Banjara theory anyone?
Banjara in linguistic chronology is new, although it has much older roots
Yin and Yang could also be symbolic presentation of two very different culture and societies. The comparison is between night and day, darkness and sunlight, etc. This could also mean war between two different civilizations. As this is a "Traditional Chinese", concept, it could very well have its roots in ancient tribes living in ancient China, Mongolia, central Asia, Siberia, etc. Ancient tribal migration from the north and their struggle with the southern kingdoms could have been depicted in this form. Light could have depicted these tribes and the darkness could have depicted the southern tribes. This could very depict two very different civilizations in ancient times.

It is interesting to see that word "Tao", is only present in few communities in northwestern area's of Indian subcontinent
We can see that word "Tao", has carried on in its purest form, but the words which might be similar are not true, rather a case of integrating native tribes, to form bigger alliance.
This example can be see from ancient stories like "Ramayana", which show two different characteristics, one a person from south of India, who is a king and learned Priest and another a roaming person searching for his lost wife.
Stories like "Ramayana", is an example of war/clash between two different civilizations.
V. S. Agrawala [SUP][1][/SUP] writes that Administrative Officers in Panini included Duta – The Dūta or emissary was named after the country to which he was deputed. The term Pratishkasha also denoted a messenger. Couriers were called Jaṅghākara (III.2.21), corresponding to Jaṅghārika of Kautilya (Arth, II.1, p.46) .
Reference 1. V. S. Agrawala :India as Known to Panini, p. 410
Shantanu ji here you forget that V S Agrawal is a reputed authority and writing on India as known to Panini. Panini lived in 6th century BC. What ancient reference older than this do you have ?
