Indo-Aryan migration theory
The
Indo-Aryan migration theory
explains the introduction of the
Indo-Aryan languages
in the Indian subcontinent by proposing a migration from the
Sintashta culture
through
Bactria-Margiana Culture
and into northern
Indian subcontinent
(modern day
India
,
Pakistan
and
Nepal
). These migrations started approximately 1,800 BCE, after the invention of the war chariot, and also brought Indo-Aryan languages into the Levant and possibly
Inner Asia
. It was part of the diffusion of
Indo-European languages
from the
proto-Indo-European homeland
at the
Pontic steppe
, a large area of
grasslands
in far
Eastern Europe
, which started in the 5th to 4th millennia BCE, and the
Indo-European migrations
out of the Eurasian steppes, which started approximately 2,000 BCE.
