Hey mate here is your answer :
Indigenous Aryans, also known as the Out of India theory (OIT), is the idea that the Aryans are indigenous to the Indian subcontinent,[1] and that the Indo-European languages radiated out from a homeland in India into their present locations.[1] Reflecting traditional Indian views[2] based on the Puranic chronology, the indigenist view proposes an older date than is generally accepted for the Vedic period, and argues that the Indus Valley Civilization was a Vedic civilization. In this view, "the Indian civilization must be viewed as an unbroken tradition that goes back to the earliest period of the Sindhu-Sarasvati (or Indus) tradition (7000 or 8000 BCE)."[3] It is presented as an alternative to the established migration model,[4] which proposes the Pontic steppe as the area of origin of the Indo-European languages.[5][6][7]
The proposal is based on traditional and religious views on Indian history and identity, and plays a significant role in Hindutva politics.[8][9][2][web 1][web 2] Support for this idea mostly exists among Indian scholars of Hindu religion and the history and archaeology of India,[10][11][12][4] and has no support in mainstream scholarship.[note 1]
