Answer (3)

The Aryan have a big influence towards the Indus Valley People, which is the Dravidian. Before the Aryan came, the Dravidian has a very sophisticated technology that can be seen from the Mohenjo-Daro city which has sanitation system, etc. But, when the Aryan came with army they conquered the Indus Valley, and drove away the Dravidian. And the Aryan became the ruler of the Indus Valley. The Dravidian became slaves, etc. To maintain the purity of the Aryan, they create a cast system that divided the Indus Valley people into 4 major cast : Brahma (priest), Ksatria (King and Royals), Waisya (Traders), and Sudra ( Slaves, which is the Dravidian)

The Aryans significantly impacted the Indus Valley people by introducing a caste system, their language (Sanskrit), and cultural practices around 1500 BCE, following their migration and settlement after the decline of the Indus Valley Civilization. They structured society into castes, with the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. Their influence marked the transition to the Vedic Age and the development of early Hinduism.
