i believe the accepted model says that the aryans were people from Persia. they probably were people that came to occupy the extreme northwest portion of India after the Indus Valley civilization collapsed. The extensive trade carried on by the IVC would have affected most of the Middle East/East African world, especially, their immediate neighbors the Bactraian culture, with whom they had strong trade relations. Once the trade stopped, the Bactrains could have SLOWLY moved east searching for the trade.

 

with them came their language, which came to dominate Indian culture, probably because of their writing. THe IV script seems more like Egyptian heiroglyphics, than lettered writing.

 

i dont think it was this whole elaborate invasion or take over but rather a passive migration into lands that became abandoned.
