Aryan migration

The Aryan migration theory suggests that around 1500 BCE, groups speaking early Indo-European languages migrated into the Indian subcontinent from Central Asia. These migrating peoples, often referred to as Aryans, likely brought with them new languages, cultural practices, and social structures that influenced ancient Indian civilizations. Evidence includes linguistic similarities across Indo-European languages, archaeological findings, and textual references. While some debate the extent and timing of these migrations, the theory helps explain the origins of many cultural and linguistic features in South Asia, highlighting historical interactions and movements of peoples across Eurasia.
