He chose Rigveda because it is the earliest Veda and its testimony will be accepted by all.īy making Rigveda as the foundation of his opinion, Dr Ambedkar made an observation that :Īn examination of the Vedic literature shows that there occur two words in the Rig Veda-one is Arya (अर्य) with a short ‘a’ and the other is Arya (आर्य) with a long ‘a’.

To answer this question, Dr Ambedkar cited both the views, the view which supports AIT and the view which oppose AIT, but obviously as both the views were completely contradicting, he thought it’s best to know the testimony of Rigveda. The very first assumption which those who support AIT makes is that ‘Aryan’ was a different ‘race’ which invaded India and attacked the native Indian race which was then called as ‘Dasyu’. And Dr Ambedkar answered each and every question in great detail.

When it comes to AIT, there are several questions which need to be answered by those who reject it. This may be a matter of surprise for the so-called Ambedkarites but this is a firm truth that Dr Ambedkar rejected and debunked AIT with facts and logic. Latest research on the Aryan invasion theory seems to confirm it, undermining the claims of Hindutva ideologues: Recently, Shashi Tharoor shared another new ‘research’ on AIT. The desire to keep this issue alive has significant political intent behind it. Every six months someone comes up with a fresh and reinforced version of an AIT (Aryan Invasion Theory) in a leading Indian or foreign publication.
