    Around 2000 BC, drought, plague, or invasion caused Indo-European nomadic herders called the Aryans to migrate from Central Asia into northern India. As the Aryans entered the area where the Harappan civilization had collapsed, their culture gradually blended with the local Dravidians. Over time, Aryan traditions like Hinduism, the caste system based on occupations, and Sanskrit as the basis for Hindi became dominant in India.

    INDO -ARYAN

    MIGRATION
    Aryans were the Indo-European migrants
    who moved to south-east Asia around
    2000 BC.

    WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF
    THIS MIGRATION?
    Around 2000 BC, possibly drought, plague or
    invasion drove indo-europeans from their
    home in Central Asia. The Aryans were one
    such group. They were nomadic herders.
    Whether through invasion or peaceful
    migration, the Aryans moved into the area
    where the Harrappan Civilisation was already
    destroyed by natural disasters, the Aryans
    entered India slowly and gradually moving
    south into the sub-continent.
    WHAT WERE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS
    MIGRATION FOR THE PEOPLE INVOLVED?
    There were no negative consequences for the Aryans.
    They settled in and their culture blended in with the
    local Dravidians. Gradually their religion, language
    and traditions spread throughout India. Examples of
    this can be seen today in modern India for instance,
    their warrior, priest and commoner classes grew into
    caste system separating people on the basis of their
    jobs. Their language - Sanskrit is still known by many
    people in India and it is also the basis of Hindi - the
    most commonly spoken language in India. Hinduism -
    the most common religion in India is based on the
    religion and culture of the Aryans. The Aryans also
    bought new technology like
