> popular science and journalism has not done any favours by framing the IE studies as "The Aryans brought the Vedas with them from Europe",

I don't believe any reputable journalist or popular science publication has pushed that view in recent decades. Please post links if you have them

How do you define "reputable"? People don't only read reputable media.

If you take left leaning publications in English, I bet you can still find some subtle variation of this written by average journalist with only pop-sci level understanding of the topic.

The current gen of journalists and teachers have learned from previous gen of books and media, which obviously oversimplified this and also had various political agendas.

Sir, I am not going to keep links whenever I see this rhetoric in some online news site or local newspaper.
