Detailed explanation-1: -According to one long-held theory about the origins of South Asia’s caste system, Aryans from central Asia invaded South Asia and introduced the caste system as a means of controlling the local populations. The Aryans defined key roles in society, then assigned groups of people to them.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Indo-European Aryans migrated from Central Asia to India around 4000 years ago, transforming the weapons, religion, and language of the subcontinent. Some scholars believe they conquered an already weakened Indus Valley Civilization, using superior military technology such as the war chariot.
Detailed explanation-3: -With their advent, the religious thoughts of Aryans and indigenous people of Indus valley (the Dravidians) blended together to form the earliest form of Hinduism. This earliest form of Hinduism contained more of the Aryan religious traits which evolved over the course of time to make what we today know as Hinduism.
