This is a remarkable article of CC LambergKarlovsky which was critiqued by a number of scholars and CCLK replies to the critiques. The bottom line is that Aryan Invasion Theory is NOT evidenced in Archaeology. On the contrary, Meluhha settlements in Ancient Near East (ANE) point to Meluhha speakers moving Out of Bharat into the ANE region.
The decipherment of over 8000 Indus Script Inscriptions proves OIT since the underlying language is Meluhha, Bharatiya sprachbund, 'speech union' or Indian Linguistic Area of Sarasvati-Sindhu Civilization.
