Aryans ever invaded India? This is a very burning question of Indian History. Some people think that they did while others say they didn't. I also think that they never invaded india and they were the original inhabitants of "Bharatvarsha". Let, give some time to my thoughts.
About 4500-5000 years ago, a great urban based Civilisation flourished across the western india. Previously archaeologist and historians thought that the center of that civilisation was around greateriver Indus, but now people think that the center was between Indus river and river Saraswati. The civilians of this civilisation were the worshippers of Mother Goddess, Pashupati and forces of nature. Very early form of Hinduism can be found in the seals, altars of this civilisation. The main problem is that we are yet not able to decipher the Harrappan script.
Western scholars say that the Aryans came from central asia and destroyed this great urban civilisation and propagated their own culture and religion. They composed hymns in the form Vedas. The main flaw with this thought was that in whole Rig veda there is not even a single line about the place from where the Aryans were supposed to come to india, but there are lines depicting the great Harappan civilisation. How can a person will forget to write about the place from where he is supposed to be migrated?. This point clearly suggest that the Aryans were the followers of Harrappan civilisation.
Another point is that suppose they attacked india and destroyed Harrappan civilisation then why they had accepted the religion and customs of harrappan civlisation. History books clearly suggest that the victor dictates the terms and conditions to the looser.
Another point is that if they attacked india then how they had the knowledge of geographical boundaries of india as written in Rigveda.
But now there is another question if Aryans were the civilians of Harrappan civilisation then how this great civilsation become extinct. Many scholars think that, that may be due to the floods in Indus river, this reason is also justified by the history of india which clearly says that after Harrappan civilsation people moved to eastern india in the plains of ganges.
This topic is highly debatable and i welcome all comments.

Your points seem logical and similar to points put forward by the those who believe that Aryans are not from outside. But, how can one explain some
fundamental differences in languages i.e Indo-Aryan and Dravidian
