According to Hinduism and Vedas, Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati, in the 8th Chapter of his world famous book, Satyarth Prakash, describing The Creation , Sustenance and Dissolution of The Universe, quoting the reference from the oldest Scriptures Vedas, writes that the mankind was created by God in Trivishtap otherwise called Tibet. They were divided into two main classes, - the good and the wicked. The good were called Aryas and the wicked Dasyus.Says the Rig Veda, "Do ye know (there are) two classes of men - Aryas and Dasyus." The good and learned were also called Devtaas, while the ignorant and wicked, such as dacoits (robbers), were called Asura. .("RIG VEDA 2: 51, 8)

This division into Aryas and Shudras is supported by the Atharva Vedawherein it is said "Some are Aryas, others Shuudras..( ATHARVA VEDA19:62)

And then to another question that, "How did they happen to come to India?" the book says,"When the relations between the Aryas and Dasyus, or between Devas and Asuraas, (i.e., between the good and learned, and the ignorant and wicked) developed into a constant state of warfare, and serious troubles arose, the Aryas, regarding this country as the best in the whole earth, emigrated to India and colonized it. For this reason it is called Aryavarta - the abode of the Aryas.

"It is bounded on the North by the Himalayas, on the South by the Vindyachal mountains, on the East and West by the sea. It has also on its West the Sarasvati River (Sindh or Attock) and on the East the Dhrisvati river also called the Brahmaputra which rises from the mountain east of Nepal, and passing down to the east of Assam and the west of Burma, falls into the Bay of Bengal in the Southern Sea (Indian ocean). All the countries included between the Himalaya on the North and Vindhyachal mountains on the south as far as Rameshwar are called Aryavarta, because they were colonized and inhabited by Devas (the learned) and Aryas - the good and the noble." Manu 2: 22, 17. It had no name, nor was it inhabited by any other people before the Aryas(settled in it) who sometime after creation came straight down here from Tibet and colonized this country

To the reference to Iran, the book says that some people have said that the Aryas came from Iran (Persia) and hence they were called Aryas.; which is absolutely wrong. Before the Aryas came to India it was inhabited by savages whom the Aryas called Asuraas and Raakshasas as (demons), while they called themselves Devatas (gods). After the wars between the two, called by the name Devaasura Sangraam, they emigrated to India and colonized it. For this reason it is called Aryavarta - the abode of the Aryas. In no Sanskrit book - historical or otherwise - it is recorded that the Aryas emigrated here from Iran, fought with and conquered the aborigines, drove them out, and became the rulers of the country.
