Is the Aryan migration theory true or false? The latest DNA study might just have the right answer to this. The study went through the ancestry of different regions, anthropomorphic, historical, archeological, and other evidence to come up with a solid understanding of the history of the Aryan invasion to understand where the Indians came from and when they did. Find out the actual history of Indians and how much Aryan DNA you have depending on which part of India you live in.
