@hsunil10@MeanderingWonk@tishasaroyan This is not the study he is talking about. There is another study which the same researchers were involved and was published around the same time as well.
@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan PIE was reconstructed using internal reconstruction and with the help of comparative method, they found the path Indo-European language spread. This theory was later backed up by genetic evidence as we saw in papers in which Shinde and Rai were part.
@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan That is an alternative theory which is theorized using an alternative method. Indo-Aryan migration was primarily a linguistic theory. It was formed by using the comparative method and the method of internal reconstruction.
@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan The recent genetic evidence only confirmed the existing linguistic theory. Linguists reconstructed PIE and theorised that the languages spread from the Steppe to South Asia and Europe this was further confirmed by genetics as well.
@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan Like I said before you can believe what you want and the theory what you want. But the study did confirm that Indo-Europeans migrated into South Asia and mixed with the locals to form the ancestry of modern-day South Asians and also brought Indo-European language into South Asia.

@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan One is an outdated study. The other study suggests Central Asia as the source of Indo-European languages in South Asia but is not backed by genetic evidence.
@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan The Heggarty study says that the steppe is the source of Indo-European languages in South Asia but the dates suggested by the study do not match genetic evidence.
@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan The descendants of steppe pastorals spread via Central Asia not the people of IVC. They spread via Central Asia into South Asia intermixed with IVC and formed ANI.
@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan It was an alternative hypothesis using linguistics. They used statistics to come up with that hypothesis. The studies Shinde was part of were genetic studies. Genetic evidence doesn't support Heggarty's paper.
@AlokSah70897000@JagatBisht_@tishasaroyan The steppe intermixing happened after 2000 BCE they were Indo-European speaking people I don't care what theory you want to call this, this is what the study found. For your convenience, we'll call it IAMT 2.0. Now please show me where it says migration happened from South Asia.
