Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Aryans came to India from Central Asia. By 1500 BCE the Aryans migrated into the Indian subcontinent. Coming from central Asia, this large group of nomadic cattle herders crossed the Hindu Kush Mountains and came in contact with the Indus Valley Civilization.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Indo-Aryan Migration (1800-1500 BCE) By 1500 BCE, the Indo-Aryans had created small herding and agricultural communities across northern India. These migrations took place over several centuries and likely did not involve an invasion, as hypothesized by British archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler in the mid-1940s.

Detailed explanation-3: -Climate change and drought may have triggered both the initial dispersal of Indo-European speakers, and the migration of Indo-Europeans from the steppes in south central Asia and India. Around 4200–4100 BCE a climate change occurred, manifesting in colder winters in Europe.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ancient Aryans were a group of people who were originally from central Asia. Three thousand years ago, these Aryans settled in India, where they established the language of Vedic Sanskrit, founded the Vedic religion, and established a caste system of hierarchical classes.
