There seems to be a gap in terms of documentation before the medieval times all the way to the Vedic times.
People assume that Aryans came to India and did a bunch of stuff and then there was a time skip and then in the year 1000 they suddenly transformed into brown people and got conquered by muslims.

What parts of Indian history can actually be claimed to be attributed to Aryans? Was India even Aryan during the time Alexander the great was fighting some of the kingdoms there?
I always hear white supremacists claim Buddha was European and stuff, Buddha can be attributed close to the time Alexander came to India, was India really a white paradise or something until recently?

Idk man, but that definitely sounds like horseshit.

The majority of the hindu religion and the languages spoken by non-dravidian indians.

It was never aryan majority, however, the ruling classes were overwhelmingly aryan for quite a while.

I guess you're thinking of the hypothesized scythian origin of the shakya clan.

Nobody thinks this. Stop taking shitposts on an Irish basket weaving forum so literally.

John Keay's India: A History is a good single volume introduction, it covers everything from about 5000 BC to 2009 AD

Buddha probably wasn’t European but he did have blue eyes and was of royal aryan caste, and probably had caucasoid features. Chinks always portray him as Asian though.

Same thing with fucking Nips. Stop it already. Genetic ancestry doesn't mean fuck all if the current iteration is clearly alien.
