Best Answer

Aryans is the collective name for several people groups living in northern India and present-day Iran around 1500 BC. The way of life of the various Aryan tribes differed, and some lived largely in the same way as the Indus Valley people. Which is not surprising as some Indo-Aryans actually were Indus Valley people.

But by and large you could say that the Indus Valley people were settlers, farmers and artisans. Many of the Aryan peoples were semi-nomadic herdsmen.

One trait to be found among nomadic tribes through the ages is that they are very territorial when it comes to what they consider as 'their' grazing grounds and they tend to easily start quarrels and fights with their neighboring tribes about them. So the Aryans were considered as much more 'warlike' than the Indus Valley people.
