Ø The Location of the original home of the Aryans still remains a controversial point. Some scholars believe that the Aryans were native to the soil of India and some other scholars believe that the Aryans were migrated from outside [Central Asia (Max Muller)/ Europe/ Artic region (B. G. Tilak)].

Ø According to popular belief, the Aryans are supposed to have migrated from Central Asia into the Indian subcontinent in several stages or waves during 200 BC – 1500 BC.

Ø Boghazkai Incription (Asia Minor Turkey), which mentions 4 vedic gods Indra, Varuna, Mitra and Nasatya, proves Central Asian Theory as their homeland.
