lets base history on findings not prior leanings

Be it right wing, left wing or any other preconceived ideas, facts that can point to a conclusion cannot lie. Agreed that the Indus script is not deciphered yet and the Drokpas of Himalayas have DNA close to greek/mediterranean but this itself does not prove anything. In the long history of civilizations there have been countless occasions when a group A belonging to nation A is found in Nation B. For example Roma's of Europe or Arabs in Southern India or Indians in Madagascar and Arabia. A part migration cannot prove the whole nation came from the migrants especially when there are archeological proofs of civilization existing in the same or other part of the land at the same time.
