The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur has issued calendar 2022. The calendar challenges the Aryan invasion. In each of the pages dedicated for the 12 months, the IIT argues the Aryan invasion. The calendar is prepared by the Centre of Excellence for Indian Knowledge System, IIT Kharagpur. Last year too the centre prepared India’s traditional knowledge system theme 2021 calendar.
In the concept note, the IIT calls the “current chronology of Indian civilization and history is dubious and questionable.” The calendar and IIT’s approach has been widely criticised by experts.
Extraordinary. IIT-Kharagpur has issued a 2022 calendar that is full of pseudoscience mumbo-jumbo, ostensibly to ‘debunk the Aryan invasion theory’. Whatever happened to real science and research, which IIT-Kh and its alumni have done so much of? pic.twitter.com/YgZhkgAtwQ— PKR | প্রশান্ত | پرشانتو (@prasanto) December 25, 2021
The calendar is divided into three basic pointers including – vedic culture, indus valley civilation, and why colonial rulers forged these ‘myths’.

The IIT argues that the Aryan invasion theory was bought by western teaching and they have used knowledge embedded in Vedas to debunk the same. Some have also agreed with the IIT.
