The Aryans had a lasting effect on Indian society by introducing the Caste System, which divided people into distinct social classes based on occupation and birth. This system influenced social structure and hierarchy in India for centuries to come.
The decline of the Aryans is attributed to various factors, including their integration with the indigenous Dravidian population, the rise of regional kingdoms, and external invasions by groups such as the Persians and Greeks. Over time, the Aryans lost their dominance in the Indian subcontinent, leading to their eventual assimilation into larger South Asian societies.
Information about the Aryans comes primarily from Vedic texts such as the Rigveda, which provide insights into their society, customs, and beliefs. Linguistic analysis, comparative mythology, and genetic studies also contribute to our understanding of the Aryans and their migration patterns. While the lack of direct archaeological evidence presents challenges, these interdisciplinary approaches help scholars piece together a picture of the Aryans.
The theory that Aryans invaded the Indus Valley civilization is debated among historians. Some believe that the Aryans migrated peacefully into the region, while others suggest there might have been conflicts. The lack of concrete evidence makes it difficult to definitively say whether there was an invasion.
The introduction of iron to the Aryans allowed for the production of stronger tools and weapons, which significantly improved their agricultural practices and military capabilities. This led to increased food production, better infrastructure, and enabled the Aryans to expand their territories and establish more sophisticated societies.
The Mongols, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, created a vast and lasting empire in the 13th century that spanned across Asia and Europe.

The Aryans were responsible for the Indus Valley civilization. They drove out most of the original inhabitants of North India, called Dasyus, who were probably related to Andamanese and Austro-Asiatic language speaking tribes.
