aryan

 The AIT portrays the arrival of the Aryans as a violent invasion and the subsequent conquest of the indigenous population, which led to the establishment of the caste system in India. This theory has been used to justify the Hindu nationalist agenda of creating a Hindu-only state and promoting the superiority of Hindu culture over other religions and ethnicities in India. The idea is that the Hindu culture and religion are "pure" and untainted by foreign influences, whereas other religions and cultures, such as Islam and Christianity, are seen as foreign and therefore inferior.

On the other hand, the AMT suggests that the movement of the Aryans into the Indian subcontinent was a gradual process of migration, cultural diffusion, and intermixing with the existing population. This theory does not support the idea of a pure Hindu culture but instead suggests that Indian culture is a mixture of various influences over time.

In terms of strategic importance, it is difficult to determine which theory is more beneficial for India, as it depends on the political and cultural goals of the Indian government. However, it is worth noting that promoting the idea of a pure Hindu culture could lead to conflicts with other religious and ethnic groups in India, which could have negative consequences for stability and security in the country. Alternatively, promoting a multicultural and inclusive identity could enhance social cohesion and strengthen India's soft power abroad.
