Answers
Answer:
Original Home of the Aryans It is generally believed that they were not the original inhabitants of India. Some historians say that the original home of Aryans was Central Asia. Others are of the opinion that their original home was in southern Russia (near the Caspian Sea) or in the south-east Europe (in Austria and Hungary). The Aryans who had migrated to India are known as the 'Indo-Aryans'. Bal Gangadhar Tilak said that Aryans originally inhabited Siberia but due to the falling temperature had to leave Siberia for greener pastures.
