Aryan Invasion Dogma

This video examines why the Aryan Invasion Theory remains dominant in academic discourse, even as recent linguistic, archaeological, and genetic evidence increasingly supports the Out of India hypothesis. The script was structured to juxtapose scholarly resistance with historical references from Indian texts—many of which mention ancient migrations outward from the subcontinent.

Research for the video included reviewing contemporary debates in Indo-European linguistics, academic commentary by figures like Michael Witzel and Audrey Truschke, and the broader history of how colonial frameworks shaped global historical consensus. The narrative arc was built to show how terms like "Hindutva" are often deployed not as analytical categories but as rhetorical shields to avoid engaging with inconvenient evidence.

The tone was kept assertive but focused on sourcing. Each claim was paired with either a named academic position or scientific development, particularly in population genetics and comparative philology. Visually, the video relied on a mix of typographic emphasis, archive-based inserts, and motion design that supports the rhythm of the argument without overcrowding the screen.

All scripting, editorial pacing, voiceover direction, and graphic treatments were done in-house. The goal was to create a short-form piece that doesn’t aim to settle the debate, but highlights how unresolved it still is—despite the strong claims of finality from some corners of Western academia.
