3 things that show OIT in Harvard’s AIT paper


1)BMAC people harboured Indian ancestry – People from the Indian subcontinent moved out of India around 3000 BCE and mixed with local herder populations of the BMAC region and gave rise to the BMAC civilisation. This same thing is also mentioned in the Puranas about how sons and descendants of Manu went out of India and conquered Bahlika(Bactria) and carried the language, culture and civilisation of India to outside India. It also quite satisfyingly fits with the genealogical timeline presented by Pargiter in his legendary 1904 book.

2)Ancient Indian Expats – Remains of 11 individuals carrying IVC ancestry were found at Shahr-i-Shokta of Iran and Gonur of Turkmenistan from at least 3300 BCE onwards. This shows a significant ancient Indian population living as expats spread out all over the neighbourhood in all directions. If this is not OIT, then I am not sure what will ever be! 
3) Migration from BMAC to the Steppes – This is quite fascinating because contrary to what the AIT people have been saying all along about the invasion of India by the Aryans from the steppes , this actually documents movement of Indians towardsthe Steppes! Explained in point 1 about how BMAC was formed with the help of Indians, any movement from BMAC to the Steppes, therefore, has to be a de facto Indian migration to the Steppes from India, and that too at 2800 BCE. So chronologically, Indians first created BMAC at 3000 BCE, made it their transit point, and then moved in to the Steppes from 2800 BCE.
