Additions to "Aryan Controversy" Bibliography

Submitted by Asko Parpola, 21 Nov 1996

[The following bibliography was submitted by Prof. Parpola, who
reviewed the RISA-L discussion and bibliography on the Aryan migration
controversy  and reported that many of the references to his publications
"are at best marginal as far as this topic is concerned, while many of the most
important publications in this field are missing."   L. Nelson]

A basic reference is:

Parpola, Asko, 1988. The coming of the Aryans to Iran and India and the
cultural and ethnic identity of the Dâsas. Studia Orientalia 64:
195-302. Helsinki. (This paper was reprinted, without my permission and
in fact against my express wish to the contrary, in the International
Journal of Dravidian Linguistics, without mentioning the original place
of publication and with unindicated deletions.) 

This paper is nowpartially antiquated, as my views have been evolving with
new evidence and continued deliberation. Successive revisions which however
do not repeat much material of the above article that I still subscribe to are:

Parpola, Asko, 1993. Margiana and the Aryan problem. Information

of Central Asia 19: 41-62. Moscow.
