The Development of Aryan Invasion Theory in India

More about the book

Focusing on the Social Construction of Theory and comparative epistemology, this book examines the interplay between cultures during the colonial era and its impact on 19th-century thought. It critiques the linguistic studies that contributed to the acceptance of the empirically weak Aryan Invasion Theory, revealing how socio-religious influences shape academic narratives. The work emphasizes that scholarly advancements are often intertwined with contemporary socio-political contexts, ultimately arguing that academic research is susceptible to the biases of comparative epistemology.
