When the relation between the European languages and the Indic languages was first discovered in the 18th century, many scholars believed that this meant that European peoples originated in India. With the development of the field of historical linguistics, as the proto-Indo-European language began to be reconstructed, linguists realized that this model could not be reconciled with the knowledge about the proto-language. The standard view today is that the Indo-European languages originated somewhere in between India and Europe, either on the Pontic steppes (according to the prevailing Kurgan hypothesis), or in Anatolia. This view, sometimes called the Indo-Aryan migration theory, sees the Indo-Aryan-speaking people as having migrated from the northwest and arrived in the subcontinent, interacting with the native Dravidian-speaking and other groups already present in India.In the 20th century some have questioned this standard view, and sought to resuscitate the Indigenous Aryans model, according to which the Indo-European languages, or at least the Indo-Aryan languages, originated within the Indian subcontinent, as an alternative to the established migration model. The indigenist view sees the Indo-Aryan languages as having a deep history in the subcontinent and being the carriers of the Indus Valley Civilization (whose linguistic affiliations are otherwise considered to be unknown). This view proposes an older date than is generally accepted for the Vedic period, which is generally considered to follow the decline of Harappan culture.The debate has been entwined with political and religious arguments since a piece of crucial evidence is the dating of the Vedas, sacred scriptures of the Hindu religion. There has also been resistance among some Indian scholars to the idea that Indian culture can be divided between external Indo-European and indigenous Dravidian elements, a division which is sometimes described as a legacy of colonial rule and a hindrance to Indian national unity. The debate mostly exists among the scholars of Hindu religion and the history and archaeology of India, whereas historical linguists nearly unanimously accept the migration model of Indic origins."@en }
