For two hundred years now, Indology has been built on two untenable axioms: one, that Vedic Sanskrit was brought into India by aggressor tribes to be imposed on the indigenous peoples; two, that there are two major families of Indian languages in North and South India, unrelated to each other. However much denied, there has also been an undercurrent of thinking, correlating races with these language families.

The axioms influenced conclusions about the course of history in India, often based on wishful interpretations of the letter of ancient and medieval mythological texts.

Indian linguistics was forever tied to the Indo-European theory, with hardly any attempt to correlate the living Indian languages to those of antiquity or to their neighbours.

Over the last thirty years, Vishvanath Khaire’s in-depth research in Sanskrit, Tamil and Marathi (the contact language of the supposed two families), has provided enough evidence of the unity of the two families, indicated the formation of Sanskrit from ancestors of the living Indian languages, and provided the means for proper understanding of Indian Mythology. This is New Indology.

New Indology is calling for nurture and development by Indologists of the 21st century.
