Why do Hindu's believe that no one immigrated during ancient times?

Does scripture claim that the different tribes always lived in Bharat, therefore it is a matter of faith in scripture?

Or, if not—if scripture doesn't care about it, then why do most Hindu's adamantly deny any ancient immigration against all evidence?

This isn't a question about the theory, so it cannot be scientific speculation.

I just want to know why this belief persists 😭 You all act like I've done something wrong even mentioning it. I want to respect people, but when you act like this it only makes me curiouser about the issue
