Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -These new invaders brought a new language, Sanskrit, which actually had more in common with Greek or even modern English than any of the languages spoken in India at the time. This is because Sanskrit, like almost every language in Europe, is an Indo-European language.

Detailed explanation-3: -They travelled in Indian trade ships and were brought to Indian cities by Indian traders and sailors. Not only was their coming not an invasion, even the migration was not without the consent of the people of the Sapt Sindhu. The towns and cities of Sapt Sindhu were very well-administered.

Detailed explanation-4: -What weapons did the Aryans use? They had metal-tipped spears and wooden chariots, which they sometimes used to invade nearby villages for food.
