Who were the Aryans and their origin?

As the historians have forwarded different theories regarding the original home of the Aryans it becomes very difficult to come to final conclusion on the contrary several scholars ascribe to be the theory, that ‘Sapt-Sindhu’ was the original home of the Aryans .Some European scholars and Indian Scholars opine that Tibet, Central Asia , Arctic Region, Pamir Plateau, South-Eastern Europe, Bohemia, Southern Russia , Germany, Mesopotamia etc were the original homes of Aryans .

According to some Indian scholars the word Aryan signifies a ‘ Noble-man’ . In the context of Indian history ‘The Aryan’ is that great race while authored the Vedas and the main center of its was ‘Sapt-Sindhu’ the land of seven rivers.

In a view of large number of theories , it is difficult to come to conclusion about the original home of the Aryans . Every theory has some merits and drawbacks . Thus, Central Asiatic Theory given by German scholar Max Mullar seems to be more plausible and most relevant theory. According to this theory Central Asia was the original home of the Aryans .On the basis of the study of ‘Zend Avesta’ and the ‘Rigveda’ the two scriptures of the Aryans and the Persians respectively it was concluded that the origin of human race took place in Aryana Boizo this place is in Central Asia .

Besides, its relevance  this theory is also criticized on various factors. However Central Asia is a desert. It does not seem appropriate that such a cultural race had lived in this desert . Moreover , there is no mention of Central Asia in the Vedas .Even it does not seem convincing that due to some reasons the Aryans left Central Asia and not even a single family remained there.
