Indo-Aryan neopaganism
Indo-Aryans are the predominant ethnic group of most of Pakistan and Northern India . Indo-Aryan paganism is a hypothetical religion for Indo Aryans who reject Christianity and Islam as foreign, as well as non-indo-aryan traditions such as those from Dravidians and Adivasi people and those that may be of Turkic or Arabic origin .It aims to reconstruct the religion of the Indo-Aryans, wishing to remove elements from modern Hinduism that does not equate to proto-indo-European tradition. Essentially, it's an attempt to revert to the faith of Indo-Aryans that just split from Indo-Iranians (who then split from Indo-Europeans). Sankskrit is the oldest indo-European language, making Hinduism the oldest continuous religion with a written record. Modern Hinduism today is composed of many different traditions in India, and not all of them are Indo-Aryan of origin.
This idea is not favored by people of the subcontinent who are caught between Two-nation theory as it may serve as a third option, to those of indo-aryan origin . Muslims reject this simply as apostasy, while Hindu nationalists would reject this, since they generally reject the Aryan migration theory and believe Aryans to be indigenous to India.
