Detailed explanation-1: -As mentioned previously, the Aryan religion was a polytheistic religion. It has common origins with the Greek, Roman, and Egyptian polytheistic religions. The Aryan religion, as well as the Aryan rituals and culture are shaped by the Vedas, which are collections of religious hymns.
Detailed explanation-2: -Foreigners from the north are believed to have migrated to India and settled in the Indus Valley and Ganges Plain from 1800-1500 BCE. The most prominent of these groups spoke Indo-European languages and were called Aryans, or “noble people” in the Sanskrit language.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aryans were fair skinned, tall, and spoke a different language from Dravidians who were dark, short and spoke Dravidian language. Recent excavations have proved that Aryans arrived in India much later (1500 BC) while Indian society has been divided into castes much before (around 7000 BC).
