The Arctic Home in the Vedas is a 1903 book by Indian nationalist, teacher and independence activist Bal Gangadhar Tilak on the origin of the Aryans. Based on his analysis of Vedic hymns, Avestic passages, Vedic chronology and Vedic calendars, Tilak argued that the North Pole was the original home of Aryans during the pre-glacial period, which they left due to climate changes around 8000 B.C., migrating to the Northern parts of Europe and Asia.
