Again there are different opinions and argument which you can just google:
"The Indus Valley civilization had a form of writing but till date the
code hasn’t been cracked. As a result little is known of their
political system or their religion. But a number of engraved seals and
terracotta figurines give us some clues about what life must’ve been
like. The Indus Valley civilization was at its peak during 2,300-1,700
BC, after which it declined. The reasons for the decline are not clear.
While some scholars say tectonic upheavals caused a series of floods
others attribute it to climatic change, as the area grew cooler and
drier. It has also been suggested that rivers changed course. In those
days less rainfall or a changed in the course of a river would have had
severe consequences for farming and consequently on trade and commerce.
Like all early civilizations the Indus Valley depended on farming."
So I do not believe only aryan invasion would have destroyed.
Unlike many believe Aryans- were indo-european tribe there has been 1000 researches which proved that is wrong, it is the only western scholar who are keep repeating this fact to show their supremacy.
Read this peice too- like I said,
"After the collapse of the Indus Valley civilization a new wave of
people entered India. The Aryans came from central Asia( I SAID TURKIMINISTAN) and entered
India through Afghanistan after 1500 BC. ( MAKE SENSE) Their entry into the Indian
sub-continent was probably through a series of invasions from the North
over a period of time. The Aryans were a semi-nomadic race of
pastoralists. By 1,000 BC they had learned to use iron. However in time
the Aryans settled down and became farmers.
Slowly a more ordered and settled society evolved. Tribes went on to
become kingdoms. The Aryans became the priests, rulers and warriors,
free peasants and merchants. The subdued people became the slaves,
laborers and artisans. In time this stratified society crystallized
into the present day caste system.
ONE MORE THING-RIG -VEDA on contraray to popular belief that is written by BRAMHINS, as a matter of fact , it is a comprehensive doctrine which inlvolved many ethnic groups. And dates back to as early as 4000BC. Again there are lot of contradictions-
some scholars claims- it is written by aryans, but if like jpeg said aryans came only in 1700 BC then how can that be possible???, this means aryans were there before 1700 BC. So many scholars came to this conclusion that " aryan" often referred to as " indo-european" tribe are not the aryan who wrote RIG VEDA, " aryan who came from central asia and part of mohenzodaro civilzation" are the one who must have written rig veda and are the true aryans.
Again this is not as easy as there a many schools of thoughts.
