What are the causes of Aryan migration?
A group of warrior nomads, the Aryans, began to migrate into the Indus Valley region around the time that the Harappan Civilization began to decline. Scholars disagree about whether the Aryans overtook the Harappan Civilization by force, or simply moved in and coexisted with them during their decline. Regardless, the nomadic Aryans were predominately a cattle-breeding society, and they learned how to live as settled agriculturists from the remaining Harappan people. Therefore, the Aryans absorbed remnants of the Harappan Civilization and integrated them into their own culture to form the Vedic culture. Since the Indus Valley Civilization left no written records, the nature of the transition from the Harappan culture to the resulting Vedic culture is that much more a mystery

Why dont you know much about the Harappan civilization?
Part of the problem is the lack of writing. Many other civilizations have numerous texts that - once deciphered - grant a significant understanding of several aspects of the society. Only a very few sources or writing are known for this civilization, and the extreme lack of sources has hampered any attempt to decipher it. Another problem is a lack of artifacts. While the layout of many of the buildings and the general layout of the town is known, few artifacts were found within it. Either they were taken when the people left or looters have long since removed them. Much of our understanding of ancient civilizations comes from artifacts. For example, if we find pottery of a certain type, then it might show that trade existed with this other settlement or civilization - where that type of pottery is common. It might also reveal clues as to what methods the civilization used to make and fire pottery, what understanding they had or lacked regarding how to make and apply glazes, and so forth.
