A must get for libraries and must read for interested scholars. Religious Studies Review [Byrant] does an extraordinary job of showing the ambiguity and uncertainty of both linguistic and archeological evidence for either a migration or indigenous presence of "Ayrans" in India. Religious Studies Review ... a groundbreaking book. Byrant wades into the highly contested debut about whether or not there was a migration by "Aryans" into the south Asian subcontinent. Religious Studies Review Scholars of South Asia in general will find this work extremely informative. It will serve to bring us up-to-date regarding the data and theories about prehistoric South Asia that are found in our, by now, mostly outdated handbooks. The Journal of Asian Studies Well-written ... a detailed and valuable review of the history of the debate ... we should all greatly appreciate Bryant's intellectual effort in presenting all aspects of the debate.
