Pandit Chalam's conclusions about Indian History, arrived before 1950 are supported by the recent Genetic Studies between 1990 and 2006.
None of the nine major genetic or DNA studies in India between 1990 and 2006 lends any support to Aryan Invasion. The overall picture emerging from these studies in India between 1990 and 2006 is, first, an unequivocal rejection of a 3500-BP arrival of a “Caucasoid” or Central Asian gene pool. Just as the imaginary Aryan invasion / migration left no trace in Indian literature, in the archaeological and the anthropological record, it is invisible at the genetic level. The agreement between these different fields is remarkable by any standard, and offers hope for a grand synthesis in the near future, which will also integrate agriculture and linguistics.
Secondly, they account for India’s considerable genetic diversity by using a time-
scale not of a few millennia, but of 40,000 or 50,000 years. In fact, several experts, have in the last few years proposed that when Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa, he first reached South-West Asia around 75,000 BP, and from here, went on to other parts of the world. In simple terms, except for Africans, all humans have ancestors in the North-West of the Indian peninsula. In particular, one migration started around 50,000 BP towards the Middle East and Western Europe: “indeed, nearly all Europeans — and by extension, many Americans — can trace their ancestors to only four mtDNA lines, which appeared between 10,000 and 50,000 years ago and originated from South Asia.”
