This is a daring outlier of a book. At a time when genetic research, coupled with linguistic and archaeological studies, provide path-breaking revelations on ‘who we are and how we got here’, Harsh Mahaan Cairae has chosen to trace the journey of the Aryan people from their earliest habitations exclusively through literary texts, primarily Vedic and Zoroastrian scriptures. The verifiable contours of the story he presents are, counterintuitively, not far out of line with current theories.
