The Aryan Invasion Myth
One of the most interesting puzzles in archaeology, and one that hasn't been completely solved yet, concerns the story of the supposed Aryan invasion of the Indian subcontinent. The story goes like this: The Aryans were a tribe of Indo-European-speaking, horse-riding nomads living in the arid steppes of Eurasia. Sometime around 1700 BC, the Aryans invaded the ancient urban civilizations of the Indus Valley, and destroyed that culture. The Indus Valley civilizations were far more civilized than any horse-back nomad, having had a written language, farming capabilities, and led a truly urban existence. Some 1,200 years after the supposed invasion, the descendants of the Aryans, so they say, wrote the classic Indian literature called the Vedic manuscripts.
Adolph Hitler and the Aryan/Dravidian Myth
Adolph Hitler twisted the theories of Gustaf Kossinna (1958-1931), to put forward the Aryans as a master race of Indo-Europeans, who were supposed to be Nordic in appearance and directly ancestral to the Germans.

Aryans are a caucasian race of people who invaded india and forced the native people (Dravidians) to move further south across the Vindhya mountains. The fair skinned Aryans enjoyed their ill-gotten gains and to maintain their notion of racial superiority gave birth to the vile Caste system where society is segregated/ divided into rigid classes that govern every aspect of civil life especially marriage.
This horrendous system survives to this day and is the cause why Hindus are never united and why India has been conquered by several invaders for centuries right from the Greeks, Mongols, Moghuls, British, etc. .

Aryans are descendents of the Nordics ,who were refugees from Mars before it got knocked out of orbit ,they later teamed up.(or at least some of them ),with the Anunaki and there was some crossbreeding.
they manifested on this planet in Sumaria and India.

a few theories on this,but the verdic verses do exsist,depends on your mind set,adolf re wrote his own version of historical facts,
the best theory is that they were vikings,i like that one, to sail all that way then learn a completely new language, aint it great, wikopedia gives a couple of enlightend theories those are the best of a sorry lot.
