Okay, back to share this. Also, the Aryan invasion theory has been discarded by most experts who agree it was a migration and over time - not all at once.
The Indo-Aryan people DID migrate to India and slowly influenced, shaped, and led to the Vedic era after the Indus Valley Civilization ended.
Tumblr media
What people don't realize is all these regions shown here were not monolithic and locked down in terms of migration, trade, or any of that. The old world traded A LOT. People migrated by land and sea. We have charts of the oceanic silk road trade routes
South Asia had a huge influence in South East Asia through the above mentioned ways, and so, believe it or not, yeah, people of all backgrounds got hinky and jiggy wit it (that's old people talk for the Gen Z's here - you'll get what it means when you're older) anyways, because of this South Asians are genetically really diverse which is cool and has led to all kinds of features that are all beautiful.
This is in part due to its location and natural wealth from agricultural possibilities to mineral riches and more.
It's had a rich/diverse population history over the ages, different migrations of people through it, and people engaging in endogamous practices which leads to the commonality of some kinds of features.
So you get both: wildly diverse and the common.
A great example of this is if you look up people from the Hunza Valley which is located in present day Pakistan in where you'll find folks with south asian features but also more european coloring in hair (up to ruddy blonde and red hair, yes) and lighter colored eyes. Random but related this is in part what led James Hilton, the writer behind the myth of Shangri-La, to come up with the place. It wasn't inspired by China, but what he had seen in the Hunza Valley
