What evidence would offer proof for the different theories about the origins of the Indo-Aryans?

Explanation:

Historians have taken different views on the origins of the Indo-Aryans. In the past, many historians accepted the Aryan invasion theory, but many historians today reject this idea. This theory held that the Indo- Aryans were nomadic warriors who crossed the mountains into India. They used horse-drawn chariots and iron weapons to defeat the local people.

Others have argued that the Aryans were India’s original inhabitants.

They say that if the Indo-Aryans came from a region outside of India,

the Vedas would refer to it. The Vedas, however, do not make any

mention of such a place.

More recently, scholars suggest a third theory, which suggests Indo-

Aryans were originally from what is now Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Over many centuries, they migrated into India with their livestock,

mixed with local people, and adopted local beliefs. Local people

adopted the Indo-Aryan language. Over time, people across a large

part of the Indian subcontinent came to see themselves as Indo-Aryans.

So the evidence for the first theory is:  This theory held that the Indo- Aryans were nomadic warriors who crossed the mountains into India. They used horse-drawn chariots and iron weapons to defeat the local people.

second theory: They say that if the Indo-Aryans came from a region outside of India, the Vedas would refer to it. The Vedas, however, do not make any

mention of such a place.

Third theory: Over many centuries, they migrated into India with their livestock, mixed with local people, and adopted local beliefs. Local people

adopted the Indo-Aryan language. Over time, people across a large

part of the Indian subcontinent came to see themselves as Indo-Aryans.
