Which of course makes the question of whether it happened or not unproveable and thus scientifically moot. But one can of course always argue a hypothetical "what if?" just for fun :cool:

Actually there is quite a lot of evidence both linguistic and genetic for an invasion/migration of Indo-Europeans into India. Most Indian populations show a mixture of Indo-European (IE) and Dravidian haplotypes with a higher percentage of IE in the North. This fits very well with the language map in contemporary India.

and the language map (IE language ares are colored in)
