Indo-Aryan migrations

Indo-Aryan migrations refer to the movement of ancient peoples from Central Asia into the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE. These groups, speaking Indo-European languages, gradually settled in northern India, influencing the local culture, language, and society. Their arrival marked a significant cultural shift, contributing to the development of Hinduism and the Vedic civilization. Scholars study these migrations to understand the formation of early Indian society and its linguistic heritage. The process was complex, involving interaction with indigenous populations and adaptation to new environments over centuries.
