Aryans came from Persians mixing into the local populations in India.

LOLwut?

Persians were speaking Avestan (and carving inscriptions in it) at the same time the Rig Vedas were being introduced to India.

Possibly a century earlier.

Indians do not have a monopoly on Aryan heritage, no matter how badly their present far-right leadership wants to claim that.

The most direct cultural and linguistic descendents of the Aryans are Indian minorities.

I could have worded that previous comment more clearly. But it was essentially pastoralist from Persia / Afghanistan that migrated towards India and mixed with other groups along the way. Aryan was never one single ethnic group, it was a shared language and cultural similarities.
