Indigenous Aryanism, also known as the Indigenous Aryans theory (IAT) and the Out of India theory (OIT), is the conviction[1] that the Aryans are indigenous to the Indian subcontinent,[2] and that the Indo-European languages radiated out from a homeland in India into their present locations.[2] It is a "religio-nationalistic" view of Indian history,[3][4] and propagated as an alternative to the established migration model,[5] which considers the Pontic–Caspian steppe to be the area of origin of the Indo-European languages.[6][7][8][note 1]I
