F. E. Pargiter

"[The fact that there are Indo-European languages outside India: Pargiter clearly attributes the presence of these languages to the] Aila outflow of the Druhyus through the northwest into the countries beyond where they founded various kingdoms."

"The Aryans began at Allahabad, conquered and spread out northwest, west and south, and had by YayAti’s time occupied precisely the region known as MadhyadeSa… They expanded afterwards into the Punjab and East Afghanistan, into West India and the northwest Dekhan…"

"There was an outflow of people from India before the fifteenth century BC."

"Tradition or myth… directly indicates that the Ailas (or Aryans) entered India from the mid-Himalayan region."

"Indian tradition knows nothing of any Aila or Aryan invasion of India from Afghanistan, nor of any gradual advance from thence eastwards."

"Tradition… makes the earliest connexion of the Veda to be with the eastern region and not with the Punjab."

"[tradition] makes the Aila power begin at Allahabad and yet distinctly suggests that they came from outside India."

"The bulk of the Rigveda was composed in the great development of Brahmanism that arose under the succesors of king Bharata who reigned in the upper Ganges-Jumna doab and plain;"

"Indian tradition distinctly asserts that there was an Aila outflow of the Druhyus through the northwest into the countries beyond where they founded various kingdoms."

"The arguments used to prove the advance of the Aryans from Afghanistan into the Punjab might simply be reversed."
