Aryans

The Aryans were a group of ancient people who are believed to have migrated into the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE. They spoke an early form of Sanskrit and are known for their contributions to the Vedic scriptures, which laid the foundation for Hinduism. The term "Aryan" also refers to their societal structure, which included a focus on agriculture, governance, and a class system. Over time, the identity and meaning of "Aryan" evolved, sometimes leading to misinterpretations in modern history, particularly in the context of racial theories in the 19th and 20th centuries, which have been widely discredited.
