The famous paper Narasimhan et., al 2019 is one paper that is held very
highly in AMT circles. But the issue is that the main author Narasimhan himself in his most recent tweet doubts his results coz there's a site
called Swat valley in present day Pakistan, which, in the paper itself
is considered a site where the Aryans settled before entering the
heartland of India. But weirdly, when we expect it to be consisting of a
lot of R1a Y chromosome (male dominated), the site has skeletons that
have more "steppe" mt.DNA (female dominated). Like I don't know what
anyone can infer from this except that the narrative that the Aryan men
came and impregnated aboriginal women could be false.
Lack of archeological evidence of any large scale migration. This is
very true and has no counter arguments so far.
As other comments have said, lack of any mention of Aryan homeland in
the Vedas. And good enough knowledge of the Indian geography and the
Punjab rivers that it is highly doubtful if they were recent migrants
and could have been acquainted with the region from a long time.
Genetics needing more nuance. The R1a (specifically R1a1) gene is
considered as the "Aryan" gene, coz it's also observed to be present in
the Steppe region in ancient times. It is observed from genetics that
the upper castes have more %age of this gene than other castes and since
upper castes practiced more endogamy the bloodlines are considered pure
(as in largely unaffected) from ancient times and putting ahead the
narrative of Aryans migrating with the local populace but considered themselves high castes and therefore the "Aryan gene" just was
transmitted from bloodlines to present upper caste Indians. Except, this
is not entirely true as there are some tribes such as the Chenchu, Todas
and some North Indian tribes that have a higher R1a %age than some
Brahmins in different regions! So this narrative obviously needs some
work and you can't just say all upper castes have steppe genes or something.
Genetics and linguistics point out a very late date in the migration of
Aryans (1200 BCE) but the Rig Veda is considered to be from 1900-1700 BCE.
Finally, the lack of evidence from IVC itself. Tho the skeletons that
were genetically examined showed DNA that's mostly present in the people
of South India (a great simplification, because it is also similar to
many peoples of North India but pretty less than South India), the
samples they examined were pretty less (2-3 from Rakhigarhi) and some
outliers from Shahr-i- Shokta and a place from BMAC. Point is, we don't
have concrete evidence of the population distribution in IVC and
therefore there's a lot of confusion now. There's a good chance these
Aryans could've been a group in a part of IVC itself but only god knows
what really happened in that advanced but mysterious civilization.
Happy thanksgiving.
