From these regions, the Aryans migrated to various parts of the world. A number of these Aryan groups migrated to India, who came to be known as the Indo-Aryans.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aryan, name originally given to a people who were said to speak an archaic Indo-European language and who were thought to have settled in prehistoric times in ancient Iran and the northern Indian subcontinent.
