2019 has been another exciting year and IndiaFacts published some very important articles highlighting different civilizational challenges affecting India. Here is a list of ten most widely read articles published this year.
- Journalist Attempts to Revive Aryan Invasion Myth Using Discredited Genetic Research
In this hard-hitting piece, A.L. Chavda exposes Tony Joseph’s attempts to revive the colonial Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT) in his recent book “Early Indians: The Story of Our Ancestors and Where We Came From” on the basis of racist, Hinduphobic Harvard geneticist David Reich’s recent research. Chavda demonstrates how the Russian archaeologist Leo Klejn has thoroughly debunked Reich’s pro-AIT research and how the New York Times has exposed Reich’s dubious, deeply flawed research methodology, alleged unethical practices, and unprecedented preferential treatment by scientific journals, thereby invalidating the basic premise behind the Joseph’s conclusions, effectively consigning it to the trash heap.
- Agenda for Hindu Survival: What we can do as individuals

- Book Summary: Western Foundations of the Caste System
Dr. Pingali Gopal presents a summary of the book “Western Foundations of the Caste System” edited by Martin Fárek, Dunkin Jalki, Sufiya Pathan, and Prakash Shah. The book consists of eight strong chapters on the ‘caste system’ of India based strongly on the pioneering work and research of S.N. Balagangadhara. Dr. Gopal notes that as per Balagangadhara, the caste system, the phenomenon constructed by the West, is an experiential entity only to the West and not to Indians. In this sense, the caste system has no existence outside of the Western experience of India.

- Checkmating Christianity: What India Can Learn From Japan
