Vedic Aryans

The Vedic Aryans were a group of Indo-European-speaking people who migrated into the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE. They brought with them their language, religion, and cultural practices, which formed the foundation of early Hindu traditions. Their society was organized into tribes and priestly classes, emphasizing ritual and oral knowledge, as reflected in the Vedas—ancient sacred texts. The Aryans played a significant role in shaping Indian civilization's religious and social structures, influencing subsequent Indian history. Their origins and migration patterns are studied through linguistics, archaeology, and ancient texts to understand their impact on South Asia’s development.
