Sapta-Sindhu Theory

Sapta-Sindhu Theory

Most Indian historians, especially Avinash Chandra Dass and Dr. Sampurnanand hold the view that the Sapta Sindhu land or (Modern Punjab and Sindh) were the initial home of the Aryans. Aryans moved down to the Vindhyas in the South and the Ganges in the east. During the epic age, the Aryan expansion covered the whole North India while their civilization spread all over South India. They draw this  conclusion from the geographical features described in the Rigvedic hymns. In Rigveda the Aryans  came from foreign land. The flora and fauna mentioned in the Rigveda conforms to what was found in the Punjab. So  some of these historians conclude that Aryans were not foreign invaders but an Indian race  that spread to other countries.
