibility and shedding light on its historical context. The esteemed audience, comprised of scholars and patriots, witnesses Dr. Raja’s meticulous deconstruction of the theory, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to address these critical issues. Dr. Raja, a distinguished medical professional with additional qualifications in Ophthalmology, Archaeology, Epigraphy, and History, begins by questioning the plausibility of the Aryan Invasion Theory, referring to it as AIIT.
The lecture unfolds in two main parts, with Dr. Raja first exploring the origin and spread of the Aryan Invasion Theory. He scrutinizes its beginnings, the motives behind its dissemination, and importantly, highlights the absence of concrete evidence supporting the theory. Dr. Raja promises to delve into the malevolent motives during the course of the webinar. A pivotal point in the presentation is the introduction of Filippo Sessetti, an Italian who arrived in India in 1583. Dr. Raja brings forth Sessetti’s documented observations, revealing intriguing phonetic similarities between Sanskrit and Italian languages. Through specific examples like “Deva” in Sanskrit and “Idio” for God in Italian, Dr. Raja underscores the basis for the Indo-European language family.
The webinar further explores linguistic similarities in other European languages and Persian, leading to the conception of the Proto-Indo-European language. Dr. Raja delves into historical figures like William Jones and the evolution of the term “Indo-German language” to “Indo-European language” influenced by British individuals like Rosen. The geopolitical context of the 18th century emerges as a key aspect in Dr. Raja’s analysis. With European powers vying for control over India, England’s victory led to challenges in governing the vast population.
