Aryans are the Andite Vedic conquerors that penetrated in India ca. 2500 B.C. from Turkestan. [1]
Aryans also were the Hellenic invaders of Greece, and brought along with them anthropomorphic God concepts similar to those which their Aryan fellows had carried to India. The early influence of the Salem teachers was nearly destroyed by this so-called Aryan invasion from southern Europe and the East. [2] Early Andites were not Aryan; they were pre-Aryan. [3] They came to have thirty-three deities. [4] Language of Aryans is what gave similarity to Occidental tongues. [5] Sumerian language was not Semitic; had much in common with Aryan. [6] Andite migration to the Levant and India from Turkestan occurred due to aridity that forced the Andonites to invade south into Andite territory. [7]
The Aryans made very little racial impression on India except in the northern provinces. [8]
These invaders never completed the conquest of the country and subsequently met their undoing in this neglect since their lesser numbers made them vulnerable to absorption by the Dravidians of the south, who subsequently overran the entire peninsula except the Himalayan provinces. [9] They used caste system to save racial identity in the face of a rising tide of the secondary Sangik peoples. [10] They had a semidemocratic form of government. [11]
