The term "Indo-Aryans" refers to a group of people who are part of the larger Indo-European family. They are primarily associated with the migration of tribes into the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE. The Indo-Aryans are known for their contributions to the early development of Sanskrit, a classical language of India, and the composition of the Vedas, which are ancient sacred texts. Indo-Aryans played a significant role in shaping the cultural and linguistic landscape of northern India. Their arrival marked the beginning of the Vedic period, which laid the foundation for many aspects of Hindu culture and society. Over time, the Indo-Aryan languages evolved, leading to the diverse languages spoken in India today.
