No, I agree with you tooAlthough, er, technically the accepted view among Western historians and linguists is that the Proto-Indo-Europeans did come from Central Asia, around about the north-east of the Black Sea, and spread out from there to Europe in the west and Iran and India in the south-east (The Wikipedia article on Indo-European languages has some pretty good maps that illustrate the theory well).
I was merely pointing out that the theory popular in South Asia is that they came entirely from India, and that there was no invasion at all - just saying that there's always another viewpoint, especially on something as emotive as history ;)
